Reply to FE has too much micromanagement! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Gammit10" reply="27" id="3311686"]I would love if more micromanagement was offered as an option, maybe even just for higher difficulty levels and with the weaker difficulty levels the AI takes care of these decisions for you. Options are good.[/quote] This. I like this approach. Let the game automate what you want it to and allow the player to focus on what they want to focus on. For example, maybe I don't care about research, city building, or unit

FTL is a fantastic little game, I just wish the developers would keep adding to it. I want to see DLC, more mod support, new scenarios, etc. Also, if you want to watch a quick Lets Play of FTL, check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfpVw9ECbuA Lastly, regarding Fallen Enchantress, try not to take too many steps back with the RPG system. I feel like the RPG aspect of the game

Actually, I believe I have already tried using the bandit lord ability as a base for this and had no success. It's either a problem with my code or it does require a castable spell. I'll look into the summon elementals spell.

Reply to [REQ/HELP] Starting with a Companion... in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Hmmm, I have come to the realization that I have no idea how to actually make a spell. I'm going to assume that I need to make a custom trait or ability that links that spell? Then give my character that trait or ability. Here's what I have now: [code="xml"] DisplayName DisplayName </DataChecksu

[REQ/HELP] Starting with a Companion... in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I have a sovereign I created who I decided to make a weaker character, however, I'm planning on him starting off with an additional companion to off-set his weakness. I know how to add an additional dog or bandit or guard to him but I'd like him to start with a full champion or companion or hero character who can level up, get equipment, and hold their own. The question is: how does one do this? I've messed with the code a bit for the character file and

Reply to Appearance Mods in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Yeah, modifying the textures isn't too difficult. We just need a skilled artist or graphical person to sit down and make a variety of faces or something. Frankly, I'd love to see more faces; right now there is too little variety and not enough to really distinguish each character from one another. EDIT : More clothing, armor, and weapon variety is also always a win.

Reply to Dynasties in FE in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I remember this actually worked in the beta. I believe some of the screens are missing but you can indeed get married. I can't remember if off-spring worked though and that's the big issue. Also, I believe computer players started off married to a randomly created NPC, which was kinda unfair. But if someone can get this working well, awesome .

Reply to [Text] Custom character history not showing in FE Support Elemental Forums

I'd check the character's file and see if the history is in the right area. It's probably just under the wrong declaration or an old character (from a previous version).

Reply to Heroes, Troops and that Governor thing in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'd change the governor bonus to work 100% when in a town and slowly ween off after they leave (speed depending on how good of a governor they are, maybe 2-10 turns). I think assigning governors would become too much micro-management and require unnecessary UI work. Regarding grouping troops to heroes, I think your idea would work better within a trait (like Commander) rather then a broad bonus. Some heroes are leaders, others are not.

Reply to [0.86 Suggestions] - Ineffective Units, Glass Cannons, Idle Heroes, and Wimpy Cities in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Just thought I'd comment and say that Fall Further from Heaven (an excellent mod for Civilization) had buildings you could construct that gradually gave unit's XP for being stationed there (akin to passive training) up to a certain level. This rewarded players who constructed these buildings and gave a way to revive old unit's who didn't necessary benefit from the initial Barracks upon training. Basically, units and heroes need ways to <span style="te

Reply to New Masters of Orion please! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

With Kickstarter being such a huge hit (or fad) I think it'd be a perfect time for a remake of Master of Orion II. MOOII was one of the greatest games (especially strategy games) ever. It's funny that so few games are made to the level that they were back then. I know it has something to do with the way they're developed but I really can't help but think that the talent has gone elsewhere. Brian Reynolds, the creator of Alpha Centauri and Rise of Natio

Reply to Civ IV: Best FFH Mod? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Woops, thought they were the same thing. It was the newest Master of Mana that I had tried, I was using the terms inappropriately. I had downloaded it from that subforum linking to the website. But, yes, found it a little too complex... interesting but complex. I know my MP friends wouldn't be able to get into it, FFH is hard enough as is. That being said, it looks like the most complex, magic heavy sort of mod for a good singleplayer game. <p style="padding-left: 30
