[quote who="seanw3" reply="6" id="3216571"]I am excited and worried about what the steam users will think about the game. At least they can't call it short! [/quote] I'd have to say that I share this concern. I think the Steam users, on balance, may well be a less reasonable group of people. They may have unreasonable expectations, regarding a Beta product, for example. <span styl

[quote who="AMDG" reply="191" id="3214742"] Please fix the end turn bug - I've spent a whole weekend being unable to fully enjoy the game, and my pewter elemental dragon is sad [/quote] AMDG, there appears to be some very good news on this front. If you look at the Derek Paxton's v0.951 Changelog Post (for the Beta 4a coming out on August 30), which also appeared on Sunday August 26, you can see t

Wow! Thank you, Derek, for the (Beta4a) v0.951 Changelog, already today (on Sunday) for an update, that will not appear until next Thursday, August 30! This is excellent news! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Most important (IMO) is the number of Bug Fixes. I suspect you have noticed the larger number of comments, in seve
Good Move, Bingjack, in making this Post ! It's not like we have to be fanboys, here; and, in fact, we shouldn't be! But ... "a little credit, where credit is due" ... is never a bad thing. I think the Artwork in E:FE is steadily improving. Besides the new Load Screen, we have several new cut-screens as well. As you point

Good Poll ! ... Good idea for a Discussion Thread, StevenAus ! I got a late start on the Beta 4, so have only started (and just completed) one game. I played with a Custom Faction, on a Small Map, with only two opponents, on the Normal Difficulty level. I achieved a Conquest Victory, in just under 300 turns. I did have about 6-7 c
Thanks for another great Update, Frogboy! I am very much be looking forward to Beta 4a, next week! To add my voice, to accolades that many here have already given you: You guys have obviously worked hard, for a long time; and the game keeps getting better and better! Thanks for all your hard work on this! I think your good work will be rewarded with substant
Download and Update to Beta 4 worked perfectly, first time, for me ... [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Just to review the bidding: the update to Elemental: Fallen Enchantress'es (E:FE) Beta 4 was first available on Thursday, August 16. I had competing issues (and other games!) to deal with, for the last several days, so I was not a
[quote who="stein220" reply="11" id="3209267"]I would say optimize for the middle since it seems a lot of the other settings seem to be done that way. I'm playing small right now just to get the hang of the changes but will be likely be playing more mediums later. [/quote] I'm pretty much of the same mind as stein220, who I quoted above. I have played most of my games on Small Maps, with an occasional game on a Medium Ma

Interesting observations, Glazunov1 ... and I can't say I entirely disagree with them. I can't see how anyone could really have liked Steve Jobs, as a person ... although Steve Wozniak (for one) has suggested that he both did like Jobs (at times) and distinctly dis-liked him (at other times). But even granting that; I will m
I feel your pain . On the other hand, randomly generated starts that are rubbish, are not a problem (IMO) if you know about (and are not afraid to use) cntl n .

Thanks, Godplex, for the detailed and rational explanation regarding some of Win8's liabilities and assets. Your calm, solid, and patient explanations add something valuable to the discussion (and particularly help those of us who are non-techies). I personally expect to dislike Win8; and I will probably decide to "upgrade" soon to a 64-bit Win7 . But, again, I appre

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="99" id="3206136"] Quoting OrionM42, reply 96 However well meaning we may be, we are not the purchasers who are going to make or break E:FE ... let alone turn it into an overwhelming success. Or indeed purchase it at all since for the most part we probably got it for free or have already pre-ordered it. So you could say that in order to be successful FE has to directly appeal to people who are specifically not us. [/quote]

Another Good Thread! Thanks for the history lesson, Frogboy ... and, no, I am NOT being facetious. I find it interesting to get this snapshot of what your original plans were; and to get a better insight into how things have reached the stage they are approaching now. It is informative ... and it is fascinating ... Also, I commend you for your candor
Thanks for your latest FE Pre-Beta 4 "After Action Report" (AAR)! It remains a very great pleasure watching the evolution of Fallen Enchantress, and being given the opportunity to provide input and feedback. The artwork just keeps getting better; and with the improving artwork, the feeling of immersion grows. Can't wait to get my hands on the Beta 4 ... <span styl

[quote who="razor436" reply="42" id="3199232"] 3) Naval Warfare. Absolutely not. this is the last thing I would implement after a long list of other features. To make things interesting, we would need several types of ships. Then we would need to create a bunch of roaming sea monsters and summonables, which would be cool, but a lot of work to implement and balance. I'd rather they invest the time in fleshing out land battles. Besides, sea transport can be done by raising la
