Is there a way to make roundabouts manually? I try to make them with one-way roads, but it still places in stoplights.

Far as I can tell, if you make them out of highway (or ramps) they won't get stoplights.

Anyone wanna share screenshots of their cities?

Fwiw, here's mine:

A quiet little ditty

Bring a merc to mark her and use collect bounty or a helion and you'll be fine. Grave robber might be good too.

Alas, Collect Bounty can't target her - she's considered to be the back 2 spots and CB targets the front 2. 

Which I discovered the hard way - my first attempt was a Vestal-Occultist-Bounty Hunter-Leper group that had just destroyed the Necromancer Apprentice, but could barely touch the Hag (only ranged move the BH had was the Pull attack, and Occultist just had the debuffs).

Second attempt was with a Highwayman-Occultist-Jester-Leper group with skills selected specifically for the encounter, and crushed her in about 4 rounds.

I'm fairly happy with what I've seen from both races, but I wasn't especially invested in any particular outcome there - I'm just happy to get more options.

It does look like Frostlings will still be 50% diminutive filthy barbarians from the north, I suppose part of the overall image will depend on which of the two sides of the race manifest in the models for class units - e.g. will Exalted be a snow goblin angel or a frost queen angel.

Tigrans certainly have a fair bit of overlap with Draconians thematically, both using an ancient real life culture for their theme and both utilising a fair bit of fire, but it sounds like they'll play somewhat differently (at least, as differently as races play in AoW3, which has improved somewhat since launch). 

I'm curious what the range on the Cheetahs' pounce ability will be and how far they can move before using it - they sound pretty brutal for a tier 1 unit as it is, but if they can pounce over city walls that'll give the race a significant advantage in the early game.

Don't forget, it's released on the Flykkiller record label.

Been playing it a bit this evening, really enjoying it.  Still getting the hang of it, lost a few adventurers, failed as many quests as I've won, and even the successful ventures spent most of the time scraping along at death's door with maxed out stress.  Which is pretty fun

Re: Firewood, only certain missions allow you to use Firewood and they provide it for free.  At least, that's how it's been for me so far.

City of Heroes, Auto Assault, Tabula Rasa were all amazing because of how unique they were, but NCsoft kills all their MMOs

Man, all of this. Especially Auto Assault- I've finally found someone else who actually played it. I was really looking forward to Jumpgate: Evolution, it's too bad that died before it got released.

+1 to this for me, except I wasn't really aware of Jumpgate: Evolution.  City of Heroes was by far my favourite MMO ever, and I'll go straight back to it if the current endeavours for resurrection actually bear fruit (even if it's only in maintenance mode).  I was disappointed to see both Tabula Rasa and Auto Assault fall too, although not to the same extent as CoH; I recall Tabula Rasa having some issues with the devs not seeming to know what direction they wanted to take it (and changing their minds frequently), while Auto Assault had issues including content gaps spanning multiple levels.  But they were both doing something a bit different than the norm and were all the more interesting for it.

Alas, the problem with the unique MMOs is they tend to stay unique because they don't draw in the big audiences, so they're too risky to be made very often, and they're first on the chopping block when the publishers need to make cuts or change their 'vision'.


Unfortunately I don't really have any suggestions of my own as I've not found anything that satisfied for more than a month or so.  I suppose I'd second (or third, or whatever) the suggestions of The Secret World - the combat's nothing to write home about, and I found the couple dungeons I tried to be standard fare, but the atmosphere, story, setting, and puzzle elements do make it stand out from the pack, at least the first time through.
