Reply to [Suggestion] Champs/Sovs not holding a weapon and no shield should get +5 to Initiative. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

i agree, this does sound reasonable. Although, something to consider is that this mechanic already sort-of exists. You get initiative penalties if you're wearing too much gear, and it's concievable that a shield could push you over that. but i agree it isn't enough. A "Free hand" initiative bonus would be good too.

Reply to Early Conquest is too easy in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

the autogarrisons definitely need buffed, i think we can agree there. I'd propose that all players' capital cities recieve some kind of inherent bonus too. A much stronger garrison, compared to normal cities. and it would be nice to have free (or halved) mana and gold upkeep costs, for units which are stationed in a city (including champions with mana-costing auras)

Reply to So what's the status on stacking on abilities, etc.? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

there needs to be non-stackability for auras too. that is, unit abilities that benefit the entire army

Reply to [Suggestion] Is Beastlord OP?. Should tamed beasts have mana upkeep? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

beastlord isn't overpowered at all. The proposed mana costs are certainly far too high and would break the trait. Most beasts aren't that great, or worth very much. Most of them have little or no defense, and they don't hit too hard either. There are some, like the Great Wolf, who are a bit much. but lesser creatures are meh. I don't know any beasts that have ranged attacks, or vast amounts of defense. the problem is that earlygame rushing

Reply to Get rid of the stacks of doom in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

i think stacks of doom are far less of a problem here, than in other games The strategic spells allow you to scupper them pretty well, and the city defenders that respawn at full health after every battle help to offset being worn down. I never have to USE stacks of doom, certainly. A few decent champions can hold off massive armies, single handedly. And magic is powerful enough to wipe the battlefield in a single spell, sometimes.

[1.01] BUG: Rahelle the Scorpion is not immune to poison in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Rahelle the Scorpion, is an empire champion. she's recruited at lv1 but comes with a couple of abilities, including death magic. also a poisoned dagger. She's a girl rescued by a swarm of scorpions and raised by a hermit. The following is an excerpt from her bio: "But the Destiny answered my prayers, and sent to me a thousand scorpions who bore me upon their backs to the safety of a hermit's cave. Since that day I have been immune to the scorpion's veno

Reply to Catapults Are Great in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

catapults don't really fit. they're too lategame, and by the time they exist they don't really have much of a niche. Earlier catapults are needed On a related note, the strike garrison is stupid and needs to be removed from the game. i'd rather not consider any ranged unit's merits based on using that or not.

Reply to FE race comparison... (Warning: wall of text) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

i don't agree with most people's assessment of pariden. their spellbooks are hugely advantageous, and their ability to summon outposts for a mere 50 mana is incredible. Their staffs also make decent early/mid units, and you can get some nice initiative bonuses from stacking air mana. Altar are the best by far though

Reply to Henchmen male only? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Another issue to add on the broken pile that is henchmen >.> I definitely agree, i want prettier henchpeople too ^.^ While they're at it, remove the preset face for them. It's annoying that they always have gruffy looking stubble and absolutely cannot be clean shaven. Also the name needs changed to something less gender specific. Like "Lieutenants" or "Officers"

Reply to Can anybody explain how "Rush" buying is calculated? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

you don't need to know the exact math to understand it. Consider the theory: Time is money. The amount of time a building will take, is a product of the cost of the building, and the industrial output of the city making it. When buying things, your primary goal is simply to "buy time". Specifically, to buy as much time as possible, for as little money as possible. This means there are several ways to prioritise your buying: 1. Buy more often in low-productio

Reply to Dragon eye quest (spoilers) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

No it's not absurd. In fact, it was frankly underwhelming to me. Did you notice the "Epic" difficulty level the quest is tagged with? This means "Stay the hell away unless you have an endgame army" I went in there with four powerful champions (lv20+), three units of second-level ice-staff mages, and two units of full platemail armoured footsoldiers with tower shields and athican longswords. I won the battle pretty easily actually, my footsoldiers got inciner

Reply to [1.01][bug] Bless City both requires and uses essence in FE Support Elemental Forums

i do think bless city is a bit too expensive, but i can see the reasoning. without a prohibitively expensive cost, it might become the Conqueror's Best Friend, allowing you to even-more-easily steamroll your enemies and instantly subjugate captured cities with a single spell

Early Conquest is too easy in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I'm trying an experiment. I picked Yithril, gave my soverign a shortsword and gauntlets of grazna, and set out questing on turn 2. I set all the AIs on "Hard" difficulty After a short while i got ahold of a warding kite shield, a champion to accompany me (i took her poison dagger), unit of panca archers, and a sand golem. With this motley crew of 4 units, i went on a warpath, declaring war on everyone i met and invading them immediately. It's now turn 41. I have

Reply to Scroll Library in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

the problem with magic scrolls is that nobody will use or look at them if they're too much of an investment. i'd vote on weakening the spell, rather than increasing the gold cost, imo

[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="1" id="3274457"] However, you can take advantage of this to give him extra accessory bonuses so go to town on it.[/quote] Are you saying you can exploit this to equip 8 accessories on a henchman? that would be pretty overpowered. As if henchmen weren't broken enough already :p

Reply to [1.01] bug Torch Bearer in FE Support Elemental Forums

hmm, i don't like this behaviour at all. What's the problem with being able to sell things anyway? sell prices are so low it'd be practically worthless, and you DID pay the labour cost to make those weapons in the first place. More valuable weapons take a higher labour cost to produce.

Reply to Remember previous city owner in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

it would be nice if the diplomatic AI was more considerate in general. Like when one of my cities is annihilated by a rampaging wild juggernaut, and my altarian "allies" move in a sneaky pioneer 2 turns after the city is gone. Or when a peaceful neighbor shoves outposts into tiny spaces between my cities, blocking a road tile and stealing a warg den In general i don't see alot of point in alliances or peace. The AI still behaves aggressively and doesn't respect y

nine units, with all the armysize boosting techs. an individual unit can be anywhere from 1-7 beings, depending on what type it is. eg, dragons and champions are a one-person unit, but normal troops come in larger numbers so technically the largest army you can have is 63 people

Reply to Waerloga the Chicken Weakling in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

he is far, far far too weak. The first time i got to him i nearly cried at how easy it was :( i killed him in 3 hits. i actually stood around skipping a few turns to give him a few chances, in hope that he might pull off something spectacular, but he never did. He needs at least 20 times his current HP value. seriously, it should be a long and epic struggle. i'm not sure what else he can do, but a lot more initiative, and the impulsive trait, would help him to do so

Reply to "offer surrender" in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

In the diplomacy menu, things on the left side are things that you are offering. things on the right side are things the enemy is offering. "Offer surrender" means you are placing an offer of your surrender on the table. You are the one giving up. For the enemy to surrender, there's a "Demand surrender" option. which makes them surrender if they accept it. they very very very rarely do this. i once managed to make magnar surrender, aft
