Just because Spell of Making isn't in the game doesn't mean everyone all of a sudden forgets about the elements to make it. Think of it as a long term fizzle. The ai doesn't know it's going to fizzle it just knows you are trying to create it. It should remain in the game that way to keep the AI on its toes and after the humaan player. Nothing to fix here. ;)
@ Foxd1e: This is a FANTASY strategy game not Sci-Fi. ;)
It almost appears like the thing you built or implemented on that turn doesn't take effect until the next turn. Most games give you the items benefits on the turn created or used. I've seen this myself in my games where I get growth on the next turn.
The problem you run into ADDING things to cost of anything is the AI starts to lose MORE GROUND in PICKING the right method of development path. Also having the resources around you suggest (other than metal) isn't always possible. (Civilization III anyone?). So, no there doesn't need to be MORE things to cost of buildings for the AI to have to decide and deal with. The key to a successful game is K.I.S.S.
Seriously folks some of you throw the word LOVE around waaaayyy too much....like toast to a dwarven breakfast in the hobbits house. How can you LOVE a game?? It has no feelings for you, it will never give LOVE back and yet you LOVE it? You know there are words like "enjoy" an even "like" is better than LUVVVVV. Love is a word you use when you want to get into someone pants don't waste it here in a forum far far
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="1" id="3336550"] Yes, fun, and Challenging is actually Challenging! Although Wealthy and Beastmaster can make Challenging more fun and less frustrating. Just make sure you take Brilliant for the increased chance of taming Beasts, and try not to Tame really tough Beasts without support for the first few levels.

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="2" id="3333542"]Go back to bed Willie. There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who understand user interfaces (and get paid lots of money to know user interfaces) and those who don't. Yes, you can hover over every little icon for more information, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a smartphone? Did you know that Apple and Google define best practices around button and icon size? Of course, you didn&
Lol I paid $80 for War of Magic and you didn't hear me CRY about them dropping the price of it. I swear people cry about nothing anymore just to read themselves cry I think.
Oh pahleeze you just mouse over them to see what the tooltip says they do. They don't need to be larger. Man of all the nitpicky things this one takes the cake.
Maybe only dwarves can create iron golems now in this edition. ;)
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="8" id="3332826"]Your earlier post doesn't reflect what you just said. This part If you OWN FE and bought it before the end of Dec 2010 you get LH for FREE. is blatantly untrue and thus confusing. Anybody who bought FE has to pay for LH as well. I on the other hand and getting LH for FREE because I bought WAR of MAGIC before DEC 30 2010. PFFFFT! The cut-off date for two free
[quote who="Jalicos" reply="77" id="3333387"]I am going to have to think about this. My sole objection to Steam has always been that it allows another party to control whether I can access my games. [/quote] Yeppers STEAM OWNS YOUR games always and forever. If you do something THEY don't like they can not let you play ANY of them and ban your account forever. Games you PAID for do not belong to you on Steam. That is why it's better to get games from Gamersgate
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="3332332"]@ OP I don't remember it being said you get FE when you pre-prder LH. FE and LH are simply different products. LH is built on top of FE, but you do not need FE to play LH. The confusion comes from LH being marketed as an expansion. Normally, expansions require you to own the original product. In this case you do not need the original product. <br
[quote who="Donnerjack2112" reply="282" id="3332712"]I don't know if I'm the first to ask this (and imagine I am not by a far cry), but as FE:LH is an expansion of FE, although standalone, what becomes of the content of FE in the new game? I bought E:WoM before that infamous date so have the free copy and am happy for that, esp. since the game is so vastly improved, but my copy of FE is not on Steam, nor can I register it on Steam... So, does FE become sort of lost/dropped from my pla

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3332261"]NO. Betas should only be tried by those who are ready to put up with bugs and often bad game play. The purpose of the public beta is for people to give input on what they'd likee to see improved prior to release. FE 1.3 is really a better bet than LH beta 1. [/quote] I agree with Frogboy don't play the beta play the better polished game of FE instead. It's not all that much difference anyways exce
While it gives you the FE game engine and elements to play LH I do not think it gives you FE for FREE. It's basically the other way around. If you OWN FE and bought it before the end of Dec 2010 you get LH for FREE. But, if you wait and just buy LH then if you want FE (which is a standalone also) then you'll have to pay the price to get it as well. Since those that bought FE AFTER Dec 2010 will have to pay $19.95 for LH. I wouldn't think they
Ho hum (yawn) (sneeze). whatevah! ;)
The AI will never be as good as the AI in this game is right now. In the 3 earlier versions of AOW before AOWIII it never was any good. While the game maps are pretty and the units broad ranged and racey the rest of the game is a let down. (was for me an many others anyways.) Their best game of all the others was actually their first as it had the best ai of the 3 but had no random maps so the maps got old and boring to play on.
Distant Worlds is the best real time space game out there. Check it out thru matrixgames.com
Maybe they decided to let us who bought the CE ($80) before Dec 2010 will get first crack at it. ;) Seems only fair we did pay the most money for that thing they called a game Elemental:War of corruption. lol

[quote quoting="post"]Personally for a 4x game with persistent armies I find it stange that you are forced to fight to the last man even when winning is out of the question.One should have the option to retreat at some cost so you are able to regroup your better units that you spend an age to train to fight again.No army fought to the last man and we should have a retreat mechanics in the game.
