[Sonya]

Hello.

I downloaded the game on my work's PC and the game started right away.

Now i am at home, the game dint work on that PC, and i downloaded a new version on my Home PC, but now ask me for  account or register, yesterday i was not asked for any of that.

Should i create a account or my info is taken from BM, I am a bit confused.

That will be the issue with build 13 that was automatically logging into Tom's test account... Version 14 you will need your own player ID and key to login the first time (it should remember it after that).

[Tom]

create an account please, the game is not tied into BM in any way.

Ok, so, with my family of 4, I harvested 10 food this turn (2 fields), collected 3 wood and planted one field, but have 0 of any resources stored :(

[Tom]

Yes, I've seen this before, but I thought I fixed it.

Check one thing: That nobody took your hut. Because resources are stored in houses, and change owner with them.

[Sonya]

Thank you.

Will do so now.

No, only lost my hut in one of them, but others (not all however) have got 0 food despite still having (and living in) their hut and gathering lots of food - a family of 4 gathered 15 last turn, have zero stored, for example :(

Tried to create account yesterday but never received email. Tried again today but an error happens.

"Server error, please try again in few minutes. If persist Spam Forums (well actually that last part was not real)"

[Tom]

Try again, please, and note the exact time so I can check for error messages in the log files.

[Sonya]

Tried again just now.

11:10 am UTC-4

[Tom]

The error I see in the log is:

Auth: Account not yet confirmed

Which exact error message do you get when you try? It should be something like "Confirm your account via the e-mail we sent you first." -- do you see this message or not and if not, which message do you see?


To fix it, find the e-mail that was sent to you when you signed up and click the link there.

As a playability feedback, I think the differing number of peasants in a family detracts a bit. Yes, fewer members means less food required, but if you end up with another player trying to take all your land, it is an unenjoyable experience to know that they can take 6 actions to your 4, potentially taking all your land and nothing you can do about it. I like the idea of the differing numbers, but in practise (at the moment) it doesn't seem to work fairly.

[Tom]

Yes, those are balancing questions that will be addressed during the beta phase.

I never got any ID, Username, password, etc. with my registration, but on Friday i received this email:

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your interest in the game. Now that we have quite a few players signed up, I started two new games. Please join them in the game client and I can get the ball rolling.

If you have any problems getting the game to run or to log in or anything else, please simply reply to this mail and I will assist you as best as I can.


Cheers,

Tom

When i run game i get this:


And when i try to register i get this:

For the server error, can you do it again, please, and note the exact time (and your timezone) so I can go and check the server logs?

For the rest, I will send you your login details by mail. Please reproduce the error above first, before using them.
