A couple of thoughts on LH in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Just a couple of thoughts on LH beta after a couple of games played: - I like the new champion leveling system but the fact that champions level so slow defeats the purpose of the new system. It killed the fun for me. Splitting experience between champions needs to be abolished in order to make leveling faster and the game more fun in this respect. By the way I love the fact that you've made the summoning options for champions more interesting. I was never able to select ski

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

[quote who="Dhuran" reply="17" id="3334404"] I rarely use them for the following reasons: - Since they use the same queue as a city, I usually end up building stuff in the city instead since they impact the game more. - It's hard to justify diverting resources (by that I mean building those instead of city upgrades) on something that is inherently more vulnerable than a city. In short, it's usually a no-brainer

Reply to improving my relations with others in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Yeah I read the tooltip and started offering missions hehe. Never thought of asking for money/resources though. Gonna try that. You can ask them to send envoys? I don't see an option in the missions section to do that or a tech which would enable that.

improving my relations with others in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Hola all. I'm just starting to play rebellion a bit and have a diplomacy question. I'm trying to improve relations with a comp player so that I can get a cease-fire with them. I bribed them to the point where they got a 4.5 and higher relationship with me but I still couldn't offer them a cease fire. I then noticed that my relationship with them was -0.22. I assume that I would have to have a 4.5 relationship with them as well before a cease fire could be offered right? Quest

Reply to [Balance] Dirge of Ceresa in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="6" id="3179133"]I think that Corruption is the real unbalanced thing. [/quote] Yes I agree here 100%. To be able to convert any shard you like to death shards is the problem. You can't do that with any other shard. I have been able to take out a world boss (I think the swamp guy), with a level 12 hero by himself in three turns (or maybe four), simply by casting dirge. I had 13 or 14 death shards when I did this. Corruption should pr

Reply to Suggestion for ranged heroes: two new traits in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Actually instead of nerfing speed boosting buffs I would prefer more speed lowering spells. Taking WOW as inspiration, you could use the water line to introduce all kinds of freezing spells that slow down enemy units, or give you a % chance to slow down enemies. You could have spells in the earth line that throw up rock walls on the battlefield and you could put lightnig spells in the air line that stun opponents for a turn or two. Stuff like that. +1 for bigger tactical maps (unless

Choosing spells every level for champions in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hola all. A quick comment/idea about champions and gaining spell levels. I find that having all champions with the same level of spell school ability, all having the exact same spells is kinda dull. What would make things much more interesting would be if, when a champion gains a spell level, you had him choose which spells he would learn. For example, when a champion gains a level and chooses level 3 fire, he would then be given a choice of four spells from which he would ha

.915(BUG?) Other empires casting on my cities without meeting me in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Hola all. I started my first game at .915 and a ways in i realized all the producition in my city had stopped and I couldn't figure out why (taxes were at none). I finally noticed that someone (resoln I think) had cast antipathy on my city nine times. The only thing is, I hadn't made contact with any AI players yet. How can they start casting on my cities if we haven't discovered each other? I'm guesssing (hopeing) this is a bug. HAve a good day all :)

Reply to Friday Night Poll: Would you pay a dollar for multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I don't really care about multiplayer over the internet but I would love to be able to have more than just one faction as human controlled in the startup so that I could play two or more factions in the same game. It would also allow hotseat games.

[quote who="Ausland" reply="136" id="3147899"]Quoting TorontoRock, reply Hmm, didn't know you could do this, but it sounds like a bug. I don't think it should be allowed on summons?[/quote] I think the fact that you can summon both strategically AND tactically is overpowered. You effectively get two tactical battle units for every new summon creature spell you get. This can make the early game especially easy (assumeing you have enough mana t

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.913 Feedback requested in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I've just returned to elemental after playing Wom for a couple of weeks then uninstalling it. I've been curious about the direction FE has taken so I decided to try out the beta to see how I liked it. I started with beta three and have played a bit with .913. I've only had time to play a couple of quick games with .913 so far but here is my feedback for what it's worth. 1) Monsters felt about right to me. There were weak ones in the immediate vicinity of my start

Can't get galaxy forge to start in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hello all. I have just started playing sins and was looking to create some of ny own maps since the in-game creator doesn't allow you to place planets/stars/ships ect. where you want them. I downloaded galaxyforge3 from the downloads section on this site and when I click to start it I get an error saying that Adobereader (i'm assumeing that tahts the right program to open it in the first place), can't open it because it's not a supported file type or thefile has been damaged.

Any chance of getting a cloth map version of tactical battles put in? It would help out those people who have some issues with the 3-D version and do away with those ridiculously slow combat animations.

Reply to Using Transport/boat in War of Magic Elemental Forums

After alot of trying, I have finally been able to disembark units from transports. Park the ship next to a beach tile, left click on the unit on the ship to select and then Right click on the beach tile to unload. The problem is that you only seem to be able to do this one unit at a time and when you disembark one unit it switches to its info so you always have to go back and re-select the boat to disembark the next unit. Pain in the ass when you have a boatload of units [e digicons]>:([/e]</

Reply to Clearing Forests in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I just found out in one of my games that blistering sands will clear forest (and leave a desert tile) as will casting greater raise land and then lower land (this will leave a clear tile). The former also costs 2 or 3 less mana.

Clearing forests in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Hey I didn`t realise until the other day that I could clear forests in this game. There are two ways. Casting blistering sands on a forest tile will do it or cast greater raise land followed by lower land (uses less mana overall). Just a FYI if ya didn`t know :)

Some thoughts after playing for two weeks in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Some thoughts about the game after playing 10 games or so the last two weeks. I'll try not to mention things that have already been mentioned alot on these forums (lack of diversity in spells/factions/units, AI to easy ect.) - Would like to be able to re-marry if my spouse dies and we haven't had children yet. In one game my wife was killed when some mob I didn't notice attacked the city she was parked in. After that the whole dynasty thing was useless to me. I under

(suggestion) Trainable unit abilities and "classes" in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

The biggest killer about this game for me personally is the lack of diversity in the factions, units, races ect. I know that this has been mentioned often in the forums but this is one of the biggest issues for me so I wanted to mention it again. How about allowing units to train special abilities. This could have a few positive effects. First of all you could finally get some real choice when you decide to design a unit instead of simply putting on the bes

Reply to transports in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Took me awhile to figure this out myself. Like slider said, you have to find a land "low point", move your transport next to it, select the troop in the boat and then right click to the land square you want to unload at. The trick is trying to identify "low points" on the cloth map (since the 3D map for me is so slow I'm afraid to go to that view in fear of a freeze or crash hehe).
