1.19g issue here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119g/58.EleSav Season 58 of 1.19g game. I normally play Kingdom but this time I played Empire. Anyway, I just took over one of Pariden's settlements (renamed it to Filler3) and I cannot build a single caravan from it despite having the tech. I've haven't experienced a caravan limit problem like this as Kingdom in many patches. I theorize
Another 1.19g DX error: Debug: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119g/debug_119gdx2.err No dump Occurred zooming in and out and appears to occur on transition from 3d map to cloth map and vice versa
My thoughts: Still experiencing DX error CTD's Still experiencing random CTD's Some factions of the strategic AI is still pop locking at 5 and the 1.19g analysis was worse than prior builds (had 2 factions pop locked instead of 1 or 0 factions) Repeat reloading of the game within the same instance of Elemental definitively crashes the game via OOM. The 1.19g test crashed the game on load 4 where prior tests crashed within 13 loads or so.
I think Brad mentioned 1.2 is set for release next week due to marketing reasons. Grabbing the popcorn!

Brad - problems with a couple of factions in 1.19g. Season 60 save here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119g/119g_AITEST_60.EleSav Capitar at 1 city with FP of 5 - pop locked, nothing in queues, etc. Pariden at 1 city with FP 7 - pop locked, nothing in queues, etc. Gilden is at 1 city with FP of 13 - looks like they're doing ok.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="26" id="2906803"]I take it you have never played fall from heaven. There are a lot of competitive multiplayer games out there. Balance needs to be reflected in every part of their design. We don't have that restriction, so let's have some fun with it. I'd much rather you tell a story about that awesome champion you had in one game because you got great traits and then loaded him up with so,e cool magical items you were lucky to find then have you n

Brad - please consider requiring multiple turns to cast the Spell of Making and when it is initiated, all players gang up on the player casting the spell. It is after all a spell to win the game so all other matters are trivial. I envision temporary cease fires with right of passage for armies. That should make for an interesting end-game when all enemy factions converge on the poor sap casting the spell. Just an idea. Also - I like the idea of right of passage. This should make AI pa

It does't make sense that I'm going to this store to buy uber equipment. I'm the damned King. Where did they get it from? I had to research it now they're selling it to me? Doesn't make sense. Items should be something you create with metal / magic crystals. Equipment for heroes should suffer the same restrictions as equipm

I think a cross-tree dependency might work wonders, i.e. a player can't rush all armor techs without requirements in other trees. Just an opinion. @Sethai - great write up. As someone who's been tinkering with the game since Sep '10 I agree how it flips a complete 180 degrees once you get it nailed down... kind of like Algebra. [Edit] For example, one could rush magic tree and get magical armor and weapons without researching normal armor and swords. Intuitively this makes no

I've been wondering this for awhile. Is this by design and if so, why? If not, eta on fix? Thanks.
Tech research the first two levels of Warfare (Kingdom) or Conquest (Empire). Grab the equipment first (gives padded armor and spears) then go to leather armor. Then focus on other tech trees if you desire. Get arcane weapon first for spell research. When you need it, cast it on a unit. After battle is done, dispel it. The combination of rushing the first level of armor and buffing units with arcane weapon goes a LONG way in the early-game.
