Update: Further testing indicates its the very old tactical tooltip not updating bug. Persisting through several rounds, my Sovereign with the MoO unit enchantment and the mana pool just below the non-MoO mana cost for the spell, had indicated the non-MoO tactical spell mana cost in the tooltip (and not enough mana as the reason it couldn't be cast) as the reason the spell was disabled, but after the actual cooldown it allowed the spell to be cast at the MoO m

I have been playing a Beastlord Sovereign with a Familiar to help Tame beasts faster, but have noticed what may either be a new bug I hadn't previously noticed, or an extension of a still persistent very old bug I recall having reported way back in FE beta days. Since a Familiar isn't considered a champion, I can't cast unit enchantments on it like "Mantle of Oceans" which greatly reduces the cost of tactical spells (including Tame) ... while my Familiar can cast every spe

Might I request the thread title get changed (can't remember if the original poster can modify topic) to summarize the two bugs being reported, in this case perhaps something like "[1.7] Two units occupying 1 tactical tile + Hailstone Staff rebalance" ... ideally post them separately, but please at least include a brief synopsis in the thread title so those of us finding a bug can quickly look down the list of threads in LH Support to see whether the bug we want to report has recently alr

[quote who="starkers" reply="18" id="3468970"] Things with Yellowstone could dramatically change in a very short while. It may not appear that it could go off any time soon, but that doesn't mean to say it can't... or won't. Sure, the science of vulcanology has come a long way in recent times, but prediticting when a volcano will erupt... or not, is still too inaccurate to place all one's eggs in the one basket. It may well be that Yellowston

Think nuclear winter without the nuclear.[/quote] Actual nuclear winter is more likely in our lifetime than a Yellowstone super-eruption. Nature throws us plenty of challenges, but we humans prove our machismo by outdoing nature at trying to exterminate ourselves.

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="14" id="3467426"] Good old Yellowstone - that's due for a pop sometime soon [/quote] If by 'soon,' you mean several hundred times longer than all of human-recorded history thus far. Yellowstone isn't close to 'due,' its well below its average span between mega-eruptions since its last eruption, though spans between super-eruptions vary greatly in duration and certainly there have been previous spans of

Ummm, Rainier is central Washington. It wouldn't affect anyone in Canada any more than St. Helens did. In point of fact, its only 50 miles north-northeast of St. Helens. And larger doesn't necessarily mean more destructive ... Rainier is an older peak, so something could be said for it having matured to build a cone of its size. St. Helens was actually not that much shorter than Rainier before she blew. The Juan de Fuca plate is sliding under the North

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="4" id="3467174"] As long as the subduction zones along the pacific and north american plates remains active so will the cascades. Just look at the number of volcanoes along that area and you will see another will blow like St Helens, maybe even bigger. The process of eruption and rebuild is a constant one, albeit over a long period for human recollection. [/quote] They are slowly drifting. Some cones putter out, as the North Siste

Google for "comcast throttling" and you'll see a lot of reports, some by adept researchers, showing they do, indeed, throttle, especially video streaming. It irks me they sell "20 megabits" but when I watch video from a streaming site, my total throughput will drop below 200 -kilobits-.

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="2" id="3467130"] Mount St. Helens had its final cataclysmic eruption It had one, but who's to say it was the final one. [/quote] It actually had several over a month or so leading up to 'the big one.' It also had smaller eruptions that persisted several years after the big blast. It is likely the largest the volcano had incurred since forming its cone, given the massive loss of its cone it incurred. It is not kno

When you wield a semiautomatic gun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, you have nothing to fear by wearing pink. :P

For those of you old enough to remember, where were you 34 years ago when Mount St. Helens had its final cataclysmic eruption after a couple months of unrest? I was only 4 years old at the time, but I remember seeing the plume from our backyard in Tacoma, 68 miles north of the volcano (as the crow flies).

Comcast already throttles, especially if you use P2P even for legal purposes, or any video streaming service (Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, etc.)

I miss the dynasties. I hope they make a comeback. Maybe in some future iteration with a more epic span of time for which one generation is not adequate. Maybe even have it to break from the cliche tradition of you, personified as the sovereign, not having fantasy-immortality; with a dynasty, your sovereign could and would eventually die from old age, if nothing else, but if you had married your sovereign and produced offspring, the game wouldn't end and your offspring s

Anyone who thinks Fukushima and Chernobyl are the only nuclear disasters needing cleanup, and we're safe in the USA has really not studied the issue. Hanford (in southeastern Washington State, USA) was closed down decades ago but isn't even close to being cleaned up. In fact, just a few years ago a major new underground water contamination was discovered that threatens the entire Columbia River system downstream -- all the way down to Portland, which is the largest city

[quote who="Megyn" reply="5" id="3420033"] The best way to lift people out of poverty is to set them free. There is a strong correlation between freedom and wealth.[/quote] Where? Not in the U.S. The vast majority of wealth in the U.S. is inherited ... there is no freedom in the inequity that some people start out ahead and others are disadvantaged by being born to a family that isn't well off.

A lot of sites allow certain punctuation characters (as in they don't give you an error) when picking your password, don't specify it as being prohibited in the note for the password, but if you actually attempt to use that character in your password, cause an error that won't allow you to log in. I had this issue actually with my password I used to sign up for my stardock account back in 2006, and a lot of other sites. And, yeah, its very annoying how some sites limit

Yes, I've noticed quirky shadows on 1.4 as well. I've noticed odd shadows on some characters in tactical combat that don't seem to have an object casting them.

[quote who="kona0197" reply="2" id="3410161"] Why not use a SSD? No moving parts to worry about.[/quote] Last time I checked, SSDs have a much lower MTBF than hard drives. In addition to being more expensive, they don't last.

Its okay to do so if you're an AI though. I've seen the AI build outposts and make settlements right next to dragons and rarely seem to get attacked :/

How evil of them! And incorrect of you.
