[quote who="puntarenas" reply="17" id="3070409"]Combine it with another idea I read on the forums. Let's say each individual has to be attacked and taken down seperately[/quote] I am the one who posted that idea in other threads as I was formulating the suggestion I made here. And this idea is the very cornerstone on which my suggestion builds. The rest of your post seems to basically be exactly what I had in mind.

My old suggestion was to split units into "hero" "army" and "AoE" IIRC with equivalents for monsters. Significantly increase the QUANTITY of enemies in an army/swarm. With the sov and champions being developable as either a hero or AoE (or a hybrid that is master of neither). as well as some of the greatest monsters (dragons and elemental lords should also be hero/AoE hybrids) Heroes deal massive damage but only to 1 unit. AoE deal small damage but to all units in a tile.

[quote who="NaytchSG" reply="14" id="3224995"] We need flying mounts as well as either a quest reward or an expensive tech that only shows up randomly and down both air magic and warfare lines.[/quote] That would be awesome... Also perhaps as a summon... Heck, I want a dragon mount (like the bad guy from the master quest has)

[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="33" id="3224802"]To be fair, at that point, the game was not stable, had boring factions, and horribly unbalanced tactical combat. Magic wasn't the biggest concern at that time.[/quote] Exactly. Heck at v0.951 I was still consistently getting corrupted saves which stopped me from finishing the game. Not at 0.952 this no longer happens (and the corrupt saves I submitted work when loaded in 0.952). Magic was a low priority compared to ho

[quote who="Bingjack" reply="40" id="3214618"]You seem to have a very narrow definition of what it means to be a "mage". You seem to define mage as a nuker, but a mage is anyone who uses magic to achieve their goals. It is possible to make a sovereign without magic, you know. Gandalf didn't throw fireballs at people. He used his will to buff himself up, and kick ass. Sauron was the most powerful wizard on the planet, and he armored up and knocked people silly (in the movie, anyway).

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="5" id="3224527"]In real life a piercing weapon like an arrow or a pike would do more damage against mounted units, because the unit has a higher speed. Your alternative would be much better than my suggestion, but i guess it would be too difficult to implement.[/quote] An arrow would not be more effective against a horse mounted unit. And even if your point had a point, it assumes the horse is riding towards the archer and not away from or in

From my observation, when the last monster is killed the "zone of control" of the elemental lord disappears (if you kill the elemental lord, the zone remains until the last monster is killed IIRC). Zone of control normally matter for recovering land from the cataclysm (it cannot be settled otherwise)... however for some reason elemental lord lands are recovered from the get go, so I can just sneak in settlers and build settlement there... and actually they often get great es

[quote who="ins2" reply="2" id="3224509"]I dislike penalties like this to enforce variety. This would not happen in real life (where any hero worth his salt would jump on a horse if he/she found one).[/quote] Good argument... and for some reason the hero CAN'T find one unless your civilization invests quite a lot of money into learning horse riding. Even if the sov comes across some pastures with wild horses he can't get any until the culture as a whole adopts them...<

Reply to Really need to be fixed NOW: pioneer spam, tile yields and population in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Somehow, every game that has colony spam issues suffers from the same thing. Using manufacturing to create new population out of thin air (without actually using cloning). That all being said, I disagree with the main assertion of this post... especially as of beta 4. You can't just settle everywhere you want, you literally can't. The land must first recover from the cataclysm before you can settle in new locations.

actually maging sucks beyond casting buffs and heals, melee is win in this game. Not to mention that without a massive sprawling empire you cannot even afford to use spells in combat or summoning

Reply to Every hero needs a horse or a warg ... in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Researching horse riding is fairly expensive and you only get it later in the game. Introducing unacceptable penalties to using one isn't exactly "balancing" it, its balanced against its rarity and difficulty of acquisition. I don't understand why mounts provide prone avoidance though. A mount can be knocked prone, and a person can be knocked off of a mount more easily then if they stand on their own two feet. Getting hit by a dragon? Well you can't fall do
