29SEPT11 Moving Cities

Peace of the camp applies to the square where both the city and the army are.  The army then attacked an adjoining city from that square.  Peace of the camp did not apply to the adjoining square.  Not sure why this is difficult to understand.

Again, peace of the camp and rune triggering are separate systems that do not activate through a common logic path.

I intentionally neglected speaking of what to do with an "occupied" city's forces, commanders, resources, or any portions of its control, because that would be going off-topic.  Thus far, everything I've discussed has related to fixing issues with new features, even if the fixes occur outside those features.

I also believe that while those issues present a lot of opportunity for new gameplay and the mechanics of most are simple and yet offer variety--i.e. occupy orders could kill every unit on construction, while blockade orders could take resources when they leave and attack only armies as they're given commanders--the actual proposed solution would be quick and simple and could be implemented without actually handling these issues.  Just allow the occupy/blockade/siege options and, for the moment, ignore city troop production and resource plundering.  Occupying in the city suggests an occupation/blocade could be snuck around anyway, so the existing attack triggers would be sufficient.

Ok so Exodus has arrived - and it's been in effect quite a few weeks now I guess.

But wasn't one of the main points in bringing in Exodus to enable the devs to close the 'negative food, zero balance' glitch without being unfair on people who had placed their cities in a manner unsuited to the proposed changes?

Now that Exodus is here can anyone tell us when this is going to get closed? Many of us have spent large amounts of time and prestige preparing ourselves for a change that just doesn't seem to be coming - while those who are still abusing this are still raking up enormous gold piles that they will be able to benefit from for months to come.

Is it possible to get some kind of timeframe for when this will be sorted? Because it almost seems like people have forgotten about this important issue.

I know - the dev team does not like giving precise timeframes (for obvious reasons). But I think you'll all remember that the dev team DID infact give a precise date that this issue would be sorted (in order to enable people to prepare) - of course this date was dropped because of public opinion and the decision to introduce Exodus first... but can we have a date back now please?

Can we at least get some kind of indication of whether this issue is going to be sorted 'now' or 'next' or 'later' or 'never'?

O goodie Creat is on the case.

O wait a minute he is well down the Harmless? food chain. The devs probably won't pay him in any attention then.
