[quote who="Frogboy" reply="1" id="3333690"] You can change the pacing settings in game setup. When you set up your game, there is a world option called "Pacing". Change from "Normal" to "Fast" and see how that feels.[/quote] Thanks! Serves me right for being to anxious to start playing without checking the settings first. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Saw the above on the splash screen. Pretty sad that SD feels the need to remind people that they are not playing a final release. What does that say about us as a community?
After playing a while, the game feels very slow compared to FE. I believe this is working as designed, but personally I would prefer if it could be a bit faster. It reminds me of the last chapter of GC2, where it took quite a while to get decent weapon tech. If others agree, I suggest revisiting the experience points each monster is worth, and allowing a sovereign/champ to choose 2 traits on level up instead of one.
I confirm that I'm having similar issues, but my air elemental remains stationary/immobile for the entire combat.

[quote who="willie sanderson" reply="21" id="3333521"] Lol I paid $80 for War of Magic and you didn't hear me CRY about them dropping the price of it. I swear people cry about nothing anymore just to read themselves cry I think.[/quote] Well, I think it has to do more about the timing of the price drop, rather than the drop itself. "Back in the day" it took a while for prices to drop. People just have to get used to the new environ
I don't think anyone's being cheated, but aggressive discounting has become the new normal. For example, FE was discounted 66% a month after release. So the lesson learned from this new pricing environment is patience. Soon enough, that game you want, will be discounted. Just learn to wait it out.
That's quite an impressive list of changes/improvements!
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="61" id="3332191"]My own *personal* (i.e. not representing Stardock here) gripes have to do with modding and AI. Having modded a lot of games, including Civ IV, I have been somewhat irked at times at the level of hand holding that some people in the modding community expect. [/quote] But modding helps extend the life of the product and generate enthusiasm for free. Isn't that worth the frustration of hand holding? How
[quote who="DigitalIP" reply="280" id="3331668"] Will LH integrate into FE or will the 2 be separate? [/quote] The two will be separate, similar, I believe, to the way GC2 chapters (versions) were set up.
[quote who="NorsemanViking" reply="19" id="3331728"] Every single soul claim they represent the customers when they voice their opinion here. What the common customer really wants can't be decided by the people with the highest voices at the forum. A wise developer listens to those things they think can improve the current game design (within the economical limits), and lends a deaf ear to most other things. Better make a great game based on your visi

Personally, I don't care about shadows. IMO, just bake them in and be done with it. Dynamic seems like too much work for something most people won't pay that much attention to. Or maybe I'm in the minority and shadows are more important than AI, UI and depth, engagement and play-ability.
[quote who="MutantDwarf" reply="68" id="3330916"] Pretty sure it's just the melee units that are moved closer - ranged units still spawn farther away.[/quote] That's true, but at least according to Brad in the video, the ranged units start just a couple tiles farther away from the melee units. It just doesn't seem quite far enough.
I don't see LH on Steam.
On a related note, I built a custom sovereign and set him up as one of my AI opponents. Very early game, I encountered him, went to war, and when he surrendered, I viewed his item list. He had quite a few magic items in his possession that he couldn't have gotten so quickly.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="26" id="3328180"] I think Soren's amazing talents would be wasted if he was spending his time creating running balance sheets, doing revenue projections, writing contracts, negotiating distribution licenses and attending meetings. Therefore, I think it would make more sense to utilize the world's top game designer's skills in designing games. [/quote] As a person who runs balance sheets and does revenue projec
So, I settled my first city, got a hero, and started searching for a new spot, and searching, and searching. I come across three factions, all with power ratings at least double mine. It was about the first 20 turns. At that point, I just started a new game. How about you?
Fire and Ice staffs are nice, but I also want to see lightning staffs too!
[quote who="flagyl" reply="40" id="3326306"] With the release of LH, what happens to FE? That is, can I toggle between FE and LH 'modes', or does FE become LH after purchase? I may want to play FE after purchasing LH (I might prefer a certain play style one day and another play style at a different time); will I be able to do so, or will FE as I know it become non-existent after installation of LH?[/quote] It's my understan
[quote who="Garoon" reply="267" id="3325980"] has it already been announced when the beta will start in march?? (beginning, middle or end of march?) I can't believe nobody has asked this question yet...! ^^ [/quote] In another thread, Brad said he was planning on releasing the beta next Thursday, but will delay it another week, so around mid March.
As someone who often lags in owning the latest and greatest technology, I appreciate that SD is trying to accommodate 32 bit users. (Although, this time around, I'm in the 64 bit camp, and it's a non-issue for me)
No, unfortuntely not. You will have to train new units.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="11" id="3324863"] But I still think those are the three best choices, even if you can't choose them at the same time.

[quote who="Aristoi" reply="248" id="3324437"] Quoting DrFugue13, reply 76 Guys, you gotta stop giving this stuff away for free! I want you making great games for another 25+ years! Personally I like the move to Steam. I was one of the people who pre-purchased Elemental so even when I got FE for free I bought it again on Steam, just because I like Steam and, well, like I said, you can't give this stuff away for free! <br
