Reply to New player's point of view on the game so far, could use some input. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Didn't realise I lost research points when I traded them lol, not doing that anymore. The AI does seem to war a lot against each other. Heck in this last game Resoln is running around with their sov and some pioneers, they are at 6 strength, which means I don't think they have a city lol. I am considering declaring war and killing their sov just to find out. I have only had the AI declare war when they were quite a bit stronger than me, theoretically. Instead of dealin

Level 12 or so, it depends a lot on the equipment and weapons you find. I could swear in the campaign I found a weapon that had a bonus against dragons but hell, I might be getting confused with something from GW2.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress at NexusMods in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I love the Nexus, yes, there is spamming of idiots leaving negative comments on works in progress or disagreeing with a mods very existence and it can get a little rude. They do ban people though, so there's that :) It's my go to site for checking for mods, though of course, I look in the modding forum here. I did make the odd clothing based mod back in the day, but I haven't modded since Morrowind.

Reply to piers/logging camps in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I have never successfully built a pier or logging camp if I did not start right next to a forest or river. I did once, find a 3x3x3 square was cornered by a river and forest, greatest city ever, but it has to be touching the starting town in my games.

This function is on the Sword of Wrath as well, maybe try it on that, one, it's a really good sword.

Reply to [1.01 Bug] A Tale of Two Cities (err, a city and outpost) in FE Support Elemental Forums

Pretty easy to avoid snaking to your outpost unless you put it there to reserve the spot for a later settler. Does it say unusable if you raze the tower and then build a town? I am guess this is to avoid a meta game where you build your city around an outpost so you get really good bonuses applying to city defense.

Reply to [Suggestion] How to improve defense in cities in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I think, based on the quality of troops you presently get even a rank 4 city will get taken out by an assassin demon or something like that. I would just like the militia to get slightly better equipment as you go through the tech tree, not the best, but the second best gear. Maybe they could add a civic defense tree in the civilization tech line and tie it to built structures, then it's at least a little harder to buff your cities too much.

Reply to Get rid of the stacks of doom in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Stacks of Doom, not so scary when you can freeze it on the map for 3 turns (I don't think they can resist, I have frozen everything), and then pillar of flame it or whatever else into ashes. See Rvgr's reply. I am actually more worried about the AI getting good at that. I will develop a strategy of rolling outposts to get within 5 squares of the city and send in my shock troops and then a lone troop to take the city. That's my take on how to take someone else's territory.

Reply to Catapults Are Great in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Umm, I haven't built one, so let's start with that. I have fought no less than 5 of the enemies though and I dodge every single attack they ever did, against my homemade archers. Granted, I build my archers with dodge, but there were probably 12-15 attacks in all and they didn't hit once. Are you sure they are better than an arcane archer built with the best longbow, with ice and fire necklaces, a ice ring, and built in a fully enchanted heart of fire fortress? I think not

Can't hate names because modern companies abuse the heritage for marketing purposes lol Many are not derived from English, like Isolde, so is old probably did not occur to Wagner. As for not liking the name, custom faction, change it, voila.

Shrink for the win! Also, unlock magical apparel and whatnot. You can have 75% fire resist and high dodge that deals with dragons I think. I have tanked a dragon with a melee hero and two healers. The dragon killed itself in the end. If that bug is ever fixed, I still would have won. Shrink and healing.

Every special ability fails against magic immune creatures. Snake special bit fails, thrown daggers fail, every special ability fails. I don't think they take poison damage either but I can't recall.

Reply to What is the redeeming quality of the Wraith race? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Haven't tried them. Are they just melee? +5 mana per kill sounds like a recipe for arcane archers to me. I have monks as per somebody else's suggestions Monk Staff, Monk Robes with all the dodge traits and built in a well enchanted buff fortress city. They kick butt. As the Pariden race I get -1 hp per level I think, doesn't seem to bother these guys.

Reply to Early Conquest is too easy in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

This is a problem in every strategy game. I would like city militia to be buffed with the 2nd tier weapons and armor, ie, not chain if that's the best you have, but leather. In my latest game, just on challenging, I border two empires, one of them the second biggest, but despite having a large map with 8 total people on it, I have a massive empire with 14 built cities, 7 or 8 outposts and quite a few land areas to dig into (special locations). I have about 6 of those elite Arena&#

Would love items sets. Also, how about dual wielding? Mostly what I want is for the campaign to be continued.

Reply to [Suggestion] Champs/Sovs not holding a weapon and no shield should get +5 to Initiative. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

There are staffs that give a plus to magical power and damage and don't hit your initiative. I take your point though, there should be an advantage to not having anything equipped. I don't want to take over your thread but do the crit chances and crit damage on daggers carry over to spell casting with the daggers in hand?

Reply to [1.01] AI losing too many cities to monsters in FE Support Elemental Forums

I have monsters on dense because I love the exp for killing them, but I hate building defensive troops, so in my most recent game I lost two cities, one that was at level 3 to wandering mobs. I have never lost my capital yet, but that's mostly because I have killed everything around it within the first little while. Maybe the AI doesn't prioritize taking out the camps.

There is a monster, is it wraiths that regain hp on kills? It's an Empire race, does that work? Trolls regen every round. I know that's different, but that definitely works much to my mage's dismay.
