[bug .95] cannot use Burning Hands spell in LH Support Elemental Forums

when my caster is right next to an enemy, I mouse over the enemy and it says "need to target an enemy unit". I don't think I've ever gotten it to work in LH so far.

Reply to Arbitrary settleable spots in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

perhaps the rivers in Elemental are diseased and polluted due to the cataclysm so cities can only be built where there are natural wells (I realize there is a Well improvement you can build in Towns; I think of that as a more advanced municipal aqueduct system that utilizes the existing aquifer). made me think of this article I read today. http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2013/05/21/medieval_europe_why_was_water_the_most_popular_drink.html

Reply to Magnar Slave Units - no heads? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I remember that custom units and sovereigns had this problem during the original FE Beta. weird that it's popped up again. Usually, exiting and restarting the game did the trick for me. I haven't seen this in .85 yet myself.

[Suggestion] Regicide victory option in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

It's too perfect. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before (probably someone else did but I missed it), but a cool option would be to have a buffed up sovereign, but if they fall in battle, the faction is defeated (AI or player controlled). The sovereigns should probably have extra health and maybe start with a few extra-levels. This would give you the incentive of bringing them out to fight from time-to-time (throw in faster leveling?), creating an interesting r

Reply to Easy levels and War-Crazy AI. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

the only issue with using the map editor is you know what the continent looks like ahead of time. it might be nice if you could set the number of AI players to zero if you just wanted to play around and explore with with quests and wildlands without being bothered. I like to fight big wars myself, but it might be an interesting change of pace.

Reply to Switching away from encumbrance system has resulted in a lot of useless junk in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Nyysjan" reply="10" id="3346591"] Maybe, instead of having on/off switch on armor, give all armor heavier than leather a huge initiative penalty, and have armor proficiency lower it?[/quote] I dont have an issue with the current system (have only played one full game on .8) but this seems like a good, simple idea.

Reply to [0.8][balance] Horse/warg usage for trained units in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

it could/should also take considerably longer to train cavalry (increase their production cost?). I think that would be somewhat realistic and cut down on the availability of mounts using existing game mechanics (in addition to reducing the number of mounts from resource nodes, which I support).

Reply to Horses and wargs as a resource in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

yeah, i see an over-abundance of mounts as well (i mostly play on temperate maps). I think reducing the amount of mounts provided per turn would be best in addition to requiring higher wages, this way, you have a decent chance of having at least some cavalry in your army. having said that, a faction trait that doubles the number of mounts you get from said resources would be interesting if you wanted to make a hun/mogol/dothraki custom faction.

Reply to Spears feel wrong in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="18" id="3339025"] An alternative could be to be able to hit a unit one tile away with the spear, but that would have to be evry turn, not just every 5th turn. Anyways, I like the current mechanic too. As people say her it has added alot to tactical battle.[/quote] i was thinking something like this as well. even a 6 ft spear will give you a range advantage over non-polearm weapons. there would definitely be more opportuni

[quote who="SCampb29" reply="12" id="3335984"] To some extent having it early can make the game more interesting; it recently forced me to go to war with a power I really wanted to wait longer on when I saw the towers going up.

Reply to Outposts: Do people actually use the upgrades? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

hightower mostly to expand connections and get more resources. I do use the armory and fortification upgrades just in case, i can only think of a few instances where i felt they made a difference in battle. Maybe i need to try to use them more "offensively" and plop them down near monsters i intend to fight.
