I would have a hard time saying the game is "good", but I have had a lot of fun playing it. It's kind of a contradiction, but as much as I am having fun with it, I couldn't recommend it to anyone yet. Needs fixes and polishing.
I think resources should cluster more. Meaning instead of having a clay pit way over there and a wild horses way over there, make them more close together. So there would be the same amount of resources, but you wouldn't need to make so many cities to claim them all. Less city spam the. Also, When a city reaches a new level, they no longer need the houses that brought them to that level, so you can tear them down, maintain the same city level, an
Some times when I get mad and post my frustrations at the game, it's becasue I see how increadible the game can be but it's tripping on little dumb mistakes, little details. A few fixes here and there, and the game would be really good.
I think I would hate it if I was able to get every resource easy in the game. Like if Iron and Crystals and mounts were never difficult to get a lot of. Right now, their scarcity makes certain areas and cities special. right now me and the Ai have only one city between us that produces crystals and his cheating ass is sending wave after wave of trolls at me. 900 hp stacks of fucking doom against my magic item archers of death and super princes. Fun times. P
I dont think it would take that much to make the game really good. Some AI tweaks, UI changes, fix bugs and balance some things out and it would be a really good game. Sure, I have a thread where I am posting all my frustrations with the game, but it comes from loving it and already putting more than a hundred hours into it. The equipment and clothing clipping Brad, please tell me thats on the to do list to fix, it drives me crazy.
I would like it if instead of a nation disappearing when a sovereign died, the nation would go into chaos and there would be a battle for the crown between heirs, like in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I think Sovs should die of old age too. This would make the game dynamic. In fact, if you added random events like what GalCiv had, rebellions, battles for the throne, and all that goodness, the game could last forever! Maybe large nations break up into smaller ones
At war. Magnar attacked me with a ton of Sions. 4 groups of 9 stacks. I am thinking, wow, thats an expensive army. I can't compete well with that, so I go into diplomacy to make peace and notice that they are -17,000 gold in debt. Uhh...What? Well, I use diplomatic resources to make peace. And 2 turns later, he just declares war again. So lame, whats the purpose of diplomacy if they just keep declaring war? Oh well, with the Magnar cheatin
I had one wife of a kid that never lost mana. It was infinite.
I had a grandkid with 7 mov and I thought that was a ton, I can imagine what one with 15 would be like, haha.
Anyone understand why the Fallen races have strange Peasants? They have 8 hp and only 1 attack speed. um...why? And you can upgrade them with better equipment, although their choices are limited I think, or maybe it was because I first noticed this playing Kingdom Wraiths. And they don't look like Wraiths at all. Another lazy part on the Devs...At first, when I heard about the layoffs at Stardock, I felt bad for them, but now I just hope Brad laid off people that
That seems expensive, but I guess you could do it.
Works pretty well for me. Haveto use a few of them usually. Actually, don't think I have ever gotten any use out of cast any of these spells just once, its usually a big effort. But, shit, making and destroying mountains or creating land bridges should be. Have to make things level to make it work, takes some practice and multiple casting.

I have noticed this, it's crazy.
No shit? Well God damn! I need to actually start reading these spell discriptions. I'm going to have soooo much fun with that.
The Earth spells, raise land, lower land and Greater raise land can be used to turn water into land, so you can make land bridges, you can create mountains or make paths through mountains. I use it all the time. I created a land bridge to take an army to the north of an enemy and then used it to raise and lower mountains to create choke points. You can only use the spells in neutral or your own territory, you cant cast it in another's territory. I don't think you can u
Some races apparently dont get access to all the equipment that is listed when they gain a technology. No Master armor leggings? Only Heavy master leggings? Only some races get Scale mail? There is a second sword listed with Claymore, but the race I was using didnt get it...
I was making a Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) joke. Old NES RPG.
I created a new nation, Empire, Race "Men". They were not able to use the Sion temples they built. There are so many things in this game that were overlooked before release that should have been noticed before it was released. I get attacked by magnar armies wearing human armor that doesn't fit them and their chest are clipping out of it, looks terrible. Nobody notice this before release? Really?

My games get well over 700 turns and about that time is when I start to crash every ten turns or so. Pain in the ass.
The bettles are fine, they can get massive later on. Like I said earlier, I had a battle at the end of the last game I played that had my Sov, that same dragon, and about 100 soldiers against an army of about the same size. I should have taken a screen shot or something, I might still have a save game from it.

They seem to if I autobattle, strange things seem to happen in those autobattles...

If you have the resources to make an archer stack with a longbow, okay armor and some magic attack raising items, it's Bill Paxton in Predators, "Game over man, game over!"

Also, I want to say, that I want there to be powerful monsters hovering at the edge of civilizations, keeping the wilds of the world...wild. Keeps the city spam down and the feel of the game more adventurous for me.

If you are a kingdom, you should be able to produce a 4 stack unit of maces that have 24 attack and 20 hp, with even more defence. I think you can do leather and have 12 or so. Can beat down those mobs.
It should be something like in Crusader Kings and some other paradox game, in that game you could only easily declare war on infidels, Muslims, Pagans, and such. But to declare war on a fellow Christian, you had to have some reason, like a claim to their title or they did something bad to you.
