Nice!!!

SAJM must be close

SAJM must be close

Well, some preparations need to be done before it can be released. The release could happen tomorrow or in a couple of months, who knows. (Wait, I know!, but I can't tell you yet. )

 

[Goldra]

SAJM will arrive before the new event start. 11/02?? This friday?

 

[Nickneck the Lion]

If I could bet, I would say SAJM is coming in the next 10 days.

Wednesday:[/B]
Browser/General

All changes from today onward are for version 1.225.

• In Guild Battlegrounds, the button do show the province from the log did not work for entries about a conquered province. You can now click on it again and it will lead you to the corresponding province.
• The Collect All Button was sometimes shown, even if there were no buildings to collect.
• One quest in Space Age Venus required you to place a synthesizer, however, the quest did not state, that it has to be one from your current Age. We have fixed the behavior.
• We will also expand the city grid at a later point tomorrow.

By "General" it means that will apply the same to mobile version, right?

Actually, we have not downscaled it, but introduced a 4th zoom level ;-)

yeah - that makes more sense

Always Very beautiful, but once again you forget who wears prescription lenses to see. You can introduce zoom but not activate it by default. They didn't improve my life or my gaming experience.

maybe you also introduce a new changelog where you post such new features

 

[Retired Guy]

Perhaps you should change the scaling so that there's only 2 unused expansions around the city, and only shrink it so small it's hard to play for the keeners who want a large city, and allow the masses to still be able to see their buildings, etc.. or be able to pick a default zoom level in settings..

It's not the end of the world
You just have to tickle the mouse wheel to change the zoom level...
But yes to be able to choose our default zoom level in param could be useful

 

[beelzebob666]

@Juber

at least two incident positions are on top of trees in the western forest (the two left marks)
- although this might be OK for the camp on the left, I am pretty sure I also had a dig site appear approximately at the right mark

- The best would probably be if the game saved the last zoom setting
- alternatively I would opt for a standard in the settings
- third way would be to start off with the 2nd furthest out zoom (that would be the previous start up zoom) than with the furthest out one

Really!? Compare the grid between Live and Beta... there are more expansion slots fitted in and that's impossible (having them over land) on the scale of the grid as it is on the Live layout. The only way to fit in those extra expansion slots over land is to slightly downscale the original grid compared to the graphic of the land... by doing that there is room to add the extra expansion slots.

One point of comparison, in LIVE the far right row of the grid ends just below GBG, in Beta is now continues all the way up to near the settlement ship. I had my buildings right near the coast near the settlement and GE, now they have moved away and there is a row of expansion slots between them and the coast.

In Live I count the grid as being 16 expansion slots wide at it's widest point (just south of GBG straight across to the other coast), at the similar point in Beta it's now 18 expansions slots wide.

There is no way that could be fitted over the same graphic without slightly downsizing the grid in comparison to the graphic (they would be in the sea or over the coast otherwise).

 

[Rosiemarrie]

I mean the 4th zoom level is there as well, and mine is remembering my last zoom level just as it's always done... it's just the grid has downsized as well.

 

[beelzebob666]

@Rosiemarrie
technically the background map has increased all around the city (and the shores, the tavern, the harbor, the pvp arena... have been moved away from the city)

but as the background map looks very similar to the previous one, and together with the new zoom level it appears that the city was scaled down

sure? I seem to always start out with the furthest away zoom when I tested just now - but iirc my first login today seemed to have been on a different zoom - so this function is at least buggy
