Limiting the number of times you can talk to Catherine is not a bad idea at all, however, rather than having a flat limit, perhaps tie it to certain progress. Like you get one for each nation captured. Or one for every three achievements for a single building. Either would give 24 in total. 48 if both. But the benefit of this is you have to either progress enough to GET the achievements, or you have to WAIT to conquer a nation. Most people are probably going to only really want to change moods when going to war, after war and they don't plan to for a while, when they're changing focus from a lot of cash buildings to a lot of troop buildings, etc. Even if in the long run this gives them possibly 48, it forces them to accomplish stuff in between mood changes. It's like you need to let time pass between these dates with the-sorry, 'conversations' with the Queen.

You went way overboard with the conquering speed. I didn't play for several weeks because the content never came. I though we'd get builduing on lands or benefits from them, instead you just decreased the fighting speed by a millionth fold. Before I had 50k dark knights and conquered an early country in 10 seconds now that I have over 300 MILLION dark knights it takes 10 minutes just for the first few countries, can't even imagine the later stages, I guess hours. No thanks. *Leaves in disappointment

a real suggestion though, an option to move to the next country conquer automatically, if you gonna make the game extremely slower, at least make it so i don't have to sit here all day.

I keep trying to delete my save, because that I think will be the only way to actually enjoy the new version of the game (from the beginning), but it won't let me do it. I click yes the first three times, but the last "yes" button to confirm save deletion is not clickable!

I'm liking the spend troops. A thing that would improve it I think is the number needed to spend be connected to the number of troops needed for attacking a country. The more a county requires the more troops needed for each boost.

Shouldn't be the "Spend Troops" ability cost more % based of the amount of that what it takes to conquer the country?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Being able to spend troops for speed is great...but battles seem slower at 1000% speed now than they were at 100% before the update.

Sorry but I'll stop playing. The battles are taking too much time and I can't wait that much to finish it (I just stay at computer one or two hours per day). Before I could conquer the world on few minutes. Now take hours. It was the game that I spend more time ever, I hope all the best. See ya
Thanks for the feedback. I am glad that I fixed how broken it was and people can no longer conquer the world in a few minutes. Conquest was meant to be idled which is why we named it Idle Conquest. A few minutes to conquer the whole world isn't very idle in my humble opinion. I am glad that our game is more true to the nature of an idle game now. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!

Something that has been on my mind for a while, but i always forgot to mention: When the Grey Isles are defeated, the message still says "We are one step closer to World Conquest", but.... there is no more country to conquer, so... we already did it, right?

How do you talk to Catherine? all she tells me is to get back tu the battleground? you can't do anything while endless battles are going on?
Well you're supposed to be at war, you're the general. Why would you be back in the castle talking to Catherine when you're supposed to be fighting a battle? :3

hmm...the mood system is interesting but i seem to do the same thing every conquest...change mood to gleeful, buy absurd amounts of gold buildings change mood to evil buy troop buildings and conquer the wolrd change mood to gleeful and wait for resonable number of dks to be generated...maybe a list of moods and effects ingame would be helpful
It's in the changelog lol. Gleeful, annoyed, evil and meh. Meh mood is just there in case someone doesn't want to mess with all the mood mechanics. It's just the 'everything is normal". Evil could use a boost since I added the pay troops to increase battle speed I guess but it is a steady 50% increase to combat speed that doesn't cost anything and it does other things. Do look at the changelog for details.

How come it takes so long to conquer was way to short now with 10 bil plus dks it takes forever glad not starting out must take days to conquer the world

I absolutely love it. I only hope that next updates will slowly add more dialogue and more answers to Catherine questions. After all, if I want my general to be absolutely fabulous then he needs to answer in a specific manner.

There is a glitch in the game, if you talk to catherine and get the annoyed mood, theirs is a chance it may stay their and will not changed even doing the gleeful and the evil talk

So if the 1 unit you start with at the beginning of a new game is yourself I think I'm dead. I attacked Astrila with all of my 840 troops and lost around 9500 men. But hay not even death could stop my army and we won.
Wow, That's a oversight from LONG ago that we just confirmed thanks to you actually providing numbers and making me check it. Originally you had to have a certain amount of troops to attack, as well as power and gold. we dropped the troops off, but neglected to put a check in there to account for massive numbers of dark knights making small numbers of troops give enough power to start a battle. This somehow escaped all our testing for this long. LOL. Good news is its a graphical glitch for the most part, as loss is impossible. We will get it patched up as soon as possible. Thanks for posting numbers and setting off the lightbulb in my head! Haha.

@jeremyx Then you must be really bad at changes game. My first mood i got her to change to and the only one until i did a dk reset :/
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Question / Suggestion: Why the limit on changing her mood? I feel like it would be better if you could only change it one time per day or something instead of a hard limit.
We don't have a dedicated time server to allow us to set a time restricted limit. People could literally just change their system time to bypass the limit unfortunately so we had to go with another route.

So the troop spending update is to make the conquering take longer than ever? Or just average out the times so that later conquests are shorter? And why the massively increased casualties when you don't spend additional troops?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hmm, limiting the mood changes is essentially a good thing, only should the counter go down when her mood actually changes.
I had her on "Meh" and after two times talking to her with no change in the mood (Still "Meh"), the counter gone down to 6 now.

The tooltip for annoyed seems a bit ambiguous. "Economy gains higher, troop gains lower and costs higher". Does that mean that all costs are higher or just costs of troop buildings higher? If it means all costs, an Oxford comma would fix that.

I actually love this new visual novelish update, it's awesome and funny :) enjoying Cath's reactions to the scenes, sooo adorablez

ok...i'm guessing no one else noticed this but when i did dk reset and i did the adivory thing for the third country i got a choice between what i say which is usual but...one of the choices was...the cake is a lie >_>

In the interest of balancing speed against usefulness, would it be possible to change this "spend troops" option for a full-time multiplier selection. My idea is this: you can select to send a multiplier of troops to gain a multiplier to speed. 2x troops for 4x speed, 3x troops for 6x speed... up to maybe 16x troops for 32x speed. This means around 10B AP for 32x speed at Grey Isles, but 3200% isn't really that bad and 10B isn't out of the realms of possibility for late game. Right now, it's easy to forget to add the multiplier and that is annoying when you're fighting the later countries.

Ah, I did not see the mood change limit of 8. Sorry. Okay, 8 times is not much. How about one mood change per world conquest. As a beginner you can not change her mood at all, but later on you will better and better in manip...er I mean helping her.

The update is nice. But something is wrong with the mood thing. After being offline I can not change her mood anymore. I am talk with, using diffeent approaches, but she ist now always annoyed. How annoying. Please check this again. Thank you very much and please make more here. :-) It is a fun game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
oh, ok, didn't see the limit on mood shifts. you probably only need 3: One to gleeful to by gold buildings, one to annoyed for loads of money, and one to evil to conquer, then back to annoyed for all 900 dark altars. ok, maybe 4.

So i forgot to use the soldiers speed boost and now im waiting so much time for somethign that would have been done quickly. Is it possyble to cancel or send troops mid battle? Is it something that we should expect in the next patch? Am i just dumb and thi sis a silly question being the anwer no xD?

It appears that a new bug was introduced by the quick modification to allow troops to be spent to increase battle speed. I will let taiga know asap.
