I like the idea of a dragon Sov - could then make multiple copies and dragon vs dragon goodness. Could you make your final result available as a download please? Thanks

Bloodthirsty seems way more powerful than emnity.. could be wrong though.

Reply to Tarth needs some love in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

The faction - double strike and archery are nice. The blood trait - +3 attack and initiative if in groups of 3 or less, is less so. I'll never even hire a tarth champion unless I want to eat him or steal his gear. I'm experimenting with upping the blood trait to see if it interests me. Last game was +5/+5... still not really enough to make a stack of 3 really worthwhile unless its your super sov. Going to try +

Reply to Humorous observation - I keep running into myself... in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I usually create a bunch of custom factions and usually only have 1 primary Sov for each - which I usually name after family members :) Its fun.. after awhile I usually have games against all custom sov's since they seem to do pretty well in comparison. I'm experimenting with teams now, seeing if it helps the AI out at all. Dad's side is all empire, Mom's side is all Kingdom...

Reply to Duplicate text when modify CoreAbilities.xml? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

So, seems the game will load core files in the mod directory regardless of where they stand. I took coreabilities created 2 additional copies coreabilities_blood - I removed everything but the racial blood traits coreabilities_no_blood - I removed all racial blood traites I backed up the base core abilities I took the blood version, renamed it back to base and put it in the game folder (not the mod folder) I

Reply to Duplicate text when modify CoreAbilities.xml? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Would it work to move the coreabilities.xml file to a backup folder in the LH\data\english folder and then copy it to the mods\data\english folder - and make the changes to the one in the mods folder? It seemed to work for me, but I just realized I may have lost all my racial/blood abilities... Need to find them again :)

How do I set up great start locations but not modify all other settle locations in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I like to start on a x/4+/2+ location and I'll generally CTRL-N till I get one. I got sick of that and now I modified the elementaldefs.xml to only show minimum production of 4 and only manually decrease tile yield at 15 (trying to get some higher essence tiles). It feels more broken than I would like - there are now 6/4 and 5/5 spots. I'd just really like to have a good start location and then all the other settle locations be natural.

Reply to First and Subsequent Settlements in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I generally CTRL-N till I get a tile with at least 4 production and 2 essence - and I've since created a modified version of elementaldefs.xml to make it easier. Unless I can find a 3 essence tile, then I'll settle for 3 production... maybe. Regardless of food, that 4 production and 2 essence will be the heart of my empire as a fortress. Production is key in general, especially when the war machine starts - high production both gets you to war fo

Agree with much of what is said. XP needs to be looked at Traits need to be looked at - too long to get to fun stuff. Probably increase picks - 1 general, 1 skilled - or 2 total from wherever Also agree to remove the potential picks - i always pick them, so 4 on a mage - and THEN it seems i can do some leveling Traits are generally underpowered - +1 attack. whee. + 10% attack... maybe. I do agree the random aspect w

Daynarr - Yes please, got any new bonuses too? One of my favorite aspects is changing the game by creating custom factions and sov's - I really like customization. GalCiv had some great racial customizations. Kias - definitely agree, although I think both strengths and weaknesses should be augmented.

Reply to Suggestion: Unit size as a balancing concept in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Doh, I get it now - was completely on a different track. Your change is smaller, more elegant and probably easier to implement. Devil's advocate: I don't think a non-recruitable/non-summonable unit should be able to be increased. - i.e. a black widow acquired through beastlord should not be able to increase group size, while a Resoln/hundred eyes faction should be able to increase. Not sure how tough that would be.

Reply to [BALANCE 0.80] Sovereign starting professions in LH Support Elemental Forums

Yay MA or Stormwind (been awhile so can't remember) had some really nice professions. The game in general has very limited options for increasing movement, unless you go all mounted (which there is no reason why you wouldn't want to), especially now that tireless march is limited. One of the professions had blah blah AND +1 army movement, was AWESOME. Mobility/logistics are hugely important.

Reply to Suggestion: Unit size as a balancing concept in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Good points, but the issue is - an army of 9 dragons would be very difficult to match. I think you DO increase the max army 'Size' limit, possibly significantly to whatever the engine can handle. Do you want to be able to have 9 dragons vs 9 dragons? Is the equivalent due to "size" (not power) 72 champions (@1) or 24 Jugs (@3)? probably not - so maybe some lore rule comes in that no two of the same dragon can ever be in the sam

Reply to Suggestion: Unit size as a balancing concept in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I like the idea as well. Will be tough to get the right balance, but should be possible. IMO a juggernaut is powerful, but not necessarily that "big". Possibly equivalent in size to a cavalry squad, but probably not. Do you equate 1 Jug with a group of 4 infantry, maybe 4 cavalry? there is a lot of potential. Just writing/thinking out loud With that said - if I can only have an army of my single drag

Ascian's 2 movement make it unexciting. I usually use the collar on an escaped juggernaut unless I'm really hurting for heroes. Ongr is just more interesting :)

Reply to [0.80] Late game is really very boring in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Since TL;DR, I'm going to put an idea up front: Here's an idea - once that tipping point is reached and the game can tell its toast. A mega hero arises and unites the opposing nations - both empire and kingdom For the next X turns he and his band are traveling to super spiffy mountain to do something heroic Upon success the hero and all surviving (some could heroically die) sidekicks get more powe

Reply to Shield bash is the opposite of what shield users want to do in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Yeah.. or a "Bash" like the name says :) I just want to 'stun'/daze/delay the mob while keeping them in reach. Since stun is at the end of the defenders tree for some reason, it might be considered overly powerful. If that's the case, maybe a 2-3 turn reduction in initiative, something significant though like -5 or -10. Knockback is of limited use if they can just retake that spot next turn.

Reply to Map generation fun in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Depending on the game - I sometimes prefer those positions. When possible I like to be able to focus everything on one front. Build up to that point where you think the AI hasn't exceeded your power by 10 and then take a city. If the enemy is close, defend like hell - hoping the benefits of defense offsets some of the power difference. If the enemy is out exploring, take a couple more cities and work a war of attrition if you c

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="13" id="3342705"] To me this issue is not about 'min/max', but rather 'what complements my empire best at this point in the game?' Supposedly choosing a hero is a big decision. I should be able to interview the potential candidates and go through a full screening process before making a decision. Hiding the details just makes the decision a stab in the dark, rather than an informed decision. AFAIK, stra
