I'm ready to start hearing stuff on the expansion.   Lots of ways you could go, curious to see which way you did.

Excellent! I guess that's why you prefer to hear from us about glitches and bugs and not features.  I don't judge on that, FE must be profitable for you to continue working on it.

Yeah i'm starting to get curious about this myself.  I hope they don't muck with the core design too much... because the the foundation of the design (to me at least) is great.  I don't see major things that need changing... just tidying up / enhancements in some areas, some bug fixes and extra content would be enough for me.    

I'll just pick 5 things from my feedback thread:

1. There is seemingly no way to see which route a unit will take before you release the right mouse button. Similarly, I do now know how to see how many turns a movement order will take to complete (both before and after it has been issued). Also, I do not know how to see the range of my unit before moving (except in combat). In short, the movement system needs to be much more informative at all times!
2. The expanded area of influence from building a monument doesn't appear immediately. For me, it first appeared only after I chose to build something else. I've seen similar delayed effects both in battle (monster health seemingly staying in place for an extended period) and during multiple pop ups (the first effect doesn't kick in until after you've closed the second and third popups... very confusing with trades, for example). Also, when I defeated two armies that occupied the same tile, the floating "2" badge didn't disappear until (I think) the next turn. Similarly, I just completed a quest battle and got a black screen saying that I need to choose an upgrade for a city before even showing me the map again...
3. Someone named Ythril, with a pale blue color declared war on me. However, I don't know where he is on the map. There are two different blue faction borders and I see colored symbols with names within those borders, but no tool tip or any amount of clicking will let me know who whatever it is that is in there belongs to. When the colors are so similar, yet don't match the name, and no owner name is given on the settlements on the map, how am I supposed to know where the threat is coming from? And again, someone out of the blue says hello. How come, 20 years later playing these kinds of games, none highlights where on the map the bloody guy who just spoke is?
4. The "auto select next unit" option does not work well. There are several instances where I've moved and no new unit was selected and yet no city was idle. It was not apparent what the game wanted me to do and the "turn" button was not green. Several times now I have no idea why my Turn indicator isn't turning green...
5. This is an aesthetic thing, but the roads are very, very straight and the 45 degree sharp turns and roundabouts doesn't fit in with the setting of the game...

#1 Movement points: Track individual units movement points. The current system has a lot of flaws, side effects and weaknesses I can`t really imagine that you would call this "intentional features". (Split/Merge of armies / City entering/leaving / Buying/Trading movement relevant equipment for champions / Applying spells / Considering individual units movement capabilities)
#2 Pioneers should simply cost additionally (20?) pop: Split Pio & Outpost builder (the latter should cost less (5?) or no pop). That should also remove part of the endless tweaking (see changes to the wealthy trait) and further reduce/balance city spam.
#3 City levelling: make choices harder (especially for higher levels - balance the choices) - acknowledging this might also be caused by a lack of willingness of trying out very different strategies on my side...
#4 Fix entering deserted lairs: Sometimes one can loot, sometimes they just disappear without any message. (It seems I can`t tell upfront - for instance by the symbol above which will happen.)
#5 Pathfinding (also display movement cost / remaining MP with fractions before move): Clicks if the field is not selected because something invisible is in the way causes running into random directions (usually trying to get to a field the other side of the mountains using up the full MPs - which were neither selected). When there is one MP left and I`m moving on a road, it seems there is no way telling where exactly the movement will stop.

Most of the following should probably be evaluated for the next expansion but if something could be done upfront no one should blame Stardock:
#X Enhance Loot variety (plus balance it even a bit more - seems for me also the worth of items should be verified after the changes in the last patches)
#X Add Options for influencing/balancing starting positions (values for soil, nearby resources, influence type/race of hero nearby)
#X Tweak Diplomacy (Allow making peace under reasonable circumstances / Adapt how AI evaluates the diplomatic suggestions)
#X Manufacture/Design artefacts/items (Definitely Expansion stuff but while were at it )
#X Add Minor factions (Again Expansion stuff but while were at it )
#X Optionally make AI playing the same game as the human player does. It is still annoying that the AI seems to be able to do some stuff which I can`t and can`t/won`t do some reasonable stuff I do (and still seems to be treated considerably different by the monsters). It would be nice to be able to choose if one would like to accept this (for the sake of having an even more challenging AI) or not.

By the way, I bought the DLC because I appreciate and wanted to support the effort trying create a great game that might be playable for years (budget restrictions sometimes can be devestating). Also I enjoyed seeing the beta evolve into something that I can appreciate aleady now.

But this does not imply that FE was not released prematurely concerning game balance and is still facing some technical/design trouble for some rather basic features. Apparently this is also devalueing your intense personal efforts to create a strong AI, when the balance is considerably influenced by nearly every patch.

I hope Stardock is not challenging my loyality as a customer (for instance getting a friend of mine to buy FE even after the Elemental disaster by pointing out what is already there during the final beta and what is the potential of the game) too hard by waiting for the next expansion for a fix with the flawed movement/pathfinding "features". Even if - being in professional software development myself - I understand that won`t be an quick and easy fix and might require something like a partial version downport for a reasonable amount of changes while already focusing on the expansion development right now.

