Agreed. Though, I haven't checked to see if this information is displayed when you've picked the spell and are hovering over the target.

Reply to [Gameplay/Minor] Monsters don't defend their lairs in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Seems like a good option. Though I think if you rob a monster's lair it should "go rogue" and chase your butt around the map. Or at least, pillage the nearest civilization it can find.

[Suggestion] Damage to Conquered Cities in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Cities should be damaged when they are conquered, not just lose their population. The mechanic could strip off the most recently built buildings (or just those around the outside). The number of buildings destroyed could be commensurate with the fierceness of the battle (measured in terms of total HP lost). Alternatively, the buildings could just become "damaged" and require time/money to repair. While repairs were underway you would not be able to recruit or build n

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="43" id="3061020"]It is relevant because it ties in with food and production and their related buildings.

So here's one of my champion's spell book. it seems like there's a lot of vertical space that could be put to better use displaying the spells.

Reply to [Suggestion] Caravan setup should be automated in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Agreed. It just doesn't work. Automate caravans. Roads build up the same. Monsters/armies can stand on the road or stand outside of the city to block off trade.

[Balance] Offensive Spells Suuuuuuuuuuuck in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Haven't really built up a fire champion, but I almost never use offensive spells in this game because they do very little damage. My champion can summon lightning from the sky [e digicons]}:)[/e] and do almost as much damage as a standard melee from a bunch of low-level spearmen [e digicons]X([/e] . Haste, Grow & Shrink are pretty much the only powerful spells in the game. Which means that melee is the only way to win. You can toy around with other sp

Reply to [Comment] I don't like the building placement system in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I will jump in to defend the city building concept. Regressing to the Civ "all-cities-are-one-tile" idea is a non-starter in my opinion. The cities are beautiful things. You don't need to go crazy (or throw a unique feature into the scrapbin) to fix the problem. There are some really good ideas in this thread already. I like the idea of penalizing cities for sprawl. So the further from the city center the higher the maintenance. (Can't fin

Reply to We need your opinion! City build mode zoom options in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I kinda like the city flowing organically out into the map. But then, I kinda place my buildings randomly (though sometimes I'll expand to swallow a nearby resource). So the overhead view doesn't help and it's less attractive. Plus it screws with the camera unless I click on "Done" which I don't always do. The overhead view just makes it clear to me how much the cities lack roads. From overhead, everything seems very isolated and the cities just

Lonely Umberdroth in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I get that the beasts try to avoid civilization but this is a little ridiculous. This umberdroth has been sitting in this corner of the map for 100s of turns. At first his territory was about 6 squares, then 4, then 2, and now just the one he's standing on. He's never attacked anyone so far as I can tell. And each time his territory shrinks he just retreats. He shows absolutely no aggression. He's cute. I kinda want to a

[Suggestion] Foreign Relations When Negotiating in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I am not very good at remembering the names of my AI opponents. So when [RANDOM AI #1] comes to me and says "I will give you 100 gold to declare war on [RANDOM AI #2]" I honestly have no idea if that is my uber strong neighbor or the guy from across the map. Suggestion #1. AI Negotiation requests should be made through the regular negotiation screen. An emissary can appear using the same Yes/No dialog you use now, but if you say Yes it just opens up the negotiation screen.

[Bug] Escape scroll = Defeat = Opposing army dies? in FE Support Elemental Forums

One of the items I collected in my travels was a scroll that promised to save me from peril. I quickly found myself in peril and used it. I was expecting the battle to end and my champion's army to return to the nearest city. The battle ended, the summary screen came up with "Defeat" and the opposing army "died" on the main map. So... um... instant win?
