Can we perhaps tone down the Forum identity visual perhaps. A text based entry under my Forum ID would be sweet. A friggin skull and cross bones, minus the skull, might be a bit much right?
Thanks to all. We look to have a great MP Test base. For the "comedians" who have obvious reading issues, we should still have a solid MP test base. all i can say is... twitch twitch [e digicons];P[/e] [e digicons]:S[/e] [e digicons]o_O[/e]

It has two rivers leaving it both of which go to the sea and on opposite sides of the continent. Water flows down hill and takes the first available opening so which ever river exit was lower would take precedent except maybe in times of heavy rains when the lake rises enough to poor into the 2nd river. <b

It may be possible if the WHOLE City based protection Techs (hedges/Wooden & Stone Walls) etc were set to be "Global" and not just in the Warfare Tree. Otherwise I can not see the "Defensible" Civic, Adventure or Magic only based society/Cities seamW3 mentions.
And I am undecided at this point about how exactly I feel about the "randomness" of the Tech tree setup. Your point about a "hybrid" seems almost built in, simply because any small change, or a slight variation in tech picks can alter things a lot. Good or Bad? Testing may resolve but I am leaning towards it being preferred as it certainly will help keep the "must have" builds at bay for as long as possible in any
[quote]" it's just that some path are less useful than others"[/quote] I believe I understand the idea here, but, why would someone, who desires to "win" ever take the "less useful" path regardless of circumstance? The proper premise to be used is if there is 5 choices available, and 5 different players all select a different one, each selection will be as useful to th

Yes. The most basic ones are like that, and for obvious reasons I assume. Not to say your thought is not, maybe, doable, once we get into the true SP generators.... Well, we could just check within the current build I guess. ;)
[quote]"in order to force the player to used various path"[/quote] A direct NO-NO in any game design. Provide options. Never "FORCE" a player to have to do anything they don't want to. I thought we were attempting to prevent "required" things from happening?
[quote]"all it requires is 3-5 magic techs and a few buildings."[/quote] I have not played a game in a week but I am pretty sure that Buildings (of all types) cost both Food and or Materials to construct. I believe, also, that some of the Arcane Buildings require a Town or larger city to even build. How will you get around those issue without any Civ tech or movi

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="62" id="2637136"]The problem was just that ... with essence being your mana cap, and with only 15 essence which AUTOMATICALLY drops by 5 for your first city, and spells costing anywhere from 1 to 10 mana ... basically means that in order to cast that high level 10 mana spell (which requires a shard) ASSUMING you stay at level one, means that you need to found your first city near a shard of that type, not found ANY other cities (until the revived land spreads more)
Make it only available in 2v2 and up games that contain even amounts of AI per side. In a 4v4 for example, each team having 2 AI players. Team 1 would have the Human players in Slots 1 & 3, the AI player in slots 2 & 4. The Human player in slot #1 would run all TB's for the AI player in slot #2, while Human Player #2, in slot 3, would run the TB's for AI player in slot #4. <span style
One thing to keep in mind is that currently we cannot lose what we take on the Map. With Beta 2, and the introduction of visual battles, I assume that will change so your power base can\will become way more fluid. For example. I now can go out and hold all the Shards, even if I don't get credit for them right away. But I know my Magic research will be useable, and as such I build SP buildings to build up my SP bank
