[quote who="DsRaider" reply="3" id="3347700"]Also the system is far from weird. Many RPGs use a similar system for warrior heroes as a substitute for mana, for all the reasons listed above. Guild Wars is one example.[/quote] What's weird about it is that adrenaline is shared amongst the army. That's pretty counter-intuitive to my mind. I wouldn't expect that using shield bash would disable my other units abilities. It's also pretty easy to game. You h

I have dual monitors as well. I like that the mouse can escape to my other desktop without alt-tabbing. I left-click and drag to scroll around the mouse. So for me, it's a feature. But it should be an option.

Reply to [LH][Sug] Adrenaline in Tactical Combat in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

In my opinion, this is a bad idea. You're trying to address the "whoever moves first wins" problem (which is only a problem if you already have an overwhelming force at your disposal). There's no need for a new mechanic in the game, especially something so weird, when all that is required is balance. Weapon damage needs a nerf, HP needs a buff (especially champs). If you did that charge/cleave wouldn't wipe out the entire opposition and would leave your u

[quote who="Alstein" reply="30" id="3346795"]The xp system right now is another of my big concerns, I think it's causing a "degenerative" impact- making the unfun thing that optimal option, which is to have all your XP on your sovereign or one champion, and sticking your other champs in one city to get Adventurer's Guild benefits. I think there are a number of solutions here: The issue here is how to incentivize building multiple champs up, without causing the hero stack of doom.[/quo

If you want to be able to expand without interference from the AI until the late game, play a 1v1 game on a medium (or larger) map . That should give you plenty of opportunity to build up and explore without ever even meeting the AI.

Reply to Navies and That Big Blue Pond in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

The answer to why no boats is simple :the AI cannot handle it. Considering the difficulty the AI has with the land based game, and the sheer annoyance of boats in rats I am happy to skip that particular feature. I think the maps could use a warp stone feature which will transport units that entire the tile elsewhere on the map. I doubt the AI would understand that unless stardock included it in the base game, but that would make choke points a little less overwhelming.

Reply to {0.8}some toughts after steam rolling 3 games in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

It's really a question of balance. Heroes level too slowly. Units do too much damage and everyone needs a hp boost. There are too many traits and leveling is a slog. Many of the meatier skills are hidden behind meaningless ones. So not only do you have to struggle to level, the reward for leveling is frankly pathetic. If I were in charge I would change leveling so that it's a rare and wonderful effect. A champ or sov at level 10 would be uber powerful

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

To my mind there are two issues at play that could, without changing the underlying game, make late game more interesting. First and most straightforward the AI just isn't consistently good at the game. It doesn't take goody huts. It doesn't farm spawn points. It doesn't field armies worth a damn. It doesn't pick attributes with any purpose. And it doesn't use its most powerful spells .There'ss a rat's nest of interconnected issues a

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="22" id="3343872"] Actually, I think the monsters probably hurt the reception of Fallen Enchantress. For a new player, the danger of the monsters destroying cities is very real and makes those players feel powerless to do anything about it. This is lost on us that know the game and understand it better, but the roaming powerful monsters can feel random and undefeatable, which provokes the worst thing a strategy game can have, a feeling of unfairne

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

"Shield bash" should probably "Bash". So the unit is pushed back a tile and knocked down. Edit: to make it cooler, it should do the above and then give the defender another turn immediately. (Give shield bash a cooldown so you can't spam it.)

Ugh, I tried to find it. But it's buried pages down in some pre-FE-release thread. I remember it because I was on that thread saying "The monsters treat everyone the same" and then Frogboy came on and said, "On higher difficulties the monsters do not attack the AI." Which I was like "Huh"? Edit, again, no... that wasn't it. That was the post where Frogboy had convinced me that the monsters treat everyone the same.

Reply to [Bug][.80] Out of Traits to Select on Level Up in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

It's insanely stupidly easy to fix this problem and a host of other UI issues: The player should be able to close the level up dialog without picking a trait. Come back later and pick the trait you want. Same with city level ups. Same with picking champions. There's absolutely no reason to do these dialogs the way Stardock insists on doing it. It feels like I have been saying this forever, and I know it's never going to happen. Stardock is in
