I have not gotten that one yet, but I really like the random events. I hope there are more of them added.

Reply to BETA Feedback in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

In regards to number 7, the algorithms for how and when the AI offers or demands seems to be pretty wacky. One turn, a neutral faction offered me a trade route if I gave them 77 gildar. I accepted, but ended up save scumming due to a death and reloading right before that offer. It popped up again, but this time they were offering me 50 gildar to open up a trade route. Don't mind if I do, Mr. Magnar...

Reply to Can't Lie.. feeling a bit cheated... in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I got LH for free due to buying Elemental when it first came out. But I can understand your feelings, OP. To reward all of the long time fans with a lower price, and then within a few days of release offering that same deal to anyone, is pretty disingenuous of Stardock.

Reply to LH Feedback: Thoughts and Bugs in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Part 2! Rather than keep making new posts, I will just update this one. I had another long play session. Here is what I came up with. Suggestions Heroes feel really weak. Now that acquiring them is more controlled, it would be nice to make them feel like the heroes they are. Leather armored units with a tier two weapon in groups of three are so much better at combat. It is not satisfying. Drastically lower the cost of items at shops with

Reply to [Issue] Swarm mechanic in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I don't think it should be gotten rid of. It helps make unit placement matter and adds more to the strategy of the game. Perhaps to tone it down, have defending units be immune to it? But adding things like that may make the mechanics of swarm even more confusing.

Reply to [Issue] Swarm mechanic in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I thought the Devs specified that swarm did not do additional damage, it only increase the chance to hit. edit: It lowers the target's defense.

Reply to About commander path in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Just brainstorming an idea: Make the Commander's unrest ability a spell that is target-able . Call it "Influence" or something, and let a commander cast it on one city. If it could not take up an essence slot, even better. That way the Commander can go about leveling AND still lower unrest in a city.

LH Feedback: Thoughts and Bugs in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I've been playing for a few hours, and I had some thoughts , suggestions, and possible bugs to report. Suggestions The building placing sound is a bit loud and awkward. It fit a bit better when you chose where to place buildings, but now it just sounds odd. I am not sure what sound you were going for with it. Move the Commander hero to the back row. They are great in the back giving orders and moving in later. They are not designed to take hits well.

Reply to Legendary Heroes - Pre-Beta video in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Because spamming outposts is the problem, and making it easier to create more of them would not help. Fewer, but more effective and costly outposts would be better. It would also create more clear-cut targets for war.

Reply to Legendary Heroes - Pre-Beta video in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Thanks for the video! I am really excited about the leveling system for heroes. I hope this gets a lot of love. The more fun options, the better. I know many players think that the sovereign should be stronger (and better at magic) compared to normal heroes. In regards to this, I would like to suggest that the sovereign be the only unit that can choose schools of magic and get access to lots of spells. I think other heroes should be able to choose individual spells base

Reply to The Map Pack is coming in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

So... wait... This is DLC? We have to pay extra for this? I assumed it was making up for the fact that there are only 6 or so maps included with the game, and thus was free.

Reply to The Map Pack is coming in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

This is great news! Map generation is what I think needs the most work right now. I would really like to see more choke points and defined territories, with less square areas and bigger lakes. But if that cannot or will not be done, I am glad some hand crafted ones will be made.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 1.01 Changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

Is it possible to simply edit a faction and sovereign, instead of having to remake them from scratch? Every time new abilities come around, I have to delete everything. [e digicons]:\[/e]

Reply to [Diplomacy] I want Border Agreements in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I would love border agreements, too. Or at the very least, when someone enters your borders you don't want, add a third option that says "Don't enter my borders again anytime soon! (Cannot enter borders for 15 turns)".

Reply to [0.914 - SUGGESTION] Thoughts on the current Magic system and moving forward in FE Beta Elemental Forums

You just perfectly summed up all of the problems with the spell system. That was great. I don't even have anything to add, I just want to comment on how much I agree with you. Devs, please listen to this post. The magic system is the system that needs the next big tune up, and this post tells you what needs to be worked on.

Reply to [Beta 4] UI Suggestions in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I am glad those last few points are being discussed seriously elsewhere. They are pretty important. Any comments on the UI stuff? Essence and city specialization add a lot of new mechanics that many aspects of the UI does not take into account.

[Beta 4] UI Suggestions in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I have played several games, and started and never finished countless more. I wanted to make some suggestions to make the game easier to understand and play. Most of them have to do with the new way city enchantments are handled. In the Enchantments tab, it would be helpful if the enchantments were listed alphabetically by city. That makes handling large amounts of cities easier. Right now they are listed by the order in which they are cast, which does not help v

Reply to [eMOD] Stormworld 1.5x for FE 1.32 in FE Modding Elemental Forums

All right, that makes sense. Perhaps down the road in a few years, they can use the Elemental engine to do more once the average computer is better... [e digicons]:inlove:[/e] edit: the same trodden-down fantasy races you'll find in this mod. Classics are classic for a reason. [e digicons]^_^[/e]

Reply to RPG late game in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I mentioned this in another post, but I think outposts should be severely limited to certain areas only, claimable just like any other resource, but you need a settler to do it (instead of ZoC). This would create a large zone of control that lets you claim all the resources in it. In regards to point #1, it limits outpost spam and leaves large parts of the world just for quests and travel. For #2, it creates player owned zones similar to the Wildlands that players can fight ov

Reply to [eMOD] Stormworld 1.5x for FE 1.32 in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I have never seen this before, and it looks really good! But you know, it also makes me angry... When questioned why all normal races in FE look the same, and why dwarves aren't short or whatever, the devs always said it was because they didn't want to have to design unique armor and races for each race, and that it would require loads more programming. And yet you've managed to create at least SIX distinct and unique-looking fantasy races.

Reply to [.915] Simple Suggestions (I think) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree with these changes, except for the initiative queue. All of the other important information is on the bottom, and that seems to be the norm for most games. It is also very intuitive: remove the last person who went, and the rest fall down to fill in the space.

Reply to Partys vs Groups vs Etc in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I've never really seen the benefits of having the variable numbers of parties in the game. All it does is make the game more difficult to balance. This is very true. It always makes me wait to really start building an army until I can build groups. As parties and whatnot cannot be upgraded to groups, everything before groups seems worthless. I'd love to hear from a developer on this topic.

Reply to NON-CLOTH MAP zoomed out in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Perhaps a silly question, but how do you rotate the camera left and right? I also agree that less-straight coastlines would be visually appealing. ...Also, more choke points, please.

Reply to The state of Steam in 2012 in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I love Steam. But please, PLEASE make sure you have an option to play offline, even if I did not remember to select "Start In Offline Mode" . What I mean is, if I am uses Steam, and suddenly I lose Internet without toggling the "Start In Offline Mode" option, please let me still run FE. Some games let you do this, and some do not. That is the only problem I have with Steam.

Reply to Diplomacy annoyance and pioneer spam in FE Beta Elemental Forums

As it stands now, it seems like the developer's original idea was "The player has to defend their borders, so you can go wherever you want." But then they realized this was not very fun (and frequently frustrating) and reached an internal compromised that "Well, the player can make them leave if they want to, but we still really like the idea of having to defend your borders." The problem is that this just creates needless busy work and is not fun. Devs, you cannot have it both ways.
