Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.1 changelog

 

Yea, I think that's too much. I agree that the spell is abusable with a mana heavy faction, but that's just too much of a nerf, imo.

Can you be careful with releasing too many fixes if the saved games are incompatible between releases? I remember that some of the beta releases caused problems with old saved games, but that doesn't matter so much when you have a beta release. I don't know if this will be a problem, but because Steam automatically upgrades to the latest version, it is something to take into account.

never had issues with save games. as long as the changes are mostly in the XML, the old save games are pretty much "immune" to compatibility issues, since they keep a copy of the original XML files and don't update to the newest build at all.

I still think after messing with them some, Assassins are weaksauce due to too many Accuracy/Vital Strike and underpowered Dodge skills.

 

Dodge should be +10/+20.
Accuracy should be +20%/+20%

Vital Strike bonuses need to be compressed into 2 levels.

 

They just need something.

 

This is a great point.  We do work hard to maintain backward compatibility and havent borken it in any of the LH releases.

But it does mean that you wont get some of the fixes in your save games.  So if we fix an issue with a spell, and you are playing an old save, even if you have the fixed version you may still have the issue.  We do this for exactly the reason you mentioned, because we think backward compatibility is more important than getting the latest fixes.

 

And I appreciate that.

 

Just a question, though: will the other defenders also spawn down the chasm ? Or on the small land ridge where all your units starts ?

 

On a not-so-unrelated topic: it's just release day and you are already working on 1.1 ? Now THAT'S dedication !  

 

Keep up the good work (but don't forget to rest sometimes ;))

 

Thanks for all !

Can we have a link to the 1.0 changelog? You updated too fast and I didn't manage to check it! I like to keep track of the changes in the game!

Any manual for LH ?

There's a .pdf file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FE Legendary Heroes folder, named FELH_Manual.pdf.

Also, on the store page you will find the following

Tornado in itself isn't really overpowered, it's that the AI is lacking and doesn't do a credible job of reforming its army (heck, I can't say I've seen any attempt to reform, and most tornadoed units just sit there turn after turn, at least in .75 and earlier).  All the AI has to do is reform the next turn (or 2 turns, depending on how far flung the units are).  At best this might allow the tornadoer to get a few attacks at a few of the individual tornadoed units before the remaining units reform (and then have the armies be able to 'top off' each other to full strength, which they currently don't do). And if several tornadoed units end up in the same square they should immediately be combined (currently they are not, they remain as single unit 'armies').

Increasing the mana cost is a disappointing way to address this -- it's the quick/easy/dumb way to do it, which I was afraid would happen when I brought this up in the AI thread.

The AI needs to improve its 'form/reform' army ability.  That would help in other areas too, and it would be 'smartening' up the game instead of 'dumbing it down' (or rather in this case, keeping it 'dumb').

ack, hit reply instead of edit, please to delete.

Yes I agree. The power of tornados is not that high, the issue is more that AI have trouble to reform after that.

150 is the cost of a comet strike (or something like that), which is really powerful.

So Tornado cost should be much lower.

Thanks Derek to continue to inform us about your changes to come, even after the game was officialy released.

 

Also I was wondering if we can expect more scenarios.

Regarding the tweaks to faction colors, will there be any sort of setting for a colorblind mode (beyond just setting it to friend/enemy colors, which isn't something i usually like to do)?

I think tornado is still one of the best spells in the game, even at 150 mana. If you cast it when you have a stack nearby, it lets you pick off AI stacks piecemeal. Also, it does DAMAGE too - with over 5 airshards, you're not just dividing and conquering, you're also weakening. This spell + blizzard makes armies obsolete.

Tornado is the ultimate solution to player stacks of doom. Perhaps they are tweaking this to prepare for...you know. 

...zip it.

oh great, now I'm curious about what he was talking about. 

MULTIPLAYER?!

Will the patch be released today, tomorrow or next week? I ask, because i would like to mod the core files.

Not this week.

Has anyone seen the AI make peace with each other, not the player, after the Blood Moon event(everybody goes to war with everybody else)?

 

Also, an issue with the AI I experienced last night; A Quendar AI faction lost their only city to monsters, but had several units still roaming about, including a Pioneer, who was right in the middle of a settleable area. Instead of building a new city, the Pioneer plopped down an outpost, it was several turns later before the Sov created a new city. I had noticed on the Relations chart that they were at zero cities, so had reloaded an earlier save and used the map reveal to see what had happened, and if they could recover from it.

Friendly units can now move through each other in tactical

Whaaaa!! This is good, very good.  it will take a lot of the frustration away with tactical battles.

Holy smokes! We talked about this in another thread pretty recently. This will be a huge help in not worrying so much about unit placement. Still important, but takes some of the pressure off!

Any chance of improving the contrast for movement squares in tactical combat? Currently, the snowy maps are hard to distinguish where your units can move. I think the same is true of the darker maps, too.
