Reply to Underpowered Spells in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I actually think almost all the 5th lvl spells are underpowered. Life has good 5th lvl spells. Air, fire & water are too expensive for what you get. I forget what you get with death- I normally play with life, but death in general has some very good spells. agree on the lightning spells, these are supposed to be high lvl spells, but I never use them- esp since air is the one elemental school w/o a summon. storm has the 1 turn casting delay. it is competing w

Reply to [Suggestion] unit upgrades in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Thoughts on how this would impact the AI: I’m not sure the AI upgrades anything… in which case all of these changes would hurt the AI bc they let the player more effectively employ options beyond the AI. If the AI does upgrade additional coding would be required. (2) Obviously scouts and pioneers should never be upgraded. Hopefully, that could be taken care of by the rule never to upgrade something unless it is leaving your territory with the intent of com

[Suggestion] unit upgrades in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

The design of unit upgrades is a bit broken in FE. I should be able to: (1) increase the number of units in my squad. (LH reportedly fixed) (2) upgrade regardless of what the original design called for. (3) upgrade to something less than the best. (4) upgrade parts of armor without upgrading everything. (2) I absolutely hate that I have to remember to select the upgradable option when designing units to have the option to upgrade

If Altar is in your game you can buy the maps from his store (move your hero to his influence and click on buy). In random games it is unreliable as a strategy- Altar might not be a faction and if he is, might not be close.

Reply to Administrator-Trait: do you use it much and let Heros stay in cities? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

@StevenAus I hear what you are saying I played a couple games recently. Even in FE(I’m not in LH beta) mid to late game I don't have much use for new heroes anymore. Tireless march change mostly, but the trained units also seem better. I think a global unrest reduction bonus would be better than the city specific ones. It eliminates the issue of having to move them around every now and them to cities wi

Reply to Quest Loop in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Ah I see, interesting. That would certainly slow down the quest loop. It would also slow down pretty much everything else as well so it may end up a wash in terms of the tactic's relative power. The main effect I think it would have would be to slow down the stack of doom that you created if you use it for mass warfare, but often the tactic is used in conjunction with trading and alliances to allow the heroes to devote themselves to questing. In that case the only thing that really matter

Reply to Quest Loop in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I hadn't played in a while. I just tried a new game (v1.32) with the full quest loop strategy. It is still OP. @azunai I still seem to be able to attack more the 1x per season. Is that a pending change in some upcoming patch or something? Money is much tighter with the 100gp cost. Before I had money left over for other things. Now I don't have enough money to buy all the quest maps I would like. The tireless march change forces an all horse mount b

I don't know about LH, but as of the latest update to FE the quest scrolls now cost 100, and the tireless march can only be cast once. This scales back its power to something other strategies can compete with

Reply to Administrator-Trait: do you use it much and let Heros stay in cities? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Never use them. (FE) I never take that class intentionally. Even if one is given to me: Early game I'll ignore the in city bonus bc I need my champions to lead my armies. Mid to late game I'll dump them in some city and forget about them bc I don't want to be bother with trying to level up a worthless champion. Annoying that if I get unrest in a city to 0% their bonus isn't helping any more. They don't make en

dances with dragons, allows you to build on dragon lairs / monuments. These buildings give you dragons. The monuments are pretty rare, but a large map will usually have several dragon lairs. The production of the dragons is on a timer like wildlings. If you wait long enough it will give you more dragons.

Reply to Outposts: Do people actually use the upgrades? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I've experimented with warren- but it is unreliable I generally only need it in far flung outposts- and it proved unreliable- sometimes a monster would stomp the outpost anyways. High tower is occupationally useful in the right situation. Consulate is potentially useful, but like others have said I almost always have something better to build. They also suffer from the fact that outpost benefits are tied to the closest city, which means that t

Reply to Highlights from Legendary Heroes in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I agree with Mtn_Man being warned about idle production is nice. I can see close to the end of the game when you just don't care wanting to be able to ignore those warnings- but the interesting parts of the game and early game are the times I want to be warned, If I don't care I've probably already won and am just mopping up. Sometimes I set something on continuous production (in other games) and forget about it. It would be nice if there was an op

like the sound of most of the changes provided the AI is properly coded to use them (otherwise the game will become way too easy) heros Governors need fixing. As it stands assassin and warrior, over power mage, and governor is useless, as often stated because they can't level when using their power. Easily fixed by either binding them to cities, but not requiring being stationed there or by making them c

Reply to Fallen Enchantress v1.1 Released–Massive AI Update! in Elemental News Elemental Forums

played this update a bit but it seems very unstable with lots of crashes and sometimes corrupted saves. Note I originally did the upgrade update. I thought that maybe a clean install of the game would help so I uninstalled deleted all saves and left over folders and reinstalled. Unfortunately, the stability issues have persisted. The frequency of the crashes seems to be one every couple hours of game play.

I've also seen this as reported by jlzignego . Seems to happen any time I load a game in map 2 I get an extra set of heros decked out in their scenario starting gear that they came into map2 with. Loading in map1 was fine. I guess I'll wait for a patch to play through the campaign. I don't want the campaign to turn into clone wars.

I can confirm your report. I also got the elixer in the 1st map. I noticed it had a use button, but I got distracted and didn't use it till the 2nd map, where it also gave me a permanent 'growth' spell effect.

hrm hadn't noticed spell mastery resistance had been changed to include spell damage. That does make cowardly far less attractive to the fire-mage.

Converting Obsidian Golems into city defenders? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The text of the obsidian golem when you get near it say something like "I'm waiting for someone more powerful than myself to serve..." Just wondering if that means you can ever convert them to your side. And if you can't, what ppl think of the idea of being able to. Maybe if you build a city next to it and then build a special structure on the golem lair, or do a quest you can get the golem to guard your city
