[quote who="Frogboy" reply="81" id="3868289"] Ok, we did update Fallen Enchantress to fix that spell casting issue. Sorry it took so long!! [/quote] Thank you!!

Yeah, I noticed the "discrepancy" as well (the image of 2d6's in conjunction with the mention of a d20), but I assumed it was done deliberately. The image of a d6 is more iconic than a d20 -- or at least more immediately recognizable -- so it absolutely makes sense that they went with that. Honestly, I loved it when I got the Lucky Dice as a reward item for completing a quest. It gave me a good chuckle.

Yes, 3.0 has officially dropped. https://forums.elementalgame.com/506493/page/1/

Heh, glad it's not just me. FWIW, I have 700+ hours in FE:LH, with most of those hours coming after I picked up the Battlegrounds DLC back in 2015. Ergo, if that battle map *isn't* new, then I've somehow managed to not run into it all this time (which I'm sure isn't impossible, though unlikely). So in the absence of further info, I'm currently leaning towards Brad having snuck in another feature under the radar. :) &nb

Did a new battle map get added to the 3.0 update as well? I've literally never seen this one before.

Forgot to add: It would be really nice if we could go back and delete custom-created characters (Sovereigns) in addition to custom factions. Pretty please?

[quote who="Leomund" reply="16" id="3816314"] I would love a button to delete the custom factions I've made - reminders of my shameful powergaming attempts. I know you can go in to the files and delete them but would be nice to have a button in the UI. [/quote] Ha, I was coming here to request this as well. I happened to notice my old shame factions in the game's encyclopedia while playing last night. I wa

Ooh! I'm showing there is now an opt-in beta under "v3.0 Preview"...

Holy crap, was not expecting this. Can't wait for 2.6! EDIT: I forgot to add, I've always loved zooming in to watch the people in my cities as well. I've always found that to be a very nice touch, and is one of the many reason FE:LH has such a great sense of atmosphere & immersion.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3793038"] We have plans and one of those plans is to actually try to release Elemental: War of Magic onto Steam and help update the branding on the other titles (Elemental: Fallen Enchantress and Elemental: Sorcerer King). [/quote] Wait, hold up. Are you talking about updating EWOM, then? Because that would be freakin' amazing. (I always r

[quote quoting="post"] Galactic Civilizations II (not III) was released a long time ago. Since then, most of the people who worked on the game have remained at Stardock but not everyone. However, over the past year or so, we've been lucky enough to recruit and or contract back some of the original members to return working on new Galactic Civilizations efforts. [/quote] Most excellent!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3797087"] I think most people care about the general LH design more than what engine it uses. [/quote] I think you're correct. [e digicons];)[/e] Not that I can claim to speak for anyone else, obviously, but I suspect most players would concur that the game's design (and atmosphere) are what make it so brilliant.

Hard pass.

^ That's fantastic news! Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow. Totally missed this. Thanks for the update, Derek. Nice to see this gem of a game still receiving support.

Thank you, Jesse & Derek! I truly cannot express how much I appreciate this. ZoC works like a charm now. Huzzah!!

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="10" id="3696969"] Not a simple fix, I'm going to get some dev time to dig into it. But I'm putting the patch out without the fix until the dev becomes available (the dev team is pretty busy with Star Control at the moment). [/quote] Thanks, Derek. We sincerely appreciate it!

[quote who="kwm1800" reply="5" id="3696821"] Or you can simply keep re-load the game and you will eventually see border disappears. [/quote] Indeed. Given how many folks seem to have run into it, the ZOC bug should be pretty easy to reproduce. If you're able to get one of the devs to fix it, Derek, it would be so very much appreciated!!

Was the "disappearing borders" bug finally fixed? EDIT: Nope. Sigh...

I just noticed this as well. I second the sentiment of it being a small issue, yet highly irritating (especially given how frequently it seems to occur).

[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="48" id="3477455"] Still waiting for a good deal on Rome Total War II...[/quote] It was at least 66% off during the sale at one point.

I managed to not purchase a single thing during the Steam summer sale. It was a combination of fairly stern self-control, plus there not being a whole lot that really attracted my attention. (It helps I play mostly strategy games, which limits the opportunities for temptation. [e digicons];)[/e] )

[quote who="Hawawaa" reply="106" id="3477214"] Update 18- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6N7_HAsZo Games delayed to early 2015, thats ok. Still want to preorder (wish he opens that gate soon).[/quote] Yeah, I'm definitely okay with him delaying the game. No point in rushing it out the door unfinished.

I'm rereading the Wheel of Time series, except that I'm finally getting to read all 14 books for the first time. It's been a good time so far! Am currently just over 300 pages into Path of Daggers , and am pleasantly surprised by the pacing. I remembered books 7-10 being a slog, but aside from a couple chapters, CoS wasn't bad at all, and thus far, PoD has moved along just fine as wel

There are two things in particular about FE:LH that bother me: 1.) The lack of epic-ness (especially in the late game). As others have said, it's difficult to have this epic feel when you have "huge cities" of just a few thousand citizens, and "mighty battles" between armies consisting of just 20-30 soldiers. It's particularly bizarre when contrasted against the (satisfyingly large) size of the maps involved. <
