Reply to The two words that I hate in this game in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Haven't played much of Beta 4 yet, but there have only been a couple of cases in previous games where any of my cities have had a chance to sit idle - there were always useful improvements to be built of one kind or another, and the backwater settlements that didn't need to churn out troops also tended not to reach high levels and get the better buildings. Then again, it also doesn't help that I never get to the late game on large maps any more due to the load save/crash b

The game I'm playing at the moment is interesting, with a lot going on - Reliquary items popping up all over the place (Wooden Sword, Shield of Many Fates, and I saw an AI champ carrying the hexed demon scroll around), several Stormworld champions running around, a poison river, and the Frost Giants having suddenly emerged from a slow start to being a seriously lethal-looking faction. The only bug I've spotted is that some cities seem to have invisible rivers next to them & can bu

[quote]One of the weaknesses is cruel, which gives you a +1 attack, but makes champions 50% more expensive. My question is if you take both of them doesn't that just give you a +1, with no cost champions.[/quote] I think it gives a champion who has +1 attack and a 50% discount on champion rates (the free champions comes from a -100% discount being applied, so when this is added to +50% it ends up as -50%). Not quite as awesome, but still abusable. When Natural Leader on

Hey, just ran into my first Angel champion, there's a typo in the Angel Blood entry as it appears on the level-up screen: Also, the Angel New Faith ability trips the bug which causes a champion not to have spells if he goes first after a spell that automatically casts at the beginning of combat (sorry, I can't think of a better way to put that).

I started playing a fast-paced, small map game as the Shadows, against the Golems, Undead and Centaurs, and it's running incredibly smoothly, with the four races closely balanced (there's a 20 point power gap at the moment between the Centaurs, who are strongest, and the Undead, who are weakest). I love the way the Shadows look and play and haven't encountered any problems with them. The other races are performing strongly too and don't seem to be having any troubles I

Reply to City Hex cast on my city in the first few turns, probably by an unmet player! Pretty sure it has happened in both non-modded and modded games. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I've had a hell of a time trying to reproduce this, mainly because the AI isn't unlocking city hexes - all four of the Empire AI sovereigns take the same set of abilities (paths of warrior & assassin, 2x strength, merchant, and any combat abilities that pop up) and none got beyond level 8, so no-one is getting Death III (which is what unlocks Antipathy, I think?). Karavox eventually dropped 3x Frozen Bones on me over the course of three turns, but by then it was later in the game

Some feedback! I started a game with a custom Urxen faction using Kennel Masters, Dogs of War and Xenophobia (along with some regular abilities: Assassin's Tools, Archers and No Armor).Trying to design a more distinct, bestial Umber that relies on warg riders, monsters and mercenaries rather than heroes. DoW seems to work fine, so far, but haven't really put the mercenary trait to the test. Kennel Masters is great, although I hadn't realized that the Companion War

Archaeology: Could you make an equivalent to the Altarian quest map that spawns a lost library or similar instead of a quest (essentially, using your gold surplus to tech up)? Thaumaturgy: Could this also unlock some upgraded magic weapons that are slightly more technological in feel than the enchanted staves, axes etc?

Reply to [Suggestion/Request] - Custom faction trait - Horses/wargs from cities in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Oh, no way was I neglecting Umber, it's more that something sparked in my brain that there would be a nice fit with Capitar, since warhorses are already their "thing" and they're in dire need of more interesting abilities (whereas Umber were already interesting & powerful). But I would never advocate bringing back one without the other. I really like the idea of Umber getting a lot of beasts, especially the boars, and they're in need of some new identity now that Serpe

Reply to [Suggestion/Request] - Custom faction trait - Horses/wargs from cities in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hmm, you know, if they just made Legacy of Serrane/warhorses work this way they would instantly have a nice, suitably overpowered way to bring Capitar back in a way that matches the overpowered abilities of the other factions. Early access to cavalry, more horses & ability to build better heavy cavalry would be pretty neat. Wouldn't even necessarily require a building (I read on another thread that the AI has trouble taking full advantage of abilities that require special buildings),

I like them as they are - I like the uniqueness of them and their differences from the vanilla factions. Wouldn't want them to be more like the existing races & feel no need to make custom factions from them when there's already plenty of new stuff to explore. Each of the new races seems to have a lot of cool tricks and unusual limitations, anything that lessens that is a bad thing in my book.
