Reply to Why is researching technology in the game at all. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Research is another one of those things that some people like in 4x games and others do not. (like city building, etc). Both perspectives are valid. I happen to like research as it gives me a sense of progress as well as the ability to design better units or exploit better resources. For me it also adds to replayability as I have the option to go down a different path in another game. Now that gets to what I see is the issue wi

Reply to 0.77 Development blog in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Frogboy, when you say "it's in now" relative to a new experience distribution system - what does that mean? 1. There is a new update out already beyone .77? or 2. That change is part of the changes that you get when you launch the beta with an internet connection? or 3. That change is in for the next update whenever it is available? or 4. Something else I have not thought of above?

Reply to [Suggestion] World Events in FE Beta Elemental Forums

If there are or will be random events in FE, please make it an option you can at least turn off or on at the starting a new game screen. People's opinions differ on whether these types of things add to a game or take away.

Reply to [0.76] MUCH better in FE Beta Elemental Forums

As long as we are talking about wishes..... 1. Flying creatures. 2. Non hero units that can use one or two magic spells. 3. More opportunities to raise troops of monsters to fight for a faction.

Reply to [.76 Feedback] FE feels very boring in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I don't understand the point that started this thread. Boring? FE is a lot of fun now. It's also not finished. It will be even better before it is done. I have a lot of faith in SD. I respect the right of other people to their opinions but I do not agree at all with the boring comment.

[Suggestion] Magic in non Hero Units in FE Beta Elemental Forums

One of the things that made MOM and AOWSM so much fun was the mix of standard units (swordsmen, pikemen etc) and units with magic capabilities (warlocks, priests, flying griffins, etc). EWOM and FE both does not use this very much. We can build many, many combinations of weapons, armor, etc for men but only minor magic items unless they are for hero units. 1. We need standard human units that have a small number of magic capabilities (

Reply to [Suggestion] Putting more tactical in tactical battles. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The current tactical system is so much better than in EWOM. I like the feel of it - there is a mixture of fast action and concern for the fate of units built up over time that makes for fun. We need to be careful not to make it so complex that it loses the fun factor. Having said that I think some additions that do not add to much complexity might add to the expereince. Examples: 1, Better visuals on the spells.&

Reply to [Suggestion] Larger maps in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Optimum map size is something that is different for different people. I suggest we ask SD to add one size bigger (extra large?) and then let each person select the size they find most comfortable to use. Having said that, I agree with Heavenfall that the real problem is player spacing on set up.

To keep the monsters from overrunning you early just turn down the monsstor "difficulty level" before you start the game. Each game can be diffierent.

Reply to WOW! THANK YOU! in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

It's too early to tell if FE is MOM 2 or not - but its not too early to tell that its great fun. Thanks for all the hard work. I especially like: 1. the ability to select game paramaters such as monstor difficulty, resource density, etc before you start. Wow talk about making the game replayable! 2. Improvement in loot found. In EWOM (without Heavenfall's mods) after the first game loot was essent

Reply to Fallen Enchantress - Beta FAQ in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I too have received the e-mail on the FE beta but there is no serial number in that message with which to register the game. That does not fit the FAQ above. Island Dog would you please help us understand this change from the FAQ?

Reply to A Reminder: FE will be terrible and give you a disease in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Certainly, I agree with Heavenfall's comment to the effecdt that if we are going to have 1000 of something lets make it items, monsters, hero's, etc. That is one of EWOM's big gaps - it missed out on the random rewards (loot) and perils (monsters) that made MOM so much fun. Heavenfalls mods in this area were a great help. I hope more will be done in FE. However, while I don't want 1000's of buildings

Reply to A Reminder: FE will be terrible and give you a disease in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

Growing cities with buildings is part of the game that I enjoy. I do not agree with the posts that suggest limits such as only one of a type building in a single city. The arrangement in 1.4 EWOM that limits the number of a type building in a single city by level works well. I don't think we should get more restrictive than that.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress- Factions in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

If I understand correctly: 1. each pre-designed faction comes with unique pre-designed units. 2. however, you may create your own unique units (as in EWOM) as well for any of those factions 3. or you may create your own factions and create your own unique units for them. If this is correct this is great. Now let's talk about how non hero units change as they become more experienced...... How many levels are there (i.e. recrui

Reply to FE: Latest Screenshots in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The other day in another thread someone mentioned being able to include all adjacent "hexes" in a battle [as in AOW Shadow Magic]. This would be a great addition to FE. I never saw any comments from Stardock on that posasibility- did I miss something? Another issue to consider is the number of units allowed to stack in a single hex. The original Elemental allowed more units [either 12 or 16 I think] in one hex but
