Reply to [1.1] With +20 Dodge, Resoln's Wraiths are my new favorite race in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="dihir" reply="39" id="3296218"] Nothing can touch my resoln sovereign and I have not researched anything under military. But I am not really clear on how dodge has anything to do with this. My sovereign is holding a staff of souls, wearing adept robes and riding a horse (purchased from a neighbor). Then again, the Gilden sovereign that I defeated can also solo most most battles, including most cities, typically getting only slightly scratched in the pro

Reply to Henchmen Tips! Post your Henchmen Tips here! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Some notes: Henchmens are heroes who don't split exp (they are treated like any other champions - custom equips, gains injuries, can't die). Scions are units who gains traits (they are treated like units - no custom equips, half exp, dies permanently). Scions also don't get access to henchmen specific traits (bard/customshieldwall). Dark Wizard's Cloak of Fear isn't an auto cast, it's just an ability he uses on his first turn. If

Um... maybe you should reread the description for Hobble... it REDUCES movement BY 1, not TO 1.

Reply to [BUG 1.1] AI requesting absurd amounts of Gildar for resources in FE Support Elemental Forums

I think this is due to a new change where the AI values its exchanges based on how much it has. In this case, because you're trying to get all of its gold, so it's valuing it higher than normal. If the AI had a lot of gold, it would be willing to buy your resources in more reasonable exchange rates, but since it doesn't have much, the mechanic kicks in to prevent you from robbing it of the precious few it does have. I don't think it's a bug. They don't want you

Reply to [1.1] With +20 Dodge, Resoln's Wraiths are my new favorite race in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

No offense to anyone, but I don't see how this is even slightly balanced. There's no need to research anything deep in the tech tree, just get to warg, a shield, and a brilliant sovereign with death for blindness. You basically just won the game because 90% of the units won't be able to hit you. My shadow blades (sword+shield warg riders with dodge traits and cloak of night) are virtually invincible without needing blindness... how is anyone finding this balanced? If you w

Reply to mercaneries - mod request in FE Modding Elemental Forums

It's very doable via the quest system... the problem is... the AI doesn't handle it the same way as players do. So you'd have to do some serious balancing via costs if you want to keep it in balance.

Reply to [Question] Trained Unit Classes in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Note that the AI actually doesn't design its own units, it uses default designs, hidden AI designs, and player designs. So if you "leave" it to unit design, you basically have to go in and design all the units for all the races. And even if the AI can somehow build the right unit (might be possible via custom resources), you'd also have to teach it how to compose its armies (I haven't seen anything to indicate that this is possible).

Reply to If build already of wilding camp or Knight of amok camp, how you stop them new troop show up if you don't need it anymore? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I think you can only do that if the city actually absorbs those improvements (inside the city walls). So a possible solution would be to build a city nearby, snake it to the improvement, and raze 'em all (or just the improvement).

Reply to [Question] Trained Unit Classes in FE Modding Elemental Forums

The most we can do right now is to set some priority... which really doesn't help in the situation that you're describing. However, even if the AI somehow recognizes that spears are good vs cavalry, the problem of build up and preparation remains. When an army of cavalry arrives at its door step, it's simply too late to start building spearmens to counter them. By the time you can field enough to be useful, the war would be almost over (this isn't galciv2 where you might have

Reply to CRASH V1.1 Impossible to save games in FE Support Elemental Forums

[quote who="Ambermonk" reply="3" id="3294805"] One has to wonder what the Devs were thinking. How could they release such an unstable patch? My best guess is that they are developing the game on state-of-the-art high-powered machines with tons of graphic power & memory. I'll bet that they never even tested the patch on a 'normal' computer.[/quote] Actually... one of the reason this patch is considered a "major" patch (a .1 step instead of a .01 step), is all the m

Reply to Can't Get A Handle On The Game in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Try to learn the tactical combat system a bit, figure out what you can fight (farm them for exp) and what you can't (avoid), then use your sovereign and a few fodder troops to clear an area before or while settling (this means you almost never have to defend it), and delay settling near dangerous mobs until you can handle it. If you control your ZOC growth afterwards, so that you don't disrupt strong lairs, the only thing that will ever threaten you is the off chance something comes w

Reply to Faction Customization Cost Recommendations 1.1 moving forward in FE Support Elemental Forums

I have to respectfully disagree... Splitting out traits is just another way of saying, I don't want the useless parts, let me stack all the more OP abilities more efficiently. No really, why would you ever waste points on picking staves if you already got the scrying pool? The points that you then saved, can go towards another OP ability instead. What you end up is custom factions stacking a bunch of useful things, and a bunch of useless stuff that no one ever uses. That&#

Reply to Population: Meaningless after a City hits Level 5? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

That's no longer the case. Tax is now based on city level (the hub provides the income). The OP is correct, the actual population no longer matters after you gain the city level (this actually applies somewhat to lower levels as well as lv5 - if you know you can't get to lv5). This is something I pointed out during beta 4 when the system was changed, but no one else seemed to care. As it is, you want to cast your +grain and +food spells so that you can get to lv5 (or the next level),

Actually it is always one path, the thing is, there's actually 2 different quests. One where he turns into a demon, and one where he doesn't. The quests just looks the same until he does... so you think it's random (but it isn't). It's the same with the clearing rat quest, one where you have to fight a spider, one where you don't. As for confusion, I remember getting it once... it's a battle spell that causes the enemy to become clumsy (50% of not attacking

Loner never appears because it doesn't have a Unit_Level abilitybonustype designation, it's probably meant as some sort of unique champion ability. The same is true for Attunement, Brilliant, Hardy, Might, Scholar, Veteran, Wealthy (those are only for sovereign design). Oh, and... + attention :p

Reply to [ui] healing - how much will I heal in FE Support Elemental Forums

A unit generally heals the same amount as their level unless modified in some way (spells/items/traits/etc). A city doubles that (unless modified by another improvement). Territory/Outpost doesn't seem to do anything, Healer/Medic adds 1 (yeah, they're pretty useless).
