Reply to [BUG][1.0] If you get research bonus with no research... in FE Support Elemental Forums

Strange. I have not been able to confirm this, as I have not yet gotten a research hut in a game before starting research (still on my first game). However, carryover is working as it had been in Beta -- if a research goodie hut finishes my current research project, there is a research bonus push that I presume to be the correct carryover amount applied to the next research project, even if the current research project is the end of my queue and I have to specify another research

[1.0] [Unit Design] [Undeclared changelog item?] Allowable accessories back to 3? in FE Support Elemental Forums

IIRC, in a recent beta patch, the number of allowable accessories when designing new units was increased from 3 to 4, but attempting to design units in the 1.0 release, it is only allowing 3 again. I do not remember this being mentioned in the release notes ... was it intentionally reduced back to 3 from 4?

I'm not sure that qualifies as goth ... generally when someone is described as 'goth,' they have pale skin in sharp contrast with deeply blackened hair and/or clothing. Almost-black on darker-black is just plain unreadable to me, heh.

[1.0] [Unit Design] Armor Categorization Redundancy in FE Support Elemental Forums

As can be seen from this screenshot, there are two identically-named "Breastplate" armor categories. They should either be consolidated into one, or one should be renamed to differentiate it from the other. This is from the campaign scenario, I do not know if the regular game also has it (I am

[1.0] [Campaign] [Grammar] Taevish's Elixir - Completion dialog in FE Support Elemental Forums

The first en-dash in the second paragraph should be an em-dash (either a double-length dash or, if there is no convenient way to use a special character such as an em-dash, a double dash [--] can suffice), while the second should be replaced with a colon [ He hands you armor: two bracers, metal cuffs worn on

Reply to [1.0] [Campaign] [Quest Completion Bug?] Taevish's Elixir in FE Support Elemental Forums

I presume the "Warg Meat" = "Warg Flesh" = "Warg Carcass" for the quest? I think there could be more exacting and consistent specificity to clear up the text between the mouseover description, to make it clear "Warg Pelts" do not satisfy the quest.

[1.0] [Campaign] [Quest Completion Bug?] Taevish's Elixir in FE Support Elemental Forums

There's a bit of inconsistency I have found seeking the ingredients for Taevish's Elixir, as illustrated in the following images of the Quest mouseover, item inventory, and attempting to return to the campsite to complete the quest: <img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss262/Chibiabos/Misc%20p

Reply to The First Review is in: 87! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

87 is a very respectable score. I think a perfect score of 100 should be very difficult to achieve. I think Civ V scored way too high at launch at a number of sites ... personally, I do not think it was that much better than the disastrous E:WoM, certainly not sufficiently better to warrant the gleaming points disparity between Civ V and War of Magic on, say, gamespot.

Reply to I am planning on buying this game if someone on here can just answer one simple question. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I truly don't understand why G&K is being praised and the vanilla version ignored -- if the vanilla version still falls short of what was promised or expected, and G&K fixes it, that essentially makes G&K a premium patch of vanilla, doesn't it? Vanilla seems to have been abandoned. :/ Mods made it a bit more playable, but even with them, it still had problems the last time I played it. I do not get the mentality of so gamers that the solution to a broken

[1.0] [Grammar] Scenario - Duggam's Quest - Initial dialog in FE Support Elemental Forums

I've gritted and bared it through a number of grammatical faux pas, but like nails on a chalkboard, eventually I have enough, so I will do my best to document each one from here on out. In the Scenario, the "Duggam's Quest" initiation dialog, there are a number of grammatical errors and weaknesses: <img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss262/Chibiabos/Misc%20photos/Screenshots/FallenEnchantress-100-Grammar-DuggamsQuest1.png" alt=""

Reply to [1.0] Is this working as intended - Can't snake improvements to rivers? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I do find it kinda silly. Wish you could, if not snake, at least be able to build the terrain-specific buildings such as logging camps for forests and harbors for rivers the way you build the special resource improvements. Seems silly that you can build to a forest, but if you don't start your city immediately next to one, you can't build a logging camp ... how is it really even a camp, then? A camp is a base of operations, like a temporary nomadic village, but since

Reply to I purchased the First Game, now what? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

It seems there are several users who bought WoM, abandoned it, remember the promise and are confused as to where to go to cash in the promised credit for Enchantress. Maybe there should be a stickied post, or even a link directly on the main page along the lines of "If you purchased Elemental: War of Magic, click here..."

Reply to Initiative- how does it REALLY work? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Yes, I noticed that if I cast Haste later during a tactical battle, its as though its retro-active from the beginning and gives the unit several turns in a row instantly to 'catch up' to how many turns it would have had, if it had them from the getgo.

Anymore, I only do download. I've had to move so many times, I've lost several discs over the years, and a few years ago I had a rash of DVD drive failures anyway, plus I hate how slow it takes to read from a disc, and hate even more having to dig through my bachelor pad of a room to find a CD to play a game I've already installed, heh.

Reply to Dear stardock. Y U NO DEMO! in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Yes, a lot of things have been changed for the better, but the most basic of mechanics are similar to WoM in terms of its a world in anarchy and filled with monsters, you start out very weak and will have to contend with and survive powerful beasts until you have build your kingdom/empire powerful enough to deal with them and then possibly challenge a rival kingdom/empire. You can probably get WoM on teh cheap somewhere.

Reply to [.992] Effing bug which has been around since the beginning of time. in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

There is definitely some sort of corruption problem. I am a wussy player, I do tend to reload a lot if something doesn't go my way, sometimes if its early on I'll just start a new game, but do this a few times and the game will corrupt ... my sovereign will literally lose her head, the CGI model for her will have no head along with other units being headless, and the "can't move after combat despite having movement points left" bug seems to be more frequent unless I complete

Reply to [.983][Bug] Enemy HP bar doesn't update when using Crushing Blow on them in FE Support Elemental Forums

I've encountered the not-updating health bar with a lot of different attacks, skills and spells. My poisoned units, for instance, still showed as a nearly full health bar and with 3 units (I think it was one of those 3-stacks of wolves I had tamed), even though it was at around 3 HP / 12 gradually falling from poison.
