EugeneL: It might be, but it's preventing me from beating second shard, for the second time :-/ I suck at turn-based strategy, horribly. But I love what Eador does, I'd just like to do it at my own pace, not pushed into anything by opposing players. As far as I'm concerned, AI opponents are a nuisance and I just want to explore and do my thing.

All right, another, slightly less stupid, newbie question: Is there a way to turn off the opponent's AI on a shard? Don't try to persuade me that I don't want to or give me tips how can I counter it, just tell me yes or no. And a 'way' is anything that would lead to this end: Including editing save games / game files in some way or form, I don't really care, it would just increase my enjoyment of the game immensely.

(or any other way to force AI player from doing anything, like knocking his income down to 0 per turn permanently or whatever.)

Basically, my notebook has got a resolution of somethingorother x 768, which is all good and dandy until I try launching Eador, which just so so doesn't fit on the screen. I have tried fullscreen, but it just doesn't work - the game crashes every time upon launch. It's not as much of a problem as it is annoying, and so I'd like to ask if there's any way whatsoever to change the game's resolution.

Oh, so it was just me being thick, not an actual issue with the game. Thanks for your help, guys.

HerrHolkin: What exactly is the advantage of rushing trough the first shards, aside from unlocking new content? I'm one of the people who like to take their time, you see, even if it ended up in me not actually finishing the game (I'm not really a finisher after all, to me the imporatant bit is how enjoyable is the part I do manage to play. If the game does have 120 hours, there's no way I'll be able to finish it anytime soon - too much of actual life in the way.)

Mystic: Fair point about the heroes. And at least it gives me a chance to try all of them properly.

Well I've finally finished the bloody tutorial (What would I do with my life if I didn't have every territory at 70% explored status, at the very least? I mean really, what kind of man would I be?)
*spoilers follow*
First of all, I was kinda bummed my hero unit didn't follow me. Second, the story 'twist' was awesome - "Oh, right, what we told you so far is not true, you're actually a demigod. ... Why are you looking at me like that?" I dig the sense of humor. Anyway, I'm gonna make this into a question as well: Are there ways, later on, to transfer heroes between the shards? At least a single hero? Please?
Right, next... A game that takes place on a level of 'universe' (awesome level selector, and I think it's gonna be even more later on,) 'world,' individual bits of the world via exploration AND a battlefield. Nice. Very nice. That combined with the fact that not every encounter needs to be hostile and negotiation can be an option at times is awesome. And... Well, I can just see myself playing more and more of this towards a total and complete addiction. Oh, and to finish this up with a question: Are you people still working on the network portion of the game, or is repeatedly clicking 'unacceptable' not going to do anything?

Oh, just wanted to create a topic for this, but I can see you've got me covered: I'd like to know what are the exact bonuses / nerfs that terrain in battle gives you. I know that forest increases defense, hills increase range, and swamps decrease ... Something, but I'd really like to see some numbers.

All right, I've played the tutorial and ... Well I'm just popping by to say two things:
a) I hate turn-based strategy games. For the most part, I hate them with passion. With a few exceptions, that I extremely fall in love with
b) I have extremely fallen in love with Eador. It's one of a kind. It's brilliant. It's not too hard for me, which is always a dealbreaker as far as I'm concerned (on beginner, of course.)

That is all. I just love the game, it's pleasantly surprised me.
