Reply to [.91 Suggestion] mortal champions in FE Beta Elemental Forums

This has been discussed previously. IIRC the adverse-combat-outcome was added as a result of champions having no penalty from being defeated in combat (broken nose, concussion, etc). And under the current system champions may still be slain, it just doesn't happen frequently. Personally, I like the present system. However, I wouldn't be averse to a a toggle under the game options screen (map size, difficulty, victory conditions

Reply to AI Wars: Beta 3 Edition in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="27" id="3137744"] How much damage the spell does is known to the AI via the XML. When you play, don't use select items and spells based on what they say they'll do? That's what the AI does.[/quote] Well, that's kind of what I do. But as a casual gamer, say, maybe I'm retarded because it's difficult for me to tell how much damage a spell is going to do *cough* UI improvement *cough*

[0.91] Bug, cloth map rat's nest quest in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I believe that this is a bug that I posted for beta 2. On the cloth map, the rat's nest (from the quest) shows up as a flat black tile. cheers, -tid242

Reply to BETA 3: Verdict! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

voted "Excellent" If this was a finished/released game I would've voted "fair". At this stage (it's still beta!), it's excellent. It's a unique game, with tons of potential and although it's a slow-paced game, it's easy to accidently play for an extra hour or two. Yea, there are bugs, and it's not flushed out or even finished yet, but it's still beta. I think it's doing really

[0.91] Bug with recruiting drakes? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I might have missed this, but... - built custom faction with the ability to recruit beasts - killed big drake - get the message "learn "drake whatever tech" to recruit drakes" - on the civ tech tree I see nothing about drakes - there is a "dragon" one at the end of the tree - is this the same as drakes? Bug/typo, or am I just missing the drake camp on the tree somewhere? cheers, <p

[0.91] Bug cloth map MOBs not disappearing right away in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Pretty much any MOB on the cloth map that I kill, their little statue/figure sticks around until the following turn. So often, I kill them, and then when I go to explore their lair it /looks/ as though I'm walking on top of their little statue, but it's just a visual artifact,t the game treats the tile as though it's (rightfully) vacant. cheers -tid242

Reply to [0.91] Bug: wolf army spawning in unreachable position in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] A wolf army spawned on a coastal tile, with only two of the models visible on land. My cursor changed into a combat cursor but I couldn't right-click them. I had just accepted a quest that asked me to get three wolf pelts, so maybe they were spawned by the quest?

Reply to Suggestion - Character Creation in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="3" id="3098745"][quote] Quoting IronKaiser, reply 2I'd say that this certainly isn't too much to ask for, and indeed should be incorporated into the main factions as well. Resoln's deathly, ghostly realm should look different from Kraxis' sandy plains or Magnar's volcanic lands. Tarth territory should look forested, and Pariden pastures should have a bluish hue, as if the magic of the realm pervades the very ground they walk.[/quote]<br

Reply to Equipped item limit? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I would much rather have a dynamic limit. Just as theirs a pack-mule encumberance, I would like to see an variable equip limit with different types of champions being able to equip different amounts and different types of items. For now a item per champion limit seems fine, but as a future direction this being a modifiable trait seems interesting and intuitive to me. -tid242

Reply to [.85][Balance] Threat rating of Ignys and Bear seems wrong in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Agreed on bears. Igny's tho... they've got a ton of armor (resistance?), taking only about 1/4 - 1/3 the damage a soft target (such as a bear) would take. Also, they are immune to fire, which negates my usual fire-spell fallback when I'm losing a fight. -tid242

[0.86] Capitar's unique faction ability needs to be removed/updated/replaced in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Caravans have been removed from the game (correct me if I'm wrong on this), but Capitar's unique faction ability, "Legacy of Serrane" is that caravans cannot be attacked and give diplomatic bonuses or something. This is on the initial screen where a player chooses his/her sovereign and faction. cheers, -tid242

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="3091736"] Game Mechanics. Factions still feel too similar. Champions need more differentiation. .[/quote] Actually, I think that altering the UI coloring for kingdoms vs empires would do a lot for this. While I like the current coloring scheme, it's made up of very warm colors, especially in screens like the tech tree, etc. all deep reds, greens and blues set in a rich warm grey backdro

Reply to Got Beta 2? Please vote in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Wow, long thread. I voted "Excellent" because for a beta, I really do think that it's excellent. Each release has been substantially improved over the last and the framework is there for a really great game. I might be a non-mainstream gamer so my opinion might not mean a huge amount, but it's got a really laid-back feel that belies a drawn-out desperate grind against the world - which I really dig. That being said, there is st

I might have missed this, but does anyone know if any of the "special abilities" some of the default sovereigns have are available by any means (other than modifying xml) for custom sovereigns? For example, is Ceresa's 'Staff of Souls' available by selection, or one must choose a pre-made sovereign to possess such things? If they are unavailable, [SUGGESTION] - it may be worth considering treating these "special items/abilites" such as the "super abili
