Reply to Friday Night Poll: 64-bit DLC in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

where is the "I don't have 64-bit BUT I support the idea even if I won't get it" no, I don't like the idea - there is no choice for those who don't have 64-bit systems, they'll just won't be able to play it the question may be reversed : would you take the risk of excluding part of potential players for the sake of technology ? it is true that one has to look forward and take advantage of available technologies Origin did it, but they ha

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="24" id="3155885"]Here are selected solo leader kills from one of my last games:[/quote] wow, that's impressive, I don't come even close to this and yet I have to agree, with a good tactic you can defeat many early monsters, I always use "dense monsters" which allows for stronger sovereign quickly what I do : stay one tile away from monster lairs, pay attention not to extend your ZOC over a monster lair and they will not come after you <p

Reply to [.914 BUG] How come the maul doesn't maul anymore? in FE Support Elemental Forums

you need a weapon with the "maul" perk, not a Maul (hammer) (Captain Obvious speaking) used to find one in 912, exceptionally useful during the first 100 turns

Reply to {.914} Bug? Have to use Sov for higher level treasure? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

champions walking over a quest building show a message "Only your sovereign is allowed to do these quests" or something like that, so it seems that only the sov is allowed to pick up some rewards, but even my sov walked on a quest tile without triggering anything - I assume the quest picture was there but the quest was gone, sometimes the game shows things that are no longer there, and sometimes it doesn't show armies that are there also the AI knows how to rob you, defeat a monst

wait for beta 4, city hubs will be changed completely and this will probably be fixed often units decide to go through a forest or over a hill, instead of sticking to the road, losing all their movement points, now this is annoying

Reply to No Multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3058175"]77% of the Demigod user base after its first year had never attempted to play a single multiplayer game. And that was a game designed as a multiplayer centric game. Chris Taylor and I double checked that number repeatedly because we were certain it had to be wrong. It wasn't.[/quote] wow, you can play Demigod as a single player, I ignored it FOR YEARS because I thought it was an MP only game oh, and thanks for taking time

Reply to [0.914][BUG] Magnar obsessivly collects leather greaves in FE Support Elemental Forums

this is a bug, not only the AI sovereigns buy too many armor items, but try to buy that items and you will see that it doesn't appear in their inventory after a sovereign surrenders sell the items, then try to buy the same item (graves or boots) : it will not appear in their inventory but you will be credited of the gildars didn't try to trade it though ...

Reply to Suggestion: make it easier to get monsters and make them beefier too in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="5" id="3150251"]In terms of monsters getting harder, I think that for the most part the easier stuff should be cleared out early, and the harder stuff waits till later, so if the tougher stuff starts spawning roamers at faster rates later in the game, through quantity they will get tougher. There is no sense in having mercenaries become uber-mercs, but it makes sense for more death demons to kick out.[/quote] I think it is already the case, weaker monters

Reply to [.913] Feedback on the slowdown of Champion leveling in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Alstein" reply="14" id="3151030"]The real problem to me is the stack XP penalty for champions is too strong for 2 heroes, especially at low levels. [/quote] true also agree with OP, I like the new level up system, now items should be scaled accordingly but scaling level requirement to adapt it to map dimension is less useful small maps => fast games => few items big maps => long games => more items otherwise the game

Reply to [.913] Monsters Totally Avoiding AI! in FE Beta Elemental Forums

while steamrolling the AI monsters and monster lairs are everywhere throughout the territory of the AI, waiting, attacking the odd pioneer, ignoring cities and outposts - this makes late games frustrating, you understand why the AI was so far ahead of you however, to slow down AI expansion "dense monsters" seems a good break during the first 100 turns, you have the time to improve you sovereign and monsters attack AI pioneers more often, it is still a game of who takes more territory

Reply to [SUGGESTION] How to solve the monster rampage "problem" in FE Beta Elemental Forums

every monster lair should have a ZOC, if the player or the AI inveades the ZOC, the monster chase them, this adds a lot of interest to the first part of the game, you have to consider either bulding a strong enough army to loot the lairs, or to build your first city, then when you have enough place, expand you empire monsters rampaging impose a pace to the game, without them it would be almost a sandbox finally you can choose monster density in the options

Reply to [BUG?][.912]Roadblocks in FE Support Elemental Forums

if the player is able to block a path, the AI should be able to do the same the solutions proposed seem quite logical (alliance, terraforming) and add interest to the game no sea unit is a shame, but then, there are no flying units either (hidden hint here [e digicons]:-"[/e] )

Reply to Snortastic Traits in FE Beta Elemental Forums

accuracy seems to be compensated by dodge, some units are harder to hit initiative, added to the new turn system during battles, is definitely a major improvement, during battle you slow the enemies, rise your troops initiative and they will bash any low initiative enemy out of existence criticals also happen quite often spell resistance is an actual boon against enemy spells - and it is so frustrating when you spell is resisted so although some bal

Reply to Razing a city permanently destroys all terrain fertility in FE Beta Elemental Forums

it is counterintuitive to destroy a square of 8x8 tiles when a city occupies one tile and uses only its resources destroying permanently land fertility also seems too harsh, a cool down period, even of 50 turns, would be better I hope the devs will balance this bit by putting the permanent fertility loss on "insane" difficulty

Reply to [Suggestion] No steamrolling and important wildlands in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I understand this as "I think that if the only way to reach another player was to go through the wildlands ..." preparing to go into the wildlands requires 300+ turns as of now, I'm scared playing alone for such a long time also this would change the whole approach to the game allow me to disagree

[suggestion] outposts linked to armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

outposts are created by armies, think about the Roman camp that evolved into so many cities what about allowing armies to create them : - all the units creating the outpost are tied to the outpost - these units get a defense bonus - these units can roam to attack enemies, but if they exit the ZOC the outpost decays and has to be rebuilt - more units can be tied to the outpost and unti
