[quote who="Ashbery76" reply="15" id="3290129"] I would like an option for cannon starting positions on Anthys considering it is a lore map. Thank you.[/quote]Me too. Having the option of "historical" starting locations would be fantastic.

[quote who="Kazriko" reply="3" id="3167968"]I avoid Steam if I can, because it's far too DRMy for me. [/quote]What he said. Steam has gotten better since release- when I initially swore off of it. I now buy PC games there on occasion when they're Steam exclusive or when a discount is so deep that the fact that I'm only able to play the game until they decide I can't doesn't bother me. My preferred digital distributor is GOG.</p

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="52" id="3132716"]I am glad that Umber and Capitar are being "temporarily" cut for FE launch ... but maybe have them return for an expansion? I think Umber could have some really good lore behind it. Capitar I'm a bit more shaky on, but I believe that it can be done.[/quote]Minor factions? Maybe?? Maybe???

Alot of good info there Brad, but this was the best news of all: When will the final version be released? We still see months of work ahead of us. We don’t have a specific “gold” date yet. We intend to follow-up with a BETA 3 roughly a month from now. We’ll have a better idea where we are at that point to start thinking of release dates. I'm glad to see the final release will

[quote who="maxbergen24" reply="8" id="3071473"] That sucks, it seems the opposite for me. The monsters NEVER attack the enemy and will chase me around the map all day. [/quote]I've noticed that some too. I had a bone ogre that would chase me off every time I got near him and he would repeatedly stomp all over my nearby gold mine. But an AI strolled in with some pioneers and founded a town a square away from him and he didn't bat an eye. I could see how he might

First Complaint: Champions vs. Everyone else It’s a fine line. You want champions to matter but you don’t want to make it about collecting champions and steam rolling. The basic problem I see is that champions have too much base HP imo. We used to have it a lot less but then they were pointless. So it’s something we’re placing with. I guess, to me, it depends how you view champions. Are

I understand why you sold it. And I'm also glad there's a viable alternative to Steam out there. It's just that I'd feel alot better if Stardock still handled digital distribution of their own games. Even if it wasn't Gamestop that bought Impulse, the fact is I really don't trust anyone else not to screw me over at some point in the future. Digital distribution is a daunting prospect for the consumer. We're expected to shell over (usually) the same amount o

I too think the goal in MP should be to make it as much like SP as possible. It's understandable if not every single SP feature makes it- just make it as close as you can. If we're playing MP with friends, we don't care if we have to wait thru tactical battles.....(for example)

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="13" id="2893105"] I'd have to disagree with your statement that damage types would make tactical combat shallow.[/quote]Me too. It's not terribly accurate to use a 1v1 battle as an example. Even the game itself defaults those scenarios to auto-calculate. It gets more interesting when you have multiple varied units and you have to plan tactically for them to engage enemy units that they are best equipped to deal with, while trying to deny the same e

I like this idea. I don't think accusing them of stealing ideas from other games is a good way to persuade them though. There are bound to be mechanics in common with games of similar genres- it doesn't mean anyone's ripping them off.

FWIW, I have 64bit Win7, PhenomII, 4GB of RAM and an ATI5700 series. My game is running acceptably at about 18FPS. Clearly the GPU isn't being pushed hard, but I've been playing for hours and only noticed how low my FPS was when I fired up Fraps. Im using Catalyst 10.4

[quote]In this beta build, it seems like gardens are almost a way of encouraging specialization because being as inefficient as they are, they take up a lot of building space. If you can't secure a large food source, you don't really have the room to keep a town balanced while gaining any significant boost in one area.[/quote]Yep, and I thought that was intended behavior. I don't think the balance was quite right, but overall, I approved of the mechanic.

[quote who="Xtropy" reply="141" id="2653739"] This is indeed my point. Now the reward for carefully placing a city in a good spot will be infinitely higher than it was in the past. Specifically my point is, currently, gardens provide the exact function that you claim you are looking to avoid, they forgive non-careful play by giving people access to food without having to carefully place their cities. As it stands now, if you don't carefully place your city y

[quote who="Sanati" reply="18" id="2652775"]I know you can't please everyone, but I'm disappointed in the city change. I think most of the complaints about the current system are from people who don't really understand the food system or aren't researching the housing upgrades. You only need like 10-12 villas to max a city right now, and gardens are optional if you just go out and look for food resources (one bee hive with a granary is 30+ food). I really like the current system where you can

[quote who="Flarelocke" reply="2" id="2385430"]I had something similar happen in the open. The enemy sovereign wasn't moving, and I had conquered all of his cities. I couldn't win the game until I'd killed him, so I sent my soverign to the surrounding areas in case he was simply drawn in the wrong place. I got my sovereign to fight him by sending him three tiles down and left of the enemy sovereign.[/quote]What he said. I noticed the same thing. If you

Edge scroll has been essentially non-functional for me. But click-dragging the map seems to work fine as well as clicking a unit to center the map.

I had the same problem, but somewhere between updating my video drivers, rebooting, and starting a new game with a different faction, the problem seemed to go away. I have since been able to save and load without this issue. If the problem crops up again, I'll mention it here. Edit: Ok, I just checked and it's back..... I noticed something else too. When I loaded it reset my avatar too. I was playing as the Knight-looking one, but the picture is now of the wizard when I
