[quote who="cwg009" reply="11" id="2727328"]Are people really running out of space due to the 50 tile limit? I haven't run into this problem yet and my capital was getting pretty big last night. Any way, if it's really an issue, seems like the easiest solution would be just to raise the limit to 60 tiles or something? Might even be somthing that you can easily mod yourself in xml file.[/quote] Maybe they are building every building regardless of whether or not the appro

I enjoy my time with it despite the hiccups I've encountered. Quick rundown of my experience which is about 6 hours or so on a large random map before any patching was done. By the time I get home there will likely already be two patches available fixing issues. The good: Game looks good, very distinct art style imo All the parts for an epic 4x game are here, city building, research, and of course the tactical battles. It's all fairly deep and en

[quote quoting="post"] I've been concerned about this for months. In fact, it caused me to sit out the beta and delay my preorder until last week. And after playing for most of yesterday evening and getting deep into one sandbox game, I realized I was right to be concerned. The game lacks an epic feel. Most of the game feels like me and a small adventuring party running around conquering other empires. (How 4-6 guys could take over an entire empire is beyond

[quote who="SwerydAss" reply="13" id="2727159"] The adventuring tree uncovers those resources, they're really easy to spot using the cloth map instead of the 3d one as well. It would be nice to have a pop-up that said "Due to your research new resources have been discovered in your realm".

I recommend watching them as they're the only resource I've seen that sort of covers some basics (they skip over just about everything but if you watch closely you might get some ideas). Until recently farms were built like any other buildings, so it wasn't as mysterious! What's even more sexy is you'll probably play 3-4x before you realize new res

From my understanding, children who reach adults can become playable characters. Or are they merely there for marriage purposes? Also, there is a small bug where children do not age at the same rate at adults. I understand this is probably intended, but I found it odd t

Resource buildings do not use up any of the building slots... but only as long as they are not next to one of your other city buildings. As soon as you build any standard city building like a house next to a resource building, it is added to the city itself and takes up 4 building slots for no additional benefit. Actuall
