My point wasn't that the AI is incompetent just that it's ability to play the game would improve to compensate for losing the advantages it gets from bugs in 1.02. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="7" id="3289575"]significant improvements in the AI for v1.1[/quote] That's what I want to hear! [e digicons]:digichet:[/e]
In my games, the AI loves catapults. Thanks to the research bug it gets them ridiculously early. Of course it has not idea how to use them properly (fun thing I did a couple games ago, was take a high defense golem and walk it over to whack the catapult. the AI would surround the golem, and then the catapult would obliterate the AI's units. works every time.) But there are no high level units because the AI doesn't know how to make units for itself and
hooray stamps! would've liked more creatures and monsters in the DLC, but I'll take stamps. and besides, you guys gave me FE for free!
The FE DLC page asked me to login, but that doesn't do anything. You have to log in on the stardock store page to get it to recognize you.
fire shrills are total dicks! no christmas cards for them either! [e digicons]XD[/e]
Hopefully, alongside the fixes for these bugs 1.1 will also introduce a more competent AI.
on the other hand, before you get archers their static blast makes them really annoying.
I don't really think this is really an issue anymore, in the sense that I don't think it impedes enjoyment of the game as much as some of the bigger bugs (like instant-build on load and AI tech-trading). There's a lot of info in FE and a lot going on, it can be overwhelming, but it's much better than when this post was written. For one thing, city specialization between Cities/Conclave/Fortress is a new mechanic and directly addresses this criticism. Since
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="25" id="3289179"] It has been tracked down and fixed. The fix will be be in patch 1.1. [/quote] Yay! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] And there was much rejoicing!
something wrong with the way the code interprets multiple quotes from the same post. If you edit your post and take out the details on the 2nd/3rd... quotes (so the bbcode should just be (quote)...(/quote) -- use brackets instead of parens ) it should work.
[quote who="rlane48" reply="14" id="3287665"]Does it make a difference what kind of save you are loading from?[/quote] Nobody knows. I am just trying to get as much info out there about this bug as possible. I am pretty sure I had this problem loading from a Quicksave and a manual saves. It occurs to me that Autosaves might be safe because they're made before your turn starts. Though it probably doesn't matter at all. You have mods enabl
[quote who="Piglet007" reply="3" id="3287631"] Oh yeah. Believe me I seriously considered that. However, I was already at like turn 300+ and winning handily. It just seemed such a waste to restart. Plus I had already had the "Syndicate Responds" world event and wasted like 30 turns running my armies around my territory killing those yoyos so I guess I was kind of invested in the game at that point.

there's a research option in the Magic tree that gives you "Dispel Enchantment" (not sure the name, but I think it's at the same level as Heroes). Cast that on your cursed city.
I think the initiative bar on the left side of the screen is partly responsible for the vagueness of our understanding of initiative (though, once again, Tuidjy has deduced a reasonable theory) Every time I go into a tactical battle, I think, there has got to be a better way to display the information of the order of turns. Also, every other battle the information there is misleading or flat out wrong. One simple thing I think they could do is notify the player when the
[quote who="rlane48" reply="17" id="3287626"] Quoting Mmrnmhrm, reply 5 But saying it's ruining Stardock's credibility or that FE is stumbling on it sounds like something out of Star Trek conventions... I disagree. I feel the same as the OP -- this is a bug that has long-since been identified and needs to be fixed. The AI getting 110 turns of free production is the kind of thing that should be addressed promptly.[/quote] I think the point is t
@ rlane48 LOL! Holy crap! That's turn 200? [e digicons]:O[/e] You are screwed! [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] I have never seen numbers like that. But I have never played a game with 16+ opponents. Even then I am not sure

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="5" id="3287310"] You've always been pretty wise for a sweatyboatman so riddle me this... if Kraxis can never cast this spell in a standard game, why is it in the game? If it was only meant to be achievable by custom factions, then why not just let it be from some mod instead of the standard game? [/quote] I don't know about wise [e digicons]:blush:[/e] ... Just to clarify, by "less than once per game" I meant on aver
For a spell that allows you to take possession of any opponent's city with zero effort, I think it's priced pretty fairly. Less than once per game sounds about right.
[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="106" id="3287223"]There is no argument that, on higher difficulty levels, the monsters target the player to the exclusion of AI. This is well known, working as designed, and the majority of players is A-OK with it.[/quote] It's hard to argue with Tuidjy.

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="98" id="3287104"]Yes, but you won't find anybody above answering my repeated question, "What level difficulty were you playing at?" The point that the game is skewed in favor of AI opponents at higher levels, a standard condition in many strategy games, seems to have escaped them.[/quote] If anything, maybe there's something wrong in the way it nerfs the monster AI that's causing the game to become harder at easier levels.
