[0.99][Bug] ZOC lines dissapear in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Sometimes when playing through a game, the ZOC will simply dissapear. I only really noticed it when Tarth kicked me out of their kingdom for tromping around one of their outposts - I thought I was just exploring open land! A game exit will get the ZOCs back, so save-game file would be useless - I'll try and get a screen shot of it next time it happens.

Reply to [.952 Bug] Persistent: Wildlands don't clear when you've saved / reloaded after their quest has initiated in FE Support Stardock Forums

I should mention this was with the Asag wildland. Killed everything in there, got the heart or Morain. Dialogue box closes and nothing is there next turn. Wildlands still wild, quest still tell me to "clear the corrupted tiles" and the heart isn't doing anything for my chosen city (not even listed in details). I upload the saves later tonight

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="7" id="3252535"]That's why you zoom out, angle, move the map before you hit the spell hotkey. Also, right-click releases the spell from the cursor if your not happy. I guess I disagree that edge-scrolling is a must-have issue.[/quote] Yeah, I know how it how it works. But the suggestion to make it work better (not to mention internally consistent) is a good one for all the same reasons

This would be nice. But as far as I can tell, there is not.

Still happening. I finally managed to get an army good enough to clear one of these, and poop - nothing.

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="5" id="3252500"]You guys know about click'n'drag, right? Edge-scrolling is so 1990's... [/quote] Click and drag is not so good when it becomes "click and accidentally fireball only 1 enemy instead of him and his 3 friends". Do you know how many level ups it take to get a defender with 100% fire resist? I put a lot of work into that - least i should get is a tactical ploy gauranteed to draw all the troops into one tight group an

Wolves are weak. try using the token one you can get. Great Wolf's Howl is medium-strong. I avoid the Great wolf for a long time.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="69" id="3252379"]But in Fallen Enchantress, if I might be so bold, you can set your units to auto-play and know that the computer players will play it competently. Maybe not as good as an expert player but well into that "good enough" realm for most players. Playing out the tactical battle should give some advantage to the human player vs. autoplay. But it shouldn't take an obvious defeat and turn it into a victory. It should be mo

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="70" id="3252381"]The game's tactical combat is limited, but not unfun. I enjoy it, but it could use a few tweaks, like having archers in back. Limiting range would also be nice, but not entirely necessary at this point. [/quote] Are you playing .990? Archers are pretty much always in the back.

[quote who="mastroego" reply="67" id="3252368"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 52 Regarding the tactical battle discussion, it's a very tight balance there. Because the game should be won and lost based on the civilization you've constructed over hundreds of turns, not how well you use your units in tactical battles. As some of you know, I lobbied for terrain and other elements in tactical battles and was ultimately convinced that this would simply result in the game boil

Reply to [1.0] [Suggestion] Tactical maps should scroll when you get to the edge of the screen (like in Strategic) in FE Support Stardock Forums

Agreed - it's sometimes rough casting Fireball when you've moved your Mage to the back of the map and your target is 15 tiles away off-screen. It's too much work.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="59" id="3252304"]People can judge anything, anyway they want to, but if they express feelings loudly that have no merit or logic, then they can also expect to be shown to be an asshole. I am frankly very, very tired of people hating things and calling them bad for stupid fucking reasons. I don't understand why they have to live in such a black and white world where everything is either great or terrible. And frankly, there are some

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="52" id="3252260"]I think a lot of the criticism of Civ V is due to people who loved Civ IV wanting Civ V to be a more polished version. I don't think that's really fair. It should be judged on its own merits.[/quote] Spoken like a true game Developer. It's entirely fair. In fact, nothing in this world is so fair as what people will and will not like.

Forget Ctrl+N... give me Ctrl+L (quick load) too! I seriously can't stand getting 3 leather boot for my Sovereign when I KNOW that there are boots and cuirasses in those treasure tiles! Even if Ctrl+L crashes the game as much as loading does not - I'd be pretty happy!

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="1" id="3251682"]The game is rock stable for me on both XP and Win7.

Reply to [.99 BALANCE] Many small cities vs. Few large cities in FE Beta Stardock Forums

I like where you are going but I think you might have not included in your mechanics the concept of choosing growth over materials and essence in your city location. If you have a garden and granary and you aren't getting to level 3, it's possible you've chosen a spot with too little grain? Like you are choosing the 3/2/2 tile over the 4/2/1 tile or the 3/3/1 tile over the 5/2/0 tile almost all the time... I do like the idea of +X per city level. That sho

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="52" id="3251621"]The thing is, I don't think the mana cost is the problem. It's how quickly the spell is available. [/quote] I was in a game last night where my starting location was on the western edge of the map with a 25 tile long mountainous region (12-13 tiles north or south either way) on the east. That's a long way to walk around with your first pioneer or hero to scout out. If I'd had lower terrain, I could have cut

This has happened to me as well - this is some of the polish that needs to be put on before release b/c it's the kind of thing people get really frustrated with and projects amateurism. MoM could do this with 8 bits and 320 pixels of UI room.
