Reply to The biggest pacing problem of the game. Defense Stat. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="Bingjack" reply="14" id="3216986"]The purpose of city defenders is not to replace the need for defensive troops. They just supplement any defense, and keep the city from falling to something stupid, like a lone wildling.[/quote] I think Bingjack has the correct point about the militia. They are there as an added bonus, the city militia is the games way of demonstrating that peasants want to help defend their city (or are forced to defend). They are not a free powerful defe

Reply to Beta 4 [Bug] Custom Sovereign clone war? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Chalkbot is right that this is a bug, you shouldn't be able to play against your same sovereign (unless you built twins), and auboy105 workaround is saying to remove the twin from the list.

Reply to Horse Resource only for designed units not heroes? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I think the idea goes that you can find a horse or two in the wild, but if you are going to deploy an army of horses then you are going to need a vast resource. (I'm sure that this can be modded, but we will see when beta 5 comes around)

[suggestion] Range AI should try to kite a little. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The AI for ranged units don't take advantage of running away from the hero immediately. These units should try to kite a little more. They already step 1 square away when you close in, but they should do that at the beginning. This may produce some difficulties (annoyances) when a melee character trys to attack, but the range character should at least do a little kiting.

Reply to Is betrayers + adventurer overpowering? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="7" id="3216535"]Personally, I think both traits should be rewritten: Betrayers Trait: Allows you to recruit from opposing alignment at +50% cost.[/quote] I agree with this change for betrayer, even if they leave natural leader the same. A +50% could even be +25%, but some gameplay testing is needed to know what the correct balance would be, beta 5 anyone.

Reply to Is betrayers + adventurer overpowering? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="1" id="3216189"]Combine it with cruel and we really speak overpowered. The you get one more sovereign point, one more attack, and 50% plus recruitment cost for heroes (that means nothing). [/quote] Actually the way they calculate it, its not nothing. I believe natural leader -100% of units recruitment costs, cruel adds 50% to the recruitment costs. So, really you get heroes at half-price. At least when I took those two traits and it cost me something

If you try to load a game saved on a Sunday, instead of displaying "sun", it displays "string not found". There are a few other problems with the save game look for example: Beautiful start Thursday 8 /23 / 2012 9:0 pm -It appears that if the time ends with a 0, i.e. 9:50 or 11:20, the last 0 is being cut off in the display of the time.

[suggestion] Another gameplay option in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Since you have these wildlands and a robust monster environment, could you make a sandbox mode to play without other factions. The victory condition is to clear the land of all wildlands and have an event where the wildland monsters start to rampage the country side after so many turns, bringing the fight to you. I think that this is a unique feature that you can have with your 4x game here as with this mode you can showcase your monster environments even more.

Reply to Coming soon: Fallen Enchantress on Steam in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Since you asked to see things into the game here is a request. Don't know if it will be simple or not. Request for feature: I know many probably won't play this mode, but since you have such a lively monster environment could you make a sandbox mode. That is no opposing nation to play against, just you vs. environment. Beef up the monsters rage against you and with the victory condition to clear all wildlands. An event after a certain number of turns is to have the wil

Reply to Coming soon: Fallen Enchantress on Steam in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I say refer to the game as Fallen Enchantress, but keep the full title Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. Chances are the negativity from elemental will exist from informed viewers anyway as they will know the origins of Fallen Enchantress. Great job and great game. Steam is a good option for games today. I would like to see a different terrain introduced to the tatical battles like underwater or clouds for a specific quest of some kind. For a random event I haven't se
