I thought you guys were up to like .90 or something internally.

Could you post videos of gameplay in the mid/late game? I think a lot of us are wondering how these abilities associated with weapons, etc. play out with squads of units and faction vs. faction battles.

Also, when are you going to unleash beta 0.87? All the complaints with 0.86 are getting boring, especially since some of them are likely already moot.

Although he might be referring to the "Fallen Enchantress 0.87" title of the video too.

Btw: in seanw3's "Waiting For The Next Beta" Mod the buildings take a lot more production to build, so it's *definitely* an advantage to have at least 4 materials.

You sir are both a scholar and a gentleman

I also agree that running in place looks silly.

(paraphrased) "Now paths actually matter, they unlock multiple skill trees" ... YESSSS

Darn, they beat me to it. The update I am working on has close to 15 Paths.

[Edit] How are you handling trait trees and showing the player the branching options? Will that be in the Hiergamemnon? 

Nice new leather cuirass texture.

I hope that in general, and even if slowly, stuff gets more options in their prereqs department. Not just because of Paths but they are one part of the game that would benefit greatly of that.

Totally against running in place.

There has to be other ways to indicate a unit is moving versus staying put than having them run in place. I just keep thinking of "Run, Forest! Run!"

I agree that walking would likely be better .... but maybe only if that unit is selected? (you can select enemy units ...)

don't work too hard on it before the game gets some massive overhauls, otherwise, you'll bun out before the definitive version is out, which would be a shame, given the quality of your balancing work. 

Nice video. I always thought running in place was a bug too. It looks silly. You should remove it.

Please change/fix these three things:

1) When a hero levels up the perk you pick (the button) is hard to see. It's just an outline you can barely see. Make it apparent (maybe another background color).

2) Fix the mouse cursor in tactical battle. It gets stuck in some mode (cancel, ranged attack, cast spell) and still shows that when you hover on something else which doesn't make sense. In fact, make sure the mouse cursor is always updated to the right context during the game. This is a problem since E:WoM. It looks unprofessional.

3) Add your increment gain/loss of gildar/mana/prestige in the top bar like: 523 (+12) gildar. I asked for this several times. You need this information during the game literally hundreds of times. Doing it this way will save A LOT of mouse pointer travel time for us.

Thanks.

All good ideas... There is a ton of work that needs to be done on the UI and SD hasn't acknowledged that fact or any of our posts about it.  I'm hoping they're just focused on game mechanics now and plan on an entire beta cycle (Beta 4 or Beta 5) where they will listen to all of our polish requests.
