rehash (in case this thread has fallen into the recesses of time) As 1.4 as been declared "Diplomacy Update", here are some thoughts as to the UI of the diplomacy screen.

- Currently, when a player has the Binding ability, when a shard is captured it will show the number of turns until it spawns its next elemental. However, when that shard is part of a city, it loses this UI information. Can there be some way of selecting buildings and structures within a city, and show the relevant information so that we may know those important details....like how many turns until the next Binding spawn. - Merc Camps I think also have this same problem. <p

It's been awhile, but just to recap; I've been playing many games since the last update and have really found the changes introduced to be an improvement in balance of crystal and iron ore. Rehashed in the hopes the SD will look at the balance recommendations and possibly make the changes into the base game for all to enjoy.

I see this thread idea didn't really jump start the way I thought it would. In any case, since I saw Brad post interest in the DLC thread....here are the spell ideas again...in case they have faded to the faint recesses of time.

Now that the AI has been improved in 1.3, has there been any thought to improving the XP gained from defeating these adversaries now? As is, avoiding fights with the AI is the surest way to win the game easily. Being rewarded for defeating AI, or at least stong groups led by heroes or the sovereign, would go a long way into wanting to engage the AI in combat and wars.

[quote who="N1ghthavvk" reply="25" id="3383360"]The wildlands are all wildly different in nature. Some are just lootboxes where you can send your sovereign alone in the early game and loot epic stuff. (Namtur's Caverns, Scrap Yard) or win against with a micro force (Deorcnysse which really is just a city to produce stuff), or endgame battles with epic rewards (Vetrar, Abeix, Morian, Pyre of Man, Torax) and some stuff that doesn't fit those categories (the stormdragonlair with some alt

I love the idea. Does seem a little imbalanced though. A game can run for 800 turns and you have 5 movement speed at turn 201. Without yet testing it of course, would it not work to have 101, 201, 301, 401, and 501 ??

These are two very interesting concepts. Unfortunately I do not know the answer to either. - 'Free' roads would have to somehow be tied into your kingdom's ZoC. Don't think that can be done at the moment. - Building outposts within a certain distance should be possible with modding. It's possible to have cities not be able to build within a certain distance...the more I think about this idea, the more I like it. It could very well be the most imp

This is a 'feature'. I hope that SD tweaks how this is done and tracks city defender units across the coarse of a turn. If the unit dies, then it's dead for the remainder of the turn. If the unit is wounded, hits points are tracked from battle to battle. At the beginning of the next turn, if the city is not under siege ( aka...opponent faction units are not adjacent to the city) than the defender units reset to their initial troops. As is, it's very frustrating to know
