I missed something like Wonders as well. But due to the random skill system it's hard to provide a tense race to reach the unlock phase. Also due to the imbalance of the + %work tile it would be quite one sided. So while I think something like World Wonders would be nice, I am pretty sure that it wo...

I think that the tiles themselves are too imbalanced as such. Most of the Area is generic. The only really good types are mountains (3 minerals if there is a mine) and flatlands (3 food if there is a farm) everything else is just "random stuff" which doesn't really matter. Then there are a...

Excellent idea. I'd appreciate that.

If you spend one of their 3 movement points however they will appear on the Next Turn button.

I don't see a big problem with the balancing of the arties. I see the problem in the AI which is not able to use arties itself and is also not able to do anything against enemy arties.
I am pretty sure that they would work out fine if two human players played against each others.

Checked it out and got the same error Canute reported.
Also tried it without the "-" in between the numbers but no difference.

Got my beta key at 5.9.2013 19:20 (Central European Summer Time) GMT+2, so maybe this batch of keys was not entered in some kind of multiplayer DB?

When I started the game this morning it was patching again. Was there a hotfix which didn't change the version number?

Exactly. However my troops were consisting of 1 starting unit with a power of 2 and one tank with a power of 5. All I needed to do was to kill one defending unit which had a power of 2. and then run into the city. And of course at this point in the game the borders were still just one tile radius ar...

So this are my observations from Patch 0.20.2 which will be a lot shoter than the previous one as most impressions wont change. Last time I played on Togra/medium/continents/medium/medium and this time I am going for Solar Dynasty/Small/Continents/Very Hard/Very High My initial plan is to scout a lo...

Lots of great changes! One question/suggestion about "Rescaled ruins rewards, they are now doubled every 100 turns up to a maximum of *4" Does that mean that between turn 1 and 99 a ruin might hold 50 credits and on turn 100 it will change to 100? In that case I'd suggest a smoth increase ...

Hey Dewy 2 gig of RAM is what you needed to have in an XP machine. And while Win7 isn't as hungry as Vista, you should defintely stock up your memory. In a Windows 7 machine 2 gig of RAM will hold you back a lot. Just check your Task manager in the fourth tab (should be called performance or somethi...

It's implemented in exactly the same way n Civ5. But yeah, the wording could be improved ^^

It would be helpful to know which city hexes are being worked. Or I'm simply blind. You are blind. ;) No actually, the difference is so tiny, that you do't see it if you look for it particularly. Normally the tiny icons on the tiles are like greyed out. And once someone works on it the icon looks l...

Not sure what is going on with AI not collecting ruins, he should be doing it. I agree he doesn't go for splash damage enough, he needs a strategy for that, currently it's random if he goes for it afaik. We're doing a bunch of tweaks in the next version. Base movement will be increased to 2, line o...

Will do another run with the next build with a higher difficulty then. But Canute is right, there are just some points whith the AI which don't work at all. The exploration of ruins is probably the most obvious. Leaving all ruins to the player makes it feel really silly and gives the player a huge a...
