Fate of an Empire v0.13

Rufus Moderation Note Note: here are a few things I was bathered with when I played it. Very slow gameplay. The units harvest way more resources than you can get rid of by upgrading things, which causes all upgrades to feel like they are for free. Very basic techtree containing upgrades that does nothing but unlock the techtree a little bit further. You might aswell have had one upgrade for the first four or five upgrades, as their only purpose was locking down another research. Game speed options in the beginning of the map did not change much. only the time of day and the years count. It would be nice if this increased the research speed for example. Research speed is very slow. I had to have four research huts in order to make the researches bearable. The fishing spots were pretty horrible as they were just a blue square. You could change the model. The terrain in general was not very nice. Only trees and a small amount of tile variation. I have to say that the overall layout of the map felt very natural. The continents felt genuine and did not have any clear structure wich I think was excellent. I like the development of ages. It felt like age of mpires or empire earth with a simplified techtree. I chose satanist as a religion, and got the satanist hero. He had a single standard blizzard spell that couldn't even be cast since his total mana was lower than the mana cost. Why have the spirit build a mark, that only have one option to upgrade to? Couldn't he just have built that stone from the beginning? And why does it have such long creation time? There is no reason for it to have it. I don't recommend having a changelog in the map loading screen, as for new players, they fon't know what has changed, and experienced players can just check the quest log or something. This is optinal though. A few things need updating. Over all other things I mentioned, I think the general speed of the game must be increased, as it is very tiring just having to wait for upgrades to finish all the time. Status set to Awaiting Update.

Better your description a lot more.
If your game in is beta we got an thread just for that in the forums.
95% completed maps can be posted here.

Also use screenies. in-game and in the editor.

It is 100% playable. But I plan on adding more features over time

I'll add screenies soon.

After trying this myself, I realized that more people are needed for a good review.

Here are a few things I noticed while playing on my own:

Why have the spirit build a mark, that only have one option to upgrae to? Couldn't he just have built that stone from the beginning? And why does it have such long creation time? There is no reason for it to have.

I have a good feeling about this one...
