[1.09p] Lots of inaccurate/useless Empire techs

from Elemental Forums

After upgrading to 1.09p started an empire game just to see how it had changed.  There seem to be a number of techs for which either the description does not match the results (e.g. one of the cooperation techs referred to the ability to build a structure that appears to have moved to one of the other trees), or simply doesn't do anything at all anymore (e.g. the ones that refer to "increasing the essence of" something, even the essence is gone with the new mana scheme).

To be honest, the whole empire tech tree and all the improvements feel a lot less polished than the kingdom tree.

I'd suggest you guys post them up as you see them, so the specifics can be addressed one by one.  Squeaky wheel and all that...

Squeaky Wheel is an unfair statement. It's more like opening the eyes of those who are too busy fixing other problems to see everything.


It's a beta, and even if we paid for the game; we're still getting early access to beta patches for the sole sake of helping to improve this game become what it was meant to be. So make sure to bring up every problem you see, so they know what needs to be fixed.

I don't think my statement is unfair or out of line.  We all understand the developers are busy trying to get simultaneous combat, the new spells, global mana, etc. all working properly. 

My point is that, IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, POST IT UP rather than just complaining about it being broken.  This way, there is a record of the 'issue', which can be added to the 'to do' list for the developers.

Yes, the developers may find all the issues stemming from game changes eventually.  You may be able to save some time by pointing the ones you've noticed now, on the off chance that they've missed it.  Hence the 'squeaky wheel' reference.
