Maybe.

Midjiwan knows about this issue, and we'll probably be looking at it after release.

every tile lights up red

God, that sounds like a UI nightmare.

We tested a range of 2 and found out that it make the Bomber completely worthless, so it was put back to 3.

Why the 2 Range though?

Oversight, most likely

Yeah, not a bug. This is intended.

Well then.

That's something special....

Okay, so, I can transfer things for you, as that's the only way to have things moved from Android to iOS.

Just DM and I'll handle it on Monday.

That's true, but in my opinion it doesn't make up for the practically guaranteed loss on lakes and dryland.

To be fair, they are meant to be bad on Drylands...

...They're fish people...

Forgive me, but you specifically said “but not nearly as much as our overall dislike of the whale mechanic,” but I guess the desire was still high enough to keep the image of whaling out of the game.

Yeah, pretty much.

As I said, it was multi-faceted, and that's not even mentioning how Midjiwan wanted to replace it with something more Polytopian, hence the Starfish.

Why not keep whales but change the mechanic?

Well, that doesn't solve the "we want to get rid of whales" requirement.

Can you go into detail about why you wanted to remove Navalons?

It's just not something we want in the game, both because it doesn't fit our idea of naval but also because we'd like to take Elyrion in a different direction.

Well, it's more than that, really.

Yes, whaling is a problem and it did factor into our decision, but not nearly as much as our overall dislike of the whale mechanic, which we wanted to get rid of.

We were also hoping to remove Navalons for a while, too, and so it all kinda came together.

  • Remove whales

  • Swap them for a new mechanic

  • Find a new graphic to show that we changed things.

Sorry if I made the impression that it was only to remove references to irl whaling.

The icon should still tell you.

But we'll look into it.

Thanks.

How about keeping the pre-beta continents map and either renaming it or the new continents type to something else like Continents I and Continents II? Some people will surely prefer the old spawning algorithm, and it can't hurt to leave it in.

The old Continents map was actually one of the largest complaints we'd get on a regular basis, so we listened to the people and changed it.

This was supposed to be fixed, but the bot still trained a cloak in a city my units were right next to a number of times.

Swordsmen lacking fortify makes taking cities too easy now.

Thanks, we'll look into the Cloak issue again
