That still keeps it in a relationship to Pop growth, it just may not be your City that grows, if folks
I am not 100% sure but I have seen the prices of hiring increase in seemingly direct relation to my SoV level gains. I had one Hero in my area and noted the cost to hire. I hired another, then fought and leveled and found the other one again. Cost was up 5X from our first meeting. The only change I had made or seen was my Level. I will test again but current Hiring costs quickly get ridiculously high, ridiculously
[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="6" id="2661619"]I thought that whats prestige for?! Positive prestige = people are happy = city grows Negative prestige = people hate the city = people look for greener pastures.

What is lost? Surely, each Turn would Raze some portion, 1/3 of the City. Currently a City is one (1) unit. It would require that mechanic to be changed to facilitate the Muti-Turn Razing. Doable? Doubtful at his point. One idea could be that to Raze a City requires the enemy t

This delicate balance which slightly favors non-attack is one of the things which
[quote who="DrGuppie" reply="1" id="2661725"]I'd also like a way to see the list of quests that are active and those that are complete. To keep with the book theme they have going on (and maybe I missed it), there could be a Table of Contents page.[/quote] There is already. Click on the NEXT PAGE icon, lower right corner, of each page. Each Quest has its own page in the Book.

I guess we could use the Dynasty system and have the ability to create Married couples from the Recruited NPC Pool. Currently I recruit a female NPC, and some of them come with the Marriage (Ring) icon/property. Why not extend that out to the recruited NPC's, thus expanding the Dynasty game play mechanism greatly.

It is hoped that the Adjacency rule will be somewhat implemented in 2B. That way we can better access what fits best where and how best fit ideas like yours into the Cities we will build. P.S. So that Painter dude does strictly Exterior work then? [e digicons]:-"[/e]
Pioneers can harvest food related resources with no distance restriction. You do however take a 50% production hit until your City gets in range. Shards can be captured as well from a distance, but you do not get credit for them until the city is in range. (3-4 tiles I believe) Many resources require a Town to capture (Oasis, Scenic View being 2 I remember) and the game usually tells you that if you click the

I have had this happen as well. It appears that the end of the Turn, the one that the Hero dies, doesn't actually End until the Leveling up action is completed. It should be considered a BUG and fixed but am unsure exactly how that mechanic works at this time. It does SUCK , at least the first couple of times, to think your whole crowd
Might be in one of the "disabled" tech trees perhaps. I don't remember right off which one it was in.
[quote who="tejondour" reply="16" id="2660677"] So I'm curious: there's a real-time component to Elemental with the simultaneous turns, and it handles fluid movement within a tile.
