Reply to Is steam version permanent? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

LH is STeam only, though the game can run without STeam (but doesn't launch without Steam) My guess is a crack when the game is finished patching will take out Steam DRM entirely if you're worried about that. Brad has been quoted as saying if something happened to Steam he'd make sure the folks with the game don't end up screwed. (no idea what that exactly is) I strongly suspect the Steamworks is largely for distribution and market purp

WIth the new armor rules, I do think we are in real need of some sort of advanced leather armor.

Reply to [0.85] Bug with Summon Pyre of Man in LH Support Elemental Forums

My guess as to why: it is 3 rounds of the caster's init, and the Pyre has a much lower init, so he only gets one attack in.

Commander bonuses overpowered? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Thinking the init bonuses scale up too quickly, maybe get rid of commander IV, and switch Tactician I and Commander III. +50 accuracy is a game-breaker now with the lower initial accuracy of troops- it's really nasty with missile troops. Command is nasty with missile troops early on, command+Tarth might be worse (effective triple strike for one unit)

Reply to [0.85 Balance] Lets talk about horses in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I have to agree. My suggestions: Late game, I'd suggest pikes (but not spears) get a 50% damage bonus vs cavalry. Mounted troops should have triple upkeep, to represent feeding and balance horse/warg resource gathered needs to be nerfed more One last suggestion: -40 penalty for using ranged weapons on horseback. Champions can select horse archery as a general trait, troops can also get it as a

[.85] Couple of isues with conquering in FE Support Elemental Forums

1) Sometimes when conquering a city, your stack splits up, and is out of moves so they can't enter the city. 2) Sometimes the AI builds a fort in their city. The second issue almost always leads to the first.

Reply to How about dual-wield swords and daggers? in LH Support Elemental Forums

I wouldn't mind offhand daggers that counted as shields, only wearable by champions (cannon fodder troops wouldn't dual wield for the most part- I could see exceptions- maybe make offhand wielding an assassin trait that Yithril troops and assassins automatically get, and warriors can pick as a trait) That might be the way to do this. Or have daggers count as weapons or offhand weapons- you can take your pick. might be too much work for this version,

[0.85][BUG] Command and Silver Tongue in LH Support Elemental Forums

Tried commanding a mounted Gravewarden unit I silver tongued, and it didn't work. Haven't checked with other units, so it would either be an issue with Silver Tongue, or an issue with Staves. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6609288/1.EleSav https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6609288/debug0427.err

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="57" id="3349859"] Shame on me for what? For believing that people have the right to choose their own destinies without the interference of pampered wealthy foreigners telling them what they should and shouldn't do? Or perhaps I should be ashamed for not accepting that some arbitrarily chosen group is blamed for a particular tragedy? I don't think workers are "greedy". That's not a term I'd use anyway. What is

Reply to Fallen Enchantress–Legendary Heroes release date set in Elemental News Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="20" id="3349690"] Yes, I think FE was a great game, yes I think LH makes it even better, but why ever release a product that isn't your best? There are a lot of bugs and niggling issues that have lingered with the game for a long time, please take the time to fix all known issues before you release it. You are a great company and deserved to be recognised as such, so please release LH in tip top shape instead of

Reply to CISPA Passed the House. “All Your Info Are Belong To Us.” in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I absolutely agree that we need to take our freedoms back. I do think it will happen, we are changing as a culture, and the younger folks are angry over their lack of opportunities- real change is coming. You can't just blame Republicans for CISPA this time, many Dems voted for it as well. This is one time where I don't blame the Tea Party and the megacorps for what is wrong with America.

Too many outposts early on do stifle your development. I think it's fine. It's powerful, but that+Scrying pool are the useful Pariden traits.

Reply to Gearbox got Homeworld in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Was really hoping for Sega. Yeah they're on the box of Colonial Marines, but their track record has been pretty good lately. Stardock doesn't need the license to make something good though, and it sounds like they've got plans until 2015 anyways.

They haven't really worked on Urxen/Capitar. Hopefully those races get a rework before the release. Urxen might be balanced by vuln fire/resist cold.

Reply to Tarth needs some love in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I suspect .85 will nerf Tarth more, as double strike+first strike (best thing about Tarth) will be nerfed by weaker bows. BTW I Don't think you should judge solely on traits. Custom factions aren't meant to be balanced, but I do believe the created races are meant to be balanced with each other, and I do expect that. Tarth+Irane is fine I believe, at least within the bounds of respectability, though without MP it is tough to measure balance.</p

I like this idea, though it would need some tweaking. Maybe not eliminate evoker completely, but turn it down some.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 0.85 changelog in LH Support Elemental Forums

Maybe Armor Prof should be a trait for created units. I do think proficiency needs to be looked at still. Also, it should be required for some weapons.

When LH is released, if this isn't touched- I think we're probably going to need a community mod to adjust for Stardock's oversights.

Reply to Please bring back encumbrance, but improve it.... in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

The above counter-points are why I've suggested a two-track approach, having one system for troops, one for heroes. Streamlining troops isn't the end of the world. Champions you have more attachment towards, so having more details is necessary, plus with champions, there are a host of other issues that have popped up from removing encumbrance that are unfun or quests will need to be reworked.

Reply to [.80 bug] Units frequently stand on top of city, not in it. in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="4" id="3346967"] is the city full of other units when this happens? more info on when this occurs would be very helpful Thanks![/quote] Sometimes, not always. Sometimes I conquer a city and not all units move into the city- something I suspect is a side effect of the new fighting ends movement mechanic.