I hope this does not sound too negative but imho there remains still some work to do (also to do justice to anyone who bought FE and afaik won`t get the next expansion for free)...

or that you think the lair was empty and mama bear comes home angry!

1) Putting down a city only to find out you cannot build any upgrades (too close to another city).

2) A shortcut bar for spells in the overworld map, so I don't have to go to my spell book several times after every new hero recruited/city built.

3) Path of auto-roads between cities and outpost are not efficient at best.  I would like more control over it... and instead of training a hero with road building, perhaps we can change it to a spell and let us just click and draw?

4) Real time border Update.  When playing with Arcane Monolith, or rushing buildings that increase border... I would need to save and reload for it to take effect.

5) Need a better way to locate AI units crossing into your border while not at war... or grant us permission to attack these units without declaring war.

New glitch list:

#1 Outpost bug with high tower and recapture. Goes into negative and lessens ZoC instead of increasing it. Reload fixes but highly annoying. 

#2 Paragon is bugged with +1 hp pr. level modifiers, and works even when you have 0 health to pay. +1 hp pr. level modifiers like Hardy at start lets you abuse it with no cost other than mana. Without that it feels right, since you end up with below 20 hp and that kinda sucks

#3 Kinda pathfinding bug I think. Sometimes when you click somewhere long away, the party gets stuck and you have to reselect and do a new path. Probably related to pressing next turn at the same time as moving. (I'm quick )

#4 Cloak of Thorns doesn't work at all, and please let reflect work before counting armor and dodge to make them more useful on tanking champions.

#5 Why do AI keep buying the +2 Initiative amulets? Every time I accept a surrender the AI has 20+ of them. I never get one from loot it seems so they must be buying them or something. 

Here's my real number 5. You have us pick skin, hair, metal, and clothing colors when designing a custom faction. Metal color doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. Clothing color is relevant for the first 5 turns until we find a piece of leather armor. Then the game seems to either completely or mostly ignore the skin and hair colors we pick beyond creating the sovereign. I pick Trogs with white skin and red hair, and my pioneers come out with gray skin and white hair, and my designed units have gray skin and red hair. I pick Wraiths with pitch black skin and white hair, and all my units have pitch black skin and dark gray hair. Why do we have these options if they are ignored?

I haven't seen that, but I suppose I also haven't tried to use such bright colors. Or perhaps that's just as buggy as hair and skin color and only works correctly with specific races and only when the game is feeling generous.

Edit: Yes, I fiddled around with a few other custom factions and suddenly I found one where the default wooden shield didn't look like wood. For the first time I can remember it was colored to my metal color. Which is actually kind of surprising, I would have thought just the metal part would be colored, but the whole thing was a solid color.

Pick 5 things to fix (not entirely sure if it would be called glitches or not)

1. When a High Tower Outpost have been captured and then recaptured, the ZOC is reduced to almost nothing. Have to raze and rebuild everything.

2. The hold Ctrl to select a city stationed army.

3.Enemy instant razing cities, compared to player 5 turn raze.

Tha'ts actually all I can think off, otherwise, enjoying FE!

1.  When a city is captured by the enemy, I can't 'Go To' that location to figure out WTF it is.  This works for wild resources, why not for cities?  (Reiterating this point!  ARGH I HATE THE CURRENT MECHANIC!!!!!)

2.  When units appear outside a city they should appear on a road if any are present.  Commonly I'll do one of the following three commands and my units will manifest in the forest somewhere, and then path towards my destination in a very suboptimal manner.  This will happen when the player does any of the following:

• Press 'V' to dump all units from a city onto a tile outside the city.
• Produce a new unit that is not automatically garrisoned.
• MOST INFURIATING!!!  Manually click and select units inside a city, then click on a destination tile.  It really REALLY makes me angry when I doscover they appeared in the woods somewhere and then begin slogging along, instead of popping out onto a road and speeding to their destination.

Suggested Fix:  If there is a road tile connected to the city, prioritize it as the default starting tile for all three above situations.

Bonus Issue:  Some spells are completely useless and/or come so late in the game as to become so.  Focus is a good example, and it drives me crazy.  Yea it's cheap, but giving up two complete actions for +25% dmg is pretty pitiful for a fire-based caster's overall damage output.  I have yet to find an example where this spell is useful.  Another good example are the revive the land spells.  By the time you get them the game is well into the later stages, and you have so many cities already that spending mana to possibly make a barren site useful is, well, not so useful. 

Suggestions: 

• Change Focus to one action.  Maybe it'll get used them, in much longer battles where the caster doesn't need the turn one nuke.
• Move the 'Revive' spells from the 3rd Book all the way down to Rituals.  People will get it early, and use the spells.  The mana cost is still fairly high (100?) so casting it early is a non-trivial choice for a player to make, but they'll GET TO MAKE IT.  I haven't cast a revive spell this year.

More to come as I think of more things that annoy me.
