<t> Did a fresh install of version 1.02, still no luck with the auto patcher. Still hangs after it says: Creating handle<br/>
<br/>
Wonder or it has to do with me not having installed in the default directory and or drive. Still that should not be an issue anymore nowadays. <br/>

<t> Updater hangs again upon trying to create a handle. <br/>
<br/>
I'll do a fresh install later on, but don't want to be bothered with copying savegames out and such now, just wanted to play a few turns. <br/>
<br/>
The updater being wonky is no big thing, but sure would be nice QOL ...

The patcher also didn't work for me with patch 1.02, after manually patching that one, so had to do 1.03 manually again. So you're not the only one for sure.

Hopefully the 1.04 patcher will work correctly.

<t> No luck with downloading it through the launcher. <br/>
<br/>
Installed 1.02 manually as was advised. Hoped it would work with the launcher in the future. No such luck. <br/>

Was also searching for the current zone orders overview. Thanks for clearing up that it is not available at he moment.

This would be really handy to have.

<r> Have to check put Pournelle, those are new to me. <br/>

Might be rereading some Gaunt's Ghosts books. <br/>

There are now female voices to match the female characters in-game: Vic listened to the criticism and added them in

That is really quick. Nice that they are in before launch!

Lol. Vic has fixed many of the issues I faced with the roads.

Thank you for facing them. Will make our experience better.

I think it's fair here to point out that the game manual is currently unfinished: certainly the one I had access to since I got hold of the first preview copy has changed quite drastically in the last iteration. Just speaking for myself here, but ...

<t> *sigh* Sire, it pains me to have to say this, but you can't blame your mismanagement of the Kingdom of Graykeep on the lack of tooltips. Maybe a bit less indulgent of the royal wine and a bit more focus on the mundane, but necessary government tasks is required. <br/>

Nice to have the date out in the open now. Very much looking forward to it.

<t> It has to start somewhere and so much is already included, but I do understand what you mean. I don't really mind there not being an airforce and ways to counter them, but sure hope the game does well enough that they might be added in the future. The game seems very promising, so the signs are ...

<t> I'll make up my mind when I know what it will cost. <br/>

I like what I'm seeing mostly, but I also see room for improvement. Seeing Youtubers with many hours in the game not being able to find info reliably (despite having access to the huge manual) is a point of concern for me. Also ...

Ah great, added it to my Watch Later list. First have to get work out of the way.

<t> Learned a lot about the game by watching the eXplorminate videos. I'm almost caught up now, there's a lot to go over. When I think I am nearly there, Brigadier General Battlemode quickly posts some more... not complaining mind you. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
Thanks to the videos I will be able to hit the ...

Nice to see the testing advantage in action.

Good discussion and solutions being tested.

Look forward to taking the reign in Shadow Empire myself.

Sweet, not needing a road connection to the Hex Perks makes them even nicer.
