[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="11" id="3264861"]One question to all of you asking for more weaker difficulty levels: you do know, that there is a Novice difficulty, right? Maybe you could try this one, if Beginner and Easy are too hard for you at the moment. [/quote] I didn't see novice as a difficulty choice. I don't even see "beginner" I'll look again.

Reply to Ummm ... can we have about three more levels of difficulty BELOW beginner? in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I agree, there should be at least a "cake walk" level like GC2 had, if SD is unwilling to nerf the AI bonuses on easy. OT: In the games I've played so far, only once has the AI used magic against me. All other battles were strickly military. This game really should be called "Fallen Palidin" not FE, because magic is underpowered and/or rarely used.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="3264801"]The start of the game can be difficult. It's a good idea to expand with pioneers or rush with troops/ early. And you should have a plan with your researching. Depending on your sov/faction and available resources, you might want to avoid researching into the magic tech tree for some time. Generally the first levels of the other two trees will serve you much better early on. As for spells, you need to

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="1" id="3264798"] Honestly I'm getting fustrated. SD claims the AI doesn't cheat, but how does it grow so powerfull so fast. Why is it always multiples of my power rating? The AI starting points do not have the same luxuries that you have around your starting points. For example, the AI has many many more monsters to deal with around their starting points (thus more xp and loot). Secondly, the AI probably does a lot more diplomacy t

AI is very challenging on easy in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I've played about 4 games so far, and I've lost every one of them by a wide margin. The AI power ratings are usually 5-10 higher than mine. I've tried different playing styles. One where I concentrated on magic, the other military. Even when I did a straight path down the miliatary tech tree and churned out a bunch of units, the AI always had larger armies, and more powerfull units. Magic path? Forget about it. Magic in this game seems very underpowered relative to

Fallen Enchantress crashes after 12 minutes of play in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Hi, I just purchase FE through Steam without any issues. After 12 minutes of the tutorial, the game crashed. I rebooted and tried again. This time it crashed after a couple of minutes. It seems to happen a couple of moves after the "explore east while training pioneer task." Please help. I'm having Elemental flashbacks... Thanks!

Additionally, could you right click and verify that the cost has indeed increased by 50%? Do you have any research treaties with minors or majors? One other thing to check that may be obvious (as it would have other, more far-reaching side effects) is to ensure that you have not somehow been hit by the plague, as th

TA 2.0 Research Bug in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

It's happening again.... I'm playing as the Korath. I view my research options. Enhanced miniturization will take 14 turns, so I decide to focus on missle defenses. I research up to the third or fouth missle defense, and then decide to do enhanced miniturization. Somehow, it jumped from 14 to 21 turns. I didn't change my research rate. i didn't change any priority settings on the planets. Anyone else experience this?

Reply to GCII - Espionage in a more Customizable Galaxy in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="6" id="1883232"] Tech score helps with invasions (albeit only slightly), and some techs that may be "obsolete" might have innate bonuses (warp drive, for instance). How smart would you want this algorithm to BE? .[/quote] I guess I don't understand your point. If my ships already have warp drive 2 installed, why would I want warp drive 1? Makes no sense for a spy to steal it.

Reply to GCII - Espionage in a more Customizable Galaxy in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

A couple of quick thoughts I think there should be a way to nulify a passive spy, or a least protect against them (e.g.the hunter-seeker algorithym in SMAC) Tech stealing. I understand it's random, but there is no sense in a spy stealing laser I if you already have laser II (for example). There should be a built in check that prevents a spy from stealing an "obsolete" tech. My two cents
