Ooooh some interesting looking stuff there, any chance we could talk about the combat changes for 1.08?

Well hopfully with changes to the AI and to the game in general, the grindfest won't be as bad. However, I would like to see some things with the dynasty system. I would love for the first born to take over if the soverign dies, I would love to see my kids who may be bad eggs, and turn against me and take a city. I would love for above average soldiers to rise in ranks to the point of becoming a hero able t marry into the royal family...

I actually like the shards multiplying still...is that going to be removed with the new mana pool?

I actually like the idea of global mana. This will bring in multi turn casting, for massive world spells which I think will help make the player have a lot more strategic decisions involved with that. I really like the idea of spell books for each character, I would also go so far as to say perhaps having to level those casters as well to use those spells of higher level. Wisdom can be used to determine the number of spells the caste

It is very fair to say we did not have access to the full game until basically release. This did suck, and it made it hard for any of us to comment on the whole situation. The fact of the matter though, is that phase is over now, nothing we can do about it. The problem we have now is, basically info over load...so many ideas about how to fix combat/magic/you name it..I even saw a thread about the games graphics. The hardest part I would think is

I like it, Brad have a look at this:)

I would love to have sovereigns die of old age. Lets take it a step further, apon death there is a chance that some of your cities might leave your kingdom, or rebel due to instability.

I would assume it's possible....there definately is enough room, but I have never seen it.

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="35" id="2765826"]No tactical battles? I know a lot of gaming people. I don't know one that would purchase a game of this type, build cities, research techs, customize their armies and spells, only to get a pop-up box on the battles outcome. Not one. That includes me. I'm sorry, I've totally given up on this game and SD. I'm just glad I did not drag all my other friends into this. If MP people show "interest", THE

I'm impressed with the list as well...I hoping stardock printed it out and includes it in the next patch;) [e digicons]k1[/e]

I Was wondering if anyone would answer this.

[quote who="Jam3" reply="267" id="2765981"]There's a difference between "ascribing malice or greed" and just simply asking for you to take all the blame off the external beta testers, very specifically. The part of the podcast where you said that if you looked you could find a user with the white screen issue. I just sighed really hard. What is the point of filling out a bug report if the developer isn't going to track it. You needed to be tracking every single bug report that came in t

Nope, and this is like the 9th thread about it...it is just badly worded, they meant that they would do nothing else for a year.

I think this is a great suggestion.

[quote who="BababooeyHTJ" reply="259" id="2765534"]This is an interesting read. http://scarsofwargame.com/DevBlog/ This part really stands out. I check in on Brad’s blog every now and then, let me refer you to a post on the 31st of July : What’s going to be better than Beta 4? What isn’t changing? I think it’s pretty well known I don’t like Beta 4. I’m not a troll. I’m the desig

Yeah, it would be nice...however, until a map gets a large amount of downloads and votes it will be useless due to different tastes.

[quote who="pad152" reply="253" id="2764520"]All of the Beta's where buggy as hell, why did it take Stardock until after the final release to figure this out? [/quote] Um, who cares? Moving on now. That was the point of the thread.

Not only do I have no recollection whatsoever of expanded vs. extended memory, but I got to use more than 8 characters to name my files. Imagine that.

I'm not sure that having multiplayer enabled is going to take away much from anything esle. Since, acording to them they already had it almost ready to go.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="6" id="2763135"]Stardock still did multiplayer code for demigod, so they didn't just publish. Remember which part sucked? Despite months of beta testers telling them it wasn't ready, despite frogboy himself saying that anything less than 95% success rate was unacceptable (paraphrased)? [/quote] Um, no. Stardock fixed the multiplayer after launch, due to it not working.
