Reply to [Questionnaire] Are Monster-Faction Interactions a Problem? in FE Beta Elemental Forums

1. Do you feel monsters act too randomly? Not really. 2. Do you feel like early game monsters are too powerful? Sometimes, although my maps have been quite good about this recently. Earlier builds were worse, with Umberdroths and Knights of Asok very close to starting points and wrecking cities in the first few turns. Now it seems like medium-to-powerful monsters are guarding all the expansions, but I stand a chance of getting an army together who can fi

Reply to Do you have a favorite quest? in FE Sneak Peeks Elemental Forums

I really like one I have only seen once, where you have to defend a group of priests from an unruly mob - or join the unruly mob. Also the Arena & Assassin's Blade quests, especially the latter when you come to the final victim...

Reply to [0.98-0.982] Quest rewards in FE Support Elemental Forums

I like that there are two variants, when the corpse spider one came up I was caught properly off guard. Also, the noblewoman one has a variant, at least as of the current beta. THAT threw me, and I ended up doing something horribly evil and out of character just to see what happened... The rewards I really like are the ones where a unit joins you - I've had spearmen, archers and pioneers pop up. Really useful early on when it's slow to build stuff.

Yeah, only ever cast this once and watched in horror as the demons ran around the enemy city I had summoned them by to chase after my nearest army. Guess there's a lesson in that somewhere.

This looks fantastic (doubly so for giving some love to the underdeveloped Hunter role), looking forward to giving it a try. This has masses of potential.

Reply to [AI issue] When auto-tacticaling reminds you of a clunky PS2 RPG... in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Yes, this, and two other related AI tactical spellcasting issues immediately spring to mind: Units with ranged fire attacks targeting injured units to pick them off - effective in principle, not so much if the injured unit is a fire elemental. Casting of questionable buffs - haven't seen this one so much recently, but there was a point when the AI champion's response to seeing 3 units of knights bearing down on him would be to stand still and cast Protection Against Fi

Reply to City Build Locations in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Does this happen to you a lot? I've seen one or two games like this, including one where I couldn't even build my first city, but it's quite rare for me. What settings do you use when generating the map? As to losing the existing fertile spots, yes, Kongdej is dead right about getting a couple of pioneers out early to bag locations if they're rare, because even though the AI is a bit more restrained in this build it does have a knack for pulling pioneers seemingly out

Reply to Custom Sovereign traits in FE Beta Elemental Forums

My custom Capitar sovereign is actually quite similar to your Pariden one: Diplomat Water 1 Life 1 Brilliant Scholar Wealthy Cowardly Rusty short sword The idea is that he's an academic and a diplomat but not much of a fighter, and in battle functions as a supporting caster/buffer. In previous versions he (with slightly different skills) would take Path of the Governor for the instant prestige bonus, but I'm more likely no

Reply to [WOT]in depth analysis of sovereigns[.95] in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote who="seanw3" reply="58" id="3216860"]Relias would be one of the major factions if Henchmen were less buggy. Those little guys add alot to an army, but I have trouble making custom versions of them to suit my style. The problem is that they have a weak blood trait, a weak weapon trait, a late game quest trait, and an early game defense against fire. That doesn't add up to most powerful faction. Making the blood better and perhaps giving them an entire set of special armor would set

Reply to Does anyone find beast tamer trait useful? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="relmich" reply="5" id="3216361"]Yes it can be quite fun to run around with a beast army, but it is difficult to use that spell at times. I think that if the range of the spell is to stay at 1, than the casting time should be instant rather than 1 round. Personally I would like to see the range of the spell move to 2 or 3 with the casting time remaining at 1.[/quote] Yeah, it's harder to use than the similar Silver Tongue (Diplomat) ability, although that costs influenc

[0.951] Henchmen: greatly improved, but two small bugs in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Started an Altarian game in the latest beta and researched up to the Henchmen tech. They're vastly improved (as is, by the way, the unit design screen - traits are laid out far better), mainly because they can now have mounts. So I'm thrilled with that & can't wait until I have a few of the little buggers running around and levelling up. Even back when they were buggy I had a level 17 guy (who had started out a support unit to one of my proper heroes) charging around the scrap

Reply to [Beta5] 101 Balance Issues (Long) in FE Beta Elemental Forums

[quote]-Blood Line traits are unbalanced. Trogs for example get +20 strength and +1 attack, but other races like Quendar who get 50% fire resistance and cold vulnerability don't even qualify as buffs. Maybe give Quendar +1 initiative and make Trog units more expensive.[/quote] Personally think that the Quendar could just get the 50% fire resistance with no downside - fire weapons and spells are pretty common so this would be a noticeable benefit.

Reply to [.95]Diplomatic "Demand Surrender" Option Currently Bad on Many Levels in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Agreed, this is one of the (few) things that really bugs me, mainly because I'm not strong-willed enough not to abuse it. Point 1 is the critical one, really, as it's what makes it cheesable - it should really be harder to get than a peace treaty, not the other way around. But also a general +1 to everything else mentioned.

[Bug] AI level 1 Magnar with Path of the Warrior and Merchant in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Below is a photo of Magnar at Level 1 with Path of the Warrior and Merchant. This is presumably how all those Warrior-Assassin sovereigns start out (that they always choose Assassin at Lv 4 being a separate but related issue). Reporting this as while it has been reported before, it's the first time I've caught them at level 1 rather than later in the game. A minor annoyance, the extra abilities bug me a little but really it's just sad to always see the warrior-assassins ra
