Chronic Logic

The autoupdater shouldn't take that long. Let us know if that happens again.

There's going to be a revision of the unit summoners and the units they summon. The Hydra is at the top of the list.

Rebalancing all the units to be more effective against the AI would be at the expense of the PVP balance (which is what the game is balanced around).

The problem is that the Priest, Dracolich and Feathered Serpent are too effective against the AI.

The Mason reacts the following way with triggered attacks:

He's protected when he climbs the wall.

He's protected when he steps from wall to wall.

He's vulnerable when he's climbing down.

If you get any weird disconnects, note the date and time.  We're closely logging these errors, trying to root out any bugs responsible for them.

There's nothing wrong with the database or the accounts.  It's just a problem synchronizing with the server.  If you're having problems with it, just log out, wait a minute, and log back in.

There's been a few reports of this bug.  There's an error appearing in the logs thats connected to this.  I'm improving the logging detail of this problem in hopes of rooting it out soon.

If there's enough interest, I could develop a tournament system in-game.

I can't recreate that bug Roxo.  Could you provide step-by-step instructions to produce it?

Thanks,
Gabe
