Reply to Yes, there are monsters in the world in Everything Else Elemental Forums

"THE object of this volume is not to cast fresh blame on authorities and individuals, nor is it to expose one nation more than another to accusations of deceit. Falsehood is a recognized and extremely useful weapon in warfare, and every country uses it quite deliberately to deceive its own people, to attract neutrals, and to mislead the enemy. The ignorant and innocent masses in each country are unaware at the time that they are being misled, and when it is all over only here and there are th

Man, all this hate and love flying around... I think people need to relax and blow off some Steam! Sorry, lame, I know. For the record no issues with Steam here. Installed it again for SOASE after 10 years or w/e and holy crap, all the old games I had on there from years ago were available for download. I had a library of games on there I completely forgot about.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3307374"] On #1 that is by design.[/quote] Brad - as a player this is an unfuriating design decision as it's nonsensical and kills the fun. I had a game once (Sean's mod) where one spider attacked my city and all my militia plus defenders showed. Right after that a full stack of spiders attacked and only my defenders showed. I lost no units in the first battle - it made no sense for the militia to not show in the 2nd battle. I lost

Reply to [bug] Ai getting prefrential treatment from Ai Monsters in FE Support Elemental Forums

In my humble opinion the current punishment does not fit the "crime". My personal belief is that I'd rather change the consequence of losing a city than change the wandering logic. A single wolf can theoretically attack a city, destroy all inhabitants, raze all the buildings, and salt the earth. Makes zero sense. I'd rather each monster/stack had some kind of damage score (maybe based on cummulative attack of the stack) that decided how much population would be eaten and

Reply to CK2: Legacy of Rome in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Got this as result of Steam Sale. Absolutely fantastic gaming experience. The dynamics between all the vassals makes my head hurt. Trying to master keeping them all weak and politicking each other instead of me. This one and all the DLC will keep me busy for years to come. Dynamite game here.

[quote who="Valentine82" reply="44" id="3283045"]There's also a thread about bumping up the score with overly positive reviews though. Kind of like when Paradox solicited fans to bump up Sengoku, a game I personally loved but got really bad scores for a really good reason (in this case, because like in most of Paradox's GSG's, anyone who didn't already know how to play had to spend hours learning how to do even the most basic tasks)[/quote] Val - you're full of cra

Reply to outpost border & zone of control in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Stacking works awesome - never really had to use it in vanilla but I sure as heck had to use it in Master's Affliction Mod. Vallu hit the nail on the head on how they work. In this first playthrough of Master's Affliction, I used them heavily to control wildlands mobs and fight key battles with bandits and darklings. The buffs from stacking outposts helped a ton (similar to the starbase stacking in GalCiv2). https://forums.elem

Reply to Where Are All the People? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I was recently in a similar situation. Vista 32 bit, 4 GB ram, only 3.2 GB or so visible to OS. Upgraded to Win 7 64 bit and that improvement alone made the game much more enjoyable. Can't give you advice on Win 8 but highly recommend Win 7 64 bit. Giving the game up to that 4GB is like night and day.

Reply to A possible solution to city snaking in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

My two cents: Appears biggest gripe is current vanilla snaking won't allow building river or forest improvements if a river or forest is not in one of the tiles immediate to city hub. Parrotmath's mod fixes that, might be a great thing to put back into vanilla. I don't reasonably see how the devs could ever program the AI to use proper snaking to take advantage of the map I like the current system. You can have it auto, do it manual, w/e floats y
