Reply to All of that scrap metal just goes to waste. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Capturing ships during combat seems a bit absurd (Space Marines!), especially considering were unlikely to see controlled combat. Boarding modules could give a small chance per module/enemy ship to capture a ship on victory though. Wrecks spawning after a battle and being an exploitable resource though seems like a great idea. Could even have some natural ancient wrecks. Salvaging modules that allow you to exploit old battlefields for metal and small chance of discoveri

Reply to Tactical combat. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The reason I never played Gal Civ 2 was the unbelievably awful combat. I dont mean the lack of tactical combat but the almost comically horrible "put 1 point in anti lasers to counter 1 point in lasers" rock paper scissors system and ships float around in circles like dead fish in a tank randomly firing off weapons. Tactical combat may not be a good fit for GalCiv3 but please fix the weapons and combat movies. The ships should be in formations you pick

Ignys are a gift. They provide a ton a xp and a high level loot for almost no challenge. You can kill them with a lv 3 hero and the starting units, bumping you up like 2-3 levels. Darklings and Wildlings cant hurt units with shields and a single piece of leather armor.

Yes Mages are useful from beginning to the end of the game. If the AI was smarter is could design units to resist your spells but that's beyond it so nuking armies is pretty easy.

Huh, how did I miss this thread? Giant Form ? Its a good spell at 30 mana to double your attack with no cooldown, but I feel that it fails as a lv 5 Earth spell . It would be more fun if it cost around 60 mana and added a health bonus as well. Its seems very strange that the ultimate tactical earth spell that 10x your size adds no health. Would be awesome if a giant form champion had the same booming steps as the Pyre of Man, hey are the same size after

Reply to [0.91] Heavy Armor Too Slow? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Chain gives a penalty of -2 initiative now that gloves have no penalty. I don't even know what the Plate Penalty is, as before I ever unlocked it I faced Yithril in a war of extermination and won easily when they started producing Oppressors in plate with their 8 initiative. Also I remember how bad Plate was the last time it had a penalty per item. Plate should be a great bonus in combat, if it needs a cost it should come from huge production and metal costs, not the fact it weigh

Reply to Judging Assasins in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Thanks for the input. Good to know its not just me. Some great suggestions about accuracy, criticals and damage range. Any of these systems seems like an improvement. An interesting fix to accuracy, would be too make accuracy (the stat, not the trait) increase critical chance as well. Would make accuracy better and get rid of boring traits for assassins. You'd have to scale back unit bonuses to accuracy but that needs to be done anyway. [quote who="lpisko" reply="6

Judging Assasins in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Ive played through LH games a few times, killing Yithril/Gilden/Tarth a bunch and conquering a dozen wildlands. Very commonly I play Umber and get Lilith Serrata; the lv1 Urxen archer. I was just recently playing a game and had the option of picking her again and just before I clicked the button I realized a few things. I have never since the release of FE gotten a bow better than the venomous shortbow, and that only once months ago. Must have gotten close to a thousand items

Reply to Armor Nerf? in LH Support Elemental Forums

Initiative seems pretty dysfunctional. Its really important to have a decent initiative, high initiative can be countered with defender units but even they need 14+ initiative. Yithril especially needs to have reduced initiative penalties on armor. They like to build Oppressors with like 10 initiative (Full plate and Maces), they'd be threatening if they ever moved. A good example of how bad some armor is: Chain Guantlets 2 defense -1 initiative. Thats right, they trade 1

I'm really concerned that the AI will fail hard when using abilities with no cooldowns. Already bandits will surround a unit, then all throw knives at it from melee range, doing far less damage than just hitting it. Ogres also will throw rocks at melee range targets when just bashing them is by far smarter. Black widows never attack the first two turns and by the time they are done webbing and bedazzling my melee units have ripped them apart. Its easy to picture water shri

Reply to LH is close, but needs a bit more attention on the heroes in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I find the lv3 heroes to be the worst by far. By the time they show up I have leveled Sov and first hero to lv 3-5 and because they started lv 1 they have more traits. I'd agree that more traits for high lv heroes would be good but I don't like potential, especially when everyone gets it. When everyone has potential, No one does.

Reply to [0.87 balance] Eliminating faction could give fame in LH Support Elemental Forums

Id say both defeating enemy Sov's (the first time) and entire factions should give fame for sure. Defeating a faction/Sov should be treated like a quest with a reward screen. Also I don't think defeating a faction is genocide. The population in their conquered cities is still around. (Unless they surrender, in which case I always thought they all suicided from depression). If you get the unrest down, you could even have them as happy members of your empire.
