Reply to I don't want the autowin-battles to happen if my guys are going to lose hit points in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

I would agree that I don't want to auto-resolve an encounter in a situation where a unit of mine will take damage. I also don't want the auto-resolve to make use of my consumables. If it's not clear, I am referring to the auto-resolve that happens on the strategic map automatically - NOT the auto resolve that a player can choose as opposed to a manual battle when the fight is a more even match.

Reply to Big picture notes - after two games of SK in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

I have definitely seen two units occupying the same tile in a tactical battle in SK - in 0.7 I believe. It's possible that I even caught it on video in my LP of the beta. Let me check... Yep! Here it is. This link will take you to Part 4 of my LP on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l6S67LF_is&list=PLu_Uxi6l_RLNIogusjBVuJSD0Df_6qB

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="2" id="3499675"] I like this. I am particularly excited about an easy-to-use quest editor. [/quote] Me too! I usually shy away from modding for most games due to my non-tech background. But writing? That, I can do. I am looking forward to trying my hand at writing some quests for the community to enjoy. Also, I like the art style a whole lot. But, that's just my opinion of course. :) Edit: @Frogboy - what difficulty le

Reply to [Feedback 0.701] Range Combat and Multiple Effects Idea in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

I am certainly in favor of doing something to spice up ranged combat a bit. I like the idea of traits/abilities that take their results from a semi-random table like that. I definitely like the idea of an archer ability to lower initiative - after all, a large part of the role of archers in combat, historically, speaking was to help break up enemy formations as they moved around the battlefield. We don't have formations per se in SK, but initiative is a nice substitute. On the oth

After all, just think what could be done with that Logistics point - a different unit (Pikeman!), a mine, a wheat field,

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="18" id="3499484"] Absolutely. At this point though, archers are somewhat decent if, as you say, keep them out of the line of fire of trog archers. Get some levels under their belts against non ranged enemies, throw some armor on them... they do improve. Also, I'd have to look but are there any spells that help protect from ranged attacks as in FE:LH? [/quote] There is one but I forget the name off hand - essentially the caster sum

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="16" id="3499471"] marlowe, There may be a couple other options, not saying these are all in game now, just options to either use or be added to the game: -Armor up your archers to prevent easy death (which itself may need balancing) -Leave archers behind when attacking a group with trog archers -Craft something that increases initiative for either archers or for another unit that would let it go before those trog a

Reply to Beta 0.7 Feedback (Continued in 0.701 Feedback Thread) in Founders Innovation SorcererKing Forums

In the interests of compiling things in one, main thread... 1) The Sorcerer King seems to send out a lot of 1 unit armies that can often be killed without having a full tactical battle. I assume that the Sorcerer King probably has to do some scouting so I can understand some of that, but he seems to do this A LOT - and to some of the same places over and over again. 2) Sorcerer King units do not attack outposts - is this how it's supposed to work? 3) Suggestion - u

Reply to Don't Go to the Steam Forums! Yikes! in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

I took a quick peek at the Steam forums this morning out of morbid curiosity - kind of like internet rubber necking on the information super highway. Anyway, things seem to have leveled out a bit and I saw quite a few informational/positive posts in the first couple of pages. Maybe some of them are coming around? Edit: On a totally unrelated note - I absolutely agree that the ability for units to pass through tiles occupied by other friendly units is a great change to tactical

Reply to Do people agree with any of these points regarding intangibles and randomness? in Sorcerer King SorcererKing Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="3499340"] We don't plan to hide the intangibles. One of the reasons for this is that it's important for players to know the variables that the game is playing with. Otherwise, they'll think everything is random. [/quote] Will there be an "x-factor" to intangibles? Some factor or other to provide some variation from game to game?

Reply to Don't Go to the Steam Forums! Yikes! in Sorcerer King Discussion SorcererKing Forums

I agree with whomever said that the Steam forums are the new Gamefaqs. Thankfully, I tend to believe that most people are relatively content and don't bother or are too busy to post to message boards. Personally, I am convinced that Sorcerer King is on a good path to be a great 4X game. And I think there is plenty that is unique about it.

[quote quoting="post"] 1. Intangibles should be kept hidden so it is harder to game the system. 2. The results of choosing a certain option should be randomized within a certain range so that you can't be exactly certain how much of an influence it has on the SK's or other people's/minor factions' actions? I look forward to your replies! [/quote] I agree completely. I think things going on behind the scenes that the player doesn't kn
