Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.913 Feedback requested in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Settings are set to: standard map size. 5 enemy factions (total 6 incl me, 3 Empire, 3 Kingdom), challenging world difficulty, challenging faction difficulty, dense monsters, standard resources, standard magic. I played as vanilla Magnar. Monsters seem to have a nice balance now, there is some stuff that can I kill solo from the get go if I burn a bit of mana, and there is stuff that I waited till I had a unit or two (ended up using another champion) to kill.

Putting in a cooldown for the time it takes to train a pioneer would be just early game, and completely unjust mid-late game because you can have multiple cities train pioneers in the late game. Early game it takes ages to train a pioneer, so the spell wuold be better (3 turn limit assumed).

LOL!! I love that tactic Glowing_Ember [e digicons]:D[/e] Sooooo much fun :P and unless they go to war, you can completely surround the poor little empire [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] But no..... we're honourable gamers..... we wouldn't gimp the system......well actually we would [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Reply to [.912]Feedback on Pariden's create outpost spell in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Glowing_Ember has hit the exact same issue that I find with the spell. I was just thinking, even thoug houtposts are squishy, you can't actually destroy someone's outpost unless you are at war with them. Perhaps when the AI is more agressive, those far off outposts by them selves won't last very long. As for the road issue, I think there was a thread talking about the use of roads through enemy territory, should be disallowed. That would sol

OMG. Uber UBER UBER powerful. Here is why: Only costs 30 mana. Available from turn 1 reduces the number of pioneers needed to train to the number of cities you want to fund ( No range limit on placement of the outpost allows my cities to spend time building warriors or city buff buildings No travel time to place the outpost vs pioneers having to travel from the city to w

I had the same issure with Flame wave in .90. I double checked the monsters, and none were resistant or immune to fire. Tried casting multiple times in one battle, and no effect.

[Bug][.912] CTD when using Beastlord Power on Black Widow - Repeatable in FE Support Elemental Forums

Made a custom Sovereign with the Beastlord Perk. When using it on a Black Widow (the 14 Att, 0 Def, 20 odd hp spider), twice caused a CTD. Let me know if you want the crash dumps, they are on my desktop at home.

[suggestion] Move the select next idle unit to occur after battle results screen in FE Beta Elemental Forums

This is the order for what happens as is now: click to attack a unit on strategic map, pre-battle screen, map scrolls to next idle unit, tactical battle screen, finish battle, strategic window screen still at the other unit, battle results screen. Can we shift the selection of the next idle unit to the end?? So it happens after you close the battle results screen.

[0.9][bug][or description error] Celerity cannot be stacked on Sov in FE Support Elemental Forums

The description of Celerity is that it increases initiative permanently by 1, and CAN be stacked. Cast it on my sovereign one turn. Then tried to cast it on the sovereign the next turn and was denied because "enchantment already exists on that champion"

I have seen this issue. It is berserk. Start a tactical battle with 1 hp, 2 champions and access to that spell, and poof! guarenteed to be cast on the unit with 1 hp. FYI: Bersek increases damage and deals 1hp damage to the enchanted unit per turn.

[0.9][bug] Custom Sov for Pariden doesn't receive blood bonus in FE Support Elemental Forums

Created a custom sovereign for Pariden. The blood trait shows up as attached to the soverign, so it should get +initiative based on air shards etc. I checked the initiative when I had 6 air shards, and there was no blood bonus being added into the initiative total.

Reply to AI Wars: Beta 3 Edition in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Start of the game 1 or 2 pioneers depending on whether there is a shard around, then workshop. Always get shard harvesting if you don't start with it. Found a second city straight away. Try and found one city with max grain, and one city with max materials. The extra pioneer at the beginning should grab a shard, any shard, its just mana. The max grain city max out its production and then keep growing it with buildings to make it maximum population, you migh

[.90] My view on the good and bad of Beta 3 so far in FE Beta Elemental Forums

From memory, Beta 3 was addressing faction differentiation, however there were also improvements to game flow at the beginning (like letting you build on metal mines early, shifting +research techs early). Also, one of Frogboy's goal (correct me if I'm wrong) was to have your starting position (once explored) guide you in the direction of your strategy for the short to medium game. For example, if you were surrounded only by metal, that warefare tech tree is going to

Yes ppor frog, but it would stop the game from becoming a race to each other's cities :P

[Discussion] Should there be ZOC on the strategic map? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm not a proponent for complex Zone of Control (ZOC) mechanics, the simple ZOC that is currently being used for the tactical battles is exactly what I'm suggesting. On the strategic map, should there be a ZOC for the armies? Civ 5 implements the same simple system for ZOC, keep in mind though that in Civ 5 the tactical battles happen on the strategic map, not a seperate tactical map. Actions that using the ZOC system on the strategic map will effect: Harder

Reply to [.86][BUG][or not?]Fast units losing their moves when ejected from slow armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yeah I haven't had the bug that a unit with movement points doesn't move, but in all the beta versions I've played of FE, I haven't been able to put units into an army that is still sitting in the same tile. Current;y I can't remove units from an army with zero moves left though, so this isn't an issue.

Reply to [.86][BUG][or not?]Fast units losing their moves when ejected from slow armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="ambidexter235" reply="9" id="3094373"]One aspect of this which I particularly object to is the situation where Unit A spends it's movement points and ends it's move on the same tile as Unit B which has not moved yet this turn. Unit B won't move, since Unit A formed an army with zero movement points when it entered the tile. [/quote] Yeah this is annoying. Two systems are in play though. The first which is what my OP was about, the s

Reply to [.86][BUG][or not?]Fast units losing their moves when ejected from slow armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I think see what you're saying ambidexter. Sounds like you think it should be on a percentage basis though? Ie, Unit with 4 movement in an army with 2 movement, the whole army moves one tile (so the army has 1 unit left, of 2, ie 50%), then you eject the 4 movement unit, and it would have 2 moves left (out of 4, ie 50%). Is that how you are thinking??? I'd be interested to know if anyone thought that it is actually better the way it is now for gam

I must have missed the discussion about this when WOM was being developed CdrRogdan. Do you have a link so I can see what the different points of opinion were?? Nathan E, here's the mathematical version. Ejected Unit Moves left = Army's moves left. This is true regardless of how many extra moves the ejected unit should have :( Oh, and has anyone realised you can't split an army after all movement for the turn? Would be nice

[.86][BUG][or not?]Fast units losing their moves when ejected from slow armies in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I always keep forgetting to post about this, as it has been this way since the beginning of WOM. I don't know if it is a design decision or a bug. When you have a fast uni in a slow army. If you eject it before any movement is used up, the fast unit will still be limited to the armies speed. What the UI is telling me is that it has already used up any excess movement above the army's speed. I would think that the movement left that a

Reply to [FE][Suggest] I think Army Speed should = Champion Speed. Here's Why. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm on side with Yazari here. He listed previously a whole range of reasons that I wholly agree with regarding the choices that will have to be made (after weapon balancing etc) when deciding on the composition of your army. I would like to add another small point though, Having a fast moving champion in an army could still be a good thing if they didn't lose their extra movement when exiting the army. Currently, if yuor Champion has movement of 4, and is an

Reply to [.86] Dominant Strategy in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Your strategy sounds mathematically sound (and practical). Couple of things I'd like to add/point out/agree with: I agree that the negative traits for units, the cost savings need to be reduced or basis changed (ie from percentage to flat rate or visa versa). I can't remember how many constitution points you lose for the particular trait, but constitution matters lots after level 1. Can you check to see how much health those units have at lvl
