The casting length for the Spell of Making should depend upon the map size. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Say, 10 turns for the Tiny map, 15 for Medium, etc. That way if some Sov in one corner of a huge continent decides to cast the spell, others (and by others I mostly mean the player) will actually have enough time to stop him.

Reply to How fast Fallen Enchantress keeps getting better in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Frequent smaller updates are the way to go imho. They allow to quickly patch up the hot issues, yet are small enough that the introduction of new bugs is limited. Ten .0X hotfixes are better than one .X update.

Sovereigns need a entry in their profiles. Let's face it, Porcupine and Ceresa should never be anything other than Magi. Magnar is also better off as a Mage. Markin is best as a Defender... etc. With Champs this doesn't matter as much, since most later champs come already specialized.

Yep. Will be running it on autopilot to see which faction consistently prevails (if any).

I'm thinking of an experiment, need some ideas... in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Thinking of making a dozen factions, half Kingdoms, half Empires. All with different faction traits, but all of the same race: Mancers. Just to see how faction traits by themselves stack up against one another without racial traits muddying the waters. What would be good Faction/Sov combos to include in the list?

Reply to [Spears] Help/Question in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Since we're speaking about spears, is there anything that is resistant to spears? Be it a monster or armor type, anything. Are spears bad vs anything?

Reply to Tired of all Enemy Sovs being Assassins in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Agreed. Seeing Porcupine with the Path of the Assassin makes me a sad panda.

Is it possible to keep the range unlimited and simply implement ranged based accuracy penalties instead?

[quote who="joeball123" reply="31" id="3278032"]...I think Noble might be good for a warrior sovereign, as you can take the Cruel weakness for +1 attack and have a net of +0% unrest, but it's otherwise uninteresting and relatively weak.....[/quote] You can take Cruel without gimping yourself with Noble. The ill effects of the Cruel trait are vastly overstated.

[quote who="Zwollenaer" reply="1" id="3277975"]I once made a custom roleplayed Amarian faction. The story concept was that they were a Magocracy of rebellious mages opposed to Queen Procipunee and the rest of the nobility. Being a splinter faction of outcast mages and no nobility = no knights, I figured I should pick the "unarmored" trait for them. Storywise I reasoned that lack of restraint, ethics and reckless use of magic should make them vulnerable to it's effects, so I picked "weakne

And if he was, what traits would be the closest to recreating him in FE? I imagine the military traits would be best, but I'd like to be sure.

[Suggestion] Garrisoned troops should cost less in upkeep. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Or no upkeep at all. Also, it would be nice if outposts came with some token defensive troops and could be stocked with additional garrison forces. This would encourage strategic outpost placement.

Reply to Lord Xia's Treatise on Sovereign professions. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Sounds right. I'd just wanna add that Warlock is a must for a Mage sovereign. It basically can turn the sov into a one (wo)man army. Monsters that are deadly under normal circumstances (like assassin demons) become trivial because they get wiped out instantly.
