After finally trying city zoom mode for the first time, it looked really useful. Yet, after building something in my city I couldn't return from zoom mode. I thought this would happen automatically after building. Now the only option I could find was save and reload.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="107" id="3065781"]I am pretty sure Frogboy's estimation of the AI in the beta preview said exactly what we are saying about it. There is no delusion about the state of the AI. If id_est doesn't believe the AI will ever be fixed and that is fine. I think he is wrong, but I understand why he is worried. The last game had terrible AI and looked alot like this one. The AI for this one is already better. The next beta phase will have slightly better AI. If you re

Whatever the AI we've got at a certain time, we've got to have a mode where the AI is playing the best it can at that time, without any bonuses. So we have a baseline, and we can hopefull

Mopping up is a tedious thing and every 4x game suffers from it. The AI seems to be building a LOT of cities. Would it be an idea to have the sovereign only escape to cities that have some sort of prerequisite building? I remember in AoW you could only escape to a city with a mage tower and these things were expensive to build. Erecting it in your first city should be a given, since that city is built by the sovereign itself. Makes the game more strategic and city spamming a little le

See 0.76 update thread. Well, increasing experience needed is OK, but the most important thing they should do is splitting experience between the surviving heroes in the battle. I see alot of people are suggiesting it, so hopefully they implement it. Guess it's a

Last time I checked (a few minutes ago), the tooltip for that difficulty states: In any case, I would say that the word "Normal" would seem to indicate that logically, should be the difficulty in which the AI does it's best without cheating (FoW, bonuses...).

It'll be 0.76 which will be a fairly significant update too. Glad to hear it. I'd like to see a change log for 0.76.

I'm not too big of a fan of sliders for everything. It's nice to be able to customize, but there's a danger of overkill here. [quote]There is lots of discussion about how the game should be. Some wants a cleared area to stay clear, some like god-like heroes and so on. I have my own preference of course. In order to cater to as many as possible I think we should be presented by sliders. Below are some suggestions on how this can be done: Sliders Monste

Very well thought out post and good writeup. I agree with basically every suggestion you make here. As for wounded heroes I would go further. I'd rather have them die and according to how powerful the hero is, make it cost a lot of mana to resurrect them.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="65" id="3061843"] Quoting LordTheRon, reply 62I second the idea that heroes should be able to die. That would make you think twice before sending them into a fight. Some form of (expensive) resurrection or reincarnation like Thormodr suggested would be nice, but just let those champions die when they lose a fight. I think that would only lead to loading the save before the battle.[/quote] Not for me at least, but for some people that migh

During battle when I want o cast spells, I would like to be able to see what damage I can do with spells that add extra damage per shard. Now I'm thinking "did I own that fireshard or was it an earthshard again?" It would really help if the spell description would automatically adjust itself to the # of shards I own of the needed type. Or that I would be able to see the shards I own somewhere on screen during tactical battles.

After a long time playing I just had my first crash trying to reconquer a city. Attack was succesful... and then it crashed. Zip-file is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17682980/FallenEnchantress0_75-2012-01-21T16-25-44-454.zip Debugg.err: http://pastebin.com/YwzNWPVy

I agree, maul in its current state is over the top. Either limiting the amount of attacks to 3 or ladd a negative modifier with each extra attack should fix this.
