[Bug] Paragon does not reduce Sov HP when Sov is in same Army as Target in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Seems I may have found the source of Paragon not reducing your Sovereign's HP - it was reduced when the Sov and target champion were by themselves, but didn't drop when they were in the same army. Also, since XP boosters still seem to effect the outcome - consider that with General, Trainer bonuses on sov+2 champions averaging +25%, Potential I-III for +60%, Knowledge, and henchmen with Bard & some Trainer for another +40%... thats +225% XP, giving nearly three levels in a

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.95 Changelog (Beta 4) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The changelog seems to be missing a fix for Paragon not reducing your Sovereign's HP (an issue I had). Also, any plans to change how the XP the spell gives scales with XP boosters (like Potential and Trainer) - you can be giving 3-4 levels a casting, which gets pretty ridiculous (as in, level 40+ champions ridiculous).

Reply to Those who call this game :Sins of a Titan in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

It seems like a significant issue is that higher-level rebel titans can plow though most opponents with little or no support. Obviously, such an expensive unit should have a major impact, but when two level 4 Chastic Bursts will destroy most nearby subcapitals, you're rendering a chunk of the game obsolete - players have to build a very specific fleet composition (large bomber count) or lose. Problem is, the fundamental focus on Rebel Titan abilities (and the Maw) is widescale

Good to hear Rebellion sold well. Not sure about the "releasing after beta feedback was all-positive" though - pretty sure there were some comments about jumping Orkuli, indestructible Kultorasks, and Strip to the Core... Overall though, it's good to hear that Stardock is getting more flexibility thanks to a digital focus.

One thing that stuck out to me in these replays was how people often ignored constructors while focusing down buildings (often building being made by those very constructors). Seems like a significant oversight, unless I'm missing something.

Is it possible to gain "skilled" status? in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

It's hard not to notice the trend in online games for the players who know each other to be experienced to congregate together in "skilled" games and (to the best of my understanding) boot anyone they don't recognize. Now, I understand the motivation for this practice - getting an inexperienced player in the econ spot can be a crippling blow to a team, and having them in a frontline or suicide spot hurts too. Yet, it seems that fully embracing this practice makes it much h

Maybe buff offensive culture and give culture centers the ability to repel it at a financial cost? That way, the defender has an option, but the offensive player is at least creating a money sink.

Guess one option for Wail would be to make it extended damage - say 125% of the current output delivered over 2 minutes? Of course, you'd need to do something about dual Red Button SBs while you were at it.

Reply to Was Rebellion pushed out and why? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Feels like they could have resolved the issues by the time-of-release they had with more frequent patching and more willingness to experiment in the beta. It always feels like the ability of the forums to provide feedback is being wasted during beta - people are willing to regularly evaluate new builds - but if there's no updates in several weeks, then they're left commenting on old features that may have already been adjusted for the insider builds. And yes, I know more u

Since we seem to be making suggestions now, I might as well link to my original topic: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/427264 Most relevant would be the combination of increased time and about 50% planetary HP reduction & no HP regen.

How about it making it an ability that gives fighters that would die a chance to "teleport" to skirantra - in practical terms giving reduced construction time and no AM cost to the next ship built from that squadron? Just throwing it out there.

Reply to What does the Revelation need to truly terrify her enemies? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Not sure about that - seems like emptying Chastic Bursts faster into clustered HCs or Light Carriers (particularly if you're using repulsion to keep them together) means you have significantly better odds of wiping them away before they can escape - a mid-level Eradica can certainly bank enough AM to wipe away HCs and Light Carriers without needing its AM regen. At minimum, an allied Kultorask would get a big boost, since it nearly always has surplus AM and reduced NanoLeech+Grav

Reply to So why are Reb Orkies OP in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Think of a tower rush in any other RTS, but without any of the drawbacks (the towers can move, and aren't vulnerable when building). Orkuli were designed as a defensive measure - they cost a lot, but those costs are repaid with an incredibly tough vessel that can defeat small-mid-sized fleets by itself and slow down larger ones for quite a while. When it costs you absolutely nothing (once the tech is researched) to convert an installation balanced for defense int

Seems one problem with terraforming is that if you place those mountains around a city with cultural control over the mountain's location, and only leave a one-tile wide, oceanic entrance which you can put a boat in from your city if you want to leave... congratulations - your fortress is now literally impenatrable (as long as you can extend the ocean far enough to deny vision). Seems the only counter would be adding some way to use terraforming in hostile territory (perhaps a multi
