[quote who="Foxd1e" reply="24" id="3337836"]I thought that might be the case as well but I tried exactly that and it still sets it to the default bio, so I'm just gonna hold off on penning wonderful descriptive biographies until Stardock takes a look at it.[/quote] Have you checked the character details? From what I can tell, in FE, custom descriptions show up in the details once you start to play, but not in the opening narration. It probably works the same in LH.

Have you been disbanding troops? That is usually the cause for this, if money is not the issue. In earlier beta versions of FE, troops cost population. If you then disbanded a unit, the number of man within it got added to the nearest city as population. The devs later removed this, but in some cases it still happens. Mostly for mercenaries, darklings and other recruitables.

[quote who="EddyGamerLP" reply="5" id="3335469"]Good to know, thanks.[/quote] You're welcome. Just take note, that the changelog no longer mentions the change to the Pioneer-cost. The devs must have listened to the concerns of the players in that thread. Regarding the new episode, you forgot to cast an enchantment on your new city. The 3/3/3 spot would have been a better place to settle, in my opinion, although a lot more dangerous due to the dragon. Too bad, that it is no

I haven't seen that many Clay Pits on a map since my first FE 1.0 game. [e digicons]:omg:[/e] Hmm, I'm not sure, if it was a good idea to build the Workshop first in your second city. It only provides 3 more production and that is still subject to unrest. Building the Bell Tower first would have probably provided a bigger boost to production by reducing the unrest from 29% to 19%. Still, it doesn't really matter, unless you play on ridiculous or insane. According

Nice progress! I think it would have been better, if you had attacked the riders directly, instead of fortifying first, in your battle against the main army of the Darklings. They were swarming you, getting a bonus to their attack and accuracy against your troops. Your units should have been strong enough to kill them with one hit. You could have also used Shield Bash on several occasions to prevent the enemy from getting the swarm-bonus. Just something to consider for the next time.<

[quote who="Raptarius" reply="4" id="3334300"] Probably because Steam reaches a huge audience that no other platform comes near to, makes perfect business sense to put it on there.[/quote] Putting LH on Steam? Yes. Making Steam mandatory to play LH, no matter where it was bought? NO!

[quote who="FroBodine" reply="11" id="3333744"]Do you have phone service?[/quote] Yes, but only because it is included with my Internet-flatrate. I use it maybe once a month. If that.

Same here. I'm really grateful for getting LH for free, even though I'm not going to play it due to Steam. All the comments and Let's Plays show, that I'm missing out on a great game, but that is what's happening, if you have principles, you're not willing to abandon. In any case, I wish LH gets the recognition and success it deserves.

Good Let's Play. Thanks, for making it.

As always, a very good Let's Play. Thanks, for making it. Really shows what I'm missing out on for not wanting to accept Steam.

[quote who="Markon" reply="6" id="3333070"]I'm still curious, by end game, with the revive the land spell, could I have brought those locations back to life, and resettled them?[/quote] I'm not sure about this. Settling a city changes the regular terrain (plains, forest, etc.) to city terrain, which prevents tile yields from appearing (it is effectively barren terrain). Using Raise and Lower Land is supposedly able to change the city terrain back to regular terrain, so revivin

According to Derek , they still split XP.

You always get 1 XP per turn.

[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="1" id="3332804"]BTW, there is supposed to be no penalty for having more hero units in same party in LH[/quote] According to Derek , they changed it back.

[quote who="sirartis" reply="53" id="3332648"]- and still no multiplayer... ?[/quote] From Frogboy : "There won’t be any MP in any of the Elemental games until we can hire at least 1 more network developers. We want MP. I agree with the arguments for it. I think LH in particular lends itself to it. But I have to have coders who can do it."

[quote who="thadianaphena" reply="10" id="3332713"]This is where my confusion comes from. I am not sure how to set my Stardock FE and Map Pack to "work" with LH from Steam.[/quote] LH is a standalone expansion. You don't need FE to play it. Regarding the map pack, Derek said: "We haven't released the mappack for LH yet. When we do you will be receiving it for free if you own the mappack f

[quote who="Hadberz" reply="28" id="3332560"]I recommend you give Steam another go. They constantly update the client. I been running the beta version for months now with zero issues.[/quote] Well, the client is only part of my issues with Steam (although the most frustrating one). The biggest issue is the EULA, along with a couple other things. Some of it can be circumvented by just not buying any more games from Steam, just using it for the games I already have there, but a lot of i

[quote who="Diarch" reply="3" id="3332392"]Is the Wildland supposed to respawn arable tiles when you clear it? Or just one tile? Not sure how this works.

Those changes sound great! However, I have one question: Will it be possible to play LH without having to run Steam? If yes, I may actually try it out despite my misgivings for Steam (tried it before, didn't like it at all).

You need to settle a city within Imperium to finish the quest. If there is no settleable spot, then there are probably cities too close to the wildland. I don't remember the name of the spell, and can't check the files right now, because my gaming-PC just died (thanks a lot, Starcraft 2), but I know, that it is a Strategic one that allows you to sacrifice city-population to increase the health of the caster (but he can no longer heal naturally).
