[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="50" id="2730768"] Quoting niteshade6, It's the small developer that gets the flying fickly finger of screwing in the review world. The Majors get a golden ticket pass like they were going to the Willy Wonka Factory. [/quote] I have to vehemently disagree on that. I have played ETW, CIV series and a LOT of other AAA games from those studios. There have been stinkers (like Civ4 colonization), but they were far more bug free,

[quote who="Mtn_Man" reply="40" id="2730698"] Quoting Obiwan, reply 39 would you buy half a car? I've never understood why cars are the go-to analogy for video games. [/quote] Well how about half a cuisinart then, the analogy still holds. [e digicons]:D[/e]

[quote who="docbates7" reply="7" id="2730681"]@ VR-Iron - Thanks for clearing that up. I had suspected that was what was going on there. @squeeky - LOL you can equip your guys with things? lordy. No wonder I had to run away and just cast at people. [/quote] Yeah The more I read the posts here, the more I am finding this game is screming for a tutorial or a tutorial handbook. There are soem deep elements that it takes a lot of face/desk contact t

I dont have a save handy but I can confirm I have seen the same thing, with respect to the AI having huge negative value sums in the trade diplo UI. It also doesnt seemt o give you your part of the trade (gildar/items) RAT

I really wouldnt even bother with this manual. It contains nothing about gameplay at all. It is really a waste of electrons/trees. RAT

I think that half of the problem with EoWM is the poor level of documentation about how this game is supposed to work. The manual was little more than a promo booklet. I suspect many of us non-beta players were stumbling through trying to figure out how things work. There are a lot of bugs and that makes it even more frustrating to figure out the game mechanics. For example My hero was getting one shotted in every combat when I first played. Well no wonder they ar

TBH i was expecting FAR more polish in this launch. Things like a lack of intro subtitles (the voiceover is bad), losing hair in hero editor to an overal lpaucity of ANY tutorial and manual that may as well be TP, did not imspire confidence. The game has a LOT of obvious and silly bugs, I havent had any crashes, but the quality is severaly lacking. It seriously feels like an independent's first launch game rather than something that established studio, like Stardock, has made.

A few Bugs with trade and finance There seems to be a bug in the trade UI. On several occassions I have traded resources for gildar. The AI faction got their resources but I have not received my gildar. On two occassions I have seen the AI with a "value" to the negotiations that is in a large negative interger (2+ billion). In general the AI seems to make an ungoldy amount of gildar - even with several huge cities, markets, and caravans I am squeeking by and with
