Reply to Suggested improvements for tactical combat in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="SOLOSOL" reply="2" id="3259216"]- City tactical battles. This really needs some love. If not doing like old MoM, at least divide tactical map in two, separated by the wall with a fence, or better, two fences. The outside is the same, the inside with some buildings, to remind a town.... All cities should have a wall, at least that is what it seems in the strategic map, but the simplest wall (made of wood) should be destroyed with a few attacks. If the city has built Walls, that cou

Reply to [1.00 (since Beta)] balance issue with AIs taking quests in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Quests (and army strengths) need more degrees of difficulty ratings, which the AI should check and balance (along with proximity) in determining the one most worth attempting. The AI should also be able to follow quest paths from location to location, barring it wins the roll for each one. Any decisions it must make could also be rolled, or new tags targeting the AI could be added to quest definitions.

Reply to No Multiplayer in Fallen Enchantress. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Strategy gamers and multi-player game players are two different demographics, even if just one individual or one game can be classified as both. The incentives for playing each type of game are completely different. Asking strategy gamers if they are interesting in multi-player produces very little data of value. The percent of gamers in general that only play multi-player games is huge. This is the demographic that needs to be surveyed as to their interest in a turn-b

Reply to [Issue] Pedestrians missing in tile editor in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="8" id="3258271"] However, I can run it well past (upto 3.25gig) and do operate with dual core (3gig/3gig) which is better than many 64-bit boxes still sold today. (Win-Xp pro does that and it was released in 2001 ). [/quote] Same here. It is quite odd that the lil 64-bit tablet over here with an on-board video card has pedestrians, but this relatively beefy laptop doesn't. I promise that some day I

Reply to [Issue] Pedestrians missing in tile editor in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="6" id="3258137"] * extra material at no cost for my fellow nerds: Hiding the pedestrians once the game has started doesnt help because the pedestrians are merged into the tile designs on load. Even though the editor lets you work with the pieces as seperate blocks, we merge them on load so that we arent drawing/lightning/rotating thousands of different pieces in real time. With a merged tile design we have 1 3d object to manipulate. So t

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="3" id="3257783"] It's a goddamned feature. I hate it too, but it's here to stay. It used to be the sensible way around, but it was decided that careful laying out of your city should NOT work out to your advantage, so now if your city does not start next to a forest, you'll never build a logging camp.

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="1" id="3257975"]We save over 200 meg by having them disabled. I don't think it would be very good for general players to have them create a tile design with pedestrians and then not see them in their game. And for most people I think we are better off removing the option so they cant turn it on and run into memory issues/crashes rather than giving it to them (even defaulting to disabled with a big disclaimer on it) and having the game crash.[/q
