    @khann, the continuing walking issue has been posted over in the wastelands forum, a save game was requested. Per their post over there, below are instructions on how to do...

    -----
    HOW TO ATTACH A SAVE FILE?

    You can also send us your saves. To do that, simply put a phrase "sendSaves" in the name of the save. You can attach other phrases to the name, provided it's seperated by "_", for example:

    xxx_sendSaves
    xxx_sendSaves_yyy
    sendSaves_xxx_yyy


    We'd appreaciate if you added a short explanation of what happened or at least who the save is from.

    IMPORTANT: sending your saved game will void actual saving!

    If you want to attach some more elaborate instruction to what happened, you can write to WI directly via e-mail thru their "contact us" section of the WI site: http://wastelands-interactive.com/

    I guess I should sign up for their forums. It would be for the best. If you posted it on their forums, post the link and I can send my save and explain myself.

    Finally getting into this game ...

    I've hit what I *think* are bugs on a few spells, but maybe I just don't understand how the game is supposed to work. (Latest release, fully updated Air.)

    "Silence" didn't seem to do anything. I've only had one battle to try it in. There were half a dozen DE caster-units, and the three I cast the spell on - and that actually had "Silence" show up in their status - ran through their manna along with the others.

    Also: AI note - The only DE losses that battle were from a spell called something like "False Life" - completely unneeded. Perhaps a check vs. enemy threat level?

    I researched Wall of Fire, cast it once, had another in storage. A neutral city I took over and, IIRC, one I founded both started with Wall of Fire listed as working enchantments. They don't show up on the master list - no one seems to be paying for them. There was no fighting at the cities, so I didn't see if the walls of fire showed up.

    "Nature's Eye" - The range at which the terrain "fog" was pierced didn't change after casting. Should it? I thought perhaps the spell just allows earlier detection of enemy units.

    Finally, the spell that improves mineral deposits ... "Transmute"? The target info just has - in tiny writing - what seems to be the text-tag for the proper label rather than the label itself. Hey, this I can just look up: "TARGETRESTRICTION_MINERALTILE"


    A question:
    Is there a screen/ability to see some general stats for other Sorcerers? # cities, overall military strength, current manna - stuff like that.

    @Tarquelne:
    First of all, welcome to our little corner of the madhouse, hope you enjoy your stay ;)

    Silence Spell:
    I never used that one before, so I cannot really comment. If the enemy casters were silenced and kept throwing spells, that's a bug.

    AI Note on "False Life":
    The AI isn't always the smartest with its spellcasting. Good suggestion with the threat level check.

    Wall of Fire spell:
    Did you see them on the town screens as active enchantments?
    I am not sure if the spell requires town walls to be present, i.e. at least a Palisade.
    If they don't show up in the Enchantment Overview, that's a bug as well.

    Nature's Eye spell:
    Only tried it once or twice, and then it seemed to work.
    Did you have an Oracle built in that town already? It also increases the sight range, and I think the two do not stack.

    Transmute spell:
    That one supposedly was fixed an update or two ago. Did it work, and only the label is wrong?

    Would be nice if you could report those issues over at Wastelands' forum: http://forum.wastelands-interactive.com/forumdisplay.php?423-Planar-Conquest
    Referring to your post here should be enough, separate posts for each issue would be dandy.

    Overview screen for enemy Sorcs:
    Unfortunately we don't have that (yet). Would be a great addition, and other people already asked about it too. I don't know if it's on Wastelands' roadmap though.

    Thanks for the info, Nullzone. I posted reports on the Wastland forum for the 2 things I'm sure are issues.

    Didn't try the Transmute spell - so far as I know, it's just the label.

    We are testing the German language ATM, so if everything will look fine it should be added in 1.2.4

    Back in the game

    You might have noticed that I went into silent mode for the last week or so; mostly due to being exhausted from antibiotics I had to take.

    Anyways, I should be back in full swing next week :)
    With all the new people joining in recently: Do you have anything you want to see, e.g. a guide or a playthrough for a specific setup?

    By the way, @Wastelands:
    With the bug reports moving more and more over to your forums, do you want to keep the Trello Board? Or should we put it back to sleep?

    Does the starter pack include all the current downloadable content in the game? If not, what does it specifically include? Also does anyone have any opinions as to whether or not it is worth the $$? Thanks much!

    Yes, it includes all of the DLC. I believe it is worth it, but You can decide. The DLC only contains extra planes, races, heroes, sorcerer lords and 2 extra units (1 Orc and 1 Elf). It in no way strips any game play. I love playing as different races and different planes every game. I've sunk many hours into the game and not played them all.

    Awesome additions and fixes. Could I suggest an option to pick your opponents? I have only played against the unhallowed once, but enemy took them out before I could try. I'd like to try a large map just me vs them.

    Absolutely worth every penny. This is a game you will be playing for the rest of your life and the next 3 lives after this one. In a time where freemium reigns this premium title takes the crown. Can't understand why there is so little attention from T.A.

    Hope your feeling better. I don't need a guide but do you know if the enemy sorcerer lord can cast the spell to end the game, or do they always go for conquest?

    Value judgements aside, it might reflect (what to me seems like) a growing focus on the free-to-play paradigm. A game like Planar Conquest doesn't fit into the newly established mobile narrative of dominant freemium titles and niche but mobile-friendly, console-adjacent but never desktop-equivalent premium games.
