[quote who="Spaceturtle120" reply="95" id="3401976"] When I right click my legendary heroes in steam and go beta tab, there is no option to opt in. Only opt out is listed. How can I get into the beta for this? Oh and do I need to make a new game to get the AI features such as more aggressive at hunting monsters?[/quote] Where it currently says "unreleased" in the original post, it will most likely change to both "released in beta" and

Take a look at this old post of mine: https://forums.elementalgame.com/438100/get;3293180 The basic problem is putting all your heroes in one group. The levels do matter but not nearly as much as just not grouping them all together.

You'll also want to make sure you have "Use Mods" turned on in the menus if you want to use sjaminei's change.

You have turned on "smart colors" or something similar to that. It shows color as it relates to your relationship with them. Make sure that is off and each faction should be its own color.

[quote who="onomastikon" reply="4" id="3399341"]I see people here refering to a "clean install" a couple of times. What exactly does that mean?[/quote] Basically it means going through the install routine. Not restoring from a backup, and not upgrading from a previous version.

[quote who="Blamefulrednas" reply="5" id="3399123"] So why would you want to have cities with 6+ grain then..? (e.g. I now have a city that has 10 grain due to farms and such) [/quote] Faster growth rate for one thing. The more space between current population and maximum population, the faster the growth speed.

Ehh, so these dragons don't fly. I don't see chickens cruising the skies, and they have wings. ;)

Think you are talking about Tuatha I believe. Not super rare or anything, I've seem him more than a couple times, think I've only chosen him twice though.

[quote who="joeball123" reply="35" id="3394422"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 33I said if the total exp for the fight was 8, and 2 champions got 4 each, then the troops got 4 each. And yet, this is incorrect. Trained units get half of whatever the base value of the experience awarded to champions is, not half of the experience value of the fight. Otherwise, with three or more champions, your trained troops would be levelling faster than the champions, but this does not happ

[quote who="smeagolheart" reply="32" id="3394352"] When I get home I'll take some screenshots to settle this once and for all of a battle with two troops and one or two heroes if someone doesn't beat me to it first.[/quote] FYI, there are also modifiers to the total exp in regards to army strength. So with one hero you MAY get a higher total exp before anyone gets any exp. Or maybe not, one hero may not be enough to make that difference.

[quote who="davrovana" reply="31" id="3394313"] Quoting Leo in WI, reply 30 The trained troops get the same as any heroes. If the total was 8, and the heroes got 4 each, then every troop gets 4. Um, 4 is half of 8, not the same as 8. If just your sov is in battle, he gets 8 and the trained troops get 4. Trained troops get 50% of the xp a hero gets (before splitting between multiple heroes), but do not split further with other trained troops. Pretty sure the .

[quote who="joeball123" reply="26" id="3393948"]Quoting smeagolheart, reply 25 I *believe* troops (meh) get full XP. So Champion X and Sovereign Y get 4 xp each and Axemaster and Archer would get 8 xp each from your example. This is incorrect. If the champions of the army get 4 experience each, the trained troops only gain 2 experience each, before modifiers come into play.[/quote] This is incorrect. The trained troops get the same as any heroes. If the total was

The problem is within the save game itself. During save, the xml for the game is saved into the save game. Basically once corrupted, that file is always corrupted. This method is what lets you finish older games even after patches. All the xml the save game needs is already in its file, the only way to use new xml is to start a new game. There is no validation/fixing of save games. Validation only checks the game files themselves, which a save game no longer needs. To c

[quote who="chow_13" reply="3" id="3391403"] You can also Hold down and select each unit you want. then move them as the group.[/quote] This is by far the best method, as you leave the city in the exact square you want.

You defintely will NOT be missing out on anything. There are not multiple versions of the game, just multiple methods to purchase it. Oh and also, Stardock is the distributor as well as developer, and also are not part of Valve. Stardock just uses Steam, similar to how Firaxis with Civilization V uses Steam. What will happen upon purchasing is you will receive a code to plug into steam, this code will add FE:LH to your library, and from then on, it will be just as if yo

Cloud sync off helps, I'd also recommend auto-turn off if you are still using that.

In steam settings, under the "Interface" tab, there is a box for "Run Steam when my computer starts", so it is pretty easy to not have steam start up every time.

City Zone of Control definitely will flip outposts, although I'd agree that special code should be put in place that if they occupy that tile, control should be held as long as you stay put.

[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="4" id="3388106"] If you don't see at least one really good expansion nearby -- a spot with two essence (or two decent spots - 3-4-1, 5-2-1) -- quit to the menu and start a new game.[/quote] I'd only advise this while new to the game. Once you get better, starting with crappy spots is kind of fun, at least more challenging.

Exciting news, congrats on the purchase!

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="111" id="3383208"]Not to mention the AI has a priority of 0 to create Arcane Monoliths.[/quote] Never realized that, that certainly needs to be improved upon.

[quote who="Nakisisa" reply="110" id="3383177"]Except that Arcane Monoliths look different from outposts.[/quote] True!

Pariden having outposts may not mean pioneers. Don't forget they have the spell "Arcane Monolith"

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="6" id="3382437"] I bought FE from stardock, then upgraded via steam. That shouldn't matter if they do their job right....[/quote] I'm not sure I follow you, you can download and install from stardock.com whenever you want. How did they not do their job right? Even if you got them both from Steam, there is no "upgrade", they are completely separate installs, whether you got both from Steam, or one from Steam and one from Stardock. If y

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="4" id="3382425"] Hmm.. I can't see the old FE vanilla stuff in steam anymore. If that is true it's a mistake by Stardock and should be fixed eventually. It makes no sense just offering just the new scenario. I could swear I had the old FE somewhere before....[/quote] Unless you specifically bought FE from Steam it wouldn't have appeared there. They didn't give out Steam codes to the people who got FE for free via the purchase of E:WoM
