Reply to [0.915] Argument for Scaling Experience by Trained Unit Size in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I like all the ideas here. Larger units should gain experience slower. A Unit should be able to upgrade its size with the loss of some experience and levels and should require a minimal level such as 3 to 5. Upgrading should cost X amount of materials and the "potential" hit points should go up immediately, the hit points should then "heal" to their new high. Identical units should be allow to merge into larger units. Without c

Reply to [0.91] Keep ending up on same tile as goodiehuts, but don't loot them in FE Support Elemental Forums

I have had this problem when I order my guys to attack, but they don't because there out of move points. Next Turn: My guys are moving and the monster attack them, so I wind up on the square "Before" the combat has ended. You can't loot a monster den if the "Main" monsters is not dead.

mini- Wildlands in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Had an idea reading some other post should monster holds outside of the wild-lands create min-wild-lands the size of say and outpost that must be destroyed before you and plot down a city or outpost. I would exclude the sovereign founded city from this limitation. edit: Pioneer should absolute refuse to enter wild-lands or mini wild-lands, even when escorted.

Reply to [Beta 3][Feedback/Suggestion] Severe lack of depth in city-building/empire-management in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree with the op to a degree. Right now a pioneer is defined by "an absence of gear." You cannot even upgrade them because they "lose" the ability to be a "pioneer," at least as of beta 2. Being a pioneer should be a "trait" and it should increase the base cost of the unit by at least triple. As some else pointed out the lore is your providing a safe heaven and now they want to go found a second city? As far a pub and inn allow for city growth I feel it is n

Reply to [suggestion] outposts linked to armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Outpost are more like trading post than forts. Being created by "civilians" and all. That being said I would love have the ability to have "forts" instead of outposts. Perhaps with a ZOC that requires the enemy to attack the fort before it can move past?

Reply to On Pioneers and Conquered cities in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree national wonders should burn upon conquest. I also like the idea of an unrest counter starting at 100% and decreasing by 2% each turn. However I would go further by adding a 30% unrest factor to all existing cities. As in "Your Making WHO a citizen!" It would have a 1% or 2% decrease each time but would be cumulative as in conquer three cities right in a row and all of your cities have a +90% unrest. Would definitely slow down conquest.

Just thought of a simple, therefore better formula. Multiple the defense time the number of adjacent friendlies (including self) and divide by the number of adjacent enemies. A completely surrounded soldier would suffer a 89% loss to defense. While soldiers in a line facing each other would lose none.

Ok one unit can on average attack 3 times. Three units can attack one unit in a line, that is 9 attacks per turn. However I find ingoring the other units in line unrealistic so here is the formula I would suggest. 3*number of flankers (+1 for self) attacks vs full defense per turn, idealy you want to exclude units behind the lines 3*number of flankers attack vs 50% defense all further attacks armor vs 25% defense (or maybe less) &nbsp

Caravan Exploit in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Weather you send a replacement caravan or not you get the bonus, so instead of send a new caravan to the same city send it to a new city. You might lose a little of the road bonus because it will take longer for the route to improve but it will give more trade routes bonus. Or I might be mistaken. That a caravan count for both cities, But I think I have seen the trade route exist even after both caravans have been destroyed

Reply to Too hard a game! in War of Magic Stardock Forums

Reading another thread gave me an idea, are you rushing adventure tech? Becuase it seems based on reading another thread that world monster difficulty is tied to your adventure level. Not sure if that is based on an early version though. And personally I think that is a bad way to determine the world monster level.
