    Launcher error message 'GetLatestVersion=True' (1)

    Happens everytime I run the launcher, but the game still works fine. No help needed, just reporting. :)

    Villagers clipping into resources and idle caravans

    I seem to be getting a lot of units stuck in resources and buildings lately, like at least once a day. Even had a berserker clip into a TC and get stuck last night. Elephant stuck between trees and a lake the day before. Its happening more often since switching from a 'new gaming-laptop' to an...

    In-game list/menu of where to buy materials from

    I'm always forgetting where to buy various materials from, I can't find the Advanced General Store blueprint for non-premium civs, there's like 5 shops in 5 different cities selling different ranges/rarities of materials. A few materials are usually missing from the global marketplace or are...

    Unofficial Quest Design Contest

    Not sure if it fits into the timeline, but i'd love to see a stealth/protect-unit mission based around Caligula's horse that was (allegedly) going to be anointed a priest or appointed to the senate, 'Incitatus'. Similar to the Prince Aha stealth missions in vanilla AoEO.

    Villagers clipping into resources and idle caravans

    Its frustrating when a villager gets stuck in forest or berries, I occasionally find myself setting 6 vills to chop down trees to free the trapped unit. Would making it easier for villagers to walk straight through resources hurt the gameplay experience? Also I think idle caravans could...

    PvP Balance Update #15

    Great changes, great job. Looking forward to seeing an Egypt mirror on Arabia. :D I'd like to see the raven buff in PvE as well, giving me more reason to make Seers.

    Launcher 'Game Scan' crashing, hanging, error

    I hadn't updated the game for a few months. Running the Game Scan file-redownloading tool 3 times resulted in 3 different problems (hanging, crashing and an error message [XML, I think]). Fourth time doing the Game Scan, it downloaded properly and launched. All is well. Just a heads up for the...

    Economy discussion

    I try to get 'Conserve Stone' tech early (and 'Conserve Resources' for Babylonian) as I always end up buying more stone. Fish are gathered quickly by villagers, like huntables. Even quicker by boats. The fishing boat upgrades are quite significant. Many quests have waters partitioned behind...

    Some balance for advisors

    I've found the (Epic) units from Nynetjer, Lord of the Hunt, Somatophylax Commander Matius, Pezhetairoi Commander Tumerok, Phalanx Commander Herculos, Charioteer Bahadur & Horselord Siavash to all be especially useless. Might just need more HP/Armor. These units are available in Age 3 or 4, but...

    Some balance for advisors

    I agree that unique units from advisors should be buffed. Golden Hippikons are worse than regular Hippikons (divided by pop). So many of the unique advisor units just melt like butter in a battle.

    Removing "city chat channels"

    Whoops, I'd been trying /general /trade without any luck. /1 /2 /3 works great. Thanks WiriWout!
