Ive often thought about sending beer and pizza to one of their work sessions (maybe send along with a not so subtle note thanking them for working on my favorite map or server wishlist item?)

Yes, yes! I'm totally innocent. I would never attack a neighbor, would I? It was just some undisciplined oni doing what oni usually do. I had nothing to do with it

Unfortunately the feast turned sour. The beast-men would not be hunted as proper beasts.

Me and my Ph.D. in Philosophy sincerely and authentically have no idea what's going on in the Omnirizon debate. So don't blame us, please!

I'll just wish our fine devs happiness as Aristotle defines it: "a complete life of virtuous activity"...They've got the virtuous activity bit down, it seems.

I think it's hard for a lot of people to express themselves well, or even to avoid being an ***, but people care about your game. Do I think people should say it more often?

For a couple of Swedes they're not entirely despicable.



What? This is how Norwegians show appreciation.

But seriously, I'm impressed with the amount of work and the attention to detail they've managed to put into the game. For two guys working out of their bedrooms (or garages, saunas, snickarbod or whichever) it's downright amazing. Considering the depth of the game and the numerous patches they've supplied, years after the game was released, I can honestly say that not even Civilization IV has given me the same value for money.

Like I keep saying, best £25 I've ever spent, it's the game that keeps on giving.

My thanks, honestly.

I think our devs are awesome, but apparently that sentiment is not universally shared, as someone is clobbering KO in Kingmaker(:

Of course it may be someone who has long thought Yomi needed a boost and is trying to drive the point home. Who knows.

But yes, if you guys are ever in new orleans dinner and drinks are on me. Just pm me a bit before you come so i can prepare.

I can even take you on a Swamp Tour to make my case for Alligators in the Miasma!

Damn it. I was just about to start vehemently arguing against this statement, laying all the blame on KO and his unprovoked attack, and it seems like 2 posts further down the damn Swede already takes all the blame himself, preventing me from issuing my full-proof defence statement.

Instead let's just say that the fact that I'm fighting this war to the best of my ability, despite the obvious heartbreaking pain it causes me to eliminate the wonderful person that is KO from the game, is a true testament of my love and respect for the game itself.

I would also like to empty my own little bucket on top of the mountain of praise. I am absolutely, totally and irrevocably in love with this game. I can still vividly remember my sense of awe and wonder when I first discovered such little touches as the 'lost a couple of eyes/lost an unimportant body part' afflictions, white one reincarnation, and the dozens of other little touches that reveal the love and care the developers themselves feel for this game. And this of course on top of a brilliant strategy game.

Thanks KO and JK for making the game I allways dreamed of playing, yet never knew existed.

Heh, seems like I'm a norwegian by spirit. That's how I'd show appreciation, too.

Without all that pathos: Thanks JK and KO for an awesome game.
