Reply to I'm running into a lot of quest locations that don't do anything in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Do you already have an active quest? I ran into the same thing and I think I had an active quest that was preventing me from picking up others. Once I completed the quest I had, I was able to pick up others. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to work or maybe I finally met the criteria for the quest? It was a late night so I don't guarantee the recollection of what I did last night.

Reply to It's just not fun. in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Were you playing the campaign or a sandbox game? I do agree that the first few turns can be a rather bland experience. Are you looking for an accelerated starting option - maybe more resources, free tech or at a higher level than 0? An issue with that might be you'd probably still want the option to place the city vs. starting the game with it already in place.

Reply to Can't build farms or any other resource gathering building... in War of Magic Stardock Forums

You need to click on the resource now to build it. This was a change from the earlier versions where you built from the city build menu. A bit counter-intuitive but that's the way it works. I haven't made up my mind if I like it or not, but I honestly don't mind it but it does take some getting used to.
