Reply to [0.95] Pacing at the start is waaaaaaay too slow in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lantros" reply="6" id="3207602"]I don´t have a prob. with the pacing in generally. But now with beta 4 on every ressource i build is in the queue. Before beta 4 it was only the ressource directly beside your city. That slows down city-development and building up military... At the moment i don´t like that. But i haven´t played much. Maybe i only have to get used to it. [/quote] The intention is to make you have to

Reply to [0.95] Pacing at the start is waaaaaaay too slow in FE Beta Elemental Forums

My first impression was that pacing was great for production, but abit too fast on research. This is playing normal speed. Researching the first military techs goes so fast you can have a spearman in leather ready to be produced after building a first building and a pioneer in the capital. No reasons to make the first military techs free, they make you have to choose harder in the start what to research first. The only prob is it's kind of a non brainer choosing the 2

Wow, was planning to sleep some hours, then play whole night before work tomorrow. Now I'll need to start playing at once. See you! :)

Tactical combat should only be made more complex if they think the AI can handle it. I also would rather see some other features improving strategical depth before more ressources spent on the complexity of tactical combat (If more ressources are ready to be used..... ;)). That said, for this type of game, an RPG fantasy grand strategy, tactical combat is important, but I think it works good enough in FE now. Of course, everything can always be made better.

Wow! It playes out just like I hoped and thought after reading the visions for Beta 4 some weeks ago. I can't wait to play this pearl of a game. I love how you have to make tough decissions in your city build queue now. This will be great fun, and was what was missing the most from the previous betas. I really look forward to develop my cities and outposts now. After release I will only miss MP and sea and naval stuff. Perhaps some Dynasty dynamics, Minor City States

The best counter is bows and magical long distance strikes..... :D Or just being powerfull enough to take him out. It doesent take to much to be almost certain of victory, it's just a bear.... ;)

Reply to Two really frustrating things: Maul and "fake" quests. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I support MP alot, but hope they won't base the game mechanisms on MP but a good SP game. If I kow the Frog correctly they will make it a grand SP game and then hopefully transform the same game experience to MP. I'd rather look at it this way in a potential MP game: Be extra cautious before you involve yourself in battles with uncertain results, so it won't cripple your start.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="21" id="3197022"]Still, going from full HP to dead based on luck is a bit much (say if an enemy gets 5 or 6 hits in), which is why a limit of four successful hits each attack might be a good way of providing SOME luck without providing MOSTLY luck. [/quote] Well, you know how maul works. Avoid attacking that bear if you need luck to win the fight. Take the chance if you're desperate, or really wants to get rid of it for some reason. That's a

Reply to Two really frustrating things: Maul and "fake" quests. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm bored by players that want the game never to punish the player. Also bored by games that don't. If you fear maul, avoid creatures with it, or be sure you have some good long range weaponry or spells that can help you out. It's nice that the combats has other aspects then just pure HP vs HP...... The maul really adds to the uniqueness of the bear in a very goodway I must say. I'd hate to be 100% sure winning before every battle vs those weaker on paper creatur

Hell yes! I just made 2 friends of mine buying Endless Space, they'd never if it wasnt for the MP. Now I wish for MP in Fallen Enchantress and GalCiv2 or 3. These are much better games and I'd love to play them MP. (But still want the main design focus to be the making of good SP game features. For instance I'd love features like the GalCiv2 ship designer also availble in MP games, and I want the Elemental tactical battles in my MP experience of

[quote who="RedDwarf999" reply="34" id="3194299"]You know what I didn't like about this game? When a random monster could walk into a town and destroy it really quickly. Play for 3 hours and your best city is demolished. It should be more like the city is just inconvenienced by the monster. Some penalty for some time. Or the monster raids the town and makes off with a princess/prince (whatever) and a quest is generated. I was real excited about this gam

Remember multiplayer Jon. I have always dreamt about playing GalCiv in MP. Would make it being played by me as much as I play Civ5 and Europa Universalis3 (and that's alot, perhaps too much.....). ;)

Reply to The state of Steam in 2012 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I use Steam for Civilization 5. The positive thing is how easy it is to arrange multiplayer games via the Steam group No Quitters. This is primarly a Civ group, with ca 700 members now, but with a working MP for fallen Enchantress I'm sure we'd like to play Elemental FA as well. I think going Steam will give Stardock a huge market potential. We will advertise the game to our steam friends/group buddies and if they can find the game right there at Steam they will buy it. Especial

Jon Shafer's new game in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

What title for Stardock do you people think he is working on? Is it obvious it's GalCiv3, I really hope so, or can it be another title? I'm sure it's turn based strategy at least, perhaps a Stardock Civilization clone, that would have been amazing! Feel free to speculate lads and ladettes!

Reply to [0.915] Game Pacing in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Why shall you be able to kill everything you see at the first glance? It's much more fun to try to avoid monsters, or feel it's a real risk or heavy investment if you really want the worst bad asses out. I like the pace, and think ppl don't liking it tend to wait building units until they have leather armour. Without scouts or starting support troops it get's abit riskier out there, and more clicking just end turn.

I like the pace now, so radical changes in pace is not needed, and would make your early decissions less valuable. Better add a super fast mode for those not blessed with any patience..... ;)

Reply to Multi-Tile City discussion in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

I'm all in favor for one tile cities, and always have been. It will make design of sieges easier as well, no more snaking and teleporting. Late game maps will look soooo much better too, with alot more open land. Just remember to give the cities a good zone of control (and make it a bad choice to build everywhere and on little furtile land), I don't want cities to be buildt so close in this game as in the Civilization series. I want alot of countryside and forests and wi
