As peace treaty no longer automatically cancels enemy curses on your cities, this raises the question...
maybe Wizard's Pacts should have this functionality instead?

Or do we want to force players to dispel all the curses after the war no matter what, even if they manage to forge a pact?

I personally think attacking a curse-heavy opponent and failing to finish them off should be a path to losing the game but maybe that's a bit too harsh?

Ultimately, once you do have a wizard's pact (or even a peace treaty) the AI will stop casting new curses on you so you can start dispelling, but it can be an expensive process.

Seeing that this will also be a bug testing game similar to PB47, I repost my thread from there for. The purpose of this thread is to inform me and/or the others about any bugs you find. For this to work I need you to do the following:

1. Please post your password in your thread (first post)
   
2. If you find something make a post here and describe what you noticed.
   
3. In case the info regarding the bug is considered spoiler, then make a post in your thread describe your findings and leave a short message here. I will come to your thread then.
   
4. Should you post a bug in your thread, please don't bury it in your usual reporting. Make an extra post for it. Should make life easier for everyone.
   
5. Most important: When you found a bug, please pause the game. That way I hopefully can reproduce the bug and find any logs I may need
   
6. Bonus, but optional. Should you have knowledge about civs log system then feel free to post the log too.
   

Chances are that many of us here have games that we like more than we "should" based on their quality.  I thought about this topic while playing the 3rd game on the list. . .



Sonic the Fighters


-Characters are so unbalanced, even an inexperienced player can "counterpick" Fang the gunner with a spindasher like Sonic.  But it's funny to watch, especially when you keep an opponent on the ground with Amy's hammer!  Sonic the Fighters was a good diversion during the PS3 years, but I doubt it has many players online today.


Ecco the Dolphin


-This series is unique for being underwater 2D action adventures, and the environments aren't like anything you'll see in other games.  However, the difficulty in the first game was made intentionally frustrating to prevent people from renting and beating it.  I can't recommend playing Ecco the Dolphin without save states from later ports, at least in some areas like Welcome to the Machine.  Tides of Time is more forgiving than Ecco the Dolphin, and is the game I'd recommend to other people.


Dragon's Dogma:  Dark Arisen


-A Capcom action RPG with a linear quest structure that pretends to be open world to force you to run through its generic medieval fantasy world.  And you'll be doing a lot of running since fast travel to anywhere but the two main towns is impossible without scarce Portcrystals.  Even the unlimited fast travel to towns was a feature added in the Dark Arisen rerelease.  Random difficulty spikes happen during low level quests, resulting in overpowered bandits.  But the combat easily makes up for the shortcomings, and solo runs are viable as long as you pick as class with decent ranged attacks.



Pokemon Sword/Shield


-Although both versions are for the Switch, you'd never know it judging by the tiny areas, graphical blunders that would be laughable on the Nintendo 64, and AI that's still as primitive as the Game Boy entries.  Yet it's still fun to try solo challenges because of the variety of early game monsters and moves, easy level grinding, and Dynamax/Gigantamax making the bosses more memorable and challenging than in some earlier games.

I'm probably going away next Thursday for a week and a half (corona-dependent). Is anyone able to cover for me in a civ 6 Gathering Storm game? This is my thread if you want to see the situation:
https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...795&page=5

I'd post detailed instructions before I leave, turns are still at a decent time level where there are some decisions to make but it doesn't take forever.

Admittedly, the most important new feature if I remake the game is having more than 4 wizards in the game but omg this will make the diplomacy screen so crowded.
   

This is my thread for PB48

My password is "ape".

I've been playing with generating the Building Tree.
Just now I've contributed and became the proud owner of Caster of Magic 6.0!
And I wholeheartedly appreciate Seravy's effort in it.
Also to be able to see what its Building Tree will look like after my tinkering with the Tweaker.

So anyway, here's a sneak preview:

EDIT: Oops, accidentally picked a MoM 1.31 tree. Let me redo that. Stay tuned...

Ok, let's start it. Every single strategy game with diplo component I played before ended with everyone dogpiling against me and with all allies betraying. No idea why but maybe I am bad at diplo. So, I hope, Irismono would handle this part here. (Of course, there is also a possibility he also betrays and become a double-agent for other players).

Fact - I haven't played pitboss since 10 years
Fact - I am a newcomer in this forum
Fact - I have yet to test RTR mod

The evidence is clear, this will be fun!

Now, it's time to deliver...
