For my Empire of Magnar, Mapping opened up a Gold Mine that was next to my capitol, and Destiny's Scrolls opened up a Gold Mine next to my second city.
I'm playing my first Empire game, and I see you are missing some Domination techs. This branch of the Domination Tree opens up various buildings that can be built. The Old Order (Likely): This breakthru represents a significant effort on behalf of our scouts. We will map out more of the world and find superior notable locations which can provide great items. Unfortunately, it also awakens more dangerous creatures. Unlocks: <str
[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="81" id="2745804"]Yes, all 3 AoW games will be available on Steam soon.[/quote] Please, please, please release the series not just on Steam, but also on Impulse or GamersGate. I hate the Steam software :( I had it installed once a long time ago and it messed up my computer. I have Age of Wonders (the original) from way back, and would like to check out AoW:SM, but if it's only on Steam, I won't be getting it.
These are from 1.05, as I was in the middle of a game I didn't want to stop playing when 1.06 came out, so if any of these were addressed in 1.06, disregard them. I've noted bugs where I have screenshots, if needed, but since they are large, I didn't post them. I can send them if needed. * Resources at 0 in a Settlement Detail window don't show. For example, a resource with a +1 and a -1 won't show. This means you can't see the bonuses and consumption. * City name gets changed to

[quote who="Khardis" reply="30" id="2744851"]A quick question. I sometimes have a large city going. Some resources with the city's influence says it's linked with the city, some don't. (Meaning that the LL that is linked has 12 or so tech points, while the one that isn't has the normal 5. Is it because there's no city square within 4 of it? If not, how does that work?[/quote] This was supposed to have been fixed in version 1.06: + Fixed bug where linked pioneer improvements we
[quote who="Norhg" reply="33" id="2743871"]Once I waited 'till I had 5 cities and researched it. The other time I did it when I just had my starting city. Both times I got one gold mine - the second time at one of the secondary cities. Did the same thing with Lost Bounty and received a single square of both a fruit orchard and twilight bee both times - with 5 cities placed randomly around my cities.[/quote] One Gold Mine, then one Orchard and one Apiary... yep, same here.
(This is on version 1.05, since I had a game going that I wanted to continue, I haven't updated yet) I have a question regarding the maximum notable level. Playing Kingdom, on my map, I have many Notable Locations that are level 5. My level is 4. However, I have researched all of the Adventure tree now, except for Refined Charm, and there is nothing that will get me from level 4 to level 5. Is there a bug somewhere, either in the Tech tree, or elsewhere? Has any Kingdom
[quote who="rancmiller" reply="11" id="2742974"]Also how the ages are calculated is kinda silly... Me and my wife (aka: fist bitch i saw) were 26yo and our daughter 20![/quote] The devs had said that children age faster than their parents, otherwise it would be WAY too long to get them into the game.
You should know there's something wrong with this guy, since he's already changed his name from Eldmyre to Janusk. He wasn't smart enough to change it in the description text though [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]

[quote who="LDiCesare" reply="17" id="2740990"]BUG) Sometimes, when moving a stack, you select only one character in the stack and said character starts moving alone. I'm unable to understand, when only a few units in the same tile are selected, which is going to move when I move the stack. There must be a clear indication of who is going to move when you select units, and that these will move as a single stack.. [/quote] If you look at the bottom info bar, you'll see small circu

BUG: Several times, I have moved to attack a hostile unit and wound up standing on the same stack as them! I can't quite figure out how to repro this, it seems to happen most often when adjacent to a friendly city. I'll move to attack a hostile unit and end up standing on top of them, forcing me to move off and back on. This could result in the loss of a city if this ends your turn and you just ejected yo

[quote who="Chronobomb" reply="21" id="2740094"]If you want a change of pace I recommend Age of Wonders:Shadow Magic. The sequel plays very similar to Elemental but unfortunately less units.

[quote who="Dereliction" reply="18" id="2739818"] The most helpful thing they could do is add an interface item displaying the current quest and notables level.
