Reply to Settling New Cities Help in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Seems more likely a bugged game. I have a lot of hours in this game and have never seen the AI do that. I have seen them beat me to a spot by one turn. All too often! There are also a couple of other possibilities off the top of my head: 1. The AI cast the spell that improves the land. 2. There was a city too close on your turn that the AI razed, which would allow the AI to see new buildable spots. (You don't see tile yields when there is a city too close to that s

Reply to tech trading in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

What happens is as you find new technologies you earn tech points. (basically a percentage of what you just researched) Then you are able to trade these tech points, which apply directly to the field of their type. Meaning you will get x number of points towards that type of research. To view this in action, open your tech tree before you trade and you will see all of the un-researched techs completely empty except for the one you are currently re

[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="5" id="3578633"] these are fantastic changes! So, um, ETA? [/quote] Thought they said in the stream yesterday that it was opt-in today, another possible opt-in on Tuesday and then final release next thursday.

Reply to Tireless March [Bug] can be cast on multiple units. in Sorcerer King Support SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="ScottTykoski" reply="3" id="3578395"] So lets say you have a 'Doom Stack' of 7 awesome guys. For the horrible maintenance fee of -7 Mana per turn you can raise that stack's speed by 1...I don't see how this is a game-breaking issue [e digicons]:\[/e] [/quote] If it stacks wouldn't that be +7 movement for the whole army, or am I reading the OP wrong?

Reply to MS: “All your base is belong to us”. Using your bandwidth to update other PCs. in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Seems this only works after installing Win10, meaning if you haven't installed yet, you have no worries. Also, you can turn off that sharing. The nasty bit is that it defaults to on. Tsk tsk, MS.

Ring of Mastery in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

Does this ring apply to sovereign cast spells? If so, will that be affected by the patch where the unit no longer loses its turn? Interested to hear which unit people are equipping this ring on...

Reply to Sorcerer King Dev Stream (July 29th) at 3pm EDT, Noon Pacific in Sorcerer King News Elemental Forums

Just finished watching the replay, pretty good stream, missed the live version :( Looked like a fun episode to be there live, although I kept thinking- "Adam, give Drogon that shield in your inventory!" (Hope I didn't miss him giving one, I probably did and sound like a fool, lol!)

Reply to Proposed doomsday floor mechanic in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

I really like this idea. The only downside I see is the bunch of crap we are going to see from the "I hate turn limits!" crowd. Implementing this will certainly bring the possible number of turns to a lower quantity.

As Heavenfall said, you can get a hero from each minor. Also, you can get units and resources from them as well.

Reply to [Request] Random minors in Sorcerer King Discussion Elemental Forums

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="1" id="3576466"] Agreed. Adding a random option which turns the portraits into question marks would be ideal. [/quote] That option is there, I'm just asking for it to be the default selection as you setup a new game. Currently it always has minors chosen.

[Request] Random minors in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

I'd love to see the minor races default to "Random" during game creation. Not exactly a huge deal because it is easy enough to change, but... Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Reply to Bought the game on release... in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

[quote who="blinkicide" reply="5" id="3575480"] Describes my playthrough on insane as well. Remained at 1 threat / 0 doom counter until turn 190 or so, after I killed both his lieutenants, then he declares war on me ONLY after 1 turn before he is about to lose the game. [/quote] You'd think killing either of his lieutenants should trigger all out war, no matter the threat counter.

Pedantic reply, but, your title should probably say 1.01 rather than 1.1.

Spike in LH players last two days in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

So as I was browsing the Steam forums for LH the last two days I noticed a sudden spike in the number of players. Yesterday it actually had a reading of 315-320 or so, where normally it doesn't show anything being below 300. Then today it is showing 540-550. Wonder where that surge of playing came from.

Mentioned the backporting of some of the things they've improved/fixed in SK back to LH. edit: That was either the wednesday or thursday stream of last week, forget which one. You can find that on youtube, and is mentioned in the last 10 or 15 minutes I believe. You'll kno

Don't think I've ever had a game where there wasn't one. Do you have the whole map revealed? Very possibly it is in some far corner.

Reply to Unable to centre attack with Rain of Arrows in Sorcerer King Support SorcererKing Forums

OH! That SK badge is new, isn't it? Does it only happen when posting directly from this forum? edit: checked from the FE forums and it seems my GC3 founder badge disappeared from my posts there, so I assume founders badges only show when posting from their respective forums now?

Reply to Unable to centre attack with Rain of Arrows in Sorcerer King Support SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="CrazyC0330" reply="5" id="3573600"] You're right, that is kind of an annoying restriction with those type of targeting spells. I have this fixed internally. Once it gets the 'ok' from QA we'll put it in a future build. EDIT: I should say that I've specifically fixed it for square-radius-type spells/abilities (Rain of Arrows) and 3-tile-adjacent type spells/abilities (such as the soldiers Cleave ability). If there are other ones

Reply to Modding in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

Heavenfall, you showing up after your name was said a couple times made me think of years ago when Derek Smart would show up in threads whenever his name was mentioned on gaming forums a la Beetlejuice. That got me to search out his name to see if he was still around the industry... lo and behold, still up to shenanigans, lol. Really brightened my day to see some things never change.
