Since I'm in Aus and can never make the live streams, could you possibly discuss the below question. Does the Tyrants, Spell of Making need to take longer to work through the tree to select? AND On the larger maps this may especially be the case. Perhaps a need to research a certain number of other selections in the skill tree increasing in number based on size of map, before it becomes available to select. Thanks

Yep, was being hit by thralls. There was only 1 shard destroyed, player threat was 4 of 5, and SK cities were 0. As stated was prolonging the game more than needed, went back to an earlier save, drained a couple of shards and cast the spell of making. Knowing you can not play endlessly on, I think is a good choice, helps to make the game quicker, knowing you need to strike as quickly as possible or else you will lose through running out of momentun. There is alwa

Excellent, hoping those random maps are in Tuesdays, beta 3 release. May have to go for a large map if they are, and huge maps will definately be getting plays from myself

I would like to think I ran into a stalemate in the game, but truth is I have just lost. A good many turns earlier I was able to select the spell of making as the Tyrant, chose to wait though to play on further. Threat level goes up to 4 of 5, not sure where all the Sorcerer Kings Minions are coming from because have wiped out 95% of camps (I suppose the Sorcerer King does not have to worry about logistics). For a second time I fore go selecting the spell of making from

On battlefield, Heroes with Maul ability when they use it, it is taking effect at the swarm level, so every unit attacks. This may be as intended but I believe just the unit with that ability should be the one continuing to attack.

@geniusisme The overwatch mechanic works really well in a lot of games, but I am unsure how well it would fit in with current combat: 1/ I could see everyone using cheesy tactics and filling their army with mostly archers and mages, and decimating the opposition with overwatch before they got that close. 2/ you would be getting an additional attack in on top of the swarm bonus. PS: I have been meaning to mention heroes with Maul ab

Wow, have read all the posts in this thread and an interesting discussion. Surprisingly I should be agreeing but I find I am not. Over the last 30 odd years I have played a lot of turn-based games everything from Panzar General, Tthe Operational Art of War, SSG's series of games (Korsun Pocket, Battle of Normandy, etc), John Tiller's Civil War and WWII games, and Gary Grigsby's games, most recently his War in the East (which just got another new big beta patch) and very mu

The last three weeks I have close to daily been checking the properties/Beta Tab to see if there was an opt in added. Now Thursday (Friday for me) and will be up and running, will not be able to stop myself starting a new game up, and if the proper beta 2 launch breaks it, well will just have to start another. Very much looking forward to all the new additions, even if still relatively bare boned. Have already been considering how to change my strategies with Bet

I may be missing something. I have opened the gates with the two keys, but I can not target or attack the Sorcerer King. All of his towns are gone, this is on the Mountain Pass tiny map. I am assuming this is a bug.

Hey Devs, Is there any chance of a new tiny map, appearing in November's Beta 2 update? I know, I know, it is only theoretically the next month Dec, that we may have random maps, but still.

This is only Beta 1 though. I personally really like the more RPG (Quest side of it), HOWEVER, remember the minor factions are not in yet. This is where the 4x will start to be noticed by many of you in my opinion, as minor factions can also be lured to the Sorcerer Kings side, and I am presuming they will then come after you as a consequence. I think some are judging (not saying OP is) on current build, rather than reading between the lines of what the game will play like as

Hi Stardock, On the tactical battle map if you move the Hero Varda to the right hand side of an enemy, it will not bring up the crossed swords battle icon and you can not attack with any unit. Had to move Varda over to the left hand side of enemy unit to be able to do so.
