No, the shogun2 literally spawned armies as you explored. Google it. =)
We can't alter tactical maps yet because they've locked the workshop. But they were moddable in E:wom and I would bet my left ball that they will be in FE as well. I'm making the assumption that we can make them larger because a lot of space in tactical maps currently are just background environment. We should be able to build on those tiles.
I've tried to look for a way to increase how many units can participate in tactical combat, but I think it could be hardcoded to 9 unfortunately. 1. Yes, we can do that. 2. Yes, we can do that. (if by stack you mean how many members are in a unit, ie 3-5-7-9, those numbers can be increased) 3. Yes, we can do that. But it won't be using the caravan tags, it will be done using the unitlimit stuff for recruits from monster world resources. 4. Maybe. We can
[quote who="2of3" reply="3" id="3081351"]The PC is a dying market. Mobile (hand held) computing is the future.[/quote] More pcs were sold in 2011 than in any previous year. Hard evidence suggests that the PC is not a dying market, it is merely not the quickest growing one any more. I envision a future where many formats exist, and the PC will be one of them, but it will not be the largest.
Summon Hero is too powerful with immortal champions, imho (unless it has some ridiculous requirement that isn't mana). Alter shard I support, but it must cost a lot of mana, and the AI would have to understand it perfectly.
You can't give traits, but you can give spell unlocks, and you can give them hidden unitstats. Why is hidden unitstats important? Because you can allow someone to gain traits noone else can at level-up. So, for example, you could in your spell put "UnitStat_IsVampie" +1, then prereq that unitstat in the trait so it will only be available to those who have that unitstat at level-up. It's not perfect, but it will allow your champions to embark on a series of traits noone else has access
I don't know.
HNGH! That's not an acronym, that's just the sound I made when I read this.
Similarly, I snake cities towards river and forest tiles. Also, any world resource nearby - if it is encompassed by your city walls, enemies can't sack it without attacking your city.

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="21" id="3082110"] Indeed, the game severely needs pirates - and zombies, robots and ninjae. These are the scientifically proven components of every successful game.[/quote] The lack of dinosaurs in your comment is appalling. Absolutely appalling.
Agreed. You can go for a sovereign with all the spell schools if you want to. Taking only fire is a calculated risk you decide upon.
I wish I could help out with more head models for what looks to be a great mod. Unfortunately, the head model includes the eyes, and I have so far failed to load the internal .dll stardock sent us which enables making such things.
LOL when did that become a thing? Make it yourself!
[quote who="seanw3" reply="1" id="3081630"]I would speculate that there are so many fixes and advancements being made, it would be a delay to make another public beta. Since they already know what needs to be worked on, we are not needed. [/quote] This is definitely the reason, imho.
There are really two sets of randomness going on. First, you have the random pool inside every goodiehut, for example it can choose between 5 items or a super-random item. The super-random item chooses from the larger pool that has practically all items and armorpieces. But when you're looting low-level goodiehuts, you're much more likely to not get a super-random item. The compass is a perfect example of an item that is very frequent outside the super-random pool.
No, not in the current beta of the game.
It's lore in a graphical format. Just as important as gameplay for a fantasy game.
If the mana cost is right, terraforming is the sort of spell that the game SHOULD have, in my opinion. A set of spells that interacts with some mechanic in the game, but is different from other spells. But that requires the AI to understand and use it as well.
I see two main reasons not to do this for a beta to the detail you enquire about. First, I just plain rather have them working on the game than writing long lists. Second, when people read the changes they will try to predict how it will impact the game without actually playing the game. That is, in my book, particularly useless "feedback". (edit: The point is, if you see one change you can predict how it will change the game. If you see two things change, you&#
Screw the wolves. Think of it like you would expect a player to. That's the only way you'll ever approximate a challenging AI. PS. The battlefields are way too small to worry about "leaving yourself open to attack". Deliver the most imaginable punch you can, as fast as you can. You'll never outmanoeuver a player. PS2. To determine a target, you need to evaluate three variables: 1) is the unit dangerous to me? 2) is the unit valuable to the enemy? 3) how weak

I don't know why everyone wants automated roads if its just going to take away any choice in the game. Is it just a graphical feature? A tech unlock with slight upgrades? Or are we retaining the ability to choose road placement, just getting rid of the caravans? Like, maybe you get to place one road every 100 population or something.
