[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="9" id="3096686"]How do you mean? If someone likes their free will, they are less inclined to use an item that takes it away.[/quote] What I mean is I believe if either side actually values their free will more it would be the empires. They are after all the more individualistic society. Whereas the kingdoms are more focused on heirarchy in society and maintaining social order. I believe a member of the kingdoms would be more willing to use the mace as a

[quote who="Pyrkaige" reply="4" id="3097478"]So far, most of the areas mentioned in the poll are getting better with each patch, which is great to see. One area that hasn't gotten a lot of attention: making the cities individually interesting, and overall joined as a culture. Having a lot of cities spammed all across the map, with even more area taken up by outposts, feels like a weak area of the game. As has been discussed elsewhere, individual cities should be give

You're using magic poorly if you don't find it useful. Spells like obscuring fog and guradian ward kick butt in archery battles. Focus + flame dart can help give your archers a leg up or cut through heavily armored troops. Flame pillar (strategic) can cripple or wipe out whole armies. Cloud walk gives you instant defense anywhere. Tremor can be used to stop raiding armies. Slow is great for taking out frighteningly powerful monsters. There's more.

Reply to When Is .87 Coming? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="LNQ" reply="10" id="3095703"] You can always have .100 after .99. Or .991. The numbers don't mean anything, except that 1.0 is the first release version.[/quote] Actually even that's not for sure. If you look at minecraft the betas went up to 1.8

Awesome! Except. Given the version numbers it sounds like you're gonna be at 1.0 within a month. I think the game needs more polish time than that.

Reply to [.86 Suggestion] Faction Differentiation 2 : Techs in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Beric01" reply="7" id="3095043"]It seems you ignored an obvious option. What about making these "Starting" techs more powerful and expensive? They don't have to be first-tier, even. It gives a bit more imbalance, but would be a lot more fun to play. What if I have my advantage for at least 40-50 turns?[/quote] How is that not exactly my idea #1?

My suggestions on faction differentiation. We really need faction differentiation somehow. Units Techs I focused my suggestion on what I thought would be relatively easy to implement and give a lot of bang for your buck. While I don't of course have any idea what the code is actually like I think these could all be implemented through XML changes. Except mayb

[quote who="Gandhialf" reply="28" id="3095025"] So why not "shifting" the modifier: [1] - Modifier : Club, Spears, Staves (?), One handed Axes [2] No Modifier : Knives, Swords [3] - - Modifier : Heavy Blunt, 2 Handed Axes, All Magic staffs[/quote] Welcome to the thread and that's basically exactly what I'm suggesting.

Reply to [Suggestions .86] Rebalance weapons, change how world improvements are built, tone down experience split in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Your champions would gain slightly more experience total by being grouped together but you would still have the penalties to the trained units which means that you would probably still get less total experience from each unit. I agree that part of the problem is the lack of options to gain experience. We really went from feast to famine and while both are detrimental famine is considerably less pleasant.

Reply to [.86 Suggestion] Faction Differentiation 2 : Techs in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Those would work too. The key point is that the current starting tech system adds just a hairs breadth above nothing to game and needs to be reconsidered. My ideas might cause balance issues (especially the first) but at least they would be fun and characterful.
