Reply to [.981] What the hell happened to Taxes? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I really like the new tax system. Makes it harder to get the gold you need. I don't like that none to low is a 40 point difference. Imo, the rate should increment by 20 points each time: -20, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100; coorisponding naming equivelants can be: charitable, relaxed, low, average, high, oppressive, tyrannical. This approach would give the player a wide flexibility in how to tax citizens. Imo, the unrest should not be the only bonus/penalty

Reply to [0.981][Balance] Blindness on Darkling Warriors in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I like the currentl potency of the blindness spell. I just don't like that it doesn't end. I would think a spell that powerful would wear off after about 10 turns. This way, you get smacked around a bit, yet may recover if you last long enough. Don't weaken the spell. That completely removes it's point.

Reply to [0.981 BALANCE] Hit Points too low? I'm taking a lot of one-shot deaths. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I really like the hp reduction. As to Gilden getting a bonus, they have the least magic and so have to rely on melee combat more. As to Paradin and Resolin, they depend on magic, each in a differnt way. They should focus there efforts there...

More playing notes: [Applause] Like the extra cost added to purchasing horses. 120 gildar is a fair amount. [Applause] Really liked that the tactical battle took the dark chasm from nearby on the strategic map and added it to the tactical map. Makes you feel like you are fighting the battle on actual land… [Applause] Really like that you can disenchant your city from the city details window!! Really slick! [Appl

Imo, enchantments should be balanced as follows: Inspiration - +1 reseach/essence - 10 mana cost - extremely useful and well balanced. Meditation - +1 mana/essence - 10 mana cost - extremely useful and well balanced. Enchanted Hammers - +1 materials - 10 mana cost - acceptable if low unrest, but balanced.

Reply to [.981 bug] City builds something when I double-click it in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yeah, I've mentioned this one a few times. It's really annoying cause what is happening is the first click brings up the city UI, and the second click assumes you want to build the topmost highlighted building from the build list. I definately agree that double-click should bring up the city details screen. I strongly recommend that the build list NOT have the top item highlighted so that there is no chance of accidental builds. There are times where it is possib

Ready for more game time. I am currently at season 57 and just installed the 0.981.2 patch (had to get rid of that ping!). Yes…. I’m loading my old game. As I understand, not much has changed to impact crashes. We’ll see where this goes… [Suggestion] Would be nice if the saved game automatically attached the season # you were on.

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="5" id="3238697"] Quoting DsRaider, reply 2 Can we also get a Adventurer's Boon nerf. At +10 hp it's a no brainer, and is counteracting the champion hp nerf. Dude, it was already nerfed. It was 15 before. It's starting to become not worth it. [/quote] Agreed. +10 is right about where it should be.

Reply to Suggestion for reworking the 'Road Building' trait in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Interesting idea. Definately has potential. I would recommend that the Path of the Govenor receive the ability ot build roads right away. The fact that it's a separate rare feat is just too annoying. Merging with the OP's idea, it would be icing on the cake if the govenor could build stretches of road from the same confines of his own city.

Reply to [0.981] Path of the Defender in FE Support Elemental Forums

I'll pick Path of the Defender over Path of the Warrior everytime. The extra 30 health is amazing! So much so, that I saw the balanced the Adventurers Boon feat to grant 10 hp instead of the previous 15....and it's still a rare feat. imo, defender should only have +1/lvl and maybe a bit of a higher initiative so that the hero can move into the enemies path quicker to absorb the blows.

I almost clicked 'good', but my cursor ended up over 'fair'. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game...but...the replayability just isn't there yet. Come turn 100, it's a boring world. However, that said, I've been really impressed with the number of balance issues and bug fixes that have been dealt with over the past week. Therefore, I can definately see beta 5D getting a 'good' from me if trends continue. If the replayability in

So, 0.981 has been released and I've been playing... Had a city where a forest was located diagonal to it. I was unable to build a lumber mill right away. However, once a few other buildings were placed adjacent to the forest, the option eventually showed up to build the lumber mill. I have not tried to 'snake' more than this distance yet. Has anyone had successful snaking experiances such that we can confirm Stardock reintroduced this mechanic back into the

Reply to Quickness? Really? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Maybe haste just has to be nurfed to: +1 init +1 init/air shard Thus, casting haste with 0 air shards is equivelant to the quickness feat. Both are desireable. If you have 4-5 shards, your in the +5 range. Still good, but not +16 good.

Reply to Turning a portion of your faction into ai operated 'zones' in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Civ IV had this in the form of colonies. Worst mechanic ever, imo, as the AI never did what you would have intended them to do, and they always eventually turned against you. Similarly, having the AI take over aspects of management for your city developments would be tricky as everything is tied down to a single queue.
