1.39 Beta first try.

I finally had some time to play and try to see some of the changes. I ended up simply quitting after I spent more time typing out issues than playing the game.

*Turn 2 city expanded 3 squares after building one hut. - That’s a bit excessive for epic pacing.

*Building time 1 turn even on epic pacing for simple buildings. - Too fast for epic.

*Research did not pop-up until turn 4 with the +1 bonus. - Too slow to kick in.

*Level 2 city 5 squares ZOC in 11 turns. - Too fast.

*Turn 20+ I’m already border buddies with an NPC on a large map on epic pacing. Had to go to war to get past him to discover rest of the map. –Too Fast and annoying.

*Path finding skipped a turn to find a path or didn’t move until manually entered. - broken

*Auto resolved a battle while I had the heal spell. Saw results stopped playing…frustrated.

Still a long road.

After the beta ended, I quit playing the game for a long time, moving on to other games. Recently I downloaded 1.30 and started playing it again. I encountered several problems that had been seen in the original beta, including the "rescue the knight/damsel" quest being impossible to complete and goodie huts that were invisible on the cloth map, plus a number of new ones (like not being able to cast the regeneration spell). In my second game I ran into the stagnation bug, so when I saw a description of that on the forums, I upgraded to 1.39. Now I move one unit and the game skips to the next turn even though I have other units with movement available. I sure hope 1.40 makes it playable.
