Frogboy, Will you also be fixing the AI's ability to walk past strong, fearsome beasts without penalty? It is really irritating to have the other factions throw outposts up all over the place and i can't get my troops past a river slag or a troll shaman even if I go two spaces around. Thanks for fixing the unguarded goodie huts, it would be great if defeated enemy heroes dropped one piece of loot everytime they were teleported back to a city after I de

Reply to [.86][Feedback] Faction Difference in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Great post, Seanw3. You hit on some great ideas. Even letting us choose 3 random techs at the beginning during game set-up would help spice things up. More techs, spells and heroes buried in quests would really go a long way to making each play-through unique. Really like the idea of faction specific quests/spells and items as suggested by DevildogFF. I want more of everything in FE!

I concur with the early ranged units, whether they be archers or slingers. The whole weapon research thing is kind of lame, would be better to focus on the quality of the weapons for tech level rather than type. Bronze giving way to iron etc.... Larger cities should house ballistae that rain death down or vats of oil... oh wait, walls don't mean a %&$#@ thing in tactical right now... Sigh. Still, ballistae or catapults could show up at the rear of you

I never realized that Gentle Rain is a multi-school spell! Guess I should read the description more carefully. Definitely agree with the path of the mage limitation.

Agreed, one of the funnest parts of MOM was the ability to capture a city and gain access to War Trolls or Slingers or Griffon Riders. Need neat units for each faction!

See, I was hoping for some spells to actually RELY on multiple schools and/or shards of magic. I thought it could serve as a counter-balance to those one school know-it-alls: Entangling Forest (Life/Earth) Strategic: Defend your territory with thick murky forests that slow enemy movement to 1 sq/turn. The number of earth and life shards determine how big your forest is. Poison Cloud (Death/Water) Tactical: An 8x8 grid of the battlefield is enveloped in a nois

Reply to [.86 Suggestion] Limit the number of distinct armies per tile to one. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree that it is annoying... especially if you kill one army and the second is sort of there invisibly lurking until the graphics refresh next turn AFTER your army is several tiles away dealing with another threat. Would it be hard for them to have all of the adjacent tile armies get sent to the tactical map ala AOW:SM? That would really be fun and eliminate this stacked army nonsense.

Reply to Suggestion for Upgrading Unit Sizes. in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree with Steven's idea (come to think of it, I've said that several times before[e digicons]:)[/e] ) It would be great if these highly experienced units gained a special ability or two during the course of their service. I would love to see elite units at least gain the ability to counterattack or fortify a square or charge or something, anything to spice up the battlefield: Elite archers who can "hide" in a clump of trees.

Tactical is improving, new maps are great. Some tile bonuses and line of sight stuff would be even funner... I would like to see ordinary units gain some special attacks or defenses or just a better critical hit function either as a reward for a great victory or after a certain experience level is reached. These could be faction or kingdom/empire specific and would make tactical more interesting if the spearmen in front of you suddenly set their spears for y

Some monsters should have an aura of fear that invokes a saving throw mechanic vs. the units or hero's intelligence stat. Resist or cower in fear or retreat two spaces (vary it for fun). I like the idea of being able to craft rings of courage for troops or finding a magic item that grants immunity to a hero. it would also make the courage spell more useful... Monsters need manticore spikes, entangling attacks, bear hugs, mind control and other fun special attac
