Just a couple of thoughts on LH beta after a couple of games played: - I like the new champion leveling system but the fact that champions level so slow defeats the purpose of the new system. It killed the fun for me. Splitting experience between champions needs to be abolished in order to make leveling faster and the game more fun in this respect. By the way I love the fact that you've made the summoning options for champions more interesting. I was never able to select ski

[quote who="Dhuran" reply="17" id="3334404"] 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 short, it's usually a no-brainer

My enemy has cast grip of winter on me and I have no idea how to get out of/dispell it. Anybody know. Thx for any replies :)

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="6" id="3179133"]I think that Corruption is the real unbalanced thing. [/quote] Yes I agree here 100%. To be able to convert any shard you like to death shards is the problem. You can't do that with any other shard. I have been able to take out a world boss (I think the swamp guy), with a level 12 hero by himself in three turns (or maybe four), simply by casting dirge. I had 13 or 14 death shards when I did this. Corruption should pr

Actually instead of nerfing speed boosting buffs I would prefer more speed lowering spells. Taking WOW as inspiration, you could use the water line to introduce all kinds of freezing spells that slow down enemy units, or give you a % chance to slow down enemies. You could have spells in the earth line that throw up rock walls on the battlefield and you could put lightnig spells in the air line that stun opponents for a turn or two. Stuff like that. +1 for bigger tactical maps (unless

Hola all. A quick comment/idea about champions and gaining spell levels. I find that having all champions with the same level of spell school ability, all having the exact same spells is kinda dull. What would make things much more interesting would be if, when a champion gains a spell level, you had him choose which spells he would learn. For example, when a champion gains a level and chooses level 3 fire, he would then be given a choice of four spells from which he would ha

Hola all. I started my first game at .915 and a ways in i realized all the producition in my city had stopped and I couldn't figure out why (taxes were at none). I finally noticed that someone (resoln I think) had cast antipathy on my city nine times. The only thing is, I hadn't made contact with any AI players yet. How can they start casting on my cities if we haven't discovered each other? I'm guesssing (hopeing) this is a bug. HAve a good day all :)

I don't really care about multiplayer over the internet but I would love to be able to have more than just one faction as human controlled in the startup so that I could play two or more factions in the same game. It would also allow hotseat games.

[quote who="Ausland" reply="136" id="3147899"]Quoting TorontoRock, reply Hmm, didn't know you could do this, but it sounds like a bug. I don't think it should be allowed on summons?[/quote] I think the fact that you can summon both strategically AND tactically is overpowered. You effectively get two tactical battle units for every new summon creature spell you get. This can make the early game especially easy (assumeing you have enough mana t

I've just returned to elemental after playing Wom for a couple of weeks then uninstalling it. I've been curious about the direction FE has taken so I decided to try out the beta to see how I liked it. I started with beta three and have played a bit with .913. I've only had time to play a couple of quick games with .913 so far but here is my feedback for what it's worth. 1) Monsters felt about right to me. There were weak ones in the immediate vicinity of my start

Any chance of getting a cloth map version of tactical battles put in? It would help out those people who have some issues with the 3-D version and do away with those ridiculously slow combat animations.

After alot of trying, I have finally been able to disembark units from transports. Park the ship next to a beach tile, left click on the unit on the ship to select and then Right click on the beach tile to unload. The problem is that you only seem to be able to do this one unit at a time and when you disembark one unit it switches to its info so you always have to go back and re-select the boat to disembark the next unit. Pain in the ass when you have a boatload of units [e digicons]>:([/e]</

[quote who="MOIISKA" reply="9" id="2764550"]Yup, tried again and it doesn't let me cast the spell. I have the brownish square where I want to target. I can raise and lower and create a mountain, but not blistering sands. [/quote] I have no idea why that doesn't work for you[e digicons]:([/e] If you can cast the greater raise mountain spell though just cast that in a forest square and then cast lower

I just found out in one of my games that blistering sands will clear forest (and leave a desert tile) as will casting greater raise land and then lower land (this will leave a clear tile). The former also costs 2 or 3 less mana.

[quote who="MOIISKA" reply="4" id="2764065"]I tried blistering sands in the past and it didn't let me do it. I'll try again. [/quote] Did you try again and did it work? [quote who="Island Dog" reply="3" id="2764051"]Thanks for sharing the tip. [/quote] No worries [e digicons]:)[/e]

Hey I didn`t realise until the other day that I could clear forests in this game. There are two ways. Casting blistering sands on a forest tile will do it or cast greater raise land followed by lower land (uses less mana overall). Just a FYI if ya didn`t know :)

Some thoughts about the game after playing 10 games or so the last two weeks. I'll try not to mention things that have already been mentioned alot on these forums (lack of diversity in spells/factions/units, AI to easy ect.) - Would like to be able to re-marry if my spouse dies and we haven't had children yet. In one game my wife was killed when some mob I didn't notice attacked the city she was parked in. After that the whole dynasty thing was useless to me. I under

The biggest killer about this game for me personally is the lack of diversity in the factions, units, races ect. I know that this has been mentioned often in the forums but this is one of the biggest issues for me so I wanted to mention it again. How about allowing units to train special abilities. This could have a few positive effects. First of all you could finally get some real choice when you decide to design a unit instead of simply putting on the bes

[quote who="JamesMoriarty123" reply="3" id="2757040"]Am I alone is thinking this game would have been better if they just blatantly ripped the best parts out of Gal Civ / Age of Wonders / MoM / Master of Orion and just compiled it and streamlined it into the new engine? I for one, would have been a happier bunny. [/quote] I couldn't agree more. I always thought that to make a great game, you take the best parts/ideas from other great games, add

Took me awhile to figure this out myself. Like slider said, you have to find a land "low point", move your transport next to it, select the troop in the boat and then right click to the land square you want to unload at. The trick is trying to identify "low points" on the cloth map (since the 3D map for me is so slow I'm afraid to go to that view in fear of a freeze or crash hehe).

Yeah I played around with it again and I think you're right.

I just noticed while playing that every time I try and Imbue a champion with essence more than twice, the game crashes. Anyone else having this issue. Just wondering.

Just wanted to mention something quickly. When I first downloaded the game I couldn't even play because the game kept on freezeing on me after a few minutes no matter what I was doing (sandbox, campaign, or editors). After the last couple of patches, I have finally been able to play without freezes. Last night I played for hours without crashes. It was one of those sessions where you just keep taking another turn and before you know it it's 5AM. While there are still issues, I am now

Yeah i much prefer hexes myself. Would be nice if they were used for tactical battles at least a la King's bounty.

Just wondering if someone who is a bit computer savvy (which I am not unfortunately) could point me in the right direction. The game freezes on me after a few minutes making it unplayable. Sent in the debug report and Brad said if I update my drivers I'd probably be ok. Like I said though I'm pretty computer un-savvy (don't really even know what a driver is hehe). I was wondering if there is anyone with the same comp as me that could tell me what the latest/best? driver is and where I can gra
