Had this happen last night (version .77). I saved the game thinking I could send it in, but the graphics reset themselves when I reloaded. I'm pretty sure it was the beacons from the upgraded Mana shards that were causing the problem.

[quote who="Das123" reply="9" id="3068856"]Interesting read, Brad. Love how after WOM all your posts start with a disclaimer. I believe the best solution would be to find a way to encourage spreading champions around rather than just nerfing the champions themselves[/quote] Maybe the champions could have bonuses that only buff the non-Champion units they are stacked with?

Derek & the Stardock team are doing a very good job of reworking this game based on our feedback. I think your AI coding is making a big difference in how much fun potential the game has.

Researched Recruiting which says it allows you to recruit Level 5 champions. When I go to the location of the Level 5 champion, it says I need to research Recruiting. Recruiting says completed on the Tech Tree. Tried reloading saved game and then shutting down game & reloading saved game. Same results. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16706254/Jim%204_3.EleSav

[quote who="Fearzone" reply="30" id="3067975"]Same factions and sovereigns, same world, same victory objectives (is the master quest the same?), pretty close to the same monsters, same turn-based structure, same city building, same researches--my first impression of playing FE beta was that it is the same as WoM with a better UI. Most of this walkthrough holds as true for WoM as it does for FE. What difference there is, is in the details. So be careful when you go emphasizing that these are d

[quote who="Richon" reply="26" id="3067895"]My roommate bought WoM in September of 2010 (well, technically *we* bought it and split the price, but we put it on his impulse account, because I didn't have one at the time), but we haven't seen anything about the game yet on his impulse.

Diplomacy - That's what I used to see in E:WOM, but I haven't had it happen once in FE. I played a couple of games (Normal for world and AIs, conquest only victory condition) in both .75 and .76 beyond the 200 turn mark & haven't had war declared on me or even been threatened once. In fact the one time I declared war & took out a city I had one of the other factions want to pay me to sign a non-aggresion pact. I thought that was pretty cool.

While I understand the need to slow down the Hero leveling process, there now seems to be a mismatch between the speed Heroes level up, and the levels of the loot being dropped. It really wasn't an issue in .75 if a Hero picked up loot that couldn't be used until level 5 or 8 when they went out for the first time, they'd be able to use it soon enough. I was passing old items down to my champions almost every time I picked something new up. However, with the&n

I've only played about an hour of the .76 Bets, and I kinda agree. However, (and I don't know if you were in the 1st beta round), what you're seeing is a reaction to the criticism of the 1st Beta (.75). The champions ramped up so fast that they overpowered everything and kinda steamrolled if you played on normal difficulty. Now that game really moved quickly, which I enjoyed, but then you ran out of challenges in the early game. I think you'll find

Sorry, I personally don't see the problem. I play primarily as a magic user, but just like in MOM, I make decisions in each tatical battle based upon the opposition whether to rely more on my champions might or my magic, but I always cast some spells in battle, even if it's only to heal. My champions are diversified so my flexibility is maximized. I usually have a fairly large reserve, which once you get a couple of shards is pretty eas

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="10" id="3063270"]I still crash fairly often. But, it still has some bugs, sure. Also, depending on when you last played it, there might less content in it. No boats, no minor factions, less armor. Might as well give it a try yourself. [/quote] It's actually a fairly enjoyable game if you load Heavenfall's core mod & at least his artifacts mod.
