Reply to [AI v 1.02] AI leaving treasure chests uncollected on Challenging level AI in FE Support Elemental Forums

I'm pretty sure this is what happens when they clear lairs with troops (their heroes are all off doing something else). It's somewhat understandable, they have other things in queue to do, and they can buy equips, so picking up loot is lower priority. Normally AI heroes are pretty good at picking up loot, sometimes they'll steal yours if you kill a lair and don't have the movement to loot. XD

He's worth... 18 gildar (if I remember correctly). Sell the scroll and think of it as a couple of wolf's pelt.

Reply to Please Stardock... stop the idea of nerfing the Jugs in FE Support Elemental Forums

As I posted in the change log thread.... Don't be fooled, it's really not that big of a nerf, as I explained here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/437525 The idea is to make the traits more interesting so that you'd have more varied Jugs designs (which is a good thing). They are only slightly weaker primarily due to brutal nature, but it barely changes anything because they are already a beast. Going from a def

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="3" id="3287269"] These are jokes right? You're not actually listening to stupid suggestions from forum users are you? If so, then how about implementing a couple of my stupid suggestions. 1. UI : Show the pathway movement (and how many turns to get there) before I click to move. 2. UI : Highlight the currently selected unit or city in the empire tree down the left side of the screen because it's too

[1.02][BALANCE] Altar Henchmen Tweaks in FE Support Elemental Forums

Over the weekend I've been playing with Altar's Henchmens (Altarian civil war) to tweak them a bit for balance. The idea isn't really to nerf them, but rather to tweak it so that the AI can put these guys to use a bit better to give them a bit of flavor when not played by the players... Anyways, here's what I came up with after a few trial runs: 1) Alter Henchmen Tech's prereq to require Heroes (internal: Recruiting) tech and Enchantment tech (instead

Reply to Need to know if something like this is possible to code (experienced modders please take a look) in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I'm pretty sure what you're looking for is UnitStat_CombinedAttack, look up Syphon Strength spell, it should be similar to what you're doing. Edit: bah, should have finished reading, nvm.

Look up the bandit profession, it can generate a unit at game start, just make a crappy henchmen unit and summon it the same way? (You'd have to add a similar ability to all leaders too, of course)

Reply to How to see & remove negative enchantments in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

There's a dispel enchantment on the tech tree ("Sorcery" in the magic tree), you have to research it. Seeing the enchantment is harder, in the city window you can see how many enchantments are on a city, so if there's more enchantment than essence slot available, there's a good chance that it has been cursed somehow. Unfortunately, their are some odd bugs with the counter there and sometimes shows more than it has. Realistically, you just have to keep an eye on your cities and kee

Reply to [1.0.2 BALANCE] I finally generated enough influence to cast Broken Loyalties in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

You can get it with Kraxis, just build a bunch of towns and pick embassies at lv4. Or buy the influence from your allies and steal your enemies' cities. If you're going for that strategy, you need to dedicate some work to it. If you lower the cost, it would become way too easy. Kraxis could just turtle all day to build up the influence and then use it to take a city, rinse, repeat.

Reply to [Question] Food bonus from a town to surrounding towns in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I have something a bit similar to this for one of the faction in my mod... what I did was create 2 improvements: a food exporter that reduces the amount of grain in the city by 1, and generates 10 gold for it, and a food importer that increases grain by 1 at the cost of 10 gold. Basically, you use gold to mediate this transaction, think of it as exporting to a world market and importing from it (I have it requiring high level economics tech). Note that the generated gold is affected b

Reply to [1.02] - Saved game showing the 'pioneer not expended bug' ! in FE Support Elemental Forums

I see this happen all the time, I'm pretty sure it always happens if the pioneer is in an army with a champion. I don't know why they haven't caught it yet. As for the outpost denial thing, when you build an outpost and creates a ZOC (or your own city ZOC grows out), it becomes unsettlable to other players, but YOU can still settle there. So the fact that he built an outpost and then settle nearby is actually normal I think.

Reply to [1.02] is the 'monsters salting the land' bug fixed for next patch? in FE Support Elemental Forums

It has been this way forever, people have complained forever, but it's working as intended. If you really want to resettle that spot, you have to research up the magic tree and use that rejuvenation spell. Learn from it, make some scouts, clear the area, learn to control ZOC, use tremor/freeze. If monsters aren't a threat, it takes away from that part of the game, you're suppose to be struggling to expand, not spam pioneers.

Reply to [1.02][BALANCE] Juggernauts in FE Support Elemental Forums

That's basically the idea behind my balance suggestions, it's not so much trying to nerf them, but rather it's to balance the traits out a bit so that you'd have more design options to make things more interesting. While they do end up slightly weaker overall, I don't feel like it has really hurt them (I've been playing around with these settings for a while), they can still be powerhouses mid game (they don't gain enough hp to complete with high end troops end gam

If I understand correctly (and I may be wrong) you're trying to buff path of the mage so that it has a high chance of getting magical picks, and can also gain elemental paths (include apprentice tier1 picks). If this is what you're trying to do... try this: [quote] &nb

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3285921"]Brutal nature to 50% wouldn't be as big a nerf as you think. They get a +100% for just being a Jug, and then another +100% damage for brutal nature. I think they should remove the brutal nature buff all together. 300% damage is way silly high.[/quote] It was never meant to be a big nerf. The point was to reduce the extreme effectiveness of the trait so that you would say, well I can live without it, and pick another tr

[1.02][BALANCE] Juggernauts in FE Support Elemental Forums

I've been playing around with Juggernauts and have come to a fairly decent solution for balancing these guys out, so I'll just toss this out as a suggestion to improving these guys: 1. Remove the 25% Splash Damage from base Juggernaut ability (this is mainly to help the AI because they can't handle the tactical positioning voodoo that is needed to make the most use of it). Reduce cost to 250 (from 400). 2. Move the 25% Splash Damage into Uncontrolled Rage, making i

Reply to City level-ups in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

As I mentioned near the bottom of my post, production just isn't very important to me because I pretty much buy everything I really need with gold, the excess stuff I just queue up and couldn't care less when they complete (although I've honestly never found myself in a situation where I really need those extra production). The growth is important for me because one of the highest gold generator in the game is the base town itself. Having high level cities is just the easiest way

Reply to City level-ups in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I actually use different builds depending on the city's role, so I'll toss this out there for consideration: Capital (town): 3) Grocer (10% HP) 4) Almshouse (+1 Prestige) 5) Mint of Ruvenna (+3g per mat) This is because all the trades comes into this city, so I always specialize it as a gold producer (often has the treasury vault).

Just because they have 0 dodge doesn't mean you can't miss, dodge is just a modifier to accuracy. If your accuracy is low this is actually quite normal, but even if it's very high, you only have a max chance of 97% to hit.
