    Alpha Testing Questions

    To the Alpha Testers -

    Would you say that the 'improved' sidebar makes navigation easier? A lot of it seems redundant and could easily be put on one page like CF, War, and Relation pages.

    Are the monarch's options located on the 'vote' page and have they been altered much? Anything added/removed?

    In the in-game messages, is there an option to send a message to the whole kd?

    Are common bugs like the paper bug and dragon bugs fixed.

    If anyone else has questions be sure to ask them.

    I'd like to play the game for a bit before answering that.

    Monarch options are pretty much the same - but in a seperate link that appears when you are monarch, there is also an "invitations" link

    Invitations

    From time to time honorable provinces will perish at the hands of your enemies. Other trecherous leaders will choose to defect or abandon their provinces. Remember, a full kingdom is a strong kingdom. Use your regal charm to invite strong leaders to take charge of your available lands.

    Choose Invitee
    Current kingdom is Corporate Takeover(1:11)
    Kingdom: Island:

    Send Invite To

    Existing Leader
    Email Address

    Choose Invitation Type

    Invitation Into...
    New Province 13 available
    Abandoned Province

    Message
    The Wealthy King Bishop of Beeshop invites you to join the kingdom of Corporate Takeover(1:11).


    The sidebar isnt what im used to, so initially i didnt like it, but after messing with it for a day you quickly get used to it. The pages that are separated out do make sections a lot neater looking, not sure if its essential they get their own page but it doesnt hurt.

    Posting locations is illegal.
    Bishop needs to get warned for this, and he also deserves at least one infraction over having violated rules that he should know by heart, because he pretends to enforce them hard at all times.

    On second thought, he should get one infraction for each location he posted, in the interest of fairness.

    Way to go breaking the rules you and your master Mourhelm the magnificient love to 'moderate' us for.
    Catwalk's crusade for legalized cheating was a stunning success, with ghettos and low-tiered teams everywhere losing their wells of knowledge to better kingdoms in the process.

    Step one: replace everything that works.
    Step two: blame the predictable epic fail on outside forces.
    Step three: keep the community informed that no progress has been made since the last update.
    Step four: thank you for your patience.

    We used some uncommon sense and came to the conclusion that since it is the alpha, posting locations doesn't matter.
    On most other cases, locations would be deleted.

    Now that we got that out of the way, please keep this thread for questions about the alpha.
    Thanks!

    You have an answer to that first question Mourhelm? It sounds like you were just waiting for it to grow on you...

    Personally I like the sidebar. I just wish they changed Growth to Buildings and Mystics to Spells.

    I'm curious to know if you have noticed any changes in the game mechanics?
    Attacks, spells thievery results etc.

    Are the KD forum better than the current one?
    Are KD locations autolinked in the forum?
    Are the news/paper etc displayed the same way as it is now?
    What information is displayed on KD pages?

    At the moment we are somewhat limited with what we can do. The new sidebar is not a bother for me now, but maybe with a bit more intense playing it will be.

    The whole point of the testing is to make sure everything is working exactly the same.

    I'd say yes although there are some bugs that need fixing.

    No.

    Not that much in the paper at the moment so it's hard to say if the wording is exactly the same.

    The same info as in the old code.

    As for the paper bug. I finally received a reply from one of my support tickets that was from about a month ago, regarding the paper.

    It stated that the paper bug should be fixed with the new code. This was from a spokesperson for Roison.
