V1.08 critcal blow to games palyability?

from Stardock Forums

While they did reduce the cost of begining equpment, adding the cost of 1 food to they only way cities make money puts the cost almost back to what it was before before.  Witch doesn't matter becuse the cost to make new citys in has increased X10.  While the gold cost is 50% of it was the matrial cost  has increased to 1000%.  Add ontop that the bug with impulse updating on 64 bit XP and the patch becomes a hugh wast of time.

For Food ... no problem ... THINK !

Of course search for a field where you have at least two food and there you have to redirect your CARAVANS and put all your farmers there and build the food improvements ...

I think I have now in that city +30 food or so ...
Of course it depends on the map, if there is a hex, where you have 2 or more food resources  !

But for me it is good that everything is more expensive, I always hate to have 2000 units, which have no meaning ... I prefer fewer cities and units but quality not quantity ..

So here now problem atm ... turn 300 or so ... but AI seems to have more problems with that !

I totaly agree with FlashXAron. The +1 food cost on the building makers it more important to witch city u grow up. I'm at turn 444 now and my main city produces 24 food and is lvl 5.

I didnt read the changelog and at the start of thi new round since the patch i had some food problems XD but as i noticed the food cost everything ewent fine :)

I believe I have found a bug in the 1.08 patch in which the longbow never hits anything.  I made a soveriegn with the advanced archery tech and even researched it in the tech tree and still it never does any damage.  has anyone else had this problem with the cedar longbow.

Check your armys moral please. When its too low range attacks and spells seem to miss every time. but i#m not sure about this.

Negative on the morale idea--I was pretty far along before the patch and had no problems hitting via spells.  Then after the patch NOTHING in my army could hit with a spell (and yes they had good morale).  On a whim, started a new game, went right in and presto can hit stuff again.  No biggie, just a litte lost time and it seems most saved games in most games are busted by patches anyway.  :D

However, I'm back up to the same spot tech/magic wise (more or less), but now have a different bug with the patch.  When casting Hurricane (minor Air Elemental - summoned critter) the game crashes to desktop everytime.  As soon as my little minnion dude raises his arms...POOF, CTD with no error report.

The game is a blast, I just can't wait until they get all the little bugs worked out.
