Reply to ETA for E:FE Beta? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="seanw3" reply="34" id="3007196"]But you have to admit that there are alot of great ideas and general intellectual power on this forum. [/quote] I am amazed that more companies don't take advantage of this free resource (aka crowd sourcing). There are a lot of posters with a lot of great ideas, especially in this forum. Many, if not most, of the folks with the great ideas in this forum would probably be willing to trade their ideas f

[quote who="Tridus" reply="20" id="3005630"]They don't do anything. Dynasties in WoM don't matter in the slightest to how the game plays. Fundamentally all it really does is provide a way to farm a good champion up. You could axe it and it wouldn't really change the game. The "dedicated team" is busy improving more important things (like cities, tactical combat, and magic). When you have limited resources you need to devote them to where they'll do the most good, an

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Tactical Battles - Part 1 in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I want to be able to have the AI gather as much data as it can about who it opposes and then look at the XML data to help it decide what to do. That means I want to make it so that every spell, ability, weapon, etc. in the game has in its XML AI data that I (or others) can mod with good things to go against it. Does the enemy side have a spell that rains down a fire storm on me? Then I want that spell to include in its XML what spells are

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="31" id="2988951"]Sure. Also, I don't think v1.4 will be the last update I work on. I am starting to think about a v1.5 also. Just depends on where FE is in terms of needing me.[/quote] I realize that no major graphical overhauls are on the horizon (goodbye improved store interface), but is there any chance of a caravan management system? Upgrading units would be nice too. Those are my biggest non-bug rela

They tried to buy the rights from Atari, but it fell through because of onerous conditions imposed by Atari (who is doing exactly squat-all with the franchise). "Atari" really doesn't exist any more, except as the product of a chain of buyouts by corporate twits who view gamers as a sort of semi-sentient cattle who need to be milked for every possible drop of discretionary spending.[/quote] &

Reply to Thoughts on the 1.3 beta series so far in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

I am especially enjoying the new loot from the goody huts, it is much more useful. I was thinking of starting a thread decrying the lack of decent one-handed weapons, when I found a scimitar! Glad to see that more thought/work is still being put into WoM. More variation of loot is always appreciated. I used to hate getting padded greaves as loot late in the game. Is there any mechanism to scale the loot to the age of the game?
