[quote who="Frogboy" reply="20" id="3474392"]That's intended. The parts not yet ruined by the bad guy are pretty, lush, etc. But his areas are...well, you'll see. [/quote] Cool! Can´t wait gettin more familiar with the menace :)
I have to say that after going through the vault documents, I am very interested! This is precisely the epic clash feeling that LH misses and it seems to be great fun! Also, I have noticed from most of the screenshot, the graphics are rather lush, fairy-taleish...have you considered more dark, gothic theme, since we are facing the great evil one? Or will it be a contrast with the lush green, as he starts consuming the world? :) You made your long time and devoted customer feel
(i) What scale will the game have? Precisely, what will be the size of units & city population? The same as LH, i.e. cities featuring hundreds of people and armies tens (hundreds with 1.7?) of soldiers? I really, really, really hope we won't be facing the great evil one with nine guys in our vast army, though visually crafted :) (ii) Will the game's setting be more dark, miserable, as the evil stalks the la
[quote who="zeldalink" reply="6" id="3472344"] I tried to order but can't it tells me a state is required and I live in Canada. Provinces are not listed. WTF[/quote] The same for me. Maybe I should list as Armed Forces Europe? :) Apart from that, the eshop seems to deny my card. Never happened to me before, anyway, will try my different one... Looks like Stardock doesn´t want new business ;) (joking)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="158" id="3472359"] I'd love to find a better unrest system for 4x games.[/quote] How precisely didi you implement this? I was looking forward to bandits as a feature that would make unrest even more interesting and vital... Also, it would represent a natural buffer vs. single stack of doom blitzkrieg, i.e. you conquer enemy city, almost inevitably rebels spawn, you cant proceed unless cleaning them or leaving strong garrison behind.
Bandits not fun? How did that happen? Was looking forward to this...
BTW As of Dead, they need one simple thing: some basic growth, when played by the AI!
Leader Pack bought! Kind of liking that spider guy :) Any info on the bigger squads yet?
Will buy, sir! Just give it a bit more epic feel ;)
Great job, Frogboy! Can you tease with the bigger squads as well? That particularly interests me ;)
Some suggestions: - Mana grenade: damage spell with 3x3 damage and 2 range (so damages directly next to caster), with each use caster has % of "fail" meaning he discharges the grenade on himself (he is in the centre of 3x3) - Taunt: friendly unit taunts enemy, having % chance making them attack that unit instead of a planned target (could work well against AI, deflecting much of their army towards the "taunting" unit) - Dread:<
[quote who="abob101" reply="42" id="3468575"]My thoughts also. Will be interesting to see what Frogboy has on mind on this one.[/quote] For me, the increased size of the squads is mainly an immersion issue. I think that we for sure need to keep the units - monsters - champions balance, on the other hand giving the player feeling that he fields an epic army.
Some great stuff here! Larger squads (= at least a bit more epical battles?), bandits spawning, wildlads changes...can´t wait! And BTW, I will buy the Leader pack DLC once 1.7 is out. To support such improvement, its a fair deal I think :)
I never expected them to release full spouse system via DLC. But I expected bunch of new traits, gear etc. for each new sov, possibly new races as well. What I have seen so far makes me severely worried. THREE new traits and THREE new pieces of gear? So, this is first DLC I wont be buying...maybe on sale, but I dont know. P.S.: I hope we dont get countered by "people buy it" reasoning. I work in a financial industry and believe me, people buy lots of "interesti
[quote]1. How OFTEN do you want to see new DLC? (Monthly, Quarterly, Every couple months, etc.)[/quote] Quaterly is fine. As already said, quality over quantity. [quote]2. What would you like to see our NEXT DLC be?[/quote] Sieges, new unit perks and types (recruitables!), new loot, new factions. I do not care that much about dynasties, it´s not Sims after all :) [quote]Well that's a start i guess. But I think the fi
How bout my save, folks? http://www.mediafire.com/folder/to1689e8fuuio/FE
I always forget, how awesome you guys are :) http://www.mediafire.com/folder/to1689e8fuuio/FE Here is a savegame with debug file. The save crashes (freezes) for me on the very next turn. I have all the drivers etc. updated to the latest. Good luck!
Derek, are you gonna fix the "FE stopped responding" bug that has flooded the forums? Any support from players needed? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I have a save game that crashes (freezes) every time you hit End turn.
Win 7 here...last few weeks (since 1.4?) in every game, somewhere in the late-middle phase, the game stops responding :(
Guess I am depending on the bees from the ol´ Europe, then... :)
Lightning bolt (Aeromancy?), for high level sovereign, is a very powerful spell. I tend to see it sometimes as a Win button. - It is very cheap and (lightning) rarely resistive, plus there is no cooldown (yeah!). - You can cast it in a line of 5, meaning with proper positioning, you can hit 5 units. Imho this thread shows that the magic is interestingly set, with multiple ways to victory and preferences. No nerfs needed ;)
Imho I have one more question. [quote quoting="post"] Players giving tribute are no longer treated as if they are under non-aggresion (ie: you can still declare war or kick them out of your lands, declaring war will cancel the tribute) [/quote] What is the point of the tribute treaty now? I fully agree that it is not some kind of alliance, so the ability to kick them out is viable. I tend to think of it
Derek, just curious, will Dead AI get some special algorithms to deal with the specific growth model? I.e. to build proper buildings and to go more aggresively after the other players? Or can the general AI (thinking of Magnar) handle that sufficiently?

I just wanted to ask, whether the issues with the Dead faction are about to be adressed...only to find that you already mentioned that all of them will be fixed on monday :) Thx Derek and enjoy rest of the weekend! [e digicons]k1[/e]
