Reply to CHAMPIONS vs. SOLDIERS in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Having had a chance to actually build some troops in my most recent game, I must say they feel greatly improved. With an essence-heavy city and some decent production, I'm able to pump out some terrifyingly powerful troops that even my own heroes would be hard-pressed to take down. I'm particularly happy with my basic mage troops that have 60(!) elemental attack. I still greatly prefer building henchmen over troop stacks, but there's now a very serious incentive

Reply to Path of the Governor - Garrison Leader? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Oooo, interesting. I like the idea of boosting the effectiveness of all aspects of your city with the governor, especially given how easy it is to eliminate unrest penalties at the moment. I'd limit it to the city that particular champ is in at casting, though, if possible. As fun as it would be to have a governor giving bonuses to 2 cities at once, that would be completely nonsensical, and maybe slightly OP.

Tactical spells with unlimited duration should be high-level, expensive, or both. That way, you can keep the OP nature of haste and slow, since you're gonna have to refresh it every few turns if you want it to last. I'd much rather have to refresh my game-changing spells than have a spell my enemy need not fear never expire. There should also be ways to get rid of even temporary debuffs and buffs on units, but I don't know how easy it would be to implement such a

YES YES YES YES YES X100000. Death magic should have some sort of thematically appropriate healing spells as well (something like Transfer Life) to let them benefit as well.

Reply to [.981][AI bugs] The AI doesn't upgrade its altars and doesn't take on quests in FE Support Elemental Forums

I've noticed that even on challenging, the AI is really bad about cleaning up its homeland. I saw several easy quests around Resoln's capital before I captured it, and noticed in .98 that Tarth wasn't bothering to clear out lairs that would have posed no threat to Irane's army.

Reply to The Tech Tree Strategy... in FE Beta Elemental Forums

No matter who I play, civics is my first tech. It's simply far too useful to go for anything else. After that, if I'm playing a faction with the Enchanters trait (I almost never play anything else), I rush Spellbooks so my sovereign can become a murderous archmage of doom. Then it's back to civilization techs until I feel like giving my sov some supporting henchmen. Warfare techs I almost completely ignore.

Reply to Why am I still getting steamrolled unless I choose ONE specific strategy? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I still think that warfare techs should contain all non-trinket items for soldiers, both magical and mundane, and that the magic tree weapons and armor should be champion-exclusive (trinkets and cloaks are fine where they are). I'm also holding out hope that we'll get some modding tools, so that players like me can have an interface to hold our hands while we dink around with modding.

Y'all are way to obsessed with swinging the nerf bat at anything that so much as whiffs of imbalance. The better (if more time-consuming) solution is to buff the alternatives. I, for one, heartily agree with

Reply to Fallen Enchantress 0.982 Changelog in FE Support Elemental Forums

Instead of nerfing the power of haste and slow, how about simply limiting their duration? 3 turns on slow, 4 turns on haste? Building a support-oriented magic user should feel as game-changing to play as one hurling fireballs left and right, just in a different matter.

How do you tell which units are "magical"? What makes a unit a "utility" unit? Given that a huge feature of the game is troop customization, you would have to decide which item or group of items would make a decide these things, and then code them. And then have to deal with the unending arguments online over why such-and-such combination of items is incorrectly coded, or why blah should instead be coded as blurgh.

Even so, that's, um, impressively low. It's why I made my Amarian champion a defender, instead of a mage.

Reply to Why am I still getting steamrolled unless I choose ONE specific strategy? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Right now, the game is balanced around people city spamming as much as possible. You don't NEED to focus on Civilization exclusively, though I find the the first tier of Civ techs to be incredibly worthwhile. You do, however, need to spam pioneers and take as many cities as possible. I find 5-6 in the early game to be a decent number to start with.

Reply to I suggest a minimum initiative that Slow etc. can't reduce below, say 8. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I dislike the idea of nerfing magic, especially as it's currently implemented. I would, however, like to see a bit more incremental scaling (magic damage racking up incrementally, traits that improve buff/debuff performance by +X per rank, etc). Personally, I'd prefer a tactical spell that dispels all enchantments on a unit (or 2 spells, one for positive and one for negative spells) that's unlocked via Sorcery or another midgame tech, so all champions can cast it.&nb
