Reply to Gardens/Farms in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

You'll need to find the proper resource to place a farm, farms and other food resources are essential to the growth of a town, however fisheries are often an option to supplement your incoming food. Even places without beaches should be able to place fisheries if they are near the coast, although I believe they may eventually incur a penalty/not receive a bonus from being on a beach. You won't be able to spam gardens as effectively in beta 2, but once you research the proper tech and begin ha

Reply to [bug/gameplay/AI] AI got "caught" in my territory in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

My own sovereign got caught in enemy territory, due to the fact that the witches huts in wild goose chase create a bubble of your influence around them, and wouldn't properly get expelled. I brought up the dialog that ends with I'll leave your lands in peace several times, before having to declare war on them to move.

Reply to [BUG] Lost Library in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I just encountered something similar. When I zoomed out it almost seemed like maybe the lost library wasn't able to be placed because my city was too close to it. Eventually, I managed to make the building sound, but no building ever sprouted up. [img]http://images.guildkos.com/view/68[/img]

Reply to [Bug/Graphics] White Overlay on the whole screen in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've seen the same thing, and if you turn on the advanced lighting it will go away but the entire screen appears muddied and dark. Either way when it happens I usually just keep playing on the cloth map, heh. http://www.wikiupload.com/0tfd9Wiv

Reply to [.803][Bug/gameplay] When two sovereigns conquer the same city within 1 turn in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've noticed the capture of 0 combat rating sovereigns, I think they're the children of the people you just dispatched. I've never tried to move them though, or equip them. Usually by the time I'm slaughtering my way through the world I've won by conquest.

Reply to Feedback from a betaplayer :-) in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I don't know, I kind of like the idea that you can buy an army on the promise of conquest. You go out, adventure, discover some of the treasure you need to fund your expedition. Of course, the only time I've had the game immediately slap me into negatives was when I started next to a stack of four adventurers. I ask them to join, and instead of charging me the price they list, they charge me like four times that price which is like 800 gildar. So, that check isn't just somewhere where you sho

I had been wondering where all the metal had gone. However when I started next to some ore, and thought "score!" I was kinda disappointed to see it considered as wildflowers on the cloth map.

Reply to [0.803] [Bug] Invincible Rock Spider Drone in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I've played a number of games after the update and had no issues with rock spider drones. However I just started a new game, played for a bit, went to squish a Rock Spider drone with a combat rating of 7 with my Sovereign and acquired adventurer with a combined combat rating in the 20s. My units were recorded as doing over 30 damage to the rock spider drone (more than it should have had HPs IIRC), but it killed us anyway. At any rate I don't think it's a problem afflict

Reply to how much do you like the current champion system? in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I do wish that there was some sort of percentage bonus when you picked up a merchant later in the game. You have little reason to pay a merchant 800 gold to join you, when the game will likely end before he could pay for himself. Some sort of skill tree system could work to add value to all of these NPCs. Imagine sending your merchant out at the head of a group of peasants in order to squash a spider. Perhaps rather than just combat bonuses, the various types of NPC (Champion, Adventurer, Mer

It is especially troublesome if you try to change any aspect of your group while escorting a noble to their estate, as if you two split up you fail the quest.

It seems like the quest is currently something of a placeholder, awaiting the tech and addition of horses to units.

At the end of the witches sisters quest, they give you the compass that they talked about at first, but the last thing it says it that she gives you the telescope you asked about.

Reply to [.803] Books and (most) potions do nothing/Levelling bug in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

Now that you mention it, that would explain why my weapon speed arbitrarily dropped .3... I also could see no improvement from books and the like, but I assumed it was because they now add .2 instead of a point and I never got five of a kind.

Reply to [bug/gameplay] you cannot apply a wrist protection and a shield at the same time in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

One of my favorite RPG bits of shiny has always been bracers of speed, maybe one day we'll see some wrist protection that provide benefits besides just armor from some bracers. I would like to see bracers equippable at the same time as shields, even if the armor benefit was reduced by half, and that reduction makes more sense logically than not being able to fit my arm through my shield with bracers on.

Reply to [0.802][Bug/Gameplay]While escorting I can move 2 squares a turn in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I picked the Sovereign with Organized trait, and yet even though he had 12 movement I couldn't make anyone move at the speed of my Sovereign. That should let you escort faster, though. Currently for slightly faster escort quests, you can research the military bits that aid movement rate, advanced tracker and the like. Even the little noblemen and women will get an extra .1 movement rate.

Reply to [Beta2][Bug/Gameplay]Book of ___ not applying attribute to Sovereign in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

The highest I've gotten myself was 160 with my Sovereign alone, but I hadn't completed nearly as many quests as I could have, and every time the AI saw me they waited a few turns and declared war on me, so I went any captured their cities. The Strength books don't give you any Strength stat, they simply add to your damage rating.
