Don't know about anyone else, but Quest Maps [via Wanderlust] still don't work for me. They're never available for purchase.
Just tested quest maps with a custom faction via the cheat menu, they are working for me. Have you researched the appropriate tech?
With all of the drama that Nintendo has been involved with recently, claiming all ad revenue on Youtube for themselves, I'd love to know: Does Stardock have an official policy on monetizing Let's Plays?
Nintendo plans on never seeing their games get free advertising on Youtube - because that's what the deal is. People who post videos of a game generate interest in that game, which is called 'free advertising', and that ends up making the company money from sales of the game. If I actually got paid like a sales agent, I'd make more money from getting a % of sales from people who bought the games I've streamed than the actual ad revenue.
Derek, do you know that the Unit Upgrade Window is bugged? It auto-closes after choosing a single upgrade, when it seems like it was designed such that you could select all the upgrades you want, then manually close it with the Done button.
I would definitely like this change. Having to open the upgrade window 3 times for a full upgrade seems like a missed opportunity.

3 helmets in a row... RNG definitely needs attention.
3 leather helmets, 1 compass, 1 recall scroll and an Ice spear. RNG it is, but that RNG sort of balances out the starting location awesomeness (except for the wolves at the door).
It is definately worth it to watch MadDjinn#s Stream!
On a side note:
Official release is only 3 days ahead and I wish the game good luck especially concerning critics.
Sometimes I like to think that we Beta testers would like the game to be even more, when it is already playable as it is now.
I guess the critics will decide upon the matter.
Will 0.92 be the release version?
Edit: There is also still the "form" -> "from" spelling error right in the first line of fixes.
They have another version .95 going about right now (not released to us). They included several small fixes. There are a few more touchups to be made. The coreRandom files have some errors in them. They refer to items that don't actually exist in the game (AmuletOfStrength) and (Scroll_Life), they also refer to a champion that is not in the units folder (Champion_Wilbur) -- that was also an error in FE as well.
I've been playing a game with .92 and I can say it's release ready except for some bugs, grammar and tweaks. Are there some improvements and bugs to squish? You bet. But it hits the mark for release-ready. The biggest dings against Fallen Enchantress have been addressed (lack of fun with strategic combat, prone to easy abuse, lack of tie-in with cities, etc.). Can't wait for 1.0 and beyond!
Agreed. Very stable, rarely encountering any noticable bugs or glitches, and the AI is definitely getting better.
