Reply to [0.952] Curse/Masscurse - not reducing Pierce defense? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I've noticed something that might be related with the armory improvements, available in fortresses, only improving blunt defense, instead of all 3.

Reply to [eMOD] Master's Affliction 1.02 in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I noticed today that the General trait only increases cutting damage, not pierce damage (haven't tested blunt). I also noticed a similar problem in vanilla, where the armory buildings only increased blunt defense instead of all 3. Maybe related?

Reply to [.952] Stop mana reservoirs! Summons and temporary summons in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I approve of your spell ideas, other than the drake. I don't think that something that powerful should be available to summon at level 9. I do, however, think all the shrills, including the shrill lord, should be available to summon. Shrill lord should be unlocked by any combination of two rank 5 elemental magics (i.e., fire 5 and earth 5, water 5 and air 5, water & fire 5, etc.)

Also, seems your trait letting non-Altarian races use Henchmen doesn't work. On the plus side, Altar can still build 'em, so presumably custom factions using their blood can too.

[quote who="Chalkbot" reply="11" id="3221536"] If this system was implemented, wouldn't you have to rebalance the higher level spells to account for the fact that you could gain access to them very early?[/quote] In a word, no. The spells are (or at least, should be) already balanced around the idea that you can acquire them at their earliest possible opportunity (which seems to be 2x-1, where x=spell rank). The problem is, there's no guarantee that your archm

Reply to [0.952] Bug Water Adapt II ( Henchmen) doesn't have a tooltip description in FE Support Elemental Forums

Good catch. I've seen that in previous iterations as well, though lately I've been playing with Altarian enchanters and just giving my mage henchmen the actual books.

Reply to ***Champions/ single units versus group units: a balancing idea in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="yankeefox" reply="9" id="3220668"]would groups of say three automatically start with the ability to kill 3, while groups of 7 would start with the ability to kill 7?[/quote] Correct. I really like this idea, though I think it'd be fine if spells continued to damage multiple units as is. I'm finding that mana is a very limiting factor at the moment, even with dense magic setting, and that (Death magic excepted), magic is in a fairly dece

Reply to [952] exp a bit too fast now in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="22" id="3219031"]Zero exaggeration. I keep 'notes of significance' when I play my games (see my game threads). My jaw dropped when I leveled after only the one kill. The fact that it was consistence with the next hero I hired was even more concerning. I didn't think I had potential on either champ. Does Gilden start with potential? My city leveling was the biggest shocker though. Had sovereign's call cast, so I was gaining 3

Reply to [.952 bug?] AI cheats - outposts too close together in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="myosin2p" reply="6" id="3219962"]Is it possible that these outpots were built by two different AI, and that one of them was captured?[/quote] Even if that were the case, the AI should still not be able to build so close together. Human players cannot build within 3 tiles of any other outpost, regardless of who owns it. The AI should be beholden to the same rules.

Reply to Pioneers - Available too early....too cheap.... in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Another option: your prestige is the max number of cities you can found. That way, city spam can be addressed without severely nerfing outposts.

Reply to Idea on stopping pioneer spam in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="Supreme Shogun" reply="21" id="3213805"]IIRC, the magic outpost spell has a mana upkeep. They will still have an advantage, but you could say mod that to 2 or 3 mana per turn instead of 1. That way it's not unlimited.[/quote] It's only a flat 50 mana cost, no upkeep required (same as with other outposts). Pariden outpost spam is already pretty effective once you get a decent mana income, and with the changes suggested by the OP, would m

Reply to [.95] I really don't like that only fortress towns get walls in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

For basic walls, I agree. No matter how pacifistic your city is, in a world like Elemental, you're going to at least have some palisades up to try to ward off the darklings. I do think, however, it's totally fair to limit all non-fortress cities to only the most basic walls, allowing fortresses to fulfill their role as being the bulwark of your military, both offensively and defensively.

Reply to What size map should I optimize for? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I've been using medium maps, trying to stick as close as personal taste allows to the default settings during the beta, as I believe most people will start using default settings. Once the game's released, however, I'll probably play between medium and large maps.

Reply to [.95] Spider Champion Attack Bug in FE Support Elemental Forums

It's not a problem with the champ herself, it's an issue with the staff. Ranged weapons have had problems like this as long as I can remember, in one way or another. Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of it before release.

Reply to Outpost AoE in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I had assumed their AoE was their influence radius; 2 tiles for most outposts, 3 if you get the ZoC upgrade. It's quite easy to visualize from there with the grid turned on.

Reply to [0.95][Bug] Unable to end turn! in FE Beta Elemental Forums

There's a bug ATM where, if one of your cities is attacked by more than one stack in a turn, the second stack's attack won't go through, and the turn won't end. Not sure if that's what you've encountered, but I found that bug yesterday, and had to quit a fairly good game because of it.

Reply to [0.950] [BUG]s so far in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Another bug, that was mentioned elsewhere on the forums: if more than one AI unit attacks the same city in a single turn, the game will not register the second attack and becomes "stuck" (orders can be issued, but you cannot start combat and the turn cannot be ended).

No, the Disciples are usually pretty good at spreading around their antimatter from what I've seen, though they tend to prefer frigates over cap ships without proper micro. The biggest issue is that Drain AM only works on frigates; it won't drain a titan or cap ship, which is too bad.
