An alternative could be to be able to hit a unit one tile away with the spear, but that would have to be evry turn, not just every 5th turn. Anyways, I like the current mechanic too. As people say her it has added alot to tactical battle.
[quote who="TorontoRock" reply="64" id="3334753"] Quoting Dhuran, reply 17 I rarely use them for the following reasons: - Since they use the same queue as a city, I usually end up building stuff in the city instead since they impact the game more. - It's hard to justify diverting resources (by that I mean building those instead of city upgrades) on something that is inherently more vulnerable than a city. In
[quote who="NanakoAC" reply="17" id="3335660"] ok so, same problem as before. administrative heroes are still useless, basically. we need heroes to be able to gain some administratively related xp while governing a city. The exact numbers can be tweaked so that it's generally weaker than adventuring, but the concept has to be there[/quote] I don't find it a problem that a hero class is rather specialist and more seldom chosen. Neither I see it as a probl
I like the trade-off that Governors need to get out off the cities to fight now and then to get experience, and not just stay safe in the city and get loads of exp (while living their decadent city lifes). You just need an army to fight for him, and to pick the targets carefully. For instance will long ranged opponents be spooky. Also give him some fighting abilities so he can survive abit in combat if cities are attacked or when you go out in the field with him.
[quote who="OliverFA_306" reply="3" id="3334600"] I prefer small incremental upgrades because it's more entertaining. Usually levelling up is a "wow!" moment. If the abilities effect are small, then we can have more level ups. Also, there are several threads saying that heroes are weaker compared to trained units. If heroes level up more often that would keep them balanced with trained units.[/quote] + It's all about those small level ups

[quote who="OliverFA_306" reply="45" id="3334574"] I use them a lot. But perhaps it's because I like to play with Procipinee. In fact I do exactly the same as Draxim said: Quoting Darxim, reply 34 I use most of the upgrades. Outposts can be strategically placed for high benefit. Superhighway - Place them between cities and build High Tower and Stables. You will get your units to where you need them the most much faster, thereby al
Wolves are more dangerous now, I can't see anything wrong with that.
Some people live to whine and complain. Why be angry because Stardock still invest in making new and better versions of the game we love? Would the OP feel better about it if they dropped making expansion packs, and halted the development of this game? I want them to make as many expansions as possible for this game, and guess what, development cost time and money. And to answer OP's question: You should buy it because you'll love it and because you de
I actually think the placements now, smaller battle maps with more choke points, and the swarm mechanic all makes for alot better battles where you actually risk to lose troops. Never happened to me before.
Thank you very much Stardock. You're almost too kind. Please charge me for the next expension. ;) ..And thank you once more for the development of Fallen Enchantress. The game really is a gem, and now it's potential really starts to be fully exploited. Wishes for the future to further build on the potential of this game: Naval features (sea quests, naval warfare, naval yards, naval techs, naval hero traits, naval units etc.) and multiplayer. :D
[quote who="ulysses_31" reply="40" id="3334515"] Quoting Wizard1200, reply 38 I do not use Outposts, because it is to easy to capture and raze them. Why build an outpost when you could be building a city for the same cost ? Wait for the AI to build them and either flip them with your snaking cities or capture them...[/quote] We don't all play with snaking cities. As your post tells; it's rather gamey. I agree outpost
Would be cool if they could act as fortresses as well, so you could garnisson troops there. I like the current upgrades, but they could've been extended upon with walls upgrades (defense bonuses for the garnisson) etc.
Playing now. Feels good! :)
[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="2" id="3331450"] I really haven't used any mods in Civ 5 yet, I really like the base game as is. Haven't really played any MP either because I don't know anyone else that plays, and trying to join public games is a pain in the ass.[/quote] Hi lad.

How do I do this? I found my code on my Stardock account, but at Steam under Fallen Enchantress, downloads and beta it says nothing is to be downloaded. Edit: OK, I've found out what to do..... ;) 4MB/s

Shadows is cool when you have a good system. Estetics have its value. :) I'm also glad the Frog now see the value of MP in turn based strategy. Hopefully we can get that coder hired. This game would be in the Civilization IV-V league when it comes to multiplayer fun. I'd play the hell out of it, and it would reach those 1000's upon 1000's of hours I've spent on Civilization and Europa Universalis MP. [e digicons]:beer:[/e]  
Snaking has little or nothing to do with strategy and hard choices. I always play auto-placement of buildings, so the choices where to found my cities gets harder (drawback/benefit) and so that I'm not getting any gamey advantages over the AI. Game is better this way.
[quote who="OliverFA_306" reply="3" id="3324788"] Would be nice to have multiplayer, but if the price to pay for it is a less immersive over simplified SP experience, I am more than happy to sacrify MP. Besides, there are plenty of MP games out there nowadays, and in some of them the requirement to be MP-compliant greatly spoils the SP part.[/quote] You don't need to nerf the game for MP. That's a pretty hard lived myth. Look at games like
Spears and lances should be a great mounted unit killer, both on the offense and defense. I also like the malus suggiestions for city battles. But still something should be done to mounted archers as well. I think they should be really expensive due to how long time it takes to train a good mounted archer in real life (and due to overpowerfull they are in the game at the moment). Alternatively the archers range and damage/hit rate efficiency could be reduced whe
Hmmm, with those priorities that other project has to be GalCiv3. The first GalCiv with MP. Would be awesome. Well, hope you'll find some good network engineers Frog. FE would be perfect fun in MP, for us who play grand strategy MP.
Loved the first part of your post Diarch. What a lyrical way to describe why this game is so special and great. This game really deserves to be mentioned among those great classics. In fact it's the kind of fantasy grand strategy I have been dreaming of for a long time now. The part with finding the population costs of pioneers worrisome I couldn't agree on. I agree Civ3 non-producing cities far away due to corruption and nothing you could do about it was slightl
