I think a simple point is who are we to say how other people play the game. Reload, never reload, these are personal preferences. "I think I'm a better player because I never reload". Who are you comparing yourself to? Why? The game isn't about being competitive against other people you will never meet or play against (it's a single player game remember), it's about having fun.

I've found in many of my games (allowing for the currently minimal AI) that with many of the tactical spells, whoever casts first gets a huge advantage. Late game it turns into beat-with-a-bigger-stick, and this is one reason why fodder units are so useless at times (fireball + a few fire shards = armageddon for any army) So here's an idea for a mechanic: When a mage casts a tactical spell on the other army, there is a chance that a mage in

I would like to see: Garrisons (you can put units in as garrisons like you can in cities) Defence upgrades (fairly expensive so they are not just automatic, but things like extra guardians and fort-like upgrades would be nice). Its currently really annoying if a minor archer or something sneaks in and takes out a resource outpost that could easily be defended. Make them captureable. Upgrade to city won

Not doing well, my second crash in about half an hour. This one seemed to happen on end turn (though I may be hallucinating and could have been mid turn) http://pastebin.com/fVx382qx http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6617098/FallenEnchantress0_76-2012-01-27T21-49-18-70.zip

Had just died (talking of which, not sure it is particularly fair to spawn next to a strong darkling camp with other baddies blocking any escape). Went through the end game screens back to the main menu and it CTDed when I hit new game. http://pastebin.com/uEd5qfr5 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6617098/FallenEnchan

In other words, stop complaining about something that isn't finished yet. To be honest I wasn't expecting any AI at all for beta 1, they've put in the basic scripts for now. As Brad says, wait until the AI is more complete (ie beta 2) before making aggressive THE AI IS RUBBISH comments.

Clicked end turn and kaboom. I suspect this is probably a known bug (given the number of crash logs over the past week), but I'll post it just in case. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6617098/FallenEnchantress0_75-2012-01-26T12-17-05-692.zip http://pastebin.com/0wRyBXn5

This is a very minor thing I spotted last night. I was at war with Procipinee early on, and captured one of her towns. It was in the process of building an iron mine. Thing is, she had researched the mining tech already whereas I hadn't. But after I'd captured the town the mine carried on building and was built fine. So I had a working iron mine before I had the tech to build them. Sure if I capture a town with extra goodies I haven

I had a band of heroes trashing all that came before them. Altar was dying by my sword and magic. But unknown to me, my territory at home was expanding towards a rather grumpy umberdroth, which proceeded to tear apart my defences and raze my second city. My heroes could have taken it down but were too far away. Meanwhile I had a spelled up army but my mana levels were low and I feared being overwhelmed by Altar's larger armies and...oops. I w

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="1" id="3058812"]That was fast! [/quote] None of them are big changes, they are mostly easily fixable bugs picked up in the first testing (and probably some in house). Still, it's an impressively quick job.

I have an internet connection that is somewhat bandwidth limited. I can download the beta but given my bandwidth is on a monthly deal I can't keep downloading 2 gigs. Plus my flatmate would somewhat kill me if I did since we share the connection. So my question is this - how often will the game be updated? Also will the updates require a complete reinstall or will they be a few hundred megs patches? I can probably only do one big download a m
