Steal spirit sacrifices a champion's life and has your sov eat their soul to steal one of their spellcasting ranks. Awesome spell, deliciously abusable (but not practical outside of sandbox style play) But for some odd reason its a LIFE spell rather then a DEATH spell. Meaning only "good" sov's can use it. Every other "sacrifice" type spell is a death spell and so should this one be. Speaking of, I am going to try a sov with only book of life and see if I can min max i

Beta 4 = v0.950 Beta 4A = v0.951 I just downloaded and installed via Stardock Central an update to fallen enchantress to v0.952 There has been no notification of it being released, and the manual download on the website still shows v0.951 as being the latest.

The corrupt save I submitted (100% crash on end turn) no longer crashes. Also the bugs I submitted about 5+ essence cities being limited to 4 spells and celerity being castable only 3 times have also been fixed. Interestingly, when I first loaded a beta4 save in beta4a it reduced my sov's current celerity casts to 1 from 4 (3 counted and 1 not counted). Bugs: 1. There is still the bug (which I haven't reported) where sometimes city zone of control will break (p

[quote who="seanw3" reply="189" id="3214689"]Playing Pariden is all about making good mages and setting up a solid tank unit. Leht Staff is immensely powerful, even if people do not realize it. Lighting has no solid counters. It is extremely effective. Put a few tanks in front and fill your back lines with lightning mages. Then add a powerful hero with 4-5 elements. Now you've got a magical army. Now, you can try to play as a standard warrior army, but you are wasting your potential.&nbsp

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="186" id="3214499"]Derek I hope you get a chance to read this. PLEASE make factions develop in a way that plays to their strengths. Queen Procipinee of Pariden SHOULD NOT be leveling up as a warrior, nor should her faction play like that. She is a sorceress and should be focusing on magic. Her units should be mostly magic related, etc. Other factions should play to their strengths, etc.[/quote] Queen procipinee is the only viable warrior out there. she is

[quote who="Cauldyth" reply="147" id="3214017"]I can only speak to my own personal experience with the game, not that of others.

So the persistent issues described here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=792 Don't happen? even though person after person adds that this is how it happens?

Farmland is best, by far. Soil is a bit odd to increase via cultivation of wheat farms. (since its the other way around) And soil is related to wood production too which is "materials" in the this game. Food should remain as food.

[quote who="CdrRogdan" reply="5" id="3211234"] Don't make it 1 turn, make multiple items completable in a single turn, so big cities with attached resources/spells etc. can compete with many smaller cities.[/quote] Agreed with the sentiment, your phrasing was off. Don't JUST lower the 3 turn limit to 1 turn limit. Allow as many items to finish in a turn as you have production for. If I make 50 hammers in a city and I queued 3 items costing 20 hammers

QUEEN PROCIPINEE is not a summoner. 1. Summoning sucks. 2. She is the perfect combat mage (edit, I meant tank) thanks to her crown. I created a gender flipped version of her, stacked him with every single buff spell in the game, and had a great old time winning everything with nothing by my sov. 3. amarian blood is awesome for combat too as you gain a monopoly on shards the bonuses far outpace the drawback.

Its best to just let every champion have a combat level and a Governor level. CXP is gained in combat, gives combat levels, and those allow combat related upgrades (including the free per level increases in combat related stats that don't require you to pick a perk). GXP is gained by governing a city, gives governor levels, and those allow city management related improvements. And yes, a level 20 governor who is level 1 combatant should be a pushover in c
