It routinely leaves individual units within an army stack with 0 hit points, but the unit does not disappear from the stack. During battle afterwards, the units are present with 0 hit points and fight until they take any damage. On world map: In battle:
[quote who="rowanlad" reply="94" id="3089454"]I think I made it pretty clear that stealing is still stealing. No matter the justification or personal ethics of the thief, its still theft. I also agreed this is not life and death stuff we are talking about. There is no lethal game withdrawal if a poor person stops playing and so technically he doesn't need it. They certainly don't deserve 'a free pass', although their societies almost hand it to them on a silver platter. <

This has been around for all of the beta. If a resource is touching the physical edge of a city and I build that resource it goes into the city's production queue. However if a resource is within my city's area of influence but NOT touching the actual edge of the city it does not go into the production queue when built. It's inconsistent and makes no sense. I'm not sure if its a bug, something that is being ignored until the city development se
So here's two semi-related questions: Mana comes from a Sovereign with access to shards, correct? So how do heroes that have yet to sign up to follow a particular Sovereign have any mana? I'm curious, since it's counter to the lore. How is each unaffiliated hero's mana calculated? I fought a level 3 guy at his camp and he cast burning hands 7 times in a row. Do they have unlimited mana or is it just a fairly large amount?
There are still caravans. They're automatically created whenever you complete a trade treaty. I believe they are still able to be attacked as well, though I haven't done it yet.

I would like to clear up a few misunderstandings here: 1)Sins of a Dark Age is not a browser-based game. 2)Ironclad and Stardock have a great working relationship. The IP is Ironclad owned, but Stardock has done a tremendous job with the franchise and we a
Looking good. Especially love the attention you guys are paying to the UI. Now can I have a nifty interface to coordinate the movement of all my armies so that they arrive at a particular tile on the same turn??? [e digicons]O:)[/e]
[quote who="Burress" reply="48" id="3088622"] Here is what I am saying, all of the piracy in the history of the internet has most likely had a huge positive net effect on the world. I won't make the case for all the small examples where an individual's gain has far exceeded the creator's loss (if they had one). But take for instance the biggest black hole of media piracy, China. What are they taking in? They are receiving a western sense of entitlement to human rights,

[quote who="seanw3" reply="168" id="3088000"]You could argue that a high initiative would mean more movement, which would spread the poison faster. When I allegedly poison someone, I try to get them riled up right afterwards. [/quote] What if it's a non-lethal poison to knock them out?
[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="33" id="3088296"]Haha, funny arguments. One guy already equals breaking the law with being amoral. I guess you got no clue about morals then. Sorry buddy but law DOES NOT EQUAL morals. Both laws and morals depend on society and culture and no way you can ever make them equal. Another talks about I have no clue what. I didn't take anything from anyone. At best I reduced possible profits, but as I already said I cannot afford that
[quote who="seanw3" reply="32" id="3088294"]Information is a commodity. It is not free anywhere. I get a good education because my nation pays out the ass for it. Education is information. Cultural media is information just the same. Specifically in the case of video games, it's hard to justify that you have some sort of right to them because they make you more intelligent. The same learning factor could be gained from books, which are not as expensive. But you aren't stealing books.
I'm willing to wait for playthroughs against real AI before forming an opinion about the solution, but any TBS game should absolutely contain potential scarcity causing wars fought over resources. Resources and religion have been the cause of nearly every war in history.

That the people who produce it should do so for free because your desire to enjoy something trumps their right to earn value for their work. It's not just enjoyment though.

Is taking something from others making everyone a thief by law in all cases? Did bankers get prosecuted for being thieves and causing the crisis all around the world? Did G.W.

[quote who="Burress" reply="18" id="3088220"] Quoting TorinReborn, reply 16 In my country games are more expensive then in USA and our life standard is 2-3x less then US. So why is that fair? Do USA companies really think this is fair and not highway robbery? This is a good reason why software piracy is a complicated issue. It is very difficult to make the case that people should forego culture (movies, music, books, games) because they are too poor to afford it. Th

If you're starting position is bereft of heroes, maybe your kingdom's strategy should be one that isn't dependent on heroes? Just a thought. It's a strategy game ffs. You're supposed to have to adapt your thinking based on what's going on in the game. That means the game is working. Also why a hero limit? And why 4? Why not 3, 2, 7, 12? If your strategy IS to have a hero dominated military how ridiculously
[quote who="OneLion" reply="20" id="3081823"]Well thanks for information but I'm still a friend of agile iterative development with frequent releases. If some people deduce from a beta that the game is broken it's their fault and you can always proof them wrong with a next release. One of the main problems (imo) with infrequent releases is that if there is a change in their that gets bad feedback it is much harder to remove/undo it since from the introduction of the bug/fea
