I prefer the middle of the road. The need for both few juggernaut AND many minions....but obviously not the the extreme of either. The big units have to be scaled in upkeep enough that a player can only have a few of them. Scouting and troop position becomes key in making sure your big force can meet up with opponents big force. At the same time, you don't want to have your juggernaut troops taking out all the little things. That's overkill....and wasting th

Something to think about: Terraforming... and the utter mayhem it can cause.

I am a REALLY big fan of how MoM accomplished terraforming. The spells were 'toggle' based. Spell A: Turn Plains to Hills OR Hills to Plains. Spell B: Turn Iron to Gold OR Gold to Iron Those sorts of things. Building Mountains or Sinking lands was never allowed and shouldn't be....too game warping. Then there were the chaos spells. Global spells that really caused mayham, but at random. They did the mountains and sinking lands stuff...

I can see both sides of this coin. One the one hand, I totally understand Kongdej 's position and can agree that the first city shouldn't be overly emphasized. We are building an empire afterall....and especially with the 3 new city specializations....at minimum now we're going to need 3 good city spo

I'm going to copy & paste comments I made to the sovreign in another post.....generates more conversation. [quote who="Malsqueek" reply="1" id="3171229"]I agree that the Sovereigns need to be better indicated as "more" than their champion counterparts. Otherwise, why don't we have 35 factions? These sovereigns are world-benders for a reason. I agree that a large portion of the solution lies in how they handle magic, but would be very against

[quote who="marionesi" reply="147" id="3190017"]@GFireflyE Actually you may be right, if things go messy with overlapping ZoC's of each single outpost, it may be better just avoid stacking ZoC's. As for the city types, I am happy that you agree with me, although rock-paper-scisssors may not be the best example for what I had in mind. In rps everything is random and there is no skill required to play. What I meant is that there should be reasons to go with d

@ marionesi Step 1: Starbases: I would sooner like to see a "you get the bonus or you don't" approach. None of this 'stacking' stuff. Stacking stuff can be abused. Step 3: Fantastic idea. Obtaining a special bonus for maximizing a shard is a really cool idea. Step 4: I too

And it's funny cause they're doing a 32-bit win 8 too. It's awesome cause the people are actually having a voice this time around. Most often the mob is ignored. Companies can put out 64-bit only apps....sure, but they cut out a large portion of their sales market to do so. Hense, they've been making it 32-bit compatable to make more money. That's the cycle. Greed. Not user restrictions.

Auto turn would be annoying. When do you go do your city maintenance??? I tend to move my troops...then do city maintenance....then do strategic anaysis. Autoturn would just get in the way of things not happening when they are suppose to.....phew....good thing there is an option to turn it off. XD

This is definately something that I've raised my eye about in FE. The leaders don't die. Why? They're on the battlefield. They are a unit. They should be able to die. It might really really suck for your leader to die.....but that's life. I propose "succession planning" be implemented. Let me explain. Your leader has just fallen. Woe is your great nation. What ever will you do? Do you give up? Do you concede? Sure, that might

I've never used autobuild functions in any 4x game. AI can wreck things so fast. Games like Distant Worlds is especially annoying as it's a management game more than a 4x game, except that instead of managing, all you end up doing is fixing the AI's mistakes. My opinion is that this is an added and unneccessary function that should not be focused on. The point is to play the game...not have the AI play it for you.
