I've posted on this numerous times as well, let's just leave it at "holy sites" that can be captured and held; could be tied into life / death magic if need be.

Agreed. Visual pointers would be fantastic to help the flow of the game. RPG events are also needed in abundance to keep the flavor of the world alive so that it doesn't turn into a management grind.
Based from what I've seen about the game so far, Stardock does not plan to have 'tatical tiles'. Hopefully I'm mistaken in that assessment though, as I would really love to see this feature added. It doesn't have to be complex. Just a few common tile types: Plains, Hills, Forest, Swamp, Road, Stone Wall, Fire Wall, Darkness Wall. Each having either modifiers to the combat....or specials associated with it.

Also, I was thinking about buyable DLCs that would enable those who want to help out Stardock financialy (I would easily pay 70˘for the game, but I recognize a lot of ppl wouldn't). So, Stardockians, please go with DLCs, but NEVER go with game breaking ones (in terms of money buying be

[quote quoting="post"] I realize FE is still in development, but at this point you guys probably have the major features set in stone. Here are some things I feel is missing from FE, and thus really should go into the sequel. Or you could read it as a list of things missing to take the game from "good" to "great" at release. 1) Sieges. The cooler this is the better the game will be. Mid- and late-game are all about capturing cities (at least it is right now beta3) so it needs

Curious as to how the 'shop' mechanic works...as I have not yet played FE....waiting till beta 4 is released. So far, I visualize shopping as the following, as I totally think this would be a cool and dynamic way of portraying a shop mechanic: Naturally, each city has the ability to build (in beta 4) shops. Cities built as towns (as opposed to conclaves or forts) will gain additional bonuses to shops. They will be upgradable, as all districts will be an

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="35" id="3197975"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 34 EED in-game prerequisites to be meet. Maybe a tech can't be researched unless your champ has reached a certain level....or until you have X cities....or perhaps until you've obtained a dragon's nest or unicorn grove or obtained a magic source.....stuff like that: RPG elements that push you along the game's story arc and open up tech possibilities along the way. <br
My preferance is to have 'interactive research'. I'll explain...and use Gal Civ 2 as an example of opposition since Stardock has a lot of experiance with that game. ;) First off, each new tech should IMPACT the game. I really like how you can research 'swordsmen' and 'axemen', each with unique abilities, instead of researching 'swordsmen +1' and 'swordmen +2'. The later is completely boring and without thought. GalCiv2 unfortunate

I don't think synergy of Champ with Champ is a good idea. Afterall, champs already get an XP penalty for joining up in the same group. To make matters worse, you only realize this fact AFTER the battle is done and XP is divided up. There should be some warning or icon denoting the limted XP that your champs are getting. What I do think is a good idea is to have some Champ types grant additional tatic bonus to differnet types of troops that are grouped with the
