  • Comment: Warlock entered Tower map from map side in phase 4 muster

    A legion _starts_ in the tower hexes. Recruits have to move onto the board -- it makes recruiting an Ogre during a battle a slow/losing proposition. This is normal.

  • Preferences

    I play abyssal9, and I more or less _have_ to have the window scale set to '8' to play. Since the new version (20080822) the scale is now set in the Windows tab of the Preferences window. It may keep during a session, but it reset to 15 when I started a game a few days later. In addition, when you change the scale, the "Game Status" window also changes scale (but the "caretaker stacks"...

  • Game hangs on AI Split

  • Comment: Auto quit when game over never changes

    Since this was added to the new public buiold, the list of player (and player types) on the start screen now default to 'none' rather than the prior values. It appears that information is not getting saved as part of the configuration.

  • Auto quit when game over never changes

    I inadvertantly chose "Auto quit when game over" in options. Loading a saved game, however, seems to overwrite the option settings, at which point there is no way to switch back to it not auto quitting. Note that I didn't find the 'auto quit' option in the save file, but in the user profile; so it seems that if you change auto quit it doesn't immediately save the change to the profile.

  • Comment: Game halt in Abyssal9

    I guess just losing the turn would work too, but I figured if you get yourself in that situation (two legions with the potential for a deadlock) you deserve to lose...

  • Game halt in Abyssal9

    My usual game is Abyssal9; i noticed the purple titan's legion was in Mountains leading into the abyss. Then it moved its only other legion into the abyss just below that mountain, and I thought -- what will happen if it rolls a "1" on the next turn? Guess what happened? It rolls a 1. The game hangs since there is no legal move. What should the actual result be? Hanging the game seems...

  • Creature Count wrong on new game

    I went from playing an Abyssal9 game to playing Default (using 'New Game' after winning the Abyssal9). Everything looked fine except the number of each creature in the Caretaker Stacks was from Abyssal9 (for example, 12 Warlocks). I'd seen this before going from Default to Infinite and seeing that the creature counts were not '999' but actually the "Default" numbers.
