[quote who="parrottmath" reply="4" id="3364448"]I'm not sure this is a Stardock problem or if it is a Steam problem. I'm going with the latter, because steam should provide a better UI in deleting and maintaining cloud information (at least a removal feature).[/quote] Makes sense.

[e digicons]k2[/e] I'll be very disappointed if this game does not utilise the Steam Workshop.
Crusade does not work for Henchmen, other than that: Henchmen. Rule. That is all.
You can access much of this info via the Govern tab, then selecting Faction Relations. This will show you the state of your relations, any wars the are engaged in, the number of cities each opponent has, total population, as well as their research and military ratings, and resources.
It's Memorial Day here in the US, a national holiday, even for game developers. I'd bet they are enjoying some well earned, quality time with friends and family, and that LH is far from their minds.
Make Diplomacy matter. Fix the unit upgrade screen. Separate magical and non magical weapons and armor on the unit design screen. A means for deleting custom factions, sovereigns and units, permanently. Female henchmen. Better AI. Steam Workshop.
Turning off Steam Cloud, for a game that advertises Steam Cloud saves as a feature, cannot be working as planned. much less designed. I wonder if it will ever be fixed. There is a way to delete files from the Steam Cloud, but it's a PITA. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2470784 Seriously Stardock, give us a way to fully utilise the fe
Beyond simple trading of basic resources, and the bonuses from tech and trade treaties, there really is no Diplomacy in LH currently. Factions of your own alignment will tend to be friendly, as long as you don't build the Tower or get too close to them, or accept one of their countless offers of tribute, and factions of opposite alignment may be friendly early in the game when your borders are distant, but will eventually turn hostile, the quicker if you're weaker.
Nearly 1700 already today, and it's early here in the US, with 17 pages of discussion so far on the Steam LH forum. Guess I'll join 'em.
I don't know what part, if any, difficulty levels play in this, my observations are all from Normal/Challenging modes. I only play with custom AIs, and watched the beginnings of a lot games with the map revealed during beta. They always eventually settle, but I have seen them take several turns to finally pick a spot. Sometimes they will just sit for a turn or two, I guess chugging down a last shot of courage or something. Other times they'll beeline a goodie hut befor
Under the Govern tab, choose Enchantments. From there, you can dismiss as you like.
AFAIK, and from my own observation, the AI sovereign regains the ability to settle when they have lost their last city. Also, I have seen with my own eyes an AI faction, with no cities due to a critter rampage, use a sole surviving Pioneer to create not a city, but an outpost, before finally settling a spot far away with their sovereign many turns later.

Agreed! The Metaverse was a definite part of what kept me playing GC, though not quite as well done as CivFanatics HoF and competitive play, it was still a nice bonus. Just need some enterprising soul to create a utility similar to the Buffy/HoF mod to weed out the save/reload crew.
Darxim is correct IMO, this is not a bug and I'm pretty sure it was listed in one of the changelogs. Blizzard is fine as is currently, IMO, few enough decent damage spells available.

AFAIK, you can gain levels as long as you have a trait to pick. I've gotten several characters close to level 40, with traits still left unchosen, so assume it's higher than that.
[quote who="jutetrea" reply="19" id="3362916"]but without any pre-made units they just didn't work out [/quote] Create custom units for your custom AI factions the easy way, though a Workshop tool would be nice too. Create your custom AI faction and Sov. Start up a new game with them. Use the Complete Research cheat, then create and save your designed troops. Exit your game, and your custom AI faction now has units designed to fit their strengths,
If you name the units the same as another previously created race's units, they will have that race's traits. You can actually create a custom faction with units from each race by abusing this.
In the next patch, units will be able to move through friendly units. Until then, it is what it is.

Check "Faction Relations" from your Govern screen.
You can hover over the saved game in your Load menu, the tooltip should show the factions present when the game was generated.
