Reply to [1.01] Highlight on build menu SCREWS UP THE GAME in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="NanakoAC" reply="8" id="3273277"]the solution seems fairly simple, don't automatically highlight any construction option until we've clicked on at least one of them[/quote] I think it needs to be stricter than that. I often highlight something to see the benefits, then decide to check something else first; clicking anywhere outside the build menu in an attempt to dismiss it places the highlighted building. The building should be placed only in the following

Reply to [1.01][BUG] After surrendering, Procipinee doesn't appear in the empire tree in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="escl" reply="1" id="3273188"]Surrendered sovereigns also do not appear in the enchantments list (clicking on the mana tab at the top), so you cannot toggle off their active enchantments to save mana.[/quote] Confirmed. Enchantments that I cast on Procipinee after she surrendered do show up, but not any of the ones she already had. Luckily, she still has her crown, so they aren't costing me anything.

[1.01][BUG] Army fragmented after capturing a city in FE Support Elemental Forums

This has been reported before, but I have evidence demonstrating exactly how bad it can get. After capturing an enemy city, occasionally one or two of my units are left outside of the city, out in the open and with no moves, asking to be picked off by reinforcing enemy troops and wandering monsters. After capturing Tenfell, however, every single one of my surviving units ended up as a separate stack outside the city . <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/gmocp1z6ys9

Reply to [1.01] AI losing too many cities to monsters in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="2" id="3273096"]Of course, this is far from the first time this suggestion has been made.[/quote] Indeed, I don't claim originality. I am pretty sure I read something similar on these very forums a while back. However, I decided to resurrect it in light of my most recent game experience, now that monster discrimination against the player has been addressed, and their aggressiveness balanced. Specifically, I'd like to see this evaluated as a m

[1.01] AI losing too many cities to monsters in FE Support Elemental Forums

Playthrough on challenging/challenging, as Magnar. AI was severely gimped by losing multiple cities to wandering monsters. Background: In the early game, I was able to snag a prime fortress spot from Verga without a fight after a couple of ophidians stomped all over the city he settled there. Verga also accidentally unleashed a nearby forest drake, but luckily for me it headed in the opposite direction, likely destroying more Yithril cities in

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="541" id="3272090"]Just copy-paste the xml for them into a new file and you're golden. They have references to frostgiant unitstats but that won't affect you. /Stormworld_Shared/Reliquary_OVERWRITE_corespells.xml[/quote] Ah, easy! I wasn't sure if there were any other things that would break. I'll nuke the frostgiant references, for completeness.

[1.01][UI] Collapsed trait icons make it hard to determine total spell damage in FE Support Elemental Forums

Evoker I/II/III are collapsed into one icon on the unit detail screen, and only show the tooltip for Evoker III. This makes it particularly hard to calculate total spell damage; I think they stack, but I don't remember the bonus from I and II. While we are here, why do I have to calculate it at all? Spell damage multiplier should be listed among the stats on the right, next to spell resist and mastery. <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/i93tg5lhmdd3ct9/Falle

Reply to [1.004][BUG] Tremor and freeze immobilise for one season only in FE Support Elemental Forums

Reply to [1.004][BUG] AI razes captured city immediately in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="8" id="3268001"]There's one: slightly less growth in your remaining cities.[/quote] Ah, indeed, I forgot about prestige. The limiting factor for growth is much more likely to be food rather than prestige, though, so I hardly notice this effect. [quote who="sratner" reply="9" id="3268020"]There's another one, due to some weird way monsters and AIs get treated. [/quote] That's more like a bug rather than intended game mechanic.

Reply to [1.004][BUG] Ophidians not immune to static blast in FE Support Elemental Forums

Here is a suggested heuristic for deciding whether an effect is magical in nature: Direct damage spells/abilites are decided based on damage type. Elemental or arcane damage implies magic, physical damage implies non-magic. Thus, hurl boulder, crushing blow, deadly bite ignore magic immunity, while static blast does not, regardless of the implementation details. Non-damage spells/abilities are always considered magical. Is there a non-damage ability

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="7" id="3267982"]Difficult to tell what's a special ability versus what's a spell[/quote] Exactly. How an effect is implemented internally by the game shouldn't determine the immunity check, since I have no way of knowing if something is a "spell" or an "ability" without digging through XML, nor do I care. Instead, immunity should be determined by flavour of the effect. Coal stones, despair, beguile are absolutely magic -> im
