Elemental ForumsI'm glad the starts are different. For you ppl that always want a good start, and not the need to find the best spot possible the first turns, just recreate the world.

[quote who="HighQ" reply="3" id="3089729"]I also think about a future multplayer. This makes unit rushing possible. Killing an enemy in the first turns of the game. It also keeps peacefull races weak i think. Maybe a city buildin melitia? Numbers based on the city size? Only active when there is no active unit to defend the city? Or maybe to choose for the cost of a city lvl? [/quote] Well, rushing tactics should come at the cost of bec

Please no! We need hard choices, and one is deciding whether to build a building or a unit.

I have the following vision (for an expansion pack obviously): - You can build harbors and shipyards if cities are located near beaches, as in WOM - You have transports and warships, and an own unit designer for ships as well. Techs that gives new equipment for ships etc must be implemented in the tech three. Alternatively new tech could make new pre-made ship models available. Different kinds for kingdoms and empires. - Transports can transport an army, but are

Ditto! No doubt about[quote who="slik" reply="23" id="3071684"]I was thinking that the techs opening up new quests and higher level heroes should be divided. Quest levels spaced out in the tree, with the higher level quests (with all that awesome loot and experience) burried deep in the Magic tech tree. Really deep. Heroes would still level way too fast though. My vote is for divided xp. [/quote] Ditto! No doubt about that. Splitted xp

Nah. We just need to split experience between the heroes in an army, take it from there, and we are OK!

Is experience split between the heroes in the army now, or do you still earn 4 times more experience from a battle if you use 4 instead of one hero? Didn't have time to test new patch yesterday..... ;)

The reload/save issue is completely up to the player. We shouldn't make the game unbalanced or non-challenging because some people cheat. But of course; The AI has to be able to deal with it too (or cheat for less impact of the maluses). As the poster above me mentioned, the way it works now is too exploitable.

This is such a super idea. Solves alot of problems, and makes for more interesting city building and hard choices. I support both tile limitation and upgrades for buildings.

Taking over a city should be a big deal. I like the garnisons they implemented, but they should make it even stronger. I'd like a siege system as well. It should take some turns before you can attack, based on the type of walls the city has, and what kind of siege engines your army has. No siege units at all vs high walls should mean having to starve the city down. That should take a looooooong time.

[quote who="Takeitsy" reply="4" id="3064346"]I agree with the easy experience issue, furthermore when the game counts individually the damage. I guess it wouldn´t be difficult to fix this.[/quote] The heroes you use in a battle should share the amount of experience the battle gives, the experience points should also be determined by the strength of the combined enemy army. So, if the wolf pack gives lets say 6 experience points to defeat, using one hero means he g
