Reply to [0.98 Bug] Placing Outpost Creates (?) Fertile Land in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="taltamir" reply="20" id="3235759"] You don't need a manual, you need in game descriptions and changing those whenever you make a change to the mechanics themselves. Its not too difficult to do.[/quote] Fleshing out and finalizing in-game descriptions and tool-tips is usually part of the manual development process completed near the end of a game design life-cycle, as in this case, refining the mechanics and UI commonly closes a beta; the

Even as an IT professional I have more issues using these forums than any other on the net, and highly recommend updating the software, or at least replacing the WYSIWYG.

[Idea] Water-walking, and sea travel (4 new traits) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] : [quote]I'm not too excited about the way sea travel is typically done.

[quote who="taltamir" reply="18" id="3235746"] That, I THINK is a bug, I am not sure due to lack of documentation.[/quote] Given that the game mechanics themselves are still being designed, it would be very premature and illogical to have already developed a manual for them.

Reply to [0.980][UI] Misaligned top bar hover highlights in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="sratner" reply="5" id="3234580"]I noticed that the resource icons disappear from the top bar when the amount of the resource is zero; so if at any point during the game I have zero mana, or zero crystals, the icon for that resource is removed. Besides being a somewhat annoying mis-feature (when I suddenly don't see my mana at a glance, I start looking around for it, and it takes me a minute to realise that it must be at zero - an obvious "0" in the top bar would be

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="14" id="3234706"]I really hope quests become redoable, it might not be realistic, but will be much nicer to play through in the game, or hell just spawn new ones from time to time and let all the really difficult ones be gone for the first half of the game. Sincerely ~ Kongdej[/quote] I like the idea of every tile moved by a champion having a very small chance of triggering the generation of an appropriately leveled quest near

Reply to [0.98] Trade abuse / exploit in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="MiamiBigAL" reply="1" id="3234571"]The reason you got such a good deal is because you have 200 influence. The more influence you have, the better deal you can get. The REAL exploit is that if you have something like 50+ influence and the person you are trading with has no influence, this grants you a good "exchange rate" both ways and to continually commit arbitrage until all your opponent's resources are in your hands. For example, I may be allowed

Reply to [.980b] balance and GUI, and bug in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote quoting="post"] 2) love the new color scheme into the left menu bar, blue conclaves, red fortresses, green towns, yellow moons....er, right. That works well. Also like that the graphic changes depending on city level; might want to just bring that point home more and put a big roman numeral I through V on each one, however; not enough differentiation between a village and town, or the levels of fortress.
