I can't see the pic for some reason, but it might mean someone has cast a debuff spell on your city. Check your city details screen, and see if any negative enchantments are there.
[quote quoting="post"] QUEEN PROCIPINEE -enchanters is pretty weak as unique ability only outposts might be useful but just to save time nothing more -scrying pool is pretty OP since essence is now really strong mid game: and suddenly she become nearly useless none of her schools of magic are any good mid game(well not her problem just as usual only fire is viable in the actual game) [/
[quote who="Kongdej" reply="7" id="3213656"]Bingjack, I must say sorry if I was rude, I am happy you say good things about the game, I am positive the developers (and other forum members) enjoy looking at some positive stuff once in a while, the developers mostly due to so they can see what they are doing right in our eyes Sincerely ~ Kongdej[/quote] No need for anyone here to apologize for anything. Except possibly for Mqpiffle dissing iambic pentamete
A few thoughts. [quote] daggers or bows that inflict poison with DoT. [/quote] Poison daggers are in. Any melee weapon can be poison dot with a +poison item equipped, but there are also specifically named toxic daggers. Poision bows are a nice concept, but very hard to balance with kiting issues. It's already a challenge to keep bowmen balanced. [quote] High level versions
I agree with the people who disagree about Raise/Lower land. Those spells should not be any cheaper. You should not be able to use them casually, at least until late in the game. I do also tend to think that Anti-City spells should be prohibitively priced, and not intended to be used until later in the game. But perhaps some of them need to pack a little more punch for the buck. Incinerate City does seem underwhelming for the title. If the AI ever learns
If I recall, dialogue flavor was something that evolved over time with Gal Civ 2. The alien factions became much more entertaining with each expansion. So you probably have that to look forward to. I like the conversation options idea in concept, and that potential is certain already in the game, although I'm not sure if some of the examples you mocked up are completely valid. This is just nitpicking, mind you, but wouldn't the outcome for "Please
[quote who="Kongdej" reply="13" id="3213598"] Also why do the capital need to be so important I hope for more stuff to make the capital less important, since my capital usually aint as good as that spot I found with 4/3/3. Still like the idea though!... I am just wary that it might... something. j[/quote] Well, I had assumed there was some sort of process for changing your capital. I thought it was building the palace, b
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="5" id="3213585"] The nature of a beta is that the developers want critical posts. They'd rather receive these now than later, and while I'm sure they appreciate the positive comments, it's not what a beta cycle is for. Of course, they want critical posts that are both sensible and constructive--not "The game stinks, there's nothing redeemable in it, it's the same old WoM." If you think the game is really starting t
I now demand there be a spell in the game called "Dagger of the Mind". I don't even care what it does. It could scald the rooves of their mouths with coffee that is too hot for all I care. Or administer an ice cream headache. Possibly it forces them to read 50 Shades of Grey. (Great list, with a lot of good spell ideas.)
[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="6" id="3213264"] I've actually been able to rush ahead of the AI early on and demand surrender of the first one I meet, on Challenging. It is nice because prestige is so hard to get and hunting down their remaining forces when they are almost dead is tedious. I think that they should be a little less willing to submit, especially if you are the opposite faction (kingdom vs empire) [/quote]
Well, I tried. Shame we can't have more positive feedback posts that get as much attention as the critical ones. But I suppose that's the nature of the beast. While it is very important to deal with the issues the game has, I feel bad for being so critical all day, and not being able to dwell on all the ways the team's hard work is paying off. Anyway, pretty!
