Request: Option to use fast resolve with no magic use. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I have a request. I like the fast resolve feature for tactical battles. The option in the upper right corner that lets you play through a battle at high speed. Its a good mix between doing everything myself or using autoresolve and getting wonky results sometimes. However, there is one major bottleneck to me using it. The simulator likes to use magic....a lot! Sometimes my guys will keep casting spells even when the battle is in the bag. I have se

1) Bug Fixes/AI Improvements. I still feel like this game is me vs the monsters with the occasional other city coming around. 2) Be able to see in the tech tree how much research a tech costs. 3) More easily change city spells (i hate having to go to the details screen to dismiss spells). 4) A way to bulk cast spells that i might case on my whole army or spells like raise/lower land. 5) A rebalance of late game tech.

There is a lot of elements i really like about the game: 1) I really like the combat system. I am not a big warmonger, but this give me enough tactical combat without boggin me down. 2) I like how you can change the world with your magics. 3) Building armies i find a lot of fun and has a good element of customization while again not being too much. but it has its weakness too. 1) The AI is pretty weak overall. I feel like i

Reply to Heroes not dying in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I'm fine with the system as is. Heroes can represent a significant portion of an armies strength. I already think that killing an opponents main army gives you too much of an advantage and lets you steamroll through cities. At least this way the heroes can try to make an impact in the next fight.

Suggestion: Intermediate Steps between Leather and Chain Armor in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Right now, i feel like there is too large a gap between leather and chain type armors. Most of my units use leather based armors for the majority of my games. Further, i know there is also discussion that iron isn't used quickly enough and tends to stockpile. So perhaps we can kill two birds with one stone. The idea: 1) Create a studded leather armor gained a blacksmithing that would exist between leather and chain type armor. This armor would have a

[quote who="merlinme" reply="17" id="3384047"] Spears get five moves for every four which clubs get, which can be significant. Spears also don't lose a move after using their special ability.[/quote] In my experience though, clubs don't need those extra moves. One good bash can cripple or destroy an opponents army. So when the opponents turn is up, there counterattack is all the weaker. That combined with the ability for clubs to use shields means

[quote quoting="post"] Simple question, I guess. The Heirogamicon says that research and production are modified by population. Is this the case? [/quote] It is...after a fashion.

Conclaves get a lot of research, and then a little money and production for example. But that said, the actual populati

[quote who="BernieTime" reply="1" id="3381301"] General answer is that Spears are fine, you just need to build units that take advantage of their perks.

Reply to There is no real/not enough combat balance between units in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I don't have any problems with archers as they currently stand. Melee troops may not be specialized to beat archers, but statwise they are still superior. Melee troops have a better attack, better initiative than their archer counterparts. They also get swarming bonuses, and they penetrate defense easier because of their higher attack. Archers have their uses, but they are not the end all be all.

Reply to Empire management needs to be deeper in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I think part of the shallowness for me is the percentage and late game buildings. Because the numbers in LH are very low, percentage buildings don't really do all that much. The sage for example usually gives me roughly the same +1 as the study. The well is actually usually much worse than a garden, etc. Also many late game buildings take a very long time to build for not a whole lot of benefit. The tax office for example gives the ability to get 20% more we

This is one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" areas. Now, the pioneer exploit i do believe should be fixed. But i don't have an issue with outposts as they stand, they are plenty useful, well worth the population investment to get them. while higher level cities are nice, they are not worth denying yourself those extra crystal, iron, or shards.
