Reply to Introduction to GalCiv III AI Talk in GalCiv III AI Talk GalCiv3 Forums

My feeling is that the AI doesn't value speed highly enough. i have rarely seen it field fleets that move faster than 6-8 speed. In contrast I don't build warships with move of less than 15 (which is still too slow for my liking). Speed matters because the ships can then engage multiple targets in one turn. It is also much easier to move beyond defences and then attack the soft underbelly of the empire. i like the game but currently I don't feel the AI is really much of a

4. You need to build faster ships, I don't make warships that move less than 15, although in my last game I had one that had a speed of 132!!!

Pragmatic has the 3 free ships round ever planet at rank four I am finding this huge. I don't normally build ships until I can build good ones. But when I take this I go from nowhere to strongest military. This keeps everyone off my back for ages. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Suggestion concerning Golems in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I think Golems should get overpower as a skill, currently they are trough but quite weak compared to other units you can train at that point in the game. I think overpowered would fit with what the Golem is and make up for the fact that they are single units. Cheers CaptinDan

Great Beta moments in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Since the game is about to go live i wondered what has happened during the Beta that you loved. My great moment was when a hero upgraded and me and my mate were trying to figure out what the upgrade should be, we started complaining about not being able to see the character sheet, when one of us clicked on the character portrait in the top right of the upgrade box and the Character sheet appeared! We stared at each other and then 'high fived' in sheer delight. Such a small thi

Reply to The AI is missing something in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="6" id="3359500"]I think you could also cheat a bit by giving the AI extra mana at higher difficulty levels (on a sliding scale based on difficulty, not just a bonus 50,000 or whatever) without breaking the player's sense of immersion.[/quote] Yes, part of the reason why i wrote this post is that on Harder and above i think the AI needs Mana producing buffs and maybe a reduction in casting costs on spells. The game can be very magic intensive at poin

Reply to Do You Play LH to Win? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I paly to win but i don't consider it really sporting to attack before mid game, anyway i am having to much fun questing, killing stuff, building my cities and all theat fun stuff, Then i have a big fight with the AI at the end.

The AI is missing something in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I think the game is very good. The AI is nearly there but it is missing the importance of Mana. It is good at leveling heroes, building units, building cities and casting spells but it doesn't value having a store of Mana. Because of this it cast too many unit enchantments and does not always build cities on high Essence locations and so its Mana store is generally low (50-100 Mana?). This means that in the big fights the AI can only cast a couple of spells. Where

Weapon upgrading in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I think the weapon upgrading needs some love. With the new weapon abilities the current upgrading system doesn't work, for instance i make a nice group of one handed axe maidens, but when i unlock the next weapon tech i get the option to upgrade their weapons and they suddenly start using maces. So what i suggest is that each weapon type is listed separately in the weapon selection screen, each weapon is given an upgrade ability and so sword maidens could upgrade swords. Spear uni

Reply to SPOILER may be inside A lost protector quest question in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

The Dark Wizards are very tough if you don't have the right units. You need units with really high initiative so that you can kill him before he casts his spell. To be fair in the choice it does say something "i will leave this after all he is a DARK WIZARD". Still 'Bill' is a good unit so it is worth the effort.

Thanks for the free games in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Hi I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and commitment, it is much appreciated. I think the ghost of EWOM is laid to rest, LH is a good solid beta and lots of fun. I have only played for a few hours but it really has the one more turn thing (keep carrying on after i have saved and need to go and do something else!) I like the heores and the progession system. The combat has much more depth and now i want to field a variety of troops. Although the mounted units thin

Thoughts on 1.291 in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I don't get a lot of time to play, although i have been playing all the Betas since WOM. Here are my thoughts on the new build. Overall i like it. The AI is improving and the diplomacy changes are nice. My big problem with this build is with how easy it is to win using the spell victory. Since the resources in the tower building has been nerfed it is far to easy to win this way. Whilst it is good that the computer now tries to win using spell victory i have found that each

Reply to Playing as Pariden... in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I like them as well. You can make really good monks using the speacial staff they unlock in the Warfare tree, add the robes and dodging traits and they can be really quite nice. I had some monk units that lasted the whole game, by the end they didn't really do any damage, but they were hard to kill and stopped the AI from getting to my killer mages.

Before you go to war with someone trade all your techs for money. They won't be able able to exploit the techs before you crush them and extra cash is always good.

Reply to Elemental: Fallen Enchantress is now available in Elemental News Elemental Forums

Congratulations! You have all done a cracking job and should be very proud. I think i will buy the game again on Steam coz i feel that i have already been repaid for WoM by being in the Beta and playing a great game for the last couple of months. Cheers Dan

Roads and route finding!!!! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I like how roads work generally but i have two problems with the system. 1. When i build a new settlement i don't believe it has really been connected to my empire if the road that connects it runs through enemy territory. particularly if there is a route that can be built which does not involve going through enemy territory. 2. When i am at war with someone it is very annoying when you click to attack a city but the enemy you are fighting has a ZOC in the way, at th

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.99 Changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

I think 5 is to low for lower land. I was happy with 50 but if it is to be lowered i think 25 - 30 is fair. At 5 the mountian defense that you may have means nothing. I am fine for the AI to lower mountians to attack me and escape from poor starting locations but it should come at a cost.
