Reply to [.86][bug] Adventurer's Guild description is off in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="DGB246" reply="6" id="3092543"]I like the concept but it's a lame building at the moment - it's a per faction building available mid-game that takes a long time to build and costs maintenance. In return it gives champs xp so slowly that it's actually irrelevant at that point in the game. Additionally, the champ needs to sit in the city doing nothing to benefit from it so you are also foregoing the use of the champ too. Currently you could dump 6 governors in it and it

Reply to [.86 Balance] Grain is pointless until the endgame in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I must also be doing something "wrong". I go for a few big cities with level 4 & 5 bonus buildings and food works about right. I research food early on and keep barely ahead of demand, with "gentle rain" as a fallback in case of shortages. Current system works ok for me.

Reply to [.86]Encumbrance Analysis in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="3" id="3092047"]I like how Horses are -weight while Wargs are + initiative. (I think Wargs give +2 initiative iirc) This allows for very fast mounted units if lightly armored and riding wargs.[/quote] Agree. Having both encumbrance and plate-armor intiative penalties seems like the are dinging us double, and overdoing it. Plate slows us down because it is heavy, so encumbrance OR initiative penalties make sense, but not both. I

Reply to [BUG][.86] Caravans in Unit Tree in FE Support Elemental Forums

I saw caravans on the map in .86 after with trade treaties, so they aren't totally gone. So from a distance it sure sounds like OP had a trade treaty and the old bug with caravans in the unit list after a load-in-game.

Reply to FE gets Smart Exception support in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

I think I see my email address in there. Been crashing enough so it's not a big surprise (on XP). But the partly-obscured email addresses remind me what I've read about how many kinds of anonymized user data aren't as anonymous as they are supposed to be.

Reply to [.86] Grabbag of bugs and issues in FE Beta Elemental Forums

One easy way to give big cities more "Oomph" might be to let you choose 2 out of the 5 level-up buildings instead of just 1. Or give each faction a guaranteed level-up building for each level, in addition to the one you choose.

Reply to [BUG] 1 per faction in FE Support Elemental Forums

Galciv 2 was like this too. "1 per faction" is short for "you can't start building 1 if you already have one built or under construction". Behavior is reasonable, wording is sloppy.

Reply to [.86][crash] I think I was just moving in FE Support Elemental Forums

definitely just moving this time (later in the same campaign). Basically it crashes about once an hour. I guess it would help to exit and do a clean start, but I keep forgetting. debug.err http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8928343/debug-86-crash.err crash zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8928343/FallenEnchantress0_86-2012-02-25T17-45-19-453.zip

Reply to Traits: Cruel and Natural Leader in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="seanw3" reply="1" id="3090568"]I don't see a problem. Now hush before the devs see this![/quote] yes There's a similar trick with vulnerable (minus 5 spell resistance) and brilliant (+1 intelligence per level). Intelligence increases spell resistance in addition to helping spell mastery and making you get XP faster. Hopefully by the time anyone is throwing dangerous spells at you you have enough levels so resistance is a wash and the mastery &amp

Reply to [.85 UI] Notification when city stops production in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Couldn't they at least add 1 line like "this city is now idle" to the message we already get on the right-side of the screen when a city completes something. The ZZZZzzz on the left side doesn't cut it in large maps & long campaigns where they are mostly down off the screen.
