I am thinking that when you play at a certain difficulty level or higher , hard for example, the ai starting city should default to a tile yield of say 4,3,2 if it is not that to begin with. I know that is a bit of ai cheating, but not any worse than players using ctrl-n, but it may solve some problems with the ai not doing well. I am not sure how much the ai is hindered by having a bad starting spot.
This is probably why people think beastlord is overpowered. If you play a beastlord and don't abuse the reloads then it evens the class out and makes it not so overpowered. Saying that though play however you want, it is a single player game after all. But there is no way stardock can account for things such as reloading saves or other particular playstyles when they try to balance the game
not sure how you are playing buy I always have more gold than I can use, of course I don't rush stuff or waste it buying items for my heroes till mid game. Cast Propaganda, sell items you loot. do a bit of research for better gold production. For the first 75 or so turns I have taxes set to none. when I run out of money I cast propaganda on a few cities and set it to low. if you really are having that much of a problem select the wealthy trait that will help with the start. income s
move ending on combat seems fine to me if helps balance.
Random events such as these are great. They add quite a bit to replay value.
The AI just does not expand well with pioneers costing population, making most games very easy to win. Unless that is fixed somehow going back to pioneers costing gold is a better option in my opinion. Its a single player game if you don't want to spam pioneers then don't.
[quote who="ChungasRevenge" reply="21" id="3333675"]Loving LH. My only complain is that while it is billed as a new game it feels more like an improvement on FE. It would have been nice to have some new characters I am sick of the usual suspects. Because visually it is the same it doesn't do justice to the massive improvements that have been accomplished already.[/quote] Beta! the game and new content is not finished yet
I have tested a fight with 1 hero and then with 2 heroes. with one hero and 2 units the hero received 32 exp. with 2 heroes and 2 units the heroes received 18 points each. that was again with the general bonus as the only exp bonus
from what I have seen the first hero was lvl 1, second lvl 3, third lvl 5 and the forth was lvl 7. I have not gotten higher than those yet. after the first hero they have their class selected.
I seem to see the opposite. I play with the monster setting on hard and my Sov levels every fight for the first 4 levels or so. he is a general though so that has something to do with it.
babble much?
[quote who="Borg999" reply="87" id="3332460"] Quoting Xan, reply 85 I never implied my opinion is the only one that matters, or represents a silent majority. I think you'r reading way too much into my posts. For example, earlier in the thread, most of the posters explicilty commented that shadows weren't a big deal to them. I did extrapolate the explicit majority on this thread to the customer base. Whether that was reasonable to do o
looking forward to the beta. Thanks for the update!
FE is a very good game. Well worth the purchase price.
I guess I must be misreading your post. you seem to be asking to be able to cast any spell by anyone with no regards to making a meaningful choice in character setup. I just can't see how that makes the game more interesting and varied, it would make it the complete opposite of interesting and varied in my opinion. having a few more spells in each class may be nice but then you really could get into spell duplication between the different schools. You also suggest combing two
the decision now on what magic schools to take is far from a no brainer, as is evident with your post. You want a good dd spell take fire or death. you want spells that help your city produce more go with earth. want more gold go with air want to help your units on the tactical map go with air, life or earth, want to hinder your enemy on the tactical map go with water or death. and so on and so on. Very far from a no brainer, this allows people to select the magic schools sui
completely disagree with o.p.
In Response to Kwami; 1 and 2: Well honestly, do you think complaining to a developer that you don't want a steam version so you can loan it out and then resell it is going to help with your cause. 3. I really don't see that legally happening. 4. Probably more likely you will lose or damage the original dvds than being unable to get your digital copy. 5. Sounds like a legitamate concern, but probably effects a very small minority of pl
I switched to steam when impulse was sold. I have close to 60 games on steam and have never had a problem. I play offline most of the time but my minor sons prefer online for scores and chat. Now steam is also helping the smaller game developers with greenlight. Steam is not evil, it is a platform that has done a lot of good for pc gaming. Stardock has already said they are using it, how many times can the same people come in here and complain. Jeesh let it go, they know some of
with this build the game locks before I can get into the game. the last screen I see is the open book showing my sovereign with the game map behind it. I was trying this build to see if my save problems were going to be fixed. As is with 1.2 after a while( sometimes 50 turns sometimes longer) all my saves will not load either auto or manual saves. I had very few problems with 1.12.
and here I was thinking bows need to be tuned down. It is way to easy to go around and kill stuff without even taking dmg with a hero and 4-5 archer groups. mid to late game archer groups are killing most non monster units in one shot, heroes too. and at the beginning of the game you can easily kill a group with a threat lvl higher than your group without taking dmg.
no, I do not have crystals. I found crystal and will get that running. I was wondering if that may have been the problem. Thanks for the reply
hmm. It does not say anywhere that I need another technology to recruit them. I am pretty sure I have looked through the other techs to see that. for example spearmen are recruitable when I research training, and they show up in my unit menu. Gravewardens should act the same when enchantment is researched unless I am mistaken. This is my first time playing and am wondering what is missing.
I have researched enchantments which should enable me to recruit gravewardens. They are not showing up in my recruit unit menu. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
