About the scenario: I've noticed that in the scenario, I can snake cities over to forests and rivers to make logging camps and docks become available for construction. This is not something that I can do in the sandbox game. Is the change in snaking mechanics intentional? If so, why is it available in the scenario but not in the sandbox game? Personally, I prefer this to be possible, but I think that game mechanics should be consistent, since the LH scenario feels much mor

In the FE beta, it was requested that the sequential traits with cumulative bonuses would both replace the icon (rather than adding a new icon to the list of traits) and display the total bonus from that set of traits rather than the bonus from the most recent trait. Unfortunately, this was only partially granted. It is something that would make sense to do and should only require changing a text string slightly.

The problem with this is where you draw the line between an administrator and a field commander - does a Commander with Administrator I get to be an administrator for experience purposes, even if you've invested 8 levels into Leadership and Tactician? Does just choosing the Commander class make them into an Administrator? Does the Commander need to invest more levels into the governor-type skills than the field commander-type skills (and if so, how many more levels? One? Five?)? Does the

[quote who="Azunai_" reply="231" id="3355050"]. you think the tree has to be filled[/quote] No, I think that the branch of the tree your champion is specialized in should be able to be mostly filled at mid-level, and after that the champion doesn't really need to progress further, although it could occasionally be nice to have a very powerful champion with a more or less completely filled trait tree even if it comes at the expense of the development of other champions. Instead, we

@parrotmath: I wasn't saying the quest locations should reset instantly. I was saying that perhaps after a few seasons or years (depending on the quest location type - higher-difficulty quest locations should take longer to reset than easier quest locations, and an inn that just had a hard quest should take longer to get its next semi-random difficulty quest than an inn that spawned an easy quest, and possibly include a failure penalty in the reset time) the quest location (which

[quote who="davrovana" reply="218" id="3354910"]1) Why can't Destiny's insight cost only 100 mana, Instead of 200? 125? 2) Why can't xp giving books be available in the shop for a fat price (maybe make it a tech unlock)? Why can't the adventurer's guild give a flat 1 xp per turn? it comes so late in the tree now, isn't that fair? 3) Why can't monster lairs continue to spawn throughout the game, outside settled territory? 4) Why can

@Azunai_: The problem isn't so much the "one level-16 champion vs 3 level-10 champions" as that level 16 champions feel like they are (at most) mid-level champions, and level 10 champions feel just barely out of low-level, yet this is essentially where the progression stops, especially when you keep multiple champions in the same stack. Champions feel like they are just beginning to become useful when they run out of ways to level up. Then there's also an issue where i

I will usually avoid building Black Markets as an Empire in the early part of the game, since those carry an unrest penalty. The only time I might not build everything in the city that I can is when I place a city in a spot that has limited space (very close to another city, or pinned between a river and a mountain, or things like that). But I tend to get rid of cities like that unless I for some reason really needed a city there. Generally, I prioritize basic production struc

I think that part of the problem is that only two classes of champions (Commanders and Mages) specialize in doing something that trained troops cannot do more easily. Trained troops make better tanks than Defenders, since the troops have (2*level + 6)*figure_count health, and usually have about as much armor, whereas Defenders get (16 + 3*level + trait_bonuses) health. They also generally make better damage-dealers than Assassins or Warriors, since they generally have equivalent chances

For those of you who are curious about experience progression: Champion Level. Experience to next level / total experience required for current level 10 / 0 22 / 10 37 / 32 54 / 69 74 / 123 97 / 197 122 / 294 150 / 416 181 / 566 ?215 / 747 ?251 / 962 292 / 1213 335 / 1505 381 / 1840 429 / 2221 481 / 2650 536 / 31

[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="24" id="3354368"]Very interesting. But how exactly did you get those numbers?[/quote] I have a table of the experience values required to reach the next level for levels 1-9 and 12-21, plus interpolation for levels 10 and 11 (which I made for FE 1.32, so it might not be entirely accurate anymore - I have not checked). I posted it in one of the other champion experience threads, if you want to look for it. I sum them up and add in the bonuses where req

About the quest tile issue - you could have a copy of that quest currently active, as you cannot have multiple copies of the same quest active at the same time. Thus, if the Refugee Camp in your screenshot is going to give you the quest for Panca Archers and you already have that quest active, you cannot trigger the Refugee Camp until after you complete the one you already received.

