Reply to FE AI test updates in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

After 17 turns, (I was 500 turns into game before switching exe files) only seeing a 7-8 second lag (hit 10 seconds once), not really noticing any difference from previous version. I'm running it on a pretty good rig (Win 7 64bit, Intel i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4 GHz, 8.0GB Ram, NVIDIA GT530), so maybe those extra cores & Ram really do help. Can't really tell yet if AI is doing a better job, but it seems the armies I'm facing are t

30 turns into new game & haven't noticed any lag in turn times. Playing on Anthy's map with 8 factions.

Reply to FE AI test updates in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I have a pretty good game going on the Anthy's map (Custom Sov & map settings changed to allow denser resources), but I'll start a new game & give this a try. I'll let you know if I notice anything different (good or bad). BTW - Is this just for the Faction AI or did you make changes in the monster/UPC AI also?

Reply to What was Stardock Thinking? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I don't know what planet you live on if you think that Stardock isn't made up of gamers. I would think Brad & Derek in particular would take exception to that. I didn't cite the Beta as an excuse. FE was a complete reworking of EWOM and was in Beta for 2 years. It was clearly stated as such. Brad and Derek both said that it would not fully support Mods until final release, which was Oct 23rd. If you think FE is a dumbed down versio

Reply to What was Stardock Thinking? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Please see my response in your other Post to the location of Mods. Stardock does support Mods. Modders knew they were modding in a Beta and didn't complain so your comment about patches breaking Mods is pretty silly IMHO. Added the Mod link here just because I felt the need to respond to your statements about modding directly. https://forums.elementalgame.com/435776

Surely we've all learned (from that great source of knowledge - movies) that the best way to handle this is to raise the taxes to 110%, and then build some gallows & a prison. When eventually some do-gooder hero from a neighboring country comes meddling in your affairs, you thrash them within an inch of their life (because just like in the movies, the buggers can't be killed) & they'll return in the next episode, when we get to thrash'em aga

Just finished the Master Quest, Pit of Lost Voices (defeat Waerloga the Dragon Lord). You really need to raise the hit points for this endBoss. And give him a couple of Dragon helpers! It was a real letdown after reading the backstory leading up to the final battle. Seriously not a challenge.

[1.00] Bug - Kidnappers Quest in FE Support Elemental Forums

I have had the Kidnappers quest (from Modest Inn) twice in this game. Both times I went to the Wildlings camp and fought for the captives. Both times it said they would join me as pioneers. Neither time did I see any new Pioneers. The first time my army was full so I thought that was the reason, but the second time I had 2 vacant spots & still didn't get any pioneers.

[quote who="Riggamortis" reply="17" id="3256012"]They really need to look at this. I downloaded the game a few days ago and been playing and it's just infuriating early game when your hero dies and gets a horrible injury. I basically ragequit or reload at that point. Of the weak early enemies, wolf packs seem to be the worst enemies that can just gib a unit on you because they cast berserk and then run across the map and smash the same unit. I have heard you can get a potion or

Reply to [0.992] Where did my Custom Sovereigns go ? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yes, some updates and any full reinstall will wipe out your custom sov's (and custom Races). What Derek explained to me, while helping me figure out why I was having trouble with the program, was that old Sov and Race builds can cause the program to have issues. If you really want to save your custom sov's, they are located in "../My Documents/My Games/Fallen Enchantress/" directory under "Units" and "Races". It remains to be seen if this issue will continue onc
