Reply to [Suggestion] Speed up tech development in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm liking the tech speed, but more options if you want to ramp tech production up to super high or whatever would be fine.

Reply to [AI Issue] AI unnecessarily uses magic in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yeah, this is an issue. Should just not use magic on autoresolve, since presumably if the battle's close enough to be worth using magic, you'll want to do it yourself. That's not necessarily true considering how unfun tactical battles are at the moment, but that's a separate issue which should be addressed separately.

Reply to [Update] Brad's Friday Night Slipstream (1-21-12) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="54" id="3063386"]Personally, if it were my call, I'd not allow loading games within games or starting new games within games, I'd have the player exit out ala BattleField 3. It's just a time sink that could be spent on other things. I am still lobbying for this (yes I know lots of people wouldn't be happy with that but there's a ton of other things that could be worked on that would be much more useful).[/quote]I don't really understand why

Reply to [Suggestion/Discuss] Heroes are fine, fix AI in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The cool thing about this game is that since Stardock is actually a pretty big company, there are multiple people who work on this game and can do stuff with the different aspects of it. That means Derek can work on heroes (which aren't actually OP if you pay attention to resources invested) and Brad can work on AI.[quote who="Goldseeker" reply="5" id="3063457"]Heroes can't be everywhere at once[/quote]They can if you have a caster with the third tier of air spells.

More options are always good. But the issue with hero balance has nothing to do with the rate at which the heroes level.

I kind of like the current system even though it can be limiting. It gives opportunities to adapt, and special goals that can be worth warring over.

Reply to Prestige Bug in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yeah, I agree with this. It's good that the mechanic encourages you to build in advantageous places, but making lesser cities waste prestige this badly isn't an optimal solution. Making a production city in a place where food supply isn't necessarily top-tier should be a viable tactic. We shouldn't have to plan to make every city become a level five to avoid wasting our prestige. seanw3: The problem with that is it results in prestige being wasted. If you don't bui

Reply to [Balance] Remove Cloud Walk in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I don't like anything that starts "Remove". However I like the ideas for replacement. Make Cloudwalk give a big move bonus, and be able to build gates. Good ideas all around, really. I'd give a gate a mana cost of 1 and no mundane maintenance; in order to be able to use them you'll have to build them in multiple cities. If they have a fairly high amount of labor required then you can't put them in newly captured cities quickly enough to matter in the short term

[quote who="seanw3" reply="26" id="3061530"]Elevation seems like something that will easily be possible. The map is designed around having versatile terrain, so why couldn't there be a hill with a bonus to defense and accuracy? Tiles do absolutely need bonuses and penalties. This is already a feature, just not used on any maps. [/quote]I was not aware that this was a feature that already existed. In that case, making use of it is an obvious thing that needs to happen.<br /

[quote who="Cackfiend" reply="126" id="3060546"]Its absolute blasphemy to make a PC game that doesnt have multiplayer. People play Consoles for SP.[/quote]That is the exact opposite of the truth.

Reply to Free Copy of Fallen Enchantress in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="jtmk" reply="3" id="3061582"]I have the game registered with the Impulse client and not with the forum. I was not aware that in order to receive a free copy of Fallen Enchantress that I had to have been registered on the forums when I purchased it. I only recently registered with the forums when it appeared to me that was the necessary case. Is there someway to be able to show you (Stardock) that I did register the game with Impulse when I first purchased it?&nbs

Reply to Path of the Governor bugged? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

If you note in the description of "Path of the Governor" it does not say it has a progression. All the others do. So I reckon this is probably intended behavior, even if it's a bit of a questionable choice.

We have all cried out at one point or another for the long list of tactics, LOS being most desirable to me. The best one can expect from this Elemental is probably some good buff spells for intelligent enemies. I would also like to see some more mundane abilities for creatures, like special attacks and defenses. But don't stop asking because ther

First of all, I would like to say that War of Magic's main problem in my mind wasn't a gameplay concern, it was blandness. And that's fixed. Derek and Dan Stern have gotten that taken care of just fine. But the main gameplay issues that Fallen Enchantress were supposed to fix remain. The best unit is still the one that you pile all your best stuff on. Once your best stuff starts taking up too much encumbrance, stick a horse under them. This makes you

Reply to [Balance] Heroes Getting Out of Hand in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Heroes may be tough early on, especially with a lot of successful adventuring, but if you're up against tough monsters before you're ready, champion growth isn't very fast. And later in the game, when you can equip your units well and can train them in groups or squads, heroes greatly decrease in comparative viability.
