Is BB_Paula single? What kind of food does she like? Whats her type of man? Oh and please fix the game you broke a couple days ago.

Can you guys do that video again, but in English please.

Looking forward to the economy overview, lol I would be able to scrap my excel file.

Wow, I liked the video. Where did Paula click? The camera was on her and not the computer screen, maybe next time do a split screen shot one camera on Paula and the other on the computer screen! Yes I would like to see more video's with Paula in them.

**** I really like the "Ghost Recon Online"! I think people will be confused between this Ghost Recon and the stupid one on Facebook, but I can't wait to see more video!

I like watching campy movies for the comic value - and this one delivered. I especially liked the close-up action shot of clicking the mouse button. Laughs aside, the new features and the upcoming games actually looked good.

Video is ok..needs more work. Player Experience Manager, can you explain why taking blocking out of the game is better for us? On some adventures we have removed spots that allowed us to avoid traps etc. If you want the game to be paint by number, please do so and stop trying to make us think we can actually have a strategy to play an adventure.

Add another event to make it possible for people who started playing in the last few months and who will start in the future, to get the veteran general without spending gems. Two reasons for this, 4999 gems is not something you can get unless you buy gems and second, unlike some other gem items (watermills, silos, friary, etc...) the veteran general is something that you can not overcompensate for buy just buying excess resources or upgrading to get something faster. The 250 units is an overwhelming advantage and everyone should get an opportunity to get one and not limited by the time they started playing.

Also for anyone who says that you can just send more waves. The amount of units and time that would be saved with the extra 50 available units is something that adds up to hundreds of hours if you need to wait for your general to recover and thousands of units. Also if there is ever a pvp function it would be greatly unfair to those who dont have the veteran because the only way to overcome your opponent would be to throw a vastly greater amount of units at them which will be far too difficult against someone of the same level.

When i seen the release of gem mines i thought it was a good ideal till i realize they were not gift able.
There should be a cheaper type of gem mine that those of us that don't have the money can pay coins to someone that do have the money.
Maybe even something on the line of jewelry, for an example that can be purchase for 300 gems when use on your mayor house would grant you 250 gems.
Also those building we get as rewards we should be able to trade them in for gems (they can be somewhat clutter some).

New Units Suggestion
Chariot - First Attack, Splash Damage, Strong attack *carriage, horses, titanium bars*
(would also give reason for players to have those expert building as it should be the only way to get the supply for Chariot)

Mage - Last Attack, Splash Damage, Strong Attack, Low Health
Apprentice (inexperience hasty mage) = Normal Attack, Splash Damage, Weak Attack, Low Health

Mage could use wood and gold to make there staffs.
The Magic facility could be a tiny floating island in the water.

Other units, 2nd class in my view (2nd class as in not seen as very interesting to me)

Ninja - 2nd round attack (will vanish on first round *will not attack or be attack*, on the 2nd wave they will attack 3x giving them the chance to take down three opponents) Health normal or low, Attack Medium

Jester - taunt enemy to attack them first (example if an enemy that is meant to attack the weakest target will instead attack the jester)
Low Health, Low Attack, health might be 20
Might be able to disable enemies splash damage

If there any shield unit i think they should req. an enemie to die in attack or lose your shield unit.
Should be very expensive to make.
That to prevent players from using them for blocks.

The economy change is nice. One question tho. WHEN? I want it now:)

The video was great! This was the best presentation of a major game change that I've ever seen and I hope to see more videos in the future! Keep up the great work, and tell Paula not to be a stranger on the Zeus server.

Great video

can somebody explain clearly how the new trade system is different to the old one? I hardly understand what she means from her accent and the way she describe the system...

For gods sake get someone who can speak English. :(

Mensch Leute, stellt jemand ein der Englisch sprechen kann. Das ist ja nicht auszuhalten.:(

Here's a transcript of Paula's part of the video. I'm sure it's not perfect since I did it quickly, and I couldn't quite catch what she said at the end (it seemed like she was rushing a bit at that point to end her segment).
-------------------------------------------------------

1:50 -- Hello! Today I will present [to] you two new features. I will start with the economy overview. You can find the economy overview if you click here. So now I will look on [at] my brew production, and you can see I have a negative balance with wheat. So I produce -4 per hour. This is not good. Because [of] that, now I will build one farm again so the balance should be then better. We will try this. So with one farm more my production looks very good. So now let us have a look how the production changed. And it's +/- 0. So I have the same production than [as] the consumption. This is the best you can get.

2:40 -- And then we have also the new trade for you, you can come to them if you click here. So you can see we changed the layout. You can find on the right side filters and the search bar to find better the things you want to buy. Now I [will] show you how you can place an offer. I select first the resource I want to spend and the amount, and then what I want to have. It's something different [from] before. Before all players can accept one offer several times. Now you only can accept one offer one time and not more, but you can have one trade several times in the trade. So these are my lots. I will have two lots for this trade, and then I will add the offer. And here you can see my trade with two times... I have two times this trade, the planks for the copper and the time... the remaining time with the trade (??).

Thanks for the changes, I like the economy overview-something I ask for a while back. When do the changes take place?
IMHO the video was good, you guys aren't actors, so don't listen to all the negetive comments.

Hi there i tried to watch it but there was no sound

it would be great if you could cue up your explorers like you can cue up buildings.

It would of been better if they would of worn costumes and now we know where are money we spend for Gem's go's, just setting here watching the windmills go round and round.

It would be sick (the good way) if we could hold auctions!
