Reply to Bug ?? in FE Support Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"]In my first "serious" game of FE I managed to capture a city for the first time. Then all my (two) armies in the field disappeared. Just a single archer going to his own business remained. Having started a war, this was not good. In the captured city an enemy caravan remained (this seems strange to me, because it should be captured if it's a non-combat unit, or it should have been destroyed in the battle if it's a combat unit). <

I had a 3-2-4 tile in my first v1.2 game as well. Unfortuntely, I was slaughtered by the AI, and didn't have much of a chance to enjoy it.

Reply to Quick question regarding outpost upgrades in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

[quote who="Taliesyn" reply="2" id="3313667"]Click on the outpost. There will be a dotted green line leading to a city; THAT is the attached city. As a rule, that line always runs to the nearest city. (No, I don't know how it chooses if there are two equally close cities, but it does choose.) [/quote] Yea, I know about that line, but I rarely have overlapping cities, so I was wondering if the overlap made the game look at it as one whole. I guess not

Quick question regarding outpost upgrades in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

One of the outpost upgrade options increases the defense it in the "city it's attached to". But what if all of you cities have overlapping borders making them all effectively attached to each other? Would the defense bonus apply to all cities under this scenario, or just the closest city to the outpost?

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="3" id="3313070"]Just to confirm, with RotM installed, I started a new game with mods disabled in the options menu. Everything reverted back to vanilla settings as expected.

Reply to Effects of Rise of the Magi mod still in effect after it was deleted in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

OK, so I downloaded the program directly from SD and re-installed over the original files. That seemed to solve the problem. I didn't think mods were supposed to alter core files (outside of the mod folder), but apparently rise of the magi does.

Effects of Rise of the Magi mod still in effect after it was deleted in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So I installed Rise of the magi. I didn't care for it so I deleted it, de-selected "use mod" from the options screen and started a new game. However, the effects of the mod have "stuck" (Manna cost for spells has doubled). I've even uninstalled the game (Via Windows) and re-installed it via Steam. I'm at a loss here, how do I restore the game to the original settings? Thanks!

I was using the magi mod, but I deleted it, and I turned off "use mod" on the front screen. How do I restore the original settings?

In the game I'm playing, the actual manna cost for spells is higher than indicated on the spell description??!!

Reply to Suggestion: Revising Bloom of Twilight in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="2" id="3312637"]Use it near magic shards, rivers, prestigious locations and dragon lairs (3 essence baby!). Also count squares depending on your map size. I think it's 4-7 or something. It's easy to find good spots if you know what to look for [/quote] Thanks for the info! I'll give it another try. Although IMO, for such a high manna cost, it should create settleable land in a larger variety of locations.

Reply to Suggestion: Revising Bloom of Twilight in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I agree. In it's current form, BOT is a useless waste of manna. I tried it twice with no beneficial effect, never used it again.

Yea good points. But I guess the ability to save before each battle would negate the "threat" of permadeath anyway.

Suggestion: Limt sovereign to 3 lives in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

In another thread, someone mentioned that a sovereign's ability to be endlessly resurrected reduces the risk/tension in the game. I agree with this, but I also don't want one mistake ending the game, so I suggest three lives...just like the 80's arcade quarter munchers. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] And hereo's should only get one life, although they could be resurrected if the sovereign had such a spell available.

Weaker AI wants me to pay for non-agression pact? in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I just started my first 1.2 game last night. Very ealy in the game I came across an AI with a power rating of 12 were I had a rating of 30. I checked to see the terms of a trade traety and also saw that the AI expected me to pay for a non agression pact. In every other FE game I've played so far, it's the weaker faction that has to shell out gildar for a NAP. Maybe this is a bug?

Reply to Elemental:Fallen Enchantress v1.2 released! in Press Releases (FE) Stardock Forums

Even with the 1.2 changes, the process of winning remains the same. It's still pretty much build up your army ASAP and defeat your enemy before he can do it to you. I remember a lot of discussion in GC2 about strategy and tactics. I realize we're going through a "bug reporting" phase with FE, but still, I don't see much of it here.

Reply to Elemental:Fallen Enchantress v1.2 released! in Press Releases (FE) Stardock Forums

IMO, Increasing the pioneer cost will just delay the pioneer spamming until the mid to late game. Instead of increasing build cost, I think reducing/temporarily halting city population would work better. Also, growth of gilder, manna and production are dependant on the number of cities/outposts, so slowing down city spamming would slow the game over all. Which is fine, except that the total number of turns has been reduced from 1,000 to 800.

Then I looked again, and I concluded everything the OP was saying was said tongue-in-cheek in order make the point that manual road building wasn't micromanagement any more than any other aspect of the game he was supposedly "attacking."

[1.12] Bug - Sovereign apears in the water during tactical combat in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I've been playing with 1.12 for a while, and last night is the first time I experienced it. If there is a body of water nearby, my sovereign appears there and I can't get out of the water. I wasn't able to get a screen shot. Hopefully this has been reported by others and fixed in 1.20

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

Streamlining some repetitive task, yea I agree that would be a good thing. But I like customizing units and micromanaging, and I don't care for RTS games. I would also like to see some buildings be more powerful/relevant. Adventurer's guild right now is pretty usless, and Erog's tower is very underpowered for a "world wonder".

In my current game 1.12 game with the Stormworld mod (on "normal' difficulty), I was steamrolling one AI's factions cities as quickly as I could without leaving militia or other units there to guard the newly conquered cities. The AI sovereign and his stack left a city from the far west that I hadn't reached yet, and just stood outside one of its former undefended cities without reclaiming it for many turns (which it coud have easily done).

Reply to Non-Aggression Pack Lasted One Turn in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

The tribute system is pathetic too. I'll always accept free money, but what's the point of a one time tribute payment of 25 (or less) gildar? It's barely worth my time, and doesn't motivate me not to attack the AI.
