RE: THIEVES! Massive bug in the code.

It doesn't matter what he does with his money, does it? It makes zero sense that thieves in a newly conquered city can steal such a huge chunk of his empire's treasury. Definitely a bug.

How to make major regimes surrender?

After you take their only city and beats their increasingly out of supply troops more and more it becomes really annoying having to chase down every single unit for the war to be 'won'. Is there a way to trigger a surrender?

RE: When to build 2nd SHQ

Shouldn't emergency food be taken from zone inventory?

It makes no sense that a zone's public assets produce a ridiculous amount of food but because of logistics issues elsewhere the population doesn't get anything... :(

Bug when building roads/rail over mountains

I think I just found an exploit. If hex A is plains and hex B is mountains, building a road from B to A is much more expensive than from A to B. Like, way more.

Show total weight of model after each equipment choice

It's never clear the total weight of a model while designing it. After choosing one piece of equipment the total weight of the unit should be shown so the player can make a better informed decision about the rest of the equipment, especially the engine.

Rebalancing danger mechanics

<t> It seems really too punishing right now, especially since it can go up via events totally out of control of the player (and even when a leader succeeds a skill roll on those!) and afaik there is no way to reduce other than waiting for time to pass.
