  1. Oh, and of courser not every stone quarry should offer an entrance to a cave system. It must be discovered. This might be an option to mine more stone over a longer period. In a typical game, stone appears to be a resource that is used in larger quantities mostly during build up.
  2. The difficulity is of course the actual game mechanic: a building to walk on, not like a wall, not like a field. For sure not easy to implement, hence this might remain a dream. Ah - one more I remember from Settlers 5 that was fun: - tunnels/caves - you could discover and enter them, and then surface again on another place on the map (teleporting is a feature we have already iirc). Of course this works for both sides. To add more fun, the entry would be blocked by stone (a stone quarry). Once the stone is removed you have a secret passage to another part of the map. Watchout - it can also be used by your adversary if he discovers it!
  3. If I may dream: Walls that protect against projectiles if behind a wall, except for "artillery" Abitlity to build a bridge (Settlers 5 had that) - this could preconfigured sites on the map where the path crossing a river or so is initially blocked (like a closed locked gate) but "somehow" indicating a bridge could be built here. Building a bridge basically means creating a building animation and when finished opening the path ("unlocking the gate") thus allowing crossing the bridge - similar to opening a gate in a wall or palisade. The mechanics must however be inverted: default closed for everyone. Only if the bridge exists the path is open - but for everyone. Interesting gameplay could be that you could destroy bridges as well thus closing the path again. Ability to build roads that have a speed aura for everyone following them. Adding water as a kind of resource - i.e. building a field in the desert does not make much sense unless you are close to an oasis (open water body) or build a well or fountain to get water from underground (romans of course build aquaeducts ). Crop yield could be low if no water with a limited lifetime of the field, and high if water is provided by a nearby source. For existing maps, the well house is the only possible source of water. For new maps, an area around water bodies (oasis, rivers, lakes, ponds...) could be defined that allows farming. On desert maps this could force players to fight for water access.
  4. Let me split a hair here: While some Germans are already playing it, the game will have Germanic tribes, right? (OMG, what a bean counter I am!)
  5. Are you sure? II believe it may be available in the SVN version ahead of time.
  6. Switching between Vulkan and Open GL can be done in Game Options | Graphics (advanced)
  7. From my point of view absolutely. The entire game should be paused while this dialog is open so that the user can read, understand and decide. Otherwise the dialog might remain open for some time as there is always action on the map.
  8. My preference would a "next" button - just in case you are a bit distracted or it takes a bit longer to read, then you might miss that page. Also, if you introduce a preset timeout, there will be arguments both to reduce it and to increase it depending on whom you ask. Making that "next" a user decision avoids these discussions.
  9. Alternatively, we might as well close this discussion...
  10. @wraitiiNothing big, but, maybe it is time to change the title of this threat? (I'd suggest to remove reference to A26 as people may believe this is outdated which is not true at all)