[quote who="MisterAedan" reply="2" id="3212934"]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.[/quote] I know, neither am I. I have finally managed to mature to the point I don
[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="7" id="3213192"]I am okay with a 1 per faction upgrade to the guardian statue but just giving an AI a powerful free unit doesn't really seem like fun. [/quote] Really? Because(In my opinion)... 1) Owning a giant monster is fun. (You get one too. A defensive monster that is good for nothing but making sure your Capital doesn't fold too early in the game against a wandering bear cub, but does nothing to
[quote quoting="post"] (6) I will be needing your help on strategy for the AI. When you play Fallen Enchantress on Challenging (anything below challenging has the AI gimped to various degrees) you’re basically playing me. As some of you know, Fallen Enchantress (like GalCiv but unlike WOM) will make use of your multi-core processor. Every AI player gets their own thread. Long story short, I can do some terrible, evil things with the AI. But I know there are play
It's something about the system I really dislike. The new city system is supposed to reward specialization, and yet resources get assigned to cities that arent designed for production, forcing them to chug along to build a single shrine. The production queues are far too crowded for that as it is. One solution is to make it like in Gal Civ 2, where Starbase...I mean outpost upgrades are built by constructors, I mean pioneers. That would allow you to determine what c
[quote who="Garisi" reply="1" id="3212981"]Guardians force you to gather momentum to sweep anything. I like that, but it does remove some options, and it might even confuse the AI as it would have to pace itself a bit. [/quote] Capital guardians. It doesn't force you to build momentum to sweep anything , it forces you to build a significant force before you can take down a Capital. Nothing else changes. You can push an AI all the way back t
[quote who="Bellack" reply="60" id="3212935"]Ok first off Distance yourself as far away from WOM as you possibly can. I would completely take out the world Elemental. Just call it Fallen Enchantress. [/quote] Like others have already said, I don't really think that is going to fool anyone who is already aware of the game, and the new audience that Steam brings with it probably won't be aware of it either way. There won't be a single review that
It's been suggested before. Thought I'd bring it back up as a fun way to address the persistent issue with the pushover AI factions. Other similar games have this feature. All the way back to EWOM, this series has only ever given me fleeting instances of feeling the need to build armies, or recruit many champions past my initial few. The AI is simply too vulnerable to military steamrolling by a few powerful champions or units. I wish I could say it was onl
I was tempted to call it "broken". Sadly, Hyperbole always gets more attention for your issue. I know Frogboy hates it when people casually refer to features as broken, but I think it fits. For starters: 1) It doesn't work in any logical fashion. The AI is willing to become my thrall for life at the drop of a hat, whereas they wont accept a peace treaty when my vast military machine has them down to a tiny, resource-bankrupt outpost in a corne
I wish I could upgrade outposts. But with the 3 turn production minimum, the new never ending production queue from having to queue every single thing on a map, including having to upgrade wild improvements through cities that aren't designed for production, there's simply no time. I don't even get halfway through my critical improvements by the end of game. The game would be several times over before I began to think about upgrading an outpost.
[quote who="mdonais" reply="13" id="3212557"] I enjoy spending more time on quests and armies and big picture stuff instead of little boring details like building roads. [/quote] Ironically, for a system put in place ostensibly to save the player from worrying about roads, I find myself more preoccupied with the roads in FE than any game with the most micromanagey of road building.
I only play large maps, and have been playing a combination of "challenging", and "hard" in .95. The last two games I've played have ended up with corrupted save game files, at between 100-150 turns in. I suspect If I played any of these maps long enough, eventually they would corrupt. Reported and files submitted. I finished one game by beating it very early on (just over a hundred turns), by using the broken "Demand Surr
[quote quoting="post"] Next week we expect to release an update to Fallen Enchantress. That update will be available to existing users of Fallen Enchantress and it will also be the first version available for sale on Steam (Beta 4-A). [/quote] Wait, you're selling Beta 4-A as a retail game on Steam...next week? Am I understanding that right? Or are you simply talking pre-orders here? I don't mean t
[quote quoting="post"] I’m not above gaming the system until Kael notices this. I should probably tell him that you can combine natural leader with cruel and get +1 attack. Should. [/quote] I tried this in .95. The game simply seemed to ignore the Natural Leader trait, and charged me for the Champions anyway. :(
Made a number of critical posts today, so I wanted to balance it out with some positive feedback. To be honest, I've not really been much of a fan of the visual look of the game, going back to EWOM. But I have to say, the improved graphics on the cloth map make a lot of difference. I really like the softer, prettier, more colorful painted look it has, as opposed to the old one which was a pretty harsh transition. The glowy beacon effects of the elemental shrin
