Reply to Sadly I'll stop playing this game (always crashing at some point) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="dihir" reply="7" id="3300849"]Personally, I configure my game so that there are zero turns between save games. So whenever the game crashes I can always load the last autosave to restart from the end of my last turn. I wish the game did not crash, but this is not the only game that I have enjoyed playing that has stability problems, and I am glad that autosave makes living with the occasional crash so easy.[/quote] Silly me. I thought zero turns meant it w

Reply to [1.12][BUG]Where are all the resources? in FE Support Elemental Forums

One of the charms of this game is the random maps. There are no guarantees you will have iron, or crystal, or whatever readily available. It makes for some interesting situations and gives the game good replayability. Of course, you can have a starting position that is absolutely horrible, and you can have some games where the resources are too sparse. So, random maps are a tradeoff. It's possible you've simply had bad luck with the random number generator that created your ma

[quote who="towerbooks3192" reply="10" id="3300547"]I encountered 2 crashes so far (one on turn 196 when I ended a turn and the other is elemental stopped working and closed). Hoping they could iron out the bugs and fix the crashes and stuff.[/quote] I have been fortunate not to have any crashes since 1.1. However, under Options, I still have autosave set to save after 1 turn. When I have had the occasional crash in the past, I would lose almost nothing.

[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="6" id="3300272"]- Select next unit 'u' often skips units[/quote] I found that it skips a unit that has leftover movement from the previous turn. I have gotten into the habit of making sure a unit has no leftover movement unless I'm sure I don't want to change its path next turn.

Reply to How Destroy Enemy Outposts? in FE Support Elemental Forums

You capture an enemy outpost (and its associated resources) by simply moving on top of it. If you really want to raze an enemy outpost, just move on top of it, click on your stack which will select the outpost, and you will have an option to raze it.

Reply to So much potential........ feedback thread in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Five things I'd like to see: 1. Arrow keys work on tactical combat map the way they do on strategic map. 2. A much improved automatic-end-of-turn logic. 3. A vastly improved auto-combat resolution. 4. The AI stop webbing my archers at the start of combat. 5. When the fight is hopeless and the AI can't retreat from the battlefield, it shouldn't retreat units away from battle (unless it's going to heal them). <

All I can say--and I really love this game--is that Auto Resolve is probably the weakest part of the game. I rarely use it anymore.

Reply to What do you do when you have no crystal in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Without crystal, you won't be able to win by casting the Spell of Making, and of course, you won't be able to create troops equipped with magical stuff. However, all things being equal, I would rather have plenty of iron. With iron, you can make stronger troops and simply conquer your neighbors. Being an average player, though, I look forward to seeing some of the better players' take on your question.

Reply to [1.12][BUG] Units lose movement points without moving in FE Support Elemental Forums

If a unit is in a group outside of a city, its movement is limited that turn to that of the slowest unit. This is true even if you eject the units from a city and then move them back into the city. It has been like this since I've played. Furthermore, if you move a unit into a group (or out of a group and back into the same group), the group's movement will be updated. So, if the unit moving into the group uses its last movement point to join the group, the

Reply to Building Roads in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I'm not aware of pioneers being able to build roads. Roads get built automatically between cities and later to outposts once you do the research. There is a champion/governor skill to build roads; I haven't seen it too often. Perhaps one of the experts can give you better info.

By definition, random events should remain random (and thus never automatic after X turns). IMHO, at least.

Reply to Can't Get A Handle On The Game in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

One of the things that makes the start so interesting is deciding where to settle. I generally agree with relmich. You have to decide if you will be strong enough to defend a city by the time its borders expand into the monster's lair. Hopefully, we will get some alternate opinions suggesting a more aggressive approach with some tips how to make that work. One thing to consider is if a city gets to level 2 and you select Town, its zone of control will immediately increase by 1.</p

FE: A perfect 10 in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I rate my dog, a Border Collie, a perfect 10. She’s sweet, smart, loyal, friendly, fun, cuddly, and she rarely barks. The fact that she has thrown up on the carpet a couple of times or that she once fished some stale bread out of the trash might mean to some that she isn’t “perfect.” However, she is still a perfect dog. This is my logic when I give Fallen Enchantress a 10. To me, it’s a perfect game. It is fun, addictive, flexible, and I love it. I

Reply to How does Stardock rate FE? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Wow! We have some really harsh critics. Someone has played the game 200 hours and knocks it down because he's run out of new things. (Long ago, I read a game designer say his goal was to give 100 hours of quality game play.) Another person gets totally immersed in the game, gives it a "'solid' 7 to start." Many others knock it down because some other game did a particular aspect of the game better. Look, some good points have been made;
