[quote who="Fistalis" reply="31" id="3109264"]Actually looking forward to this. I actually wish they would just remake alot of older games with updated graphics since its apparent that when they try to continue an old series the new generation of devs inevitably kill everything that fans of the series enjoyed.[/quote] So maybe when "fans of the series" are dead, companies will be allowed to be creative (sometimes for good, sometimes for bad) with the licenses that they buy?

Nice new leather cuirass texture. :) I hope that in general, and even if slowly, stuff gets more options in their prereqs department. Not just because of Paths but they are one part of the game that would benefit greatly of that. Totally against running in place.

When? At release (as most late date to release it). You will be loved for it.

Scared of releasing new games becuase of rabid fans that only want "new stuff like the old stuff"? Try a remake! :p Hint to Atari: MoM Enhanced = Profit.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="16" id="3108439"]It spoils the fun because the randomness takes away from what and who my nation is. Picking a sov, picking a faction should lead to a certain play style. Strategy games are about planning. Oh great, my faction has access to super bows, even though they use mages instead...or are weak and have access to masterwork plate...I would rather be able to fit the appropriate tech tree to fit my race, sov, and

Of those three, the blood river certainly looks the most awesome. The corrupted river doesn't seem to... er.. it seems too "flat"? I like it but compared to the others it's less impressive (the white trees are more likely to catch my eyes than the river itself). Probably it's just me though. :) Nice job! :D

Reply to March 14 quickie video in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

What is that crest (Kingdom_Crest_04) that Miloth has along his talents? Placeholder for what? The changes to weapons are cool. Besides units having abilities, I hope that weapons can get quite different even between those of the same kind. I do wonder if there can be an scenario in which I may choose to create a unit using dagger (bandit like) instead of longsword for some kind of obscure tactical reason and not just because of cost/production.

Reply to Not liking random and gear is OP in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Masterwork Armours, Masterwork Bows and Masterwork Weapons are three random ones. I don't remember right now if there are more. The look exactly the same as the regular ones. Some magic book maybe? I haven't tried lately but random techs only work (don't crash the game if they don't appear) if they are at the end of a research line (aka don't have other techs depending on them) which is the case of the masterwork techs.

Reply to You know how to make a sword? Really? in Science & Tech Elemental Forums

I thought that the real issue was that they don't find it fun in their game. But yeah, you are totally right. And even if one person knows, then he needs the time to teach that knowledge and have his students to be able to produce something useful, etc. Shouldn't we get stones as weapons? No tech required to hit people with them (ranged combat or not!).

Reply to Not liking random and gear is OP in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I don't think I see new stuff here but as I don't remember answering to such stuff before: Tech trees: one tres of a thousands, doesn't matter. We are still talking prerequirements and the actual number of trees is just "eye candy". I have played with initial techs unlocked (and allowed the AI to do so, of course) and it certainly plays different. But the option should be in the game creation screen where we should get (between other many lacking options) the option to sta

Who are these Resolyn everybody talks about and why do people obsess about an aligment chart? Aligment charts have been always been a guide, not a rule. Old school Paladins are ruled by class and not the aligment, so they could act like ass if they wanted... just would lose class stuff and (this for everybody) even get an aligment shift if most of their actions don't match regularly with their declared aligment. Plus that pic can be just an example. The XMLs only have tag for mora

[quote quoting="post"]Broadly speaking, each faction will receive unique equipment, weapons, armor, items, improvements and abilities. While most of our focus will be on making each faction distinct in how you play, we will be working to make them visually different as well. A Wraith city will look different from a Trog city which will look different from a Krax city and so on. [/quote] There goes memory usage, I guess? Good news though, even if it gets me doomed to play me

Reply to [eLIB] UnitStat Background Mod v.ZG for FE in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I was wondering about some kind of _IsMasterwork UnitStat but I cannot actually think of an scenario where to use it. After all, you can have a masterwork weapon but many pieces of masterwork armour. I do like the change for the weapons (ie _IsAxe). Does it make sense to have here stats based on the type of damage? In my case I know that my Blade Dancer needs to work with blades no matter the length of those blades (as long as they belong to one-handed weapons).
