Reply to New rare city Level ups, need a few more ideas in FE Modding Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"]I'm adding some rare buildings to the city level up options. The idea is that they will be flat out better in the vast majority of cases, but you won't see them very often. Basically a "oh cool! I got a special!" when you level up your city above and beyond the normal. You might see one every 7-8 cities. Some of the buildings I have added so far level 3 Fortress, Psionic Training Academy (all troops trained in

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="18" id="3321543"]Actually, we are the ones that are choosing to spend the time playing a single player game. If we don't want to spend time winning against all odds and bashing our heads against a brick wall that's fair enough. Besides, some starts are better than you might think, so it is almost impossible to have an "optimum" start. I play the game without reloading once I've got a decent start position. But since we&#39

No problems here still and I've been loading and reloading different saves over n over testing it and still no crashes. Must be something on their ends. I'm figuring virus protection programs.

[quote who="VermillionChaos" reply="24" id="3321424"] Quoting willie sanderson, reply 18 I don't like the new X-Com either. Having to manually change magazines is realistic and can be the difference between life and death sometimes.

[quote who="Darxim" reply="16" id="3321167"]Obviously the reloading of saved games was because the game ends when you win. Kinda hard to go after a different victory conditions in the same game when the game's over. Generally when I lose a game, I start over. Do you keep staring at the defeat screen? That game's over at that point. Move on. You can start a new one. [/quote] I'm more talkin

Well, I'm for you creating a different race of beings in the line of more fantasy types that come from LOWER EARTH (not middle earth as not to copy Tolkiens stuff ;0) ), Horrible creatures and races of the depths of HELL and beyond (wonder what lies beyond the lowest levels of hell??)

Well for me it's like saying "any" weapon could kill a vampire or a werewolf now whereas the old way you would have needed a "piercing wooded" weapon for vampires and a "silver piercing or slashing" to kill a werewolf. These are just basic examples. But, different damage type would have more or less quality based on armor hit as well as creature types. Now with dumbing down you just pick your weapon of choice some area axe that hits 3 targets at

[quote who="Darxim" reply="10" id="3320827"]I just claimed my first victory in a Ridiculous game this morning. It took a few games, but I got it. If you start a game and there aren't any yields near your starting city, just quit and start over, because if you can't expand, you're not going to win. I did each of the victories (saving before each one, then reloading and not doing it). Magic and Diplomatic victories are far too easy, and feel like cheating. &n

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes FAQ in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Is there a way we can "turn off" the way Heroes appear in the game in LH? I rather like the way they appear on the maps rather than just another "static" way of doing things. Having them on the map made exploring fun, now what do we have to explore for except silly quests and finding other players? You should have at least made it "OPTIONAL". Pffft another way to screw up the fun of the game.

Request in Opponents Setup Screen in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

The one where you pick the type of difficulty the AI opponents will be. As it has all the levels of difficulty per opponent could you please add one more "RANDOM"? It has Novice to Ridiculous but no RANDOM and that would be awesome to add this little feature so a player doesn't know what he's up against when he runs into those opponents. It might be a pushover novice or it might be a Ridiculous or something in between.

[quote]The second major cut is in the form of damage types. Previously, in combat players had to remember a lot of different damage types going into combat and what worked on what, an so forth. Both Stardock and its players found this confusing, and as such they’re cutting damage types from the game and replacing them with weapons that have different abilities. Axes will have Cleave, Warriors might have Crushing Blow, and so forth
