Reply to [.915 BUG] Ophidians say they're immune to magic, but I just roasted them with fire spells in FE Support Elemental Forums

I believe that "Immune to magic" means +100 to spell resistance. As such it is only to non-damage spells like slow, shrink etc. they are immune to unless you have a very high spell mastery. Fireball, fire dart etc. does not use spell resistance, as they have their own "fire resistance"-stat. Therefore the "Immune to magic" only protects against slow, shrink etc. I also believe they are immune to Titans breath.

The refined techs as StevenAus said, is used to spend your research points, when you are finished researching everything else. As such you can research the refined techs infinitely, meaning you get the bonus everytime you are finished researching them. For example refined agriculture gives you a bonus of +5 to food per grain. Researching this for example two times gives you an additional 1o food per grain to your cities. As such you can use refined agriculture to get your cities to level 4 or

Furthermore the spell can also be used to block other players from building cities. If you do not want a lot of cities, but you still do not want the other players from building more cities, this spell can go in and block the area. I agree it is overpowered as I can cover every tile on a large map with this spell - preventing the computer from building cities or reaping resources. I can also scout an area and later on cast this spell if I want a particular resource I di

- Wealthy (Sovereign starts with 150 gildar) is too weak and should be "+ 25 % gildar per turn" I just believe that 25% is too strong, especially in late game. More resonable would probably be 5 or 10%.

From the article linked in #19, it seems there are new features in the coming betas: - (a lot) of new spells, Tidal Wave, dispel magic, on city - Weapons will have more abilities as already mentioned by Brad in other posts, swords = counterattack, axes = backswing, spears = cancel out other weapons abilities - Seems that pikes are good against horses, or it is indicated that specific weapons might be good against specific units, From the article: " Alternative

Reply to [Suggestion] Allow the troop size to be upgraded in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="1" id="3103446"]I don't really even understand the concept of troop size. What exactly are we researching? "You know guys...I was thinking...our troops are pretty good, they work pretty solidly in groups of three...but I was thinking that they would be even more powerful in groups of five." "What?!? Five? Is that even possible? How could five people work together to kill things? &nbsp

Can you dispel spells e.g. enchantments on champions/cities. For example the AI often cast Curse city, Antipathy on cities. Or do you need to cast the "counter"-spell like Bless city.

That would be definitive. I expect they will, when the game is finalized. Based on Brad's comments about Beta 3 and Beta 4 I don't expect that to be for another 6 months or so. In the meantime we'll make do with threads like this. &nbs

[0.86] Merchant building gone?? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I am currently playing a game 0.86, where I cannot build the building merchant (one of the early buildings at city levle 2 I think). From the Hiergammon it states that the merchant is available with the tech Cooperation. However I cannot see the merchant building in the build list. When one of my cities levelled I saw I could chose a building 'Merchant' providing 2 gildar as a level-up-building. Is the merchant moved from ordinary buildings to city

If you built a city on a 4/3 spot with forest on some of the surrounding tiles, and if you remove the forest either by building or just remove them, will the material for this city be different. Also if you snake your city towards forest or other terrain features (mountain, river, mines etc.) can you increase the original yield for a city?

[0.86 BUG] Crash in the map setting screen in FE Support Elemental Forums

In the map setting screen, if the map type is set to 'Random' and I scroll, when the cursor is on top of the field for the map type with the value 'Random', the game will crash. I believe it might be due to map-type-field not having multiple values, which can be cycled through.

I also think that the timelin around Carrodus/Tarth/Capitar is a little bit confusing. I have tried to place the events in the order I believe they might have been meant to be in. Of course this is Brad's decision, alone, how the timeline should be. I just wish for a confirmation that the time line is correct. I am not sure about the birth of Irane should be before or after the Great Rebellion as she could have born in either times. 110 A.C. - The leaders of Calder meet with Wald

As Phoenix mentions above, it seems that Gal Civ II and Elemental share a common lore, something like the concept of Spore. Here you have the "local" world of Elemental, and you also have the space-faring universe of Gal Civ II: Dread Lords. The following text might contain spoilers to Gal Civ II. Taken from Wikipedia :

How do you remove buildings and units from the queue in War of Magic Stardock Forums

How do you remove buildings and units from the building/training queue. This is really annoying if you realize that you would rather have trained the mighty dragon instead of some puny peasant equipped with sword and shield, which takes forever like 6 turns. I have been told to right-click on the icon for the specific building/unit I want removed/deleted from the queue. However this does not work nor does it pressing 'Delete', backspace etc. when the mouse pointer is hovering above th
