Issue 01: New units appear outside of the city. In may case each time I train a unit they are killed by the monsters that await outside the city.

Reply to A Reminder: FE will be terrible and give you a disease in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

each player in FE has its own strategy. We’ll be talking a lot about how to make it so Altar plays differently than Pariden in a way that players will easily observe. If armies end up similar on all sides, we did something wrong and will have to work at it. Great news, my biggest fear about FE was each AI using the same AI routines and following the same strategies; ala WOM. Many thanks for working to make each fraction play differently.

Cool: "And according to the map [I’m not sure if we should get to see this], Xander is training Archers." The AI never trained archers or Worg Riders in EWOM.

Champion: Spider Enchantress in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

In FE Champions can be the source of spells, so why not a champion with a unique focus: Spiders. The spider enchantress is a master of training, breeding and controlling giant spiders. She is a master of spider magic. Recruit the Spider Enchantress and you can; 1. Research spider riding and have your units ride into battle on giant spiders 2. Gain access to spider themed spells Summon Giant Spider Cast Web on your opposing unit to fre

I like of idea of the spell knowledge being linked to Champions that you recruit. It really increases the importance of recruiting champions - and opens up the door to creating more unique champions. I may try my hand at modding a Fallen Spider Enchantress Champion skilled in the use of spider magic, once the beta ships (I.e. a champion that knows a few unique spells related to spider magic: Summon Giant Spider, Web (to ensare the enemy), Spider Swarm to reduce ini

"(1) Its researching isn’t very good. This is a known issue that is due to the AITraits not being hooked up yet. This means its armies aren’t as big as they could be." I wonder how the AI is going to decide between going for quick advances vs more expensive longer term advances such as worg riding and whether each AI will have a tendency to make the same choice. How will it decide between civil, military and magic research and will it ever decide to favor magic a

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="31" id="3047377"]You have it backwards. Scripting results in the same strategy. The AI will play each game differently because the data of each map is different. [/quote] Interesting take. I look forward to seeing how the AI works in the beta. My fear was that without some scripting that you would not see; for example, one of the AI's use the the Sherman's March to the Sea Strategy - where the AI builds a large army, cap

Historically, if an army commander/king dies untrained levies tended to break and run. If a sovereign falls in battle will his troops be affected? Will they panic, will they run, will their combat strength be affected or will their initiative be impaired for the duration of the battle?

Reply to AI: Testing Difficulty Levels in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Thanks for the update. 2 Questions: Question - Is there a single AI or will AI players have a chance to use a different AI each game? I.e. AI 1 and AI 2 use the standard melee focused AI, while AI 3 is guided by a magic focused AI in game two. In game 2; AI 1 follows a mount strategy AI while AI 2 and AI 3 use the standard melee AI. Question - Will the player be able to design new fraction (Sovereign) specific AIs?

Will there be an option to select the AI routine that a custom sovereign uses? Example: If I create custom Soveregin called Lloth, will I be able to link this fraction to specific strategic AI routine? - i.e. a magic focused AI that is used when this sovereign is an AI opponent.

1. I like the idea of reasearch unlocking access to more spell(s). (see the rituals technology description example above). 2. I really, really like the idea of some technologly advancements such as worg riding taking a really long time to research. Its gives the player a nice trade-off: Do I research the Worg Riding that takes 4x longer to research than Archery. Can I survive until I unlock Worg Riding? 3. My key questions are: Will each AI player

Sovereign with an Evil AI in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

I would like to see a chance for an Empire Sovereign to have an evil AI that executes a scorched earth campaign of total war. What is an Evil AI? Its an evil dedicated to pillaging, plunder and destruction. This AI learns magic to drain the land of life and lives to ensalve and erradicate the people of the kingdoms. Kingdom cities and outposts that it captures are likely to be razed to the ground and its residents enslaved. Unlike the standard AI the Evil AI foc

Nice, really nice. Reminds me of the critical injury cards in Pathfinder RPG. I can imagine: Severe Burn from magic use misfire reduces charisma Cowardly reputation for fleeing the battle reduces charisma What happens if you lose two ears? Can you lose three ears? If the sovereign is killed in battle does his army surrender or suffer a morale related penalty? Will untrained units lose spirit and flee the battlefield?

What I really like is that with each game you can encounter different wildland(s). This really ups the replayability factor. I do hope though, that each wildlands has a different tactical AI strategy so that each wildland's campaign gives the player a vastly different tactical battle experience.

I wonder, will there be a quest or a diplomacy event that triggers a wildland(s) army to issue forth to to attack and destroy (they don't conquer, they destroy) settlements that are too close to them? An event that rarely happens, but when it does bewarned for the army/horde coming forth will be strong and hard to defeat as its minions are strong and its magic powerful.

I agree with Sir_Linque about AI personalities and quests. Some AI's might go after only high reward quests. Some might seek out champion quests to recruit or slay champions. Some might go after only easy quests; i.e. kill rats. Others may seek to complete only magic item quests or Alliance Quests (i.e. rescue my son and my fraction will ally with yours).
