Reply to Unable to start FE from shortcut in FE Support Elemental Forums

Aside from the difference in directories, yeah, that's what the shortcut says. Tried username passed in the shortcut, but it didn't work. Been playing the beta since it first came out, don't know what happened to lose the registry entry, don't know why it doesn't work after I downloaded from stardock and reinstalled. right now, the only way I get the game to start is opening cmd, changing to the directory and running the exe followed by /username /passwor

Reply to m4-rk in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Well, I got one in a goodie cache, I was going to mention it in a bug report, it says it's worth 3,000, but when you actually sell it, you only get 300, was wondering about the disparity in values. Doesn't seem to do anything other than give you something to sell. I do have the save game.

Unable to start FE from shortcut in FE Support Elemental Forums

Somewhere along the line, I lost the ability to just use the shortcut to launch FE. I get the popup to use the cli with username/password. THat works correctly, but it's a pita. I uninstalled/reinstalled, but still can't use the shortcut to launch, How do I fix? pek

I saw them out in the ocean, too, but that was in the last release, thought they'd have cleaned that one up. Didn't. pek

[.86 bug] Monsters spawn to to of mountain in FE Support Elemental Forums

Picture says it all, I went into the tomb that spawns all the armies after you leave, this one ended up on top of a mountain, where I couldn't get at them and I can't lower that mountain: You need to clean up your positioning algorithm a little. If you can't walk there, you can't spawn there. pek Sorry, it looks like the screen cap is too big for the forum. But,

Reply to Curse City in FE Beta Elemental Forums

So far as I've seen, you'll have to keep you eye out for the popup saying so-and-so cursed city xxxx. Only way I've found is to eliminate the caster, unless there is some other way, treaties don't work, and they DON'T have to be at war with you to cast spells on your cities. pek

Reply to [.86][Bug] Can't End Turn in FE Support Elemental Forums

I think this is my problem, too (not sure about the path finding problems, but it does happen when a unit can't get there from here). I find I have to save, then exit completely out (we're back to ctd when trying to reload a save after an error). That's seems to to be the only way to recover from this error. pek

Reply to Fallen Enchantress Beta 2 arrives! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

AI is definitely more aggressive about gathering treasures/hunting monsters to level up and could be better about recruiting. At least, I had a lot of hero's laying about to gather up. Haven't had a chance to get .86 on, yet, was having too much fun abusing the Rats Quest. But, i did actually have an AI declare war on me, even though they were about 80 points behind me. Is the declare war random or do we actually have diplomacy to worry about now?

[bug .85] Rats quest keeps on giving (and giving, and giving) in FE Support Elemental Forums

I completed the rats quest, went back to get my Doom Club, or 300 gildar, or 20 capital points. Well, EVERY TURN I get a choice of the 3, and it keeps giving my 300 gildar (the 20 capital points don't seem to do anything) and how many doom clubs can a guy have? And, the choices pop up twice each turn. I also got the quest of the village and the bandits (reward is archers) twice. pek

Reply to FE 0.80 random notes in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

By the time you started looking at WOM, there was very little of the original design left. The nice thing about the Internet is that stuff lives on forever. The early discussions and forums posts (including the early concept drawings, one of which I posted here) are still out there somewhere. You can easily look at the image I pasted and the final game and see how different they were. It has often been the case that forum users overstate t

[bug/feature/ui issue] Too many mouse clicks will freeze fe in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I have noticed that when I get a little - anxious - and click a few too many times to move a stack or get a bit twitchy, the game will go out to never-never land and I'll have to get to the task mgr to close fe. You probably know already since this is a beta ui, but I like to see myself in print. pek

Reply to [.77] Newly created unit didn't participate in defence in FE Beta Elemental Forums

In .77, before my 7950, I forgot I set to garrison my units when created (after I read this thread, because the same thing happened to me), and wondered why I never saw any just outside my cities. So, they do auto garrison in .77, anyway.

Reply to Frogboy: response re your query about how people win the game in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Well, since I haven't been able to finish a game, no more than 500 or so. One thing you need to do is to have the Ai kill the monsters in their territory. I level-up my champions by doing a non-aggression pact with one, then go and clean house around their cities, plus I don't lose any more caravans. Their sovs/champions are woefully under-powered by the time I clean up all around. And, as a matter of fact, the AI needs to recruit the stronger, later ga

[bug?] .77 Why do some saves load ok, but not others? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I have some mid-game saves that load just fine, but after a certain point in the game, I can't load any saves, not even an older (younger?) one. In .76, i was able to save and reload at a point where the turn button/end turn no longer worked. At one point, the time before any movement happened was long, not just the auto-resolution results. I could go to task mgr and then back into the game again and the game would eventually pick up again, then the pace would go back to

[bug?] other player champion in my soverign stack? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I was standing guard outside the wild-lands, waiting to upgrade my armor & weapons, so I could hit elite threat and suddenly found a hero from another faction in my stack. I moved the stack, thinking it was just passing through, but it came along with my stack. Is this a new feature, other players hero's tagging along to get exp points from my battles? It wasn't the leader, just one of the champions for hire, a baseline one, to boot, no experience.
