[quote who="DsRaider" reply="6" id="3163418"]From .915 log: + Marginal tile yield tiles have been removed Whatever that means.[/quote] It means you won't see any more 2/3 tiles, so neither you nor the AI can settle on poor locations. the total tile yield (food + material) must be 6 or more in order for you to be able to settle on a tile. I've seen a lot of blank "fertile" areas because of this change while playing against the easier AI.<

[quote who="Kalin" reply="2" id="3162847"]Regarding shard beasts... I think something along the line of Amarian blood would work for them. Basically, they power up based on the number of shards you own. Fire could give attack (or fire attack), Earth could give def, Air could give initiative, Water could give HP... and nothing for Death, that would give an incentive to not turn all your shards into death ones to dirge everything. So you'd have to choose between powering them up or your spe

It is pretty frail, but I think the quest to get it is available from turn 1 (no research required). Still should have a few more hitpoints, but not so many that a lucky quester gets a roflstomping unit before their second city.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="2" id="3162866"]Pillar of Flame can only be used once per turn (do they get extra uses if there are more fire magic users?)[/quote] Yes. One use per fire user per turn. So, if you have 15 fire mages, that's a whole lot of pillaring going on (not to mention a ludicrous number of mages =P )

Never gotten around to building sions. Probably why I've never noticed it before. I loved those guys in WOM...

Reply to [.915 bug] Henchmen can use magic tomes in FE Beta Elemental Forums

If henchmen are meant to use proper magic like regular champs, why are they only given weaker "adept" skills to start out with? I'm not complaining if the tome use is intended, as I'd rather enjoy a bunch of henchmen magi running around fireballing everything to death, but they're supposed to be weaker, more fragile versions of champions. Giving them access to proper spellbooks seems a bit overpowered for a unit that's supposed to be able to die (even if they don&#

[.915 bug?] Henchmen don't gain traits from command post in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Minor thing, but when I build henchmen from a city with a command post, said henchmen starts at level 2, but does not have any additional traits (just extra hit points). Is this intentional, or a bug?

[.915 bug] Henchmen can use magic tomes in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Was testing to see if magic tomes given to henchmen would suffer the same fate as horses and ranged weapons. Nope. Turns out he can use it. Now I've got a henchman fire mage! Hooray! On a semi-related note, if my henchman takes path of the mage, the tooltip for his spells are not adjusted accordingly, perhaps because they're considered abilities.

I noticed that issue as well when I had 2 clay pits feeding into one city; the second pit isn't properly displayed in the mouseover. It'll need to get fixed eventually, but the important thing is your city receives the correct bonus.

If they're building within your ZOC that's a bug; they shouldn't be able to do that. If, however, they're pushing back your ZOC using outposts, to the point that your outpost is enveloped in their territory, then that's intended. Beat them up for it [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Reply to [0.915] Arming golems? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I suppose it's a little misleading, but then again, until .915, there weren't any units that could be equipped with items after they were created. In any case, the only trained units intended to gain/trade items after creation are henchmen, an Altar-specific unit that requires Heroics.

Reply to [.915 bug?] Custom faction can't build Juggernauts in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I love wonky things like this! Unique units shouldn't require both a race AND a trait from custom sovs; pick one or the other.

[.915 bug?] Custom faction can't build Juggernauts in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Since the Juggernaut tech goes where archery would otherwise be, if you create a custom Trog faction without the No Ranged Weapons penalty, that technology never shows up in the UI as being researchable. It is instead replaced by Archery. If that's intended, there should be some way to notify new players that Trogs get either ranged weapons or Juggernauts, but not both.

[.915 bug] Custom faction can't build henchmen in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So I made a custom Altarian faction (you might want to rename Men back to Altarian, that was a bit confusing) and didn't take the Heroic trait because I didn't want it, and now that I've researched Heroes (prereq for henchmen) I find I'm unable to build any of them. I can still create new Henchmen designs, but I can't use them at all.

I've been mulling this over in my head for a while now, and with the upcoming nerf to summoning (can't have tactical and strategic summons of the same unit), I'll have to make a post addressing this. In the meantime, the Summoner profession is useful in the very early game, but that's about it.

Reply to Is auto-play and auto-resolve the same? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

In theory, yes. But Brad has commented before that currently they do not give the same results and need a bit of fixing in that department. Unless there's a huge power disparity between you and what you're fighting (ie a level 7 warrior champ vs a couple mites), your safest option is to auto-play. You can always intervene if the fight starts going poorly for you that way, as well.

I think everyone playing on the lower difficulty levels is experiencing this problem, Gammit. Lord knows I have been, and I'm actually experienced in this genre! Luckily, the problems seem to stem from NPC AI bugs that are (hopefully) being fixed next patch. For now, the only thing I can tell you is that Beginner is still a beginner setting, so you can play around on that setting without (nearly as much) fear of being wiped off the face of the earth in the first handful

Reply to Knights of Asok ruining my early game. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I experienced this same problem when the Knights of Asok were first introduced, and I agree that they have some serious issues for how early they're running around the game. I say they should be stationary until early-mid game, when you and your troops can actually survive an encounter with these guys.

Reply to Global Unity breaks if you lose a harmony lab. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Careful reading is overrated. [e digicons]:P[/e] But you're right, that's some buggy behavior up in thar. I personally had never seen the bugs you mentioned though, in either Rebellion or Diplomacy, though that's probably more because I only play against AI and never lose structures (turtling is fun, I swear!)

Reply to Global Unity breaks if you lose a harmony lab. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Working as intended. When you lose the required number of labs for a tech/building/ship, you no longer benefit from the tech (or can no longer build the related building/ship). Being able to jump your starbases without the required number of labs is I believe a bug.

Reply to Gameplay Question: Am I missing something? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

This game is currently incredibly difficult due to the erratic and unpleasant behaviors of the monster AI. Luckily, this is supposedly being fixed next patch; if that holds true, then a lot of early-game insta-gibs should be resolved.
