Reply to [POLL] Lets vote on the stuff we most want improved! (0.77) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="39" id="3072396"]The results are on post no.2 , on the first page. But maybe this was not such a good idea to make two posts. Having them on the original post would be better, since the OP shows on all the pages. I will edit it a bit later.[/quote] Ahhh.. I found them. Yeah- putting it in the OP would help as this (hopefully) will span multiple pages. Thanks for the work putting this together. I imagine Stardock knows pretty well their

Reply to [Suggestion] Show number of shards in tactical combat screen. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="greggbert" reply="5" id="3072303"]THat's good to know. But the tool tip currently does not tell you how many shards you have, only what the shard calc is for the spell. It will tell me the spell does 3 damage per water shard but it doesn't tell me that I have 2 water shards so it will do 6 damage.[/quote] When you highlight over the unit you'd hit for damage, it should tell you the damage just like with melee attacks (I believe). But whe

Reply to [0.77] Govern Memory Leak in FE Support Elemental Forums

Ahh... I haven't used those much since one of those areas has been under construction, but that's really strange it would keep incrementing every time. Must be adding each click as a new instance, which sure seems like a bug.

Reply to Why Tactical Combat is Boring in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Agreed on all fronts. Something more needs to happen with Territory & Tactics, Classes & Talents, and Units and Monsters. There just isn't meaningful strategic depth yet to these areas, which makes the game bland. The initial game is fun, but re-playability suffers greatly when everything is the same from one game to another. Some ways to addresses this by Stardock would be: 1. More content/variety. Both in equipment, units, and monsters. 2. Better incorpor

Reply to [Suggestion/Balance] Stat Overhaul in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Your concepts here are good. I find the stats confusing, some unnecessary, and overall balance poor. Then again, that's what they expected to find in the beta and have taken some great steps to correct it already. Still, I'm hoping for a stats overhaul/improvement like you suggest. The game's mechanics are overly complex, missing UI elements to help it make sense and need a second look.

Reply to [Suggestion] Quests and research in FE Beta Elemental Forums

That would be a really great intersection of game mechanics. We already have the reverse. We could even get crazy and suggest a quest would not just unlock the ability to complete the quest, but maybe the quest's reward would be learning a new technology that's not researchable, either instantly or via spending research points.

Wow. That's a good (and funny) find. In most cases, are the monsters attacking the sovereign because he's in their territory or is the sovereign being foolish trying to attack a monster he/she can't defeat?

Reply to [BUG 0.77]? Big white blobs on the map. in FE Support Elemental Forums

I haven't had that, but I've had sparkle effects show up in the fog of war, from shards, I believe. Most of that was taken care of in one of the recent patches, but I haven't had that white blob issue. What video card do you have (brand and model)?

Reply to [Suggestion] Greater differentiation of damage types and weapons in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I like the ideas, but regardless of whether it was these changes or the current system, if they're going to bother to have different damage types, armor bonuses need to be displayed against each instead of just as a number that during battle you discover is different. I like the strategic element different types adds, but right not it's not really easy to adjust against/for even if I wanted to do so. I certainly like the idea that different weapons would use different skills o

Reply to [Suggestion] Show number of shards in tactical combat screen. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yes! It's good the tooltip tells the info, but I want it to show me the info, too. One workaround- you can cast the spell (if it requires a target) and when you highlight the enemy it will tell you the value. If you don't like it, you can right-click to end the spell. Found this out today.

[Suggestion] Clicking on resources built should show details in FE Beta Elemental Forums

When I choose the Build option on a resource to claim it as my own, I can't see any additional information for it. Let's say I want to see how many horses my stable is producing. Where can I find that info? It's not displayed on the resource itself (a bug), but I'd also like to see more information about the resource itself. This applies to mines, horse/warg locations, shards, apiaries, etc.

The options are Sparse, Normal, and Dense. And then the Difficulty tooltip doesn't mention anything in regards to preference/non-preference given to AI players.

[Suggestion] [.77] Items or quests should display the receiving unit's name in FE Beta Elemental Forums

It's common where one of my champions/sovereigns gets and item or is prompted for a quest. I click OK and then my focus is shifted to one of my other units. While the focus problem needs to be resolved (as found here https://forums.elementalgame.com/416820 ), even short term just putting the champion/sovereign/army's name would help a bit. Something like: Lady Irene received: 3 Gildars [OK]<

Yes. Please fix this! I actually filed a bug for the same issue- https://forums.elementalgame.com/416729 . I find it similarly annoying when one of my guys finds something, but because he's out of moves after clicking OK I'm whisked to another hero, leaving me to play detective for which champion got the item.
