Reply to An idea to challenge the save/reload itch in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="DarkGaldred" reply="15" id="3079967"] Did you read the post, though? I only asked for an ironman option that you could check at startup... Like there is in some other game (Armageddon Empires, Chaos Gate, Warlords Battlecry 3, Dominions 3...). It's not about feeling I shouldn't, it's just not the same at all when you know you cannot do it.[/quote] Sure, and I'd be fine with an Ironman option that you check when setting up each game. I played Moun

Don't force others to play with a mechanic they might not like purely because you're unable to stop yourself from playing in a manner that you feel you shouldn't. That's like a guy saying non-marital sex sh

Agree with the first two. Disagree with #3. A dude with a club should get his ass kicked by a demon. Disagree with #4. The tension of the first 100 turns on a difficult start is the best part of the game so far. It's the only part I feel they've nailed their vision (that the world is hostile). Disagree with #5. If you mean monsters, it makes perfect sens

[quote who="Barrynor" reply="3" id="3078515"] - Once you are dedicated to kill something, KILL IT! Currently the AI switches targets, especially against superior numbers, and attacks all of em a bit. If its dead, its not doing damage anymore. He who slaps the most wins... dead things dont slap. A unit with 1 HP leftover is still 100% more effective than a unit with 0 HP.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="17" id="3078500"]Compass shouldn't exist period. It simply is too good and to be balanced would have to be ridiculously expensive. Tactical and Strategic movement should also be two very different things. Quoting seanw3, reply 16My problem is that playing on a large map requires a different scale of movement than a small map. It really comes down to this. No in fact it doesn't. Whats the point of large maps if they play ex

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="6" id="3077640"]I would like to add that champions should require a trait to use a mount. There is no reason as it stands to not just put every champion you have on a horse or wolf.[/quote] I think this is a terrible idea. I don't think it adds much to gameplay except making horses slightly less useful and it's terrible from an immersion perspective as well. These are the best and most capable people in the world and they need

[quote who="Bellack" reply="41" id="3077620"] Also there needs to be a way to heal injuries. It would be no fun to have a useless champion hanging around for the reset of the game. Maybe either have the inguries be in effect for so many rounds and/or have healing spells that can heal them. But if you do have healing spells that can heal them then it needs to be only one injury healed per casting. And should be limited to one casting per Champ or Sov per turn.[/quote] So you

I had picked New England and as luck would have it the Giants steamrolled 'em. It was as if the Giants loosed the 'Giants', bringing out the heavies and trouncing the Pats big time.

Reply to [.77][Bug] Enchantments Don't Update in FE Support Elemental Forums

There is pretty much no reason that these shouldn't update when your number of shards update. If they're worried about balance (ie, you cast them early and then they get upgraded for free as the game goes on) then make them more expensive or tie the upkeep cost to the number of shards. Otherwise it trivializes a large part of the shard mechanic. Magic is supposed to be tied to shards and owning shards to increase your magic power is supposed to be a viable g

[Bug] Resource & Build Queue in FE Support Elemental Forums

If a resource is in a tile connected to a city building it takes up a spot in the build queue. If it is not next to a city, it does not. Even when it does take up a slot in the build queue it is still built simultaneously with anything listed before it in the build queue, however once the resource becomes the first item in the queue all other items wait for the resource to be constructed. It's inconsistent. Seems like you mean to have the resources built r

Reply to [UI Issue] Cloth map empire color/border color clarity in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree. I think there needs to be an option to make faction owned territory clearer (darker faction colors or something) when you're zoomed out. The zoomed out map is much less useful than it should be for gathering a high level strategic look at your situation.
