Reply to [.85][Feedback] Play by Play of Some Good Battles. (also bugs) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Excellent read as always Sean! Good pointers for things to fix and balance. I think the techtree has become much better now. Choosing one of the paths is viable now. In my current game I'm taking the magical route with arcane weapons (two chrystal crags pretty close by) and it feels great. Love that magical feeling it gives the game and hey as Procipinee one would expect some magic to fly around.

Reply to [Suggestion] Champ Stack tweaking- my two cents. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="maniakos" reply="6" id="3089747"]No matter how they change it, 1 or more heroes fighting against many multi figure units is a game design catastrophe. The King's bounty & HoMM model makes a lot more sense. [/quote] Totally disagree! Heroes should be fighting and I think it's fairly balanced now. The system can be tweaked further, but nothing wrong with the design decision.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.85 changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Lantros" reply="34" id="3088970"]Do we have to download a complete new build (2GB) or is it a smaller patch that updates the previuos build? [/quote] I suspect it will be bigger than previous updates since it adds quite a bit of new content (like music and sounds), but probably no 2 GB.

Reply to AI: Closing the deal in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

[quote who="Magog_AoW" reply="12" id="3085866"]How about a spell that knocks the defending stack out of the city? I loved doing that in AoW with the tornado spell.[/quote] Agreed. It's basically the magical variance on laying siege.

Reply to The 2 biggest issues hindering replayability in FE Beta Elemental Forums

This is turning out to be a very interesting thread. I also feel that armies should play a bigger role in the beginning of the game. Currently they CAN be a factor, but only if you manage to nurture them like your champions up until a point they are levelled up so many times that they have ratings that can cope with big enemies. Thing is that this only helps to favour stacks of doom, since besides those 3/4/5 champions you have some huge support units too. I agree t

Reply to [Bug] Long pauses when using certain abilities (0.77) in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="wthoma2" reply="1" id="3070400"]I've noticed when using the defend skill (the one you get with the shield,) it brings up a casting wand, but there is no applicable square to "cast" in. Eventually the system figures out that a selection isn't necessary (or my tapping of the space bar and frantic clicking registers) and moves on. I've only seen it when champions use the skill, not units. [/quote] Excact same thing for me.

[bug] All opposing factions have the same border colour in FE Support Elemental Forums

All my opponents have light yellow borders, making it really hard to discern them. I would like to post a screenshot, but can't remember how to take them from within the game. What's the keyboard shortcut? Debug.err Here's the screenshot. <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17682980/FallenEnchantress_1327874636.jpg" alt="Yellow borders for everyone!"

Last time I reply to this 'issue' of yours. You don't read anything people write to you, you're full with your own assumptions.

Reply to Fixing & Improving the AI Difficulty Tooltips/Options in FE Beta Elemental Forums

You seem to wnat to read something different, but in line with all previous Stardock games he says: " Basically, challenging is the same as normal except I have it (and everything above normal) use some nastier (read: CPU intensive) algorithms.". Meaning that on challenging it's using the intensive algorithms just like on hard an rediculous.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.76 changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

For that last time, it's there and it's called Challenging despite the tooltip. If you don't take my word for it, fine. But if you ever played a Stardock game in the past you know it's just that.

Reply to State of the Beta - what needs fixing? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

1) The AI is not finished. Like Brad said it needs a lot of work and we'll only see specific strategies in beta 2. 2) The city improvements are too minor. All options are viable but hardly have any big impact. Maintenance should be higher. 3) Copied from Seanw3: There are no mutually exclusive choices. I can do everything in the game in one playthrough. I can specialize in every class as a hero. I can get every spell. I can get 95% of the buildings. Regulars a
