To be honest I rushed through the first few quests so I can't really remember what quest had what objective, but I have to say that I liked it better then the last build. There is a bigger difference between what to do in the quests, so... Keep it up ! =D

Another thing, I still think leveling is a bit slow. I played about 5 hours today and I'm only lvl 10 or 11. In those 5 hours I did 1 PvP, spend in total 30 min in chat and the rest was quests only. I think leveling to lvl 10 should be shorter. But that's just my opinion

Overall the new/improved quests are a lot better than they were. Not only are they more fun, but they now have more of a story based campaign feel.

Also the in game and loading screen hints before quests really should help out new players a lot. This was really needed especially since this game will attract some casual players who may have never played RTS games.

Definitely happy with the new build. I'm looking forward to similar changes with the Egyptians. Great job! :D

Does GPGplan on moving the new beginners guide messages out from behind the chat window? I in-game reported this last build and so far it hasn't changed. The message icons also become blurry when selecting or hovering over them.

Also, why are the neon green icons floating above the buildings in the capital so much larger in this build? I thought they were big enough last build.

I noticed the player "blue" color is much darker. Was this sothe unitsstand out on the minimap?

The animation for the award for treasures shows as a black square instead of the crate.

Ready for some farming - I thought it was wierd to separate this quest from the other farming quests in the questline progression of the game.

I like the renaming of the ages 1-4, as evidenced by my earlier thread.

Agreed with redhrts about the massive green icons above buildings. Wouldnt mind them turned down a little!

As for the early quests, levels 1 to 5, I would say, are much improved.

Yeah the building icons in capital are morbidly obese :P

I too have noticed the black square showing up instead of a chest or other item.

|||I have a bug on Help the Mycenaean Trader. When I click to have the villagers repair the towncenter, they garrison instead. Due to this I'm unable to complete the quest.|||@ProfessorWSFate You can ungarrison the villagers from the town center! Select you villagers and there will be a repair icon which looks like a mallet.|||Repair with one click garrisoning on is sorta buggy. You should proly turn it off and just use alt to garrison your vills when you need to.|||

Unfortunately when I ungarrison them, click on the repair icon and left click on the town center, they just garrison again. I noticed that as soon as I left click the mallet on the town center, it changes to the opening door.

|||Unchecking one click garrison fixed it. Thanks for the tip!|||

Much improved from the previous build. I'm not new to AoE so they are very easy for me and it's hard to tell if that would be the case for players new to this series.

I did find it annoying that the instructions would pop up at the start and prevent me from doing things for a while if I wanted to read them. This is very bad for timed quests.

It would be nice if these popups would pause the game while they are up.

|||I think the progression is much better and more structued. good job!|||sooo much better than last build, especially loving the new map designs for this and the next tier.|||Map is great, the progress speed is good, but I have to agree with above, the pop ups should pause the game.
