Temple of Forgetting - Set in Stone in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

If you build the Temple of Forgetting (-100% research) and also cast Set in Stone (+50% Mats, No research) on a City you get negative research. For example, my nearly fully developed Town is getting -5 research. Shouldn't it just produce Zero?

Reply to War of Magic, should it be brought back? in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I enjoyed War of Magic for a while at release, so ya, but why can't we just have it as a scenario or whatever. I have all 3 games, and didn't you make Fallen Enchantress a scenario? or are the mechanics too different? I really don't remember. In any case, I still have enough faith in Stardock for one more pre-order (I don't play RTS by the way heh), so make it a good one.

Thanks, I left the surrender threshold at normal but put on Epic pacing for tech, huge world 10 AIs, so you know, the Season has more or less ended now, I don't know how long it lasts, or whatever. Well, the mechanic is screwy then, I have no wish to take over Pariden or the other Kingdoms. I wasn't asking for anything for peace, but say for Tarth, which had a power of 64, versus my I don't know, quite a bit higher, they would accept surrender, but were -532 for Peace. Tha

Season of Blood in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Okay, I guess I don't mind a crazy season that puts everyone at war (way before anyone had the ability to make alliances by the way). My question is, why will so many factions surrender to me but won't make peace unless I pay them a crap load of money?

Good Let's Plays? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I am a big fan of Let's Play videos on Youtube, often because I don't want to play a game as much as watch it, or for something to have on the side (have to love big monitors), whilst I toil away at work. Can any recent, decent let's plays for this game? The nearest I could find started 5 months ago, but the level of play...well, not fantastic. Maybe I should get into the world of PC recording finally, but I don't want to watch my own let's play videos. Maybe I am

No, it only affects the single tile you cast it on. Try it and see BTW, with some more contorted snaking, you can also "enclose" outposts within the borders of a city, if you're so inclined. They're still not incor

Reply to City siege/city militia discussion in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I think cities are too easy to take, that's why I use the armor mod, I mean, it does make my cities harder to take but you are already way better at defense than the AI and giving armor to all the AIs makes it a little better. Leather armor makes more sense otherwise you would burn through your metal too quickly making chain/plate for all your troops. There are already ways to make your cities have a good troop, can't you build like a golem or something or is that only in Forts?

Reply to For the love of pete, fix the basic stuff! in LH Support Elemental Forums

For pathing, I don't think the game takes into account if you have the scout trait, it will still take you around hills, swamps and forests if that would otherwise be the fastest route. But yes, sadly it seems you have to move your units, that's rarely an issue for me as I mostly just have 2-3 armies running around.

Reply to Stupid Question - Swamps in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Thanks guys, no it was for regular city expansion, I just like building towards other cities or resources or whatever, and an outpost does not continue a city. If you raze the outpost you get a blank tile. I was hesitant to use raise or lower land because I don't know what it does to the resources close to the spell location. The situation I was working with was one tile of swamp between me and my horsies, so I built and outpost, raised it, and then built two 1 tile buildings to l

Stupid Question - Swamps in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I haven't played the game much but am giving it another go. What's the best way to clear swamp land so I can build in those spots? So far I have been using pioneers to build an outpost then raising it or if I have the spell Arcane Monolith to do the same thing. Any tips? I did a fairly brief google search but I guess there is some swamp based wildland that ate up all the results. Thanks.

Reply to How the combat should be in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

The space battles on Stardrive are really, really pretty and fun. But I don't need them to be happy. Gal Civ 2 is still my favourite game. I don't want Gal Civ 3 to clone Stardrive's battles, but there is something to be said for an approach that is pretty and very watchable. Just animate the die roll, as ships get more experience, the animations could change to show that experience. I don't know; I just know that huge fleet battles in Stardrive are amazingly entertaining and

If you are advanced enough to be flying around space you can tell whether a star will go super nova several hundred million years in advance. But, I wouldn't mind if some of those uninhabited systems blew up and caused communication problems, or crop failures or maybe an environmental change in nearby systems. But if one of my systems blew up I would be pissed unless I was made aware, beforehand, that the star was a little problematic.
