Reply to Reloading games is buggy, doing so repeatedly eventually crashes the game in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Not clearing memory has long been an issue with WoM/FE and now LH. Ctrl+N is a nifty feature if you have a sucktacular start, but do it enough times and the game will crash and/or become increasingly buggy because there seems to be variables in memory that WoM/FE/LH doesn't clear when starting a new game or loading a game. I generally exit out entirely now. :/

Reply to I uninstalled Starcraft, now I’m lonely and dejected in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Oh, I am curious about one thing, Brad ... did you ever play Interplay's 1996 MS-DOS-based turn-based strategy game, M.A.X. (Mechanized Assault & eXploration) ? Of every "ground tile"-based turn based strategy game (such as Civilization, WoM/FE/LH, etc., versus Master of Orion which is a TBS but not ground tile-based), M.A.X. is very

Reply to I uninstalled Starcraft, now I’m lonely and dejected in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I am sadly in the same boat as Frogboy on this. Even when I was younger, I just didn't have a good quick reaction response. I think this is a big reason why I continue to prefer TBSes to RTSes. I hope this means Stardock will continue to give us good TBSes and substitute eye candy battles over fights in which the highest APM wins. Sins is okay ... but TBH its too un-micromanageable. Probably my biggest thorn with it is the fact that ships can slow down and

Reply to Do You Play LH to Win? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I don't play to win as quickly as possible, no. I play to dominate, to obscenely overpower ... I get mad if I lose a single unit. I am slowly getting over that, but I still like to play it slow and cautious.

[0.91] Bard could not cast any spells. in LH Support Elemental Forums

I forget which two spellbooks the Bard could cast from, but I also purchased additional spellbooks and read them with the bard (with the trait that allows research into purchasable spellbooks), but in tactical combat, the Bard had absolutely no spells, only skills. :/ That killed my Bard trying to fight a Banshee since Banshees are immune to non-magic damage. :/ On the strategic screen, the Bard shows as having all four elemental magic with spells available.

Reply to All the good names are taken in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Why not simply put a signature in the title? Yeah we call it the "Civilization" series ... but the titles are actually "Sid Meier's Civilization." You could make a "Brad Wardell's Civilization," or if you want to make it less specific to you, "Stardock's Civilization." Or, at least, come up with proper names instead of ... yeah, like Tao said, come up with more proper game names instead of re-arranging generic words.

... and after right clicking on that 3rd tile (which math indicated it couldn't make it to), indeed this is the result: As you can see, its movement is still set to the 3rd tile, but it only made it to the 2nd tile despite the mouse-hovering path (before issuing the move command) indicating it could make it to the 3rd tile

Reply to Thread for reporting grammar issues in LH Support Elemental Forums

Giant Form spell description: "Doubles the target units attack." The typo is the pluralization of unit ("units") when possessive is likely intended ("unit's"); further, this spell only targets champions or sovereigns, so the use of the word "unit" is perhaps vague and should be changed to "champion."

Yes, it is tricky to document ... you don't realize the game gave an incorrect estimate for how far a unit can move until after it moved, at which point it is too late to take a screenshot of how far it had estimated you could move before you actually moved.

I have seen this as well ... I have only noticed it for road travel, where it over-estimates how far a unit can travel by road, usually by one tile, sometimes by more. It is very frustrating.
