It’s the only time that tabs Vs spaces really riles me up. So annoying when everyone has different tab lengths

Now that’s a good set of patch notes!

Is that not a game designer thing?

I mean, my understanding is that they fired half of their story continuity team, resulting in a published (physical) lore book that makes no sense.

So now I don’t think they are even trying

Druids currently have 7 trees. (And a treeent form)

1 class tree, 4 spec trees and 2 (or is it 3 for druids?) hero trees. Only 3 can be used at any one time though (to be clear as you don’t currently play)

The more possible combinations, the harder it can be to balance though

They can’t write good stories any more, don’t expect good main story, just good side quests.

It still feels like this expansion was too early (as usual) and many classes could have done with more time in the oven (druids and rogues)

On the talents - they realised that they can’t just keep giving us stuff, so they have switched to having some kind of ‘borrowed power’ that gets taken away after the expansion - I think the hero talents are another example of this? Some are shit though and I imagine it’s going to be balance hell (rip boomkins too lol), as they never seem to learn with this stuff.

It’s the endgame group content that actually sells wow for many people (me), so as long as that works and it’s ok balance wise (or alts can be leveled easily) then it’s probably ok for quite a few people though.

Disclaimer: have not got early access, have bought the expansion, but left it really late to decide.

There was something said (maybe by a youtuber?) about upgrades merging with your town centre or something on a new era (because so much is specific to a single era). Almost like playing 3 games on the same map.

It also implies that tech disparities will be reset twice a game…not sure if that is good or bad.

Also a possibility of a humankind style neolithic era?

But yes, expecting some required DLC unfortunately.

But civ is a patient gamer staple - just wait for 8 to come out and 7’s dlcs will be cheap! 🤣

Interested how the map expansion will work in multiplayer.

Concerned about the era resets.

I like what they appear to have taken from humankind (eras, leader swaps, outposts/yowns, map elevation?) and old world (tile improvements culture bomb)

Also concerned about how the maps seemed to just be cities, no gradual domestication of the world with farms, mines etc.

I would bet that there will be a new space age era added on as a DLC

The ages concern me most though - what progress carries across? Are you going to be going full land grab because your infrastructure resets etc?

I believe SLA parts also require drain holes for the resin on the inside of the part to drain out through?

I suspect the adventures that come with it will have a degree of spoilery-ness, but its definitely an extremely interesting set of world settings (particularly Stormlight/Roshar) if you wanted to use it in a campaign using a different system.

I would obviously recommend reading the books, the first couple of Stormlight books are awesome if your fine with a slow start. Unfortunately I think the second Mistborn book is considered the weakest of the series, still good though!

That is an awful colour scheme, shouldn’t the royal domains be a recognisable colour?

Or this one if the above doesn’t work? https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/cities-skylines-2.1147/

It’s probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don’t have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don’t care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

This makes me want to play crusader kings again, ck3’s earliest start is 40 or so years after this?

oooh, ty

they just send a OTP to your email with the idea that you should be keeping your email secure (and that email providers are more secure than they can be)

The whole site seems like a PoC - the accounts don’t even have passwords! (I could actually kinda get on board with this)

I just hope (foolishly) that with the current hype that it’s AI will be a focus. I hate that because it cheats things that would work on me don’t work on the AI etc.

It would be really cool if they made an API for the game so people could build their own AI
