2 new games woot!! ARe they going to be totally brand new or...perhaps one will be a new version of an old favorite(hint hint one that may have a cat type race that likes to conquer and eat everyone?) Glad to see you guys are doing good, especially with the way things are today. Since you are making lots of Win 8 apps, does that mean Win 7 users are now outta luck and should move to Win 8? I guess it could be time for a new gaming laptop for

Reply to Automatic camera stupidity in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Ive mentioned this before too, that you can be on the one end of the tactical battle map, your archers come up and zip...all the way across to them...then scroll all the way back to the mob, attack and move on. Ugh. Im hoping that they can do something about this, because I dont think the camera needs to move to the ranged units. Just stay where I have it.

Reply to 0.75 Unit Positioning in LH Support Elemental Forums

My range units(archers) are still being put out of harms way but i got my first npc hero(went with the more mage one) and even after selecting path of the mage, he is constantly put with in reach of mobs getting to him on the first round and killing him. I dont understand why this is happening, because it hasnt before. I dont think that enemy units should be that close, to close and engage in their first round and be able to wipe out any of my units. Or at least l

Reply to Creeps ignoring AI in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Ive noticed this too. I have to defend my cities and units, but the Sov AI can send out pioneers with no fear, and yet mine have to be guarded along with my cities. I have yet to see a Sov city defend itself from mobs that wander around, and yet I have lost cities to them. I even saw one Sov city, with mobs surrounding it..and nothing. I think the AI for mobs, should be tweaked so they go after everyone. ONe think I love with raging barbs in Civ 5 is that...they

Reply to Making maps in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Ive been trying to make brand new maps and then play them and when I do the map Im on is not the map ive been playing. Im gonna try again in .51 and see what happens, but it was so strange. Not sure why the map feature wouldnt work, but im hopeful.

Making maps in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Does anyone know if making your own maps and then loading them in is working in LH? Ive been making a few maps...and then loading them in and get a completely different map...Maybe it isnt supported with LH as they want that tested, so im just trying to find out.

Reply to Outposts: Do people actually use the upgrades? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I have only recently found out they can be upgraded and loved it, but im not seeing the bonuses working....ie adding stables doesnt seem to increase my movement value while in the area...unless its not adjusting the number I see for my movement, but is letting me move more. Will do more testing on that. I love the fact that you added this in though as I play on ravaged worlds, and being able to put outposts at resources is huge. Maybe not so on a lush world where you can pla

Interesting bug(maybe not) for auto resolve battles .50 in LH Support Elemental Forums

While playing thru .50 and messing with auto resolving battles, I noticed that in your army list, its always the very bottom unit that gets damaged. I changed this up between my new npc and my sand golem, and with the sand golem on the bottom, he started taking the damage and not my new npc. Not sure if this a bug, if this intended or what, but thought id let you know since I found it strange in that all my auto resolves for battle, it always the bottom one that takes the damage..

Tactical battles camera snapping back to ranged units or any unit in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I couldnt find any settings for this, but what i was wondering is, if there is a way to stop the camera from snapping back and forth on the units. It gets kinda bad when im at the end of the screen with my melee and then swoosh...all the way back to my ranged the camera goes and then i have to scroll back all the way again...rinse and repeat if you have many ranged units. I had thought there was a setting, but maybe I was thinking of another game. I would really just like th

Reply to AI feedback (trying to be constructive) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Im also confused as to why the AI mobs, not sovs forces, dont seem to be attacking my cities, or the other sovs cities or whatnot. They seem to just wander around aimlessly and...I dont know what they do. I can understand if they are thinking "Hey I cant prolly take that city", but from what Ive seen they could do some dmg to them and to me. Also, not every AI mob, should prolly use tactics. Many undead types or even animal types may just charge in because...well...tha

Reply to This game gets better, except AI in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Wow people are strange. You tell them what you are looking for and then they act like jerks. OH well...I guess thats the way it is. My one question is, Are mobs(creatures and whatnot) suppose to attack my troops, units, and other sov's troops and cities, because I dont see this happening at all. I had that huge big Ogre dude wandering around and he would come close to my city and then turn away...now thats nice and all, but hardly realistic. He should have co

Bug .50 one handed spears ability unable have it be upgraded when designing troop in LH Support Elemental Forums

Just took this ability an while it does work, you cant select the upgrade ability for it, because it defaults then back to the club. I remember in FE, you could have the one handed spear and be able to then upgrade it when designing your troops.

Fame not listed in Ledge and tactical battle color in LH Support Elemental Forums

AS im playing along and trying to get Fame, I noticed in the Ledger that Fame isnt listed like the other types of info are. I was trying to figure out if the Clerics Im making are giving me my +2 Fame and wasnt sure if that was a one time thing, or suppose to be per turn. When I click on the main fame, it shows im not making any fame per turn, so I was guessing that it was a one time thing...which is kinda strange, but ok. Thats when I clicked on the Fame and it went to the

Reply to Legendary Heroes Beta Now Available in Press Releases (FE) Elemental Forums

My dislike of steam is that at times I have to be online to play games. Yes I know there is an offline mode, and I use that for when im out in BFE drilling for oil, but at ttimes Steam has caused me no end of trouble. However, it also runs pretty slick when its working. I think the fact that you have to use something other than just buying it from Stardock and DL'ing from them, is the reason peps get upset. Steam either works great for me or doesnt work..requiring

Thanks much Stardock!! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Wow...i get Legendary Heroes for free...you guys are something. Are you sure you arent starving yourselves by giving all this free stuff to those of us who bought original game? In all my years ive never seen anything like this. Did you also give me and others FE free as well?? I mean wow. When you guys set out to make things right, I guess you do it. Granted, I enjoyed the games and have never screamed about them, but for you to again compensate

So will the game know if your champions are melee or ranged then depending on what they are using? If they have a magical staff will they be put back out of melee range or will champs and your sov be put in harms way?

Reply to Shadows, my oldest enemy in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I was thinking the same thing Heavenfall said...shadows cause problems in so many games if done wrong. LIke in SWToR...man they were bad and thus got turned off...still havnt turned them on. Even in other games like WoW and many others...off they go. I have even turned them off in Civ 5, because I dont like how it affects the performance of the game. Hopefully Lord Frog will get them done the right way unlike many others.

Reply to What is the best turn-based strategy game you've ever played? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Wow...MoM sure tops many lists and Xcom is up there as well. I know Stardock tried to get the rights to MoM and that fell thru, but you would think that someone would say "Hey, with the success of the newest XCOM, why not redo another classic that has quite the following?" Im enjoying FE and where its going, but that thought keeps going thru my mind. Then again, im not a programmer, or what not...just a gamer who likes to play fun games, especially when im out in the field f