The only ways I know of to influence troop placement are weapon choice and (possibly) champion class. If you give your champions bows or magic staves, they will deploy towards the back of the party, while if they have swords or similar, they will deploy on or near the front line. Be advised that champions with ranged weapons will deploy much, much further back than your close-quarters fighters will, and this can be an issue if you want to get that champion up to the front in time to cast a to

I would tend to agree that the Potential traits are something of a trap, unless you intend to get a champion to very high levels (for the game, anyways). A little chart I made (note that it was made using level experience values from FE; I haven't checked to see if these have changed, but I don't believe they have): Traits Break-Even Level P1 20

Due to the severity of the experience penalty for stacking champions, I rarely ever have more than one champion per army, unless they are both already at a high enough level that they aren't going to be leveling up any time soon anyways. I would like for the experience split to be toned back a little, or for it to go away. I don't really care which, but I would like for one or the other to happen. Currently, most of the early champions I get are more or less expensive governors since

[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="1" id="3352724"] I wonder what in there might rounding.[/quote] The last line in the tooltip says "Unit Defense Bonus from Player Ability (25%)" or something like that.

I tend to agree with Alstein - it doesn't make sense that I cannot wear a chain shirt or a piece of plate unless I have some specific training. It would make sense that I suffer from some kind of penalty (most likely initiative, but defense and dodge penalties would also be appropriate) if I don't have some degree of practice or training in using the armor. Plus, there's an unfortunate lack of good armor that doesn't require those traits after leather and anything else

Another thing is that the leading 'the' should not be present. The description should read: "Hosten's Library will provide all cities in the nation that completes it with a boost to research." Unless, of course, the possessor is The Hosten rather than Hosten.

If I recall correctly, you also need to clear all of the other treasure sites in that wildland before it will clear. Thus, if there are any Shattered Statues, Ancient Battlefields, or anything else like that, you need to collect the treasure from those before the wildland will clear, even though they aren't pits or caves and don't have any opponents keeping you from clearing them.

If you want to make this change to your game: Go to the Legendary Heroes install directory and open /Gfx/Icons Under /Gfx/Icons, locate Icon_Fire.png, Icon_Air.png, Icon_Earth.png, Icon_Water.png, Icon_Life.png, and Icon_Death.png Copy those six files to /My Documents/My Games/LegendaryHeroes/Mods/Gfx/Icons Rename, recolor, or replace those six files in the Mods directory until you're happy with the appearance of the icons (note - you don't

The Potential traits, at least in FE, stack by adding the percentages, rather than multiplicatively or by replacement. So Phaedyme's 60% bonus is correct, unless the stacking was changed in LH. Another thing to note is that ALL experience bonuses stack this way, so if you have Potential III and Trainer I on some champion, and Trainer I on another champion in the same army, you'd get +80% experience on the first champion and +20% experience on the second (I think, anyways - it has been

Hopefully there would also be some consideration towards creating a balance of power through alliances. After all, if there are only one or two main powers in the game, then the weaker factions should want to have some safeguards against aggression from those factions, either by allying with one of them to force their involvement in case of war, or by forming a coalition of minor states which would at least be problematic for the dominant factions to absorb. Also worth considering wou

Did any of those last three armies contain a mirror elemental, or anything else with a damage reflection ability? Another post mentioned that it seemed like the Mirror Elemental's damage reflection ability worked on both the tactical and the strategic level, though I cannot say for certain either way.

If wonders work anything like they do in Fallen Enchantress, then you cannot place a wonder in the build queue if another nation has already placed said wonder in the build queue, regardless of whether or not work has actually begun on it. If you want to build a wonder, you need to be the first to place it in the queue, which might also require that you are the first to research the tech unlocking the wonder. This works both ways - the AIs cannot attempt to build a wonder if you have

It sounds like you might have turned on the "explore" function for the boat. Select the boat, click the "explore" button, and see if the boat becomes controllable. Or build yourself a second boat at the home city.
