Reply to Final votes for Beta 3 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

FE is looking much, much better. There are still some stability issues and some serious polishing issues, but we are getting there. Please, Stardock, heed the suggestions from some of my fellow forum members. They have provided some amazing feedback. Some of it is so good that you couldn't buy it anywhere and they gave it to you for free.

Encumbrance and storage in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The advent of the encumbrance system has, in my opinion, created the need for a storage system for items and weapons. It would be nice to have the option to store items instead of either selling them or being encumbered.

[quote who="Droghar" reply="8" id="3142248"] I can't say I've ever found Influence to be that useful, anyway I seem to always get the same building choices on level-up, and none of them are ever that inspiring, even at high level.

[quote who="Das123" reply="2" id="3140424"]I also think this is working as designed, but I'm finding this frustrating if wandering monsters are the ones capturing and destroying the city. Would prefer a cool-down effect where after destruction all tiles are changed to 1 grain, 1 production. Then every 20 turns or so another grain or production is activated until eventually it is where it was. [/quote] The wandering monster issue has affected me as w

[912] Influence. How? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Playing my first game of .912 and I have to say it is A LOT of fun. Large map, 5 opponents and, for the first time I can remember, I didn't start off with 3 enemy empires right on top of me. Anyway, I can't seem to find how to build influence. Does it only trigger when you meet another faction? And I only can find one reference to it in the tech tree and that is all the way at the end, something that gives a +10%. It was very obvious before.<

[.09] Very buggy in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I have had very good luck with respect to the various beta versions of FE. They have been surprisingly stable. That is until .90. I have had a couple of crashes and one or two lockups in the first 30 minutes of play. This is with new games. EDIT: Core i3 3100 processor, WIN7 x64 w/ 4GIG RAM. I will post my settings when I get back to the PC, but they are the same that I have been using in all previous versions. &nbs

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3105953"]I find the map snapping back to that position to be very annoying also. You can change the type of map generated, maybe if you try a different type it will be less mountains? I love the mountains, so I choose a "Mountainous" map.[/quote] I didn't even know that was an option. I guess I should look more closely at the game setup screen! :)

[.86] Too many mountains? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

On every map I have seen (I always play the largest available) there are always too many mountains and they are too close together. It makes it difficult to see some of your cities without rotating the map. Also, has anyone else noticed the map snapping back to the original orientation when rotating the map? This is very annoying.

Reply to [0.86]Niggling Issues in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The problem I have with this is that if I autoresolve a battle, it skips to the next unit before the battle results are displayed. It also is a little over zealous in skipping to the next unit. I will be turning this off for the foreseeable future.

The problem is that there is a bug somewhere that is preventing us from doing it. You can also mod things so that any number of soldiers can be in one unit.

[.86] Interesting play style change in FE Beta Elemental Forums

It took me a while to figure this one out, but I actually spend most of my time zoomed in and not at the cloth map level. I ALWAYS played WoM at the cloth map level because too many details were missed at the various zoom levels. Granted it does make goody huts and quest givers a little harder to find, but this is a HUGE step in the right direction, I think.
