[quote who="MechaGodzill" reply="127" id="3403047"] I've read many posts which say that the 1.4 update is going to be a patch that improves diplomacy; but I don't see anything related to diplomacy in the patch notes. Are there any "under the hood" improvements to diplomacy? Thanks in advance [/quote] Nah, they said UI for this patch.
Really makes me happy to see that you've turned things around. Truthfully, those "sucky" years were kinda obvious. It's just as obvious that you're back in the game and have turned things around. LH is amazing and I'm hearing good things about Dead Man's Draw. Now can you officially announce GalCiv 3? Thanks.
I'm a little disappointed to see very little/no UI updates/improvements. Am I reading the changelog wrong? I mean, 1.4 was supposed to be the UI patch... I don't mean to look to gift horse in the mouth...but?..
[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="9" id="3402323"] Quoting Derek Paxton, reply 6 Sorry guys, it isn't ready for public beta yet. But we are working hard on it and it should be released soonish... As a personal note it is awesome that you guys are out here reading change logs and looking forward to the next patch. I read some other game forums where no matter what the dev does the community is bitter. You guys are amazing and it definitly keeps u
double post, my bad
This is looking really good, but I'm not really seeing "UI" updates in this patch... Change of plans?
Sorry, dude, but 1.4 is not in beta yet. You can tell at the top of the changelog. It will tell you when (and how) to opt in to the beta, when it becomes available.

Really, really glad you decided to start Stardock, good sir. You've made some of my favorite games of all time! Congrats to you and your excellent employees for making it 20 years! NOW GIVE US SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS! Galactic Civilizations 3 sounds like a good start ;) [e digicons]}:)[/e]
Hire Parrotmath from afar. You practically have to. And I like the idea of formations. Do eeet!
I'm thinking you need to make LH's graphics like your "internal mod"... If that's really what it is...
Noticed the very obvious GalCiv3 artwork was removed...
Remove my ability to see what enemy cities are building....PLEASE!
How about announcing some of those unannounced games? ;) Huge fan, Brad. I'm just in awe of you, your company, and the games you guys and gals make. Congrats!
Awesome Breaking Bad reference! ^ Even better news that some of this will happen!
Froggy, we know that you have GC3 in there! GIVE IT UP! Seriously,though, why not just announce it and give us what you've got? I will pay you for pre-Alpha access. I need a good sci-fi 4X, after all the disappointments...and I'm certain now with the lessons you've learned from the iterations of Elemental that GC3 will be fantastic. GIVE IT TO US.
I HATE THAT I CAN SEE WHAT ENEMY CITIES ARE BUILDING. That's definitely a unique UI issue. TAKE IT AWAY! Or at least give me the option to hide it!
What are the chances that any of this gets added, Frog? Especially new mounts and new classes?
Yep, what he^ said. I HAVE MY WALLET OPEN AND SET TO "PAY". Just give me reasons to, please.
^ Agreed. Frog, do you have any hints on future DLCs?
New classes, too. I'd pay $5 for a new class or two! Make the ranger one official! And give me a necromancer class that's fully fleshed out! Or give me a druid-type character that can shapeshift. Oh, yeah, that's it! GIVE ME SHAPESHIFTERS! DRUID SHAPESHIFTERS! ;)
That's my frustration: that some of the STUPID things that have always been there since EWOM are STILL THERE. Like what I've originally posted about.
I take these pictures as proof that there are still significant AI flaws. Hire someone else if you have to. I know you've posted recently about how tough the AI is to write, but these kind of problems have been in nearly every build of Elemental. They NEED to be fixed to make this game better.
This game is so good, it just bothers the shit out of me to see the AI still do dumb stuff, like send their sovereigns out without armies, or when the monsters DO NOT ATTACK OTHER AI PLAYERS. Please fix this. Please, I beg of you. This game is a few AI upgrades from legendary and I want to see it get there. Please, fix this kind of shit.

What kind of things do you guys have in store for us, anyway? Also, when will the slippers be removed as a drop? I'm eager to support you.
First off, I'd like to say that after Derek follows through with his promise to remove the bunny slippers as a random drop and make them sovereign-selection only, I WILL BUY THE LOOT DLC. In the future, please make the gag items optional. Second, here are some ideas for DLC that I would purchase in a heartbeat: 1) More Mounts - I love Bonesplitter and if you made a mounts DLC, i.e. panthers, black fire horses, pegasi (plural pegasus?), lizards, rhinos, whatever, I&
