[quote who="AeonSkyBlue" reply="17" id="3355036"] I don't like the armor upgrade process. I would like to be able to pick what slot I want to upgrade to what item to be able to manage upgrade costs and preserve or get other stats besides defense. [/quote] It would be nice to do incremental upgrades and choose to go to each level instead of only to the highest version. There are times when I might not want or be able to go to the highest level but should be able to do a parti

Another idea would be to have folks pick a research item right away independent of founding a city. Might be good to have it that way so if a champion starts with a research benefit that would still work, too.

For a while there I know Trojasmic was using an old save (.80 or .85) with .87. Maybe that's the cause of the crash?

Reply to Impatient: Patch Notes for .90, NAOWWWW!! ;) in LH Support Elemental Forums

I'm hopeful that LH will hit one more public beta prior to release since there are still 2 weeks yet. Derek went through a flurry of patching/fixing a few iterations ago, which was awesome. Would love to see that again as people (myself included) continue to find some additional bugs, crashes, and balancing that would really help a 1.0 release. Even if a public beta doesn't happen prior to release, I'm confident SD will keep their awesome work up that they've started.

Reply to Buildings? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

The brilliant design Derek has created with buildings is that the real costs to building a building is the opportunity cost it creates, like Ipisko mentions. If you build a building, you can't build troops. Also, there tend to be multiple things you can build at a given time. You're forced to make tough choices: *Should I increase my mana per turn by building on a shard? *Should I increase my income per turn by building a Merchant? *Should I build a pioneer to

Seems pretty reasonable. If you've destroyed/assimilated another faction, that should be fame-worthy.

I really hope this is fixed in the next patch (hopefully soon!). I'd also through the troop management screen into there as well. Every time I try to use it- CRASH!

Reply to Hero Exp Split- Bad Design or Really Bad Design? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="jwallstone" reply="152" id="3354405"]I'd like to point out another weird aspect of XP splitting. The XP your troops get is dependent on the XP your heroes get, so having 2 heroes in a stack actually halves the XP each of your troops get as well. Troops don't split XP, but they are affected by XP split. It's completely unintuitive and nonsensical.[/quote] What?! Wow. If that's the case, that's really bad news.

Reply to Hero Exp Split- Bad Design or Really Bad Design? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

While I'm in favor of reducing/eliminating the XP split with armies of more than one champion, one major issue is that the UI REALLY needs to convey this to the user. In the current state, it's not obvious how XP is divided (or that it is happening at all). Grouping the champions together and showing the XP coming out of one pool for the two (or more) of them seems like a good way to convey this.

Reply to Are XP bonuses cumulative? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

This topic hits on two great points: 1. Whether or not the bonuses are cumulative is confusing in its current state, further compounded by how they're displayed on a given unit since only the highest trait is displayed. 2. The different trees require you to follow them down too far, while also having quite a few bad options to choose from. It certainly seems that specializing a hero in one area is the intent here. I don't mind that, but you feel so restricted and somet

Also, don't forget to build outposts. I had usually ignored them, but they're critical to doing well in the game for a few reasons: 1. They give you access to resources to help your empire without adding unrest, as well as adding a Zone of Control (preventing the AI from taking the area initially). 2. Once you research the appropriate technology, a road will be built to that outpost, which makes it very handy for moving troops around. 3. Outposts (with the prop

I'm personally very happy they took out encumbrance. It was an unnecessary mechanic to accomplish restrictions that could be achieved in other ways. Now, some of the nerfing of other things may need to be reviewed, but there are still a few weeks left prior to release. I'm continually amazed at Derek's ability to identify weak points in the game and make them better. He'll continue to do that.

Same thing is true of other consumable items, like the Beast Collar. Not sure on healing items, though I imagine they're prone to this as well. I've had to auto-resolve a lot of combats and reload because of this one. You should be able to cancel out and still retain the item.

Reply to [0.87] - Champions not sharing quest xp in LH Support Elemental Forums

Well, the current Quest screen only shows one champ/sov there. Maybe this is the side-effect of that? I can understand that maybe quest XP is only supposed to be assigned to your heroes instead of units, but if you have a stack with multiple that help complete it, each should receive the bonuses, too, or have it split between them.

The slow animation issue was present in .85, too. Agreed that bows seem underpowered. With their slow initiative and the general bent toward units defending more often now, the regular bowman unit isn't a huge benefit.

Reply to [.85][.87] Big graphical glitches in LH Support Elemental Forums

Strange. I have a Radeon 7770 and it displays fine (which is just a lower version of your 7850 to a certain degree). Is it possible you're running some other software that may be interfering? For instance, either FRAPs or some other video capture? Or do you use Window Blinds or other Stardock software? I could see either of those causing a conflict.

Reply to [0.87][Small rounding bug] in LH Support Elemental Forums

Interesting. I wonder what in there might rounding. I don't think your traits used any % increases, did they? It would also be interesting to create a unit of that type and check the overview attack # of the entire stack to what it shows individually and then also via the tooltip.
