Fallen Enchantress Beta 4 Tarth Chapter 3: Troll Wars

I meant generation in the sense that it generates a map out of stamps. 

What does this do?

<TinySeedSpawns>2</TinySeedSpawns>
<SmallSeedSpawns>2</SmallSeedSpawns>
<MediumSeedSpawns>0</MediumSeedSpawns>
<LargeSeedSpawns>0</LargeSeedSpawns>

I assumed that decides the ratio of different stamps used. I also wonder how it is able to give me 10% ocean on a map. It seems like an odd way to define the size of the land.

I play on Harder. Before I was playing on Challenging in the initial beta 4 series. Now that I have modded things a bit, I made my own difficulty. It is somewhere between Hard and Expert. Basically I give the AI total sight over the whole map. They get a 15% bonus to gildar. Their Sovereign gets a 30% boost to Hp. That might not seem like much, but it really changes things past turn 200. Tarth in particular has a huge economic advantage in the first game I played as they are not shy about settling everywhere with their masterscouts ability. 

When I play Tarth, I generally expand slowly but explore thoroughly. AI Tarth's biggest mistake is always expanding without being able to defend what they stake. I never like to have more than three choke points to defend. Can't wait for the AI to figure that out.

Just curious but how do you mod or edit the difficulty? I would love to adjust a few things!

[FE][Beta4] Resoln Chapter 1: An Early Win

I like to hear myself talk so much I figured some of it might be useful.  Thinking about an audience watching also helps prevent me from modding in my own preferred balance, fixing my own bugs and waiting for new releases. I hope some of my videos give the devs a different perspective about the game. I wish every beta game was recorded and sent to Stardockia. 

I gave up on that last game. Getting an early surrender makes things too easy. 

My next series will be a modded version again. I will play as Pariden, now the most magical race of them all. 

I just watched the Resoln video. There were no monsters threatening at all. The world has gone to sleep as users have complained about being beaten up. The frog has nerfed them totally.

I forgot to do a sound check before recording.  

Yeah, what I do is export the audio to audacity and then do noise cancellation with any background static. Its a little bit easier if you record your voice separately.

I may have missed it, but did you ever track down why the AI was so successful at bashing with its units?  It seemed excessive.
