[quote who="kosiam" reply="18" id="3285611"] I personally consider the tactic of kiting to be cheating, as it simply exploits faults in the AI.[/quote] To use the kiting or luring monsters to avoid them attack a city, is like a monster awaken by an AI outpost that attacks your city. So you have to suffer for the AI's fault, but you can't do the same to avoid it? Nah, call it explot or whatever. But meanwhile monsters do not attack the outpost that caused them roam, I w

This is how could be: Upgrading Towns - (3) +%5 HP /all units (4) +%5 HP /all units (5) +%5 HP /all units. Maybe something else, like some more faction food - (3) + 3 production in all cities

Reply to City level-ups in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Some of my impressions: - Few cities vs Many cities . I think here lies the main discussion. I think developers wanted this game to focus in few but powerfull cities. That is the reason to link prestige to growth, isn't it? But many strategics rely on having many cities although undeveloped, because this allows 1) expand dominion and control resources 2) expand economy (each city = +1 gildar +1 research at the begining) 3) avoid AI expansion With this

[quote who="dihir" reply="40" id="3285603"]One issue with quest maps is how little traveling you need to go through to complete a quest. This is fine for the initial quests but once you have done a few quests it's reasonable for the positions to be randomized over larger and larger areas.[/quote] It seems that might help, untill you see that, instead of travelling far, you just buy more quest maps untill you get a "quest route".

Well, if I don't save/reload in a game, then it means I I had a strong strategic and a good starting, and then I move to the next step of difficulty. If I have to save/reload more than "reasonable", then I have to move backwards again. My last 3 games in challenging were easy, but now I'm on hard and I'm getting lots of injuries. I prefer to not save/reload as much as possible. But sometimes you have to decide between rage quitting a game that lasted hours and start again, or to r

[Suggestion] A guide or a wiki for newbie Modders in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

This game is said to be highly moddable as a main feature. So I recently started my first steps as a modder, for the first time in my life. My intention is to make small changes, in aspects that I think I could taylor to my tastes, instead of getting tired of posting once and again asking the developers this or that, or trying to find if the community shares the same tastes to make some pressing to them, or somebody that just made exactly what I wanted. Things like roadbuildin

Reply to What's the most overpowered strategy you can think of? in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I started a game with altar and Relias, to test this tactic. It took me some more turns to get the henchmen, but once I got them...OMG! this should be forbidden. Quest Maps + Stacked Shieldwall + High XP gain (potential, traineer) + Lightning hammer it is simply too much. But wait, you still have to add, when leveling, other traits like tactician or leadership... There is no fix for this. Let's say, for example, that Shieldwalls did not stack, you still get

Reply to [WIP][Mod] Roadbuilding Pioneers and Roadbuilding Unit in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Well, as the mancers can roadbuild with pioneers and they have no upkeep, I think it balanced as far as the game can be modded now. The idea is that each road piece took some gildar, like 2 - 5, apart from the upkeep. Mancers got that for free. But roadbuilding seems to be hardcoded. If our experts find a way to attach a cost to each road piece, I'd be happy to do it. Even more, I would like that each pice of road would take all the turn, not like now, that you can move-road

1. It seems I changed the production costs and forgot to redo. It's Ok. 2. I deleted 1 and they showed now. Roadbuilders are here :) 3. I think 0.3 per member, a 0.9 total/turn is a fair price to pay. I added 35 , so they have 75 production cost. More than a scout, not so much than a pioneer. 4. It took me a lot to manage with Roadbuilding and Roadbuilding_Level, and finally

[WIP][Mod] Roadbuilding Pioneers and Roadbuilding Unit in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Well, it all comes from wanting that all pioneers could build roads, not only the mancers. I have no idea of modding, and I have not seen a "guide for FE newbie modders yet", but Heavenfall showed me a code that seems to add the trait "roadbuilder" (https://forums.elementalgame.com/434562/page/3/#3284806) And it worked: now all my faction pioneers got the roadbuilding trait.

Very good reading your points, I agree with most of them (and probably most people here too). Same like you, I expected a sucessor for MoM, and although FE still needs some more work, it is providing a lot of fun. With time and modding, I think we will get a super game. In the meanwhile, playing it now is very very funny, and I'm expecting each new patch and more content (more heroes, quests, items, monsters ...). I share your point of view of the end game. I most enjoy in trying
