Reply to AI Improvement Suggestions: Consolidated Thread for Brad's Attention in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="12" id="3402133"]Ouch, just saw Pariden, against whom I am playing, had built 2 of 3 towers needed for the Forge of the Overlord, while I declared war on her. Approaching her cities, I can see that the third tower is in the building queue in a Conclave -- BUT in front of this, she had queued the training of an archer, taking 6 turns. The city directly adjacent to this conclave is a Fortress, which was set for producing Research. Excuse me, I ha

I do recall your posts on that a while back. I'm glad that you were able to receive such a positive and promising resolution to the conflict.

Reply to 1 to 2 XP killing strong stack, leveling guide? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Ken Ihrig" reply="2" id="3401477"] This seems like a rather absurd hack to the game to prevent heroes from grouping. If they couldn't deal with it I would have thought they would have just limited a stack to one hero instead of doing really odd things with the XP. Thanks for the info! [/quote] I find it to be a very thematic solution. If you have two heroes, they only need to do half the work to dispatch there foe. They are only going t

Reply to A Few Thoughts about Cities and Sovereigns in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="joeball123" reply="9" id="3401472"]Primal, s/he's looking for a way to make the faction suffer a penalty when the faction's sovereign is defeated, not inflict a penalty on the faction that a sovereign surrenders to. There are a couple lines in ElementalDefs.XML that apply to sovereign revival, but they only reference the mana cost. There may be a way to force add a trait to a sovereign who loses a battle which applies a faction-wide unrest penalty and which goes

Reply to Why FE’s AI is good but not as good as GalCiv’s in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="41" id="3395627"]I'm just baffled as to why the AI leaves lairs/monsters (and sometimes even treasures) untouched when it has the strength to obliterate them. [/quote] I don't mind it if AI leaves lairs alone...if the lair isn't bothering the AI's growth/strength....but if they need to kill off the monsters on the lair, they really should take the loot.

Reply to Lets balance the game ourselves! (for ideas and testing results) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote] I don't like to start in poor location with low Grain/Production/Essence and need to press Ctrl+N many times I edited tiles for all resources that they all give at least some essence and made maximum number of tiles 10 instead of 9. Now I often have 4/3/3 tiles almost in every start. This also benefits AI greatly because they can't Ctrl+N and have better settling conditions in future. Important note: essence should not be too high or a player may enchant his ci

[quote who="BabbyLuring" reply="12" id="3401606"]To be fair, the title made it seem like there where more new stuff coming and people got excited which is understandable, though entirely our own fault and not Stardocks in anyway for us making the assumptions [/quote] It's called 'advertising'.

Reply to debug.err and [Bug] reporting included within in LH Support Elemental Forums

drat....that would require me to play a game without mods. Since the deviation SD made by not including snaking, I haven't played a game without at least some mods... The graphic glitch I experience does not happen that often...nor is it consistent. Loading the save would not guarentee the glitch on the same turn.

Reply to AI settles very suboptimal tiles in LH Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Sanati" reply="8" id="3398422"]Hard to say because I've also boosted yields of resources a little, mostly essence, increased resource density a bit, and removed the 9 total yield cap. Most settle-able locations on my maps are pretty good, and they aren't that uncommon, so most AI cities tend to be built on decent yields. Hasn't really changed the number of cities that much, it might be a little lower but that just means the AI builds more outposts, so I don't think

Reply to City Snaking - Question in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Illauna" reply="7" id="3399690"]Snaking can be very useful for making more city plots near you available. Once you extend your borders out 5 squares from the center there is a chance you will make a plot fertile enough to plant a city down. This is another reason to pump up your zoc on your cities.

[quote who="Sanati" reply="56" id="3399638"] Have a unit's wages increase by like 10% per level. I think this change is already necessary, wages are currently pretty meaningless especially if you focus on fewer high power units which is already an easy and valid tactic by farming endless monster spawns. An elite and highly experienced unit should cost a lot more than a unit fresh out of the training yard. [/quote] Very interesting. I also think very relevant. Curre
