[1.00] [BUG] Can build a logging camp on a snaked-to forest tile in a captured city in FE Support Elemental Forums

I just conquered Havelkar from Magnar, and it had built out to touch forest tiles, enabling me to build a logging camp on a forest tile that was effectively snaked to (its not adjacent to the city square, which is normally a restriction for building a Logging Camp for

Reply to 25 Best Animated Movies in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

I disagree with any such list that doesn't include The Secret of NIMH. The Fox and the Hound were also good ... no love for the 1980s animated movies? I consider them to have been the epitome of animated movies.

WOOHOO! Unfortunately I think I should probably stick with 1.00 until I finish the tutorial I've been recording.

[quote who="starkers" reply="18" id="3267425"]With the cost of HDD's being relatively low these days [like 3TB for $120] I can't understand why anyone would want to store private data on any cloud... then lose control/ownership of it.

[1.00] [Sandbox] [Bug/Hang] Strategic turn end-of-turn processing hang (YouTube video + debug.err) in FE Support Elemental Forums

[video]http://youtu.be/p5UiNIXwy7U[/video] This is a recording of the turn before (Fall season) and the turn of (Winter season) the hang. I attempted to end the Winter season by hitting enter at around 3 minutes, 33 seconds into this clip. I hit 'pause' on the recorder at the end of this clip, hoping the turn might eventually finish processing while sparing the recording from the nothing going on while waiting for that to happen, and I left FE to try to finish proc

Hate to make a hard task even harder, but remember if you manage to hax the .exe to enable LoS in tactical battles ... the AI isn't set up to be able to deal with tactical battle LoS it in their own offense or defense, and it would also need to be worked into Auto-Resolve battles.

Reply to Please change salted pork to salted fish or meat in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I find anti-semitic remarks offensive, which includes hostile "I'm gonna be an ass because I hate you for your beliefs" remarks which I've seen several of in this thread and I'm not a Semite -- in fact, I'm an atheist. However, I do find a demand or insistence that a game meant for everyone should censor itself to fit the tolerances of one group. If pork offends you to the point you cannot even fictionally portray your avatar consuming it, then the answer is simp

Reply to [BUG] Outposts make land fertile in FE Support Stardock Forums

Outposts don't become cities, I can snake buildings to connect to an outpost, but it won't let me snake beyond that -- the city won't allow me to attach buildings to an outpost even if I've snaked my city to get the outpost to get encompassed by my city.

A group of Umberdroths? I'm lucky to find a single one. Being a Beastlord, I prize them greatly. I do hate that the AI disturbs all the lairs with their cities and outposts, but rarely seems to get attacked themselves.

[quote who="NienorNiniel" reply="18" id="3266938"]I have gotten the most mileage out of the various spiders (crowd control). Many beasts are too frail to keep them around for long, though. I liked the cat-like beast which had such a high movement and a poisonbite, that could not be counter-attacked. But durability was on the low side. Slags definitely don't work, I have tried.[/quote] Plague stalkers. There's a non-plague versions of those cat

Microsoft and other publishers have no qualms at all about asserting ownership over your computer's hardware, so its not as though your data is safe on your computer. I'm not sure why so many consider the government as tyrannical but its okay for corporations to own you.

Also, if I could capture one with Tame, what happens to it if I fully defeat the sovereign who summoned it?

[Possible glitch?] Familiars can be Tamed? in FE Support Elemental Forums

I was perusing the CoreMonsterUnitTypes.xml and noticed Familiars are Beast ... yes, they look like a wolf, but it seems odd they'd be categorized as Beast, doesn't that mean they are vulnerable to Tame? If a rival sovereign summoned a Familiar and I Tamed it, would they still have to maintain it with their mana, and would the captured Familiar still have all of their sovereign's spells and abilities?

I tried the auto-advance, but didn't want to auto-resolve it because the battle was so delicate. Already lost a valuable spider, was worried I would also lose my great wolf if I auto-resolved.
