Swarm does seem a little overpowered now. All the things you mentioned such as the lack of information (tool tip) when it comes to the trait screen as well as world objects should be addressed. *It also looks like Kraxis doesn't have anything new yet. *Is the flame tongue ability a racial or unique to the hero? If it's a racial it's not very good. *Overall the graphics look much better than vanilla FE. Edit: while on the topic

[quote who="Azunai_" reply="9" id="3328299"]actually mauls(or sledges if you have the great hammers trait) are more powerful, especially if your opponent fields armies with lots of chain armor (extra strong vs cutting). by the time they are in full plate, pikes are probably the best weapons anyway. [/quote] Pikes will give you the strongest stack of doom, With Great axes you have a higher iniative than sledges so you will end up going before the AI if he has units with impul

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="54" id="3327548"] Using the word "adjusting" instead of "raising" doesn't change a thing. Business owners have been very vocal that a forced wage raise will hurt their businesses, which are already hurting in this abysmal economy.

The problem is that minimum wage hasn't been ADJUSTED to inflation. There are millions of Americans living BELOW the poverty line. Some of these individuals would love to go to school but cant afford to do so because of children and/or other reasons. We need to educate our population and ADJUSTING the minimum wage will help us in this endeavor. The problem is the minimum wage hurts smaller businesses i believe the minimum wage should be adju

One of the reasons why Ceresa is broken, even on small maps she can easily hit like a freight train. I think just scaling down most spells well do the trick but i think shard conversion being available to all factions also makes sense. And yes spell resistance could use a buff.

There will never be equality but what we can do is continue investing in markets that produce high skill jobs and continue pushing kids through college. Even if this means allowing kids use government funds to ensure they receive that education.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="113" id="3326388"]You think it's ignorant to claim Hitler was an atheist when there is a considerable amount of evidence than he was? I don't think him being an atheist led to deaths. Besides which, Stalin and Mao were indisputably atheists. Humans like to believe in *something*. Fascism and Communism and other ideologies strike me as being no less religious than Christianity or Islam. Whether a person puts their faith in the state or a
