Pianista, let me break something down that I wish the rest of the newb's would get across their minds, use the search option before you post questions, even if it's on a thread you've been involved with.
Common sense seems to be severely lacking in too many people, before I made my first post I watched and read thru different threads, saw many people getting flammed and saw why! Pull your head out of your
arse and pay attention, don't be so lazy that you can't be bothered to use the search option let alone trying to read thru the thread a little bit.
Wickedshot, so far I think the game is excellent, I do have to agree on a couple points made before, I think perhaps it does take a little long to get started, having said that, it is most assuredly more realistic then native or previous versions where you'd be a king in a matter of a month...
If I might suggest a progression, though I am sure that you already have a plan in place, (I think you may have already said you plan on this but just to add my 2 cents) having a new map would be good but also the setting to laid out that this is a "new" land in which refugees a warriors are attempting to settle, with that though I would think that in any given land there would already be a couple large towns or small cities which would help.
I have more thoughts, but I think I'll leave off and not over whelm the post here with my ideas or thoughts.
Thanks for releasing .6 so that we can get a feel for what you are doing!
