Reply to [Discussion] City Building in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="i3elial" reply="54" id="3065684"]Another concept to explore is to not allow the player to build any of the buildings but allow the city and its resources therein dictate what it should build. Realistically, why would a merchant setup shop where there is no gold to be had, for instance. Mind you, this isn't something I think is ideal, but worth mentioning nonetheless. I actually quite like the idea of a capital-only empi

Reply to [Suggestion/Discssion] Outposts 20% Cooler in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Mtrixis" reply="49" id="3065242"]I like the ZoC idea, perhaps tie it to a specific type of outpost. Here's some off the top of my head ideas for outpost upgrades: Elemental Tower. Imbued with one of the six elements. Each can cast an appropriate spell at units within its zoc, life can heal or buff a friendly unit, death can drain health or weaken, fire can throw a firebolt or immolate, etc. Military Outpost. Always garrisoned with X basic milit

Reply to [ Discussion] Do we really need 4 tiers of unit sizes in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I would say keep the system as it is but when balancing, only balance the 9-man units against high level heroes. Then balance the smaller squads accordingly. I also don't like the damage spells which multiply on damage with troop count. Why would I want to spend time researching and resources to build a big army if it's just going to make my enemy's mage instantly more powerful. Not good.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="66" id="3065008"]But that would make a balanced XP system more difficult, because using only one or two heroes would be the best path to get powerful heroes. [/quote] Exactly...if you want powerful heroes there should be risk involved. If you want safe, albeit slower, leveling, you would build a larger party. I'm not sure how this would be unbalanced.

I agree, there should be multiple inlets for acquiring heroes, including: map locations quests unique combinations of buildings or empire choices (ie diplomacy with other factions) attract a hero occasional member of your populace becomes a hero great spells summon a hero

Well both of those "other side of the coin" points are fairly nit-picky, and I would still highly prefer splitting xp over bloating xp, but I'll play the game as they have it and then report my thoughts later.

[quote who="Mtrixis" reply="32" id="3064008"]I don't have much interest in dynasties, but I do think that the current implementation of hero acquisition is _very_ bad. There are balance problems all over the place with having randomly placed heroes that can be killed by the AI. The players (and the AI) need a way of 'generating' new heroes via payment/research/etc.[/quote] Yup. High population + high level buildings = greater chance to pop heroes. Or one or t

[quote who="Markon" reply="9" id="3063120"]While i love the idea of shared XP, the danger with splitting it perfectly evenly becomes this: "Player A, through luck and skill, has managed to take 2 heroes and level them very high quite quickly. Player B, being more cautious, and not being nearly as luck as player A (no fault of his own) has 4 heroes that have been traveling together, and that have gotten a few level ups. &nbsp
