[quote who="NewHorizons" reply="368" id="3195747"]BTW: I like the TEC Loyalist planetary defence tech - the sight of Orgrov-style torpedoes intercepting a hostile purge vessel was quote funny.[/quote] It is pretty awesome watching the planet open fire on an orbiting fleet, even if it does take out half my poor Advent support ships. On a (barely) related note, there might be an issue with random race selection. I noticed that all 4 of my random opponents ar

Loaded the saved game and didn't crash, but got a minidump when I quit the game. I think if I turn down the graphics settings I'll be fine.

Reply to First 4 Hours of gameplay for beginner: spammy pirates, spammy AI. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

If you were playing against the TEC faction, they do in fact get a resource bonus for everything you buy as a tier 8 technology, but you won't see that until the late game. Beyond that, no AI below Hard get any bonuses. If you're still playing defensively, I recommend playing as the TEC loyalists while you get a hang of the game. They are specifically designed for turtling strategies, and are extremely difficult for the AI to make a dent against.

Just checked both my audio and video drivers, and they're both up to date. Odd. I should note that the audio was the first to go. I'll chalk that up to being an incredibly weird fluke and try a new game.

I just had a nasty crash while running your mod. I was playing a 5-star map with 10 enemy factions (normal, while I get familiarized with your mod). One of my enemies had just surrendered to me when he sent 2 of his capital ships to a contested world, where the game promptly sputtered and killed my computer (had to hard restart the PC). This was early game, an hour in at most, so not much of a fleet beyond a few LFs, corvettes, and the enemy caps. Any idea what might h

Reply to Best Appearance Awards in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

My favorite titan is, hands down, the Eradica. It definitely looks like an angel of death floating through the sky, smiting all the non-believers. Favorite capital is probably the Marza. I'm also partial to the Antorak, and the Advent design philosophy overall is much easier on the eyes than any other race, but I like how the Marza just gives the look that it ain't nothing to f*** with.

Pirates usually give new players a hard time. Luckily, they can be disabled, and many players turn them off. The enemy AI difficulty setting can also be set before the game begins; simply left- or right-click the little chevron button next to the AI team selector (you'll also see a question mark there, that determines how the AI plays the game). Set the AI to easy for the first couple games, and as long as the pirates are disabled, you'll find that the AI fairly tame

The devs are aware of this, but have commented some time ago that it's not, in their mind, a bug. Still annoying though.

Reply to Suggestion for ranged heroes: two new traits in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I definitely agree with you about staves, HF, but I think that a better fix for ranged weapons is to have two classes of bows: Shortbows, and Longbows. Shortbows would be much faster than current bows, while not quite as powerful. Longbows would be just as slow as current bows, but do more damage. Traits, IMO, should be focused more on giving your champion more interesting abilities like what Kong suggested.

Reply to [.915] More simple suggestions--don't break this thread, Firefly ;) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

A simple fix for the Archery techs in this game, IMO, is having two bows per tech; Shortbows, and Longbows. Shortbows would have better initiative then current bows, but not deal quite as much damage. Longbows would deal more damage, while keeping the -8 initiative penalty.

Reply to How do I start new settlement with 30 population? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Your first city should always start with 30 population, but every city after that will only start with 3. The only thing that will give your cities more population is time, with prestige determining how many people you get a turn. If your very first city doesn't have 30 population when your sovereign founds it, that's a bug. Also, if Altar's second (or third, or...) city has more than 3 population the turn it's founded, THAT'S a bug.

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="8" id="3169190"]How about all sizes are unlocked at the beginning, but the size depends on the labor cost? So if the unit costs less than 50 labor, its 9 figures/unit, if it costs 50-100, its 7, if its 100-200 its 5, if its 200+ its 3. I don't know exactly what the average labor cost/unit is but something like this would make it more interesting perhaps? This would be closer to how MoM did things.[/quote] I like this idea, act

Reply to Map scrolling versus Minimap movement in FE Beta Elemental Forums

The issue with the map/minimap discrepancy is due to camera orientation. When your camera moves to face the northwest, for example, your minimap does not reorient to compensate. Not sure there'd be a good way to fix that without cutting other areas.

Reply to Before the streaming, did a custom Altar faction with Heroic get Henchmen in the trainable units list? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I'm fine with them being limited to Altarian factions only, but I'm not all right with having to make all my custom Altarian factions Heroic in order to train henchmen.

That's pretty cool. What happens when you try to do it with accessories? Same thing as with trained henchmen (free accessory that never comes unequipped)?

Requiring both a trait and a specific blood is too much for a unique unit though, IMO. And yes, I will say this every

Reply to Before the streaming, did a custom Altar faction with Heroic get Henchmen in the trainable units list? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

It's like Juggernauts, but I strongly believe that requiring both a particular faction AND a trait is overkill on unique unit requirements.

Reply to [0.915 Suggestion] Let players make female henchman in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Would it be possible to circumvent this by allowing either male or female body types to pop up when hitting the random customization button? (The one that gives you random faces/hair for the unit you're making.) I do think henchwomen should be available (and that the name "henchman" should be changed to something more heroic, given Altar's lore) if possible.

Reply to As it is right now, master scout is diminishing my enjoyment of the game. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Some players enjoy not having to worry if their scout is going to be killed by an Umberdroth they auto-explored into. I see no problems with this optional trait as it is currently implemented, except for the fact that there are exceedingly few traits of comparable power.

Reply to As it is right now, master scout is diminishing my enjoyment of the game. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Personally, I think the ability to have your units never get attacked by wandering monsters is a great ability. I wouldn't want every race to have it, and I do think that it's reasonable to exempt cities and outposts from this immunity, but considering Master Scouts is but one trait out of many (like Binding, Death Worship, Heroic, Enchanters...), I think it's just fine as it is. Every other trait just needs to get some love to make them competitive choices. &n

You only get 20 influence when you start as a Diplomat, instead of the listed 40. Annoying, since Silver Tongue requires 30 influence to cast (cost not listed in mouseover either).

I always read your AARs, Tujidy. Seeing what the game is like on the much harder difficulties is interesting, and I like the narrative you're crafting for your kingdom.
