I've used other tools from EaseUS over the years, all of which have been excellent. Never tried this app though. Would you say it's target audience is the Power User or IT professional? Most of the Data Backup software (for consumers) I've seen lately typically targets only the Microsoft Libraries (Docs, Pics, etc) often missing critical information stored in non-standard locations. Doesn't appear to be the case here. I'm actually concern

The problem with targeting types is that Bandits are not Ruffians are not Mercs are not Men. Whereas Spiders and Umberdroths and Bears and Wolves (and a lot more) are all Beasts. In FE there wasn't any really effective way to have a spell target a creature's subtype (Bear would be a subtype of Beast).

Was super happy to see Bandit Lord get a Recruit Bandit Skill (as I recommended last year), and tying the skill to Gildar was genius. Problem is, unlike Beasts, you're never really likely to run across more than 1-2 Bandit spawn points (if you're lucky) in most games when it counts. A couple of thoughts to shore up the Profession Recruitment! - A Bandit Lord only spell, costing money (not mana), will spawn a random # of bandit units (1-3) at one of your cities (a

I've been able to do this forever and only just occurred to me that it probably should be reported and looked at. When I've burned down an Enemy Sovereign to it's last city, I'm greedy so always want to capture the AI city as well as the opposing Sovereign. This works every..single..time.. Build a Pioneer and park it 3 moves out from the city. Often, just the Sovereign (usually alone) will come out to kill the Pioneer leaving the city wide open for c

There's a lot to like (or not like) about the community's input here, but seeing as you're asking, here's a few notes of my own; All factions should be able to attempt building the Unique Wonders. The Faction that finishes first should get full benefits, but that shouldn't negate other nations from completing a "knockoff" of the wonder. You'd still get a building and not wasting all that queue time, it just wouldn't be anywhere near as im

I like the mount scarcity changes. Still think there's work to be done on balancing their respective skills/benefits. Horses are available before Wargs, and Horses are still generally better than Wargs if you have them available to you. As another person (forget who, sorry) mentioned in the Horse/Warg balance thread the Knockdown % on mounts really shouldn't be 100%.

Basically lack thereof. I just killed Morian (Mr. Leafy), big mean nasty that he is, upon it's demise netted me maybe 2 Fame. That's sooo not right. Granted I was able to kill him early game due to a bug. He was stuck behind a building when attacking my city, fortunately I had an Archer unit and a ranged Hero. Took forever, but burned it down. Still. 2 Fame? P-Eww..

One thing I'd grown to like about Wraiths is their inherent Steal Life skill. Once your troops have hit around level 6+, Steal Life becomes pretty handy. Would also agree Golems need some love. I was wondering why they don't have an inherent Crushing Blow skill seeing as they don't get to equip weapons like Juggernauts do?

If you've been a fan of Firefox (for the most part) and find that it's not as speedy as it used to be, I'd recommend you take a look at Pale Moon. Pale Moon is basically the Mozilla Firefox code stripped of all the stuff that 90% of junk that most people will never use. I also like Pale Moon because it supports nearly all of the Firefox extensions, so you get Ad-Block, etc.. http://www.palemoon.org/ Also, what is p

I just conquered a Custom Sovereign being controlled by the AI (Demanded Surrender) and noticed that it never picked a Path. So all the selections the AI picked were only from the General Tab as there was no Path for it to invest in. As an aside, I see the AI has rediscovered it's fondness for leggings.

I think Axes the way they are now is meant to Balance the very effective Cleave skill. Unlike the Spear's Impale, Cleave offers more opportunities for use as Spears can be tricky to line up for Impaling. Throwing Axes would be a nice addition, but I think 2-Handed Axes are here to stay.

Just wanted to retort about increasing the maintenance costing on Cavalry because the economic system w/ Unrest as it is now is completely out of whack. Really can't talk about additional costs to units until they fix the broken Unrest/Cash system

[quote who="Azunai_" reply="2" id="3351226"] quoting post ... Defensive; Not sure why Shields are tied to Spears. Bronze Shield is "ok". Why isn't there a new Spear as well? Still seems an odd mix. ... i think you don't understand that trait - the shield is tied to the spears since all of them are one handed spears which can be combined with shields. in my opinion, this is currently the best weapon trait in the game. s

Honestly, many of the Traits used when designing a Faction are either redundant or undesirable even if only being used for "flavor" I'll detail my thoughts on each and would like to know if I'm spot on, or whether others have a different PoV Also disappointing in a new expansion that while some Traits have been tweaked, not a single new Trait has been introduced Devs, it could also be fun to have a button for creating a random new Faction adding a different kin

Part of the problem on Large and Huge maps is that not as much distance is required between cities in order to settle a spot which is ending up in a lot of city spawn. If there was a mechanism for "clearing/salting" individual hexes that gave a one-time benefit for either the acting Mage or nearest city, that would help. There really needs to be a few more tech items that address Unrest. Especially in the Entertainment portion of the Tech Tree, not a single item there addr
