Reply to [Suggestion] Re-Incorporating Dynasties - Keeping Them Fun - Preventing Abuse - Sound Off Please in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I don't want to wait for an "Expansion" to FE to get them back though. I still remember when the Chief started talking about giving the buyers of Elemental a free game he said the next Two games Stardock did they'd give to the players for free. Somehow though I think we'll be paying for the expansion of FE. Mostly because the company needs to recoup some money, not because Brad would go back on what he said. I don't even think I'd want to hold him to the whole "two games"

[quote who="FatNonFree" reply="3" id="3063186"]What's the point to this article, it's not even a review of the beta? It's just talking about everything everyone knows...[/quote] I think the only good thing about the article really is that it's getting the name "Fallen Enchantress" out there. Since the game is coming together so well I'd say the next big concern Stardock should have would be to get the word out so people can see for themselves how awesome the game i

Reply to [sugestion] Seperate unit production and city production again in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I could go either way. Having played both systems, having just one queue seems to work good for FE. I could see a late-game building or tech though that could unlock or grant a separate unit production queue. That might be a good way to add some city specialization. The player could only have one city that would specialize in unit production. If that doesn't happen though I think I'm ok with the current system. I'd rather see more city specialization than have two queues b

[quote who="askjosh" reply="4" id="3063164"]As such it is my guess that they plan on bringing it back at some point later on since they already have most of the code for it built into FE[/quote] I would tend to agree, but, we don't know for sure exactly. If the new design mandate for FE doesn't utilize Dynasties they may not put forth the effort to bring them in officially and it may be left to us modders to bring them into the game. Personally I think that would be a huge was

I notice the article talks about "lost faith" and such. In my eyes I never really lost too much faith in Stardock even with Elemental. Why? Because like many Stardock fans, I've been with them and their games for years. They've done a lot of good things. Every person, and every company, makes mistakes. Not every person and especially not every company actually go out of their way to make up for past mistakes. Most companies, like EA, or even other smaller indie companies

Note: I tried messaging the Chief (Frogboy) to see if I can get some info out of him on the possible dynasty come-back. I can't promise he'll answer or say anything "official" but maybe we can get some general info out of him on whether or not we'll see them come back as a normal (non-modded) part of the game.

Agreed except on the " I just don't think that they are interested in making the dynasty system work." part. I only say that because even though I've seen tons of other posts in other threads about bringing back the Dynasty System, I haven't really seen a concentrated effort to show the Devs how large the player base that wants to see dynasties return actually is. I also haven't really seen them say much about it except for Boogie showing us how to re-enable them in the X

Reply to Happy with beta but also very worried in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'd say Renevent's concerns are all pretty valid. I my-self am a little worried that some of the memory leaks in E:WoM might make their way into FE. Even on my massively powerful gaming rig on Large and Huge maps in E:WoM starting in turns around 700 to 900 I would start getting OOM crashes and even when loading certain saved games I would only get 10 or 20 turns in before the game would crash again with the same memory issue. This made playing large, epic scale games, very frus

I thought I would start this thread so the Devs could see at a glance what the community would like to see from the re-incorporation of Dynasties into the game and the fears we have about preventing possible abuse and keeping the system a fun part of the game-play experience. Please help by providing your thoughts on what you'd like to see and any changes you think might make the system more fun and ways to prevent it from going down the wrong path and preventing it's abuses fro

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="2" id="3063026"] Do you know if it's possible to change the behaviour of monster lairs? So they could grow over time for instance, or send out raiding parties?[/quote] I believe they already do send out raiding parties. I've seen a Troll Lair spit out 3 seperate Troll Armies from the same lair over the coarse of a game.

The maps on FE seem to be a lot smaller, even though they are much richer. Playing on the "Large" setting in FE seems to feel like the "Medium" setting on WoM. Definitely going to have to try some custom map sizes soon.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress Pre-Orders Are Open! in Elemental News Elemental Forums

This is probably a dumb question but for those of us getting FE for free do we get a hard copy for free or just the digital version? If I need to kick in a few bucks to have a hard copy mailed to me just say so. I was under the impression there wasn't going to be a boxed version of FE and it was digital only. Given the choice I'll always take it backed up on disk.

History is also littered with the saying "The Captain goes down with the ship.". A military captain would have been the last one off that ship, not the first. Of course the need for self preservation would kick in and a military person is trained to go against that, while a comercial industry captain doesn't have that example to go by.

Reply to [BUG]0.75 Pariden using custom Fallen unit design in FE Support Elemental Forums

Happened in one of my games too but at least it was another Fallen empire using my designs and not the Kingdoms. There are only so many "Top" design combinations so it makes sense the AI would come up with the same thing as the players. It should at least name it something faction specific though and use the correct races.
