Reply to AI diplomacy question in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I don't have this experience. I actually love the diplomacy in FE.

Would you pay for a printed copy of the manual, Hiergamenon, Spell Book, and Monster Manual? And how much? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hypothetically, if these were offered would you pay? I certainly would. If they were offered in one big nicely printed paperback tome, it would be fantastic. I'd pay ten bucks for that (black and white, maybe $15 in color). Is there interest in this?

[quote who="seanw3" reply="32" id="3281231"]Yes For instance, all weapons stay useful throughout the game. The worst thing about tactical battles is that each new weapon is so superior in every way. In my mod, Werewindle and I have made sure each early game weapon stays useful. The result is that early game weapons have special abilities that make them competent for large units in big armies. And then there is the fact that I have about 20 D&D style classes instead of 3. Just r

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="26" id="3281134"]"Massive potential" - I keep hearing this expression since Elemental:WOM release. It's usually related to games that people desperately wanted to love, but for various reasons, it was not possible. Just like with Tristan and Isolde.[/quote] I'd agree with you if it was any developer other than Stardock. SD will make the effort to see that FE lives up to it's potential.

IGN also gave MoO3 a 9.2. Their credibility in reviewing 4X games is lacking.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="7" id="3279246"] Sandbox mode doesn't have enough RPG intergrated into the experiance. Diplomacy is overly simplicated. Tactical combat isn't advanced enough. Content is lacking, but community can thankfully fill that in. [/quote] It sounds like he accidentally re-reviewed WoM, not FE.

Like faction placement, resources, goodie huts, quest locations, monster lairs, and fertile land city locations...or is every element locked in place?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="3275132"]There is still some low hanging fruit the AI hasn't made good use of that I'mworking on. For example, it's still pretty rotten about using strategic spells and it's rotten at late game researching that's going to just require me to do a bit of hard coding to make it better at FE specifically. In tactical, the AI is still poor about using items it finds. Bottom line, there's a lot of area
