Well your time is probably best spent if you wait for the next beta.

Reply to One Tile Cities: Portents, Predictions and Perdition in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I wouldn't mind some small buildings appearing outside the city tile when the city grows, in a purely cosmetic fashion.

Reply to Stability patch? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I hope you do realize that as they write new code and implement new features, they need to do stability testing all over again. They can't just make the game stable now and then have it stay as stable until the end of development. They're going to make the game plenty stable before it is released, don't worry.

Reply to My take of the game in its current state in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Not a lot of strategic potential in the current system unless the placement of buildings was made to matter a whole lot more. That would've been just as big of a change (even bigger, actually, and a lot riskier) than what Frogboy talked about. The tile placement system will surely be possible to be unlocked by modders.

Trojasmic, why do you mess up with people's heads like that? Some people might take you for serious.

Great post, lots of good points that any one of us can only give on first impressions. Valuable stuff for devs!

Reply to Terrain and World Building in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I would like to have cities appear a different way when built on different types of terrain. This would mean that it's possible and makes sense to build on desert / snow / volcanic terrain of course.

Reply to My take of the game in its current state in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The new system sounds exactly like what I had hoped for. Looking forward to it.

Reply to My take of the game in its current state in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Frogboy, thanks for letting in on that city building is going to change dramatically. That's the first time I heard this and I have been hoping to read it for a long time.

Reply to I need a good hiding place… in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I wouldn't hesitate to show the current build to the press. I remember my first reaction when trying out FE Beta 1, and it was completely positive, before I delved deeper into the issues. I think FE is in a state where you can show the game for a couple of hours and it will seem like a game that is shaping up nicely. The only thing from beta 2 I would really focus on fixing before showing it was city building. The tile placement system makes you go "uhh?" when there's no real

Reply to I need a good hiding place… in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I am completely unable to rate a beta like FE with a review score. The game is incomplete and has enough issues that I wouldn't play it in my free time if it were released as is. WoM and MOO3 both have inflated review scores in my opinion.

[UI] Items shown in the goodie message window should show their stats on mouseover in a tooltip. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

There's no reason why we need to go to the equip menu to look at the stats of the item we just got from a goodie hut.

[UI] Goodie huts don't need to pause the game in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I would like for the game not be paused in the background when you get a goodie hut, but rather the window hover over the screen like a notification that you can ignore if you want to that will close automatically after a certain amount of time or when a close button is pressed. Often goodie huts don't really give anything that you need to explicitly stop playing for and assess.

[UI] Goodie huts require one click too much in FE Beta Elemental Forums

When you get an item from a goodie hut, first you get a window telling you about the goodie hut, then you get a window telling about the item. Lots of unnecessary clicking. It would help tremendously if these messages were both in the same window.

Reply to [Thoughts and Impressions] Disappointment, Part 2 in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree with some of the troubles, but disagree with the solutions. Nothing as drastic as dynasties or an overhaul of tactical battles is required. I'm confident with FE.

Reply to So far on FE Beta in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I had trouble finding the spellbook as well. It's in an extremely unintuitive location. Also I'm used to C ('cast') or B ('book') opening the spellbook in these kinds of games.

Reply to Nice new indy game in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

The idea has tons of potential. Need to keep the game in mind. However it seems like the game will get really cluttered in the long run, judging by the videos and screenshots.

Reply to [merged] Reliquary 0.7 for FE 0.86 in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Well, let's say you want to mod in a very rare drop. Instead of having a single version of the drop, you want to have this drop have semi-random effect / stats, so you make 20 versions of the same item each with a different setup. The maximum rarity for such a dynamic drop is a 0.06% chance of dropping, or one in 2000. I'm sure it's not an issue in basic mods, but if someone happens to make a mod where you kill hundreds upon hundreds of monsters, drop rate limitations like

Reply to [merged] Reliquary 0.7 for FE 0.86 in FE Modding Elemental Forums

So that means that maximum drop rarity is 0.003%, or 1/33000. That's a definite unnecessary limitation in the system.

Reply to Warlocks must take Fire? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Would there be any sense in keeping damage spells restricted to Fire only? I don't know if it would work in practice, but wouldn't it be cool to have each school as really distinct from each other? For example: Fire: Direct Damage Earth: Summon, defense & raise/lower land Air: Movement, accuracy Water: City enchantments, terraform Death: Debuff, damage over time Life: Heal, unit enchantments

Reply to [.86][Feedback]Multi tiles cities are killing me in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I hate the tile placement system. Hate hate hate it. Which is strange, because I love Sim City, eye candy and all sorts of fun little micromanagement. I guess it turns out I don't like micromanagement that serves no purpose. Hate it. Must be given some purpose or axed.

Reply to X-Com: Enemy Unknown (New) First Footage in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I like everything except the "glam cam". That's some horrific shit that I hope can be turned off. I don't want to look through the barrel of the sniper at some mediocre 3D graphics every time I make a crit. One little thing that I really like a lot is that the nationality of the soldiers seems to be emphasized. Makes them become much more alive.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress - March BETA FAQ in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I'm with Frog on the AoW:SM tactical battles. I remember playing AoW:SM back in the day for quite a bit. Now I started it again and felt like the tactical battles were indeed too involved. It felt really "heavy" to play the game. Didn't take me long to quit the game and let it be. I did have fun the first go around, but nowdays the combination of hardcore strategy and hardcore tactical battles just felt like too much. To me, the tactical battles aren't the big issue in FE.

Reply to Friday Poll: Where to next! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The good thing is that people seem to begin to be pretty statisfied with the amount of gameplay content in the game. Months ago there was a lot of discussion about the low number of spells, and the lack of techs etc. Now the conversation has clearly shifted towards tweaking gameplay elements. Sure, City Management might need a lot of work still, and Tactical Battles would appreciate some more love, but it's hard to even comperehend how much better the atmosphere of the conversations are f
