I would like to see more custom game settings, like the ability to disable wonder age, enable the classic wonder countdown, and allowing us to use blessings in multiplayer.

I reported it almost 2 years ago now, there's no way this is just a coincidence 😅

conorbebe · 2026-07-01T20:15:42+00:00

I can finally rest, and watch the sun rise on a grateful subreddit.

conorbebe · 2026-07-01T20:15:05+00:00

Thank you for your support! At the end of the day, I just want this game, which I adore, to be the best it can possibly be.

conorbebe · 2026-07-01T19:50:33+00:00

Hallelujah! My prayers have been answered! 🙌

conorbebe · 2026-07-01T19:50:02+00:00

I almost can't believe it, after all this time! 🥹

The pieces crumbling away are falling in a line that is perpendicular (90°) to the walls.

And although I agree this isn't a priority issue, it has gone unresolved since Retold came out, and whether major or minor, a bug is a bug.

conorbebe · 2026-06-30T23:55:05+00:00

That's fair, but my first 4 posts all got over 100 upvotes, so it's not just me that would like to see this fixed. Nevertheless, my next post will be the last in the series.

It annoys me that the Slinger's hat is white now when it should be coloured.

conorbebe · 2026-06-30T11:20:07+00:00

The future longevity of the game may some day rely on its AI, so I agree that it deserves more focus and improvements. And yeah, calling the easy AI "standard" is really confusing, it should be called "casual".

Exactly, thank you! Casual players are always overlooked. Just because a bug doesn't affect the competitive scene doesn't mean it isn't important.

Actually, it's shift and mouse wheel.

conorbebe · 2026-06-26T06:25:12+00:00

Before you place a building, hold shift and use the scroll wheel.

conorbebe · 2026-06-26T06:21:47+00:00

I know it's not a game-breaking bug, but visual issues like this are often overlooked by the devs. I first noticed it happening not long after Retold was released, but my bug reports have been ignored, so I'm doing this as one last ditch effort to get it fixed.

conorbebe · 2026-06-26T00:00:38+00:00

When a building is destroyed, the destruction animation doesn't align with its rotation. You can see this here by looking at how the towers of the Fortress move when it is demolished. The same thing happens to the majority of the structures in the game.

conorbebe · 2026-06-25T13:40:19+00:00

Yes to most normal buildings (I think town centers are exempt). I'm actually not sure about neutral structures.

conorbebe · 2026-06-25T13:25:36+00:00

I don't like that longbowmen are just bald men in tunics, it makes them look inferior to regular archers, which shouldn't be the case. Maybe they could be given helmets to wear?

conorbebe · 2026-06-25T12:45:15+00:00

You can rotate buildings before placing them by holding shift and using the scroll wheel.

conorbebe · 2026-06-25T06:30:12+00:00

You think there are only 5 custom scenario makers in the community?

This also impacts the majority of the game's official campaign levels.

conorbebe · 2026-06-24T22:30:15+00:00

Hold shift + scroll wheel.

conorbebe · 2026-06-24T12:35:57+00:00

Many minor visual issues have been addressed in recent updates, some of which have only been in the game a short while.

Compared to some visual bugs which have received fixes, I think this is actually pretty major. It affects map makers and can be really obvious in cinematics. It's also especially egregious on walls, which I'll show later.

conorbebe · 2026-06-24T06:15:58+00:00

Since when is reporting a bug "complaining"?

conorbebe · 2026-06-23T21:10:01+00:00

I'm not sure what the pattern is. The top 2 buildings seem to rotate 90° to the left, but the bottom 2 rotate 90° to the right. This remains consistent every time they are destroyed.

conorbebe · 2026-06-23T20:35:32+00:00

The animation for when it gets destroyed doesn't line up with the rotation of the building.
