[quote who="fargol54" reply="12" id="3275698"]And virtually every RTS game ever made usually demands you zerg the AI before he zergs you. I don't find that fun in the least, but I will admit FE doesn't do it as "in your face" as other RTS's.[/quote] credibility at zero percent...

Reply to Get rid of the stacks of doom in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I've played several games so far, and I keep on experiencing deja-vu. Then it hit me. It's the stack of doom. In almost every game, an AI player sends wave after wave of stacks of doom at my cities until they fall. Talk about one dimentional/sigle minded gameplay. Let's stop pretending. There is only one path to victory - war/miliatary. All other victory conditions are highly dependant on a strong miliatary (e

[quote who="mastroego" reply="37" id="3275883"] FE's "less than stellar" reception is not due to bugs (though they don't help, either), but rather to the fact that FE is just not a fun, engrossing game.[/quote] I couldn't disagree more. WoM wasn't really fun, but FE absolutely is. It has the makings of a classic, like Galciv2.

Admit it Brad, you threw that "LH" out there just to drive us crazy. And I have a question about the large map in the OP. Will certain elements be random when you play that map? Like faction placement, resources, goodie huts, quest locations, monster lairs, and fertile land city locations...or is every element locked in place? And if all factions always start in their appropriate locations, then what happens if you're playing a custom faction?

[quote who="rlane48" reply="114" id="3275070"] I've been making larger random maps -- I added a "huge" and an "epic" map size and have been playing some games on them to test them out. If you want me to provide the xml I can do so -- not sure if it's cool to cut and paste it or what. I also add a couple gold mines on the map... not enough to go around, but they should be fun to find. [/quote] I'd love to try them out. Do they ba

When E:wom was deemed a failure, you said early adopters would be getting two expansions for free. Fallen enchantress and the next expansion. Are you saying we get the expansion to FE as well, or are you saying that

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="3274193"] Quoting Cruxador, reply 19When you say this map is gigantic, how big are we talking? Also, are larger sizes for randomly generated maps a thing that can happen? I'm not sure how big it is exactly. But it's bigger than any map I've ever seen in WOM or FE. If you don't have a 64-bit system, it might be tricky. I've been trying to find ways to shave down texture sizes and other tricks t
