There's already a penalty to armor in the war tech tree -- it reduces dodge. Possibly not enough penalty, but still some. The numbers in your example seem to have top qlty armor reduce mobility to just 1/4 of what an unarmored fighter would have. That seems too drastic even if the concept is valid. I personally think that as we move up the tech tree, armor should not only provide better protection, but have less penalty. Like, medium military tech could p

3: To give us something to complain about :) 4: Refined movement mostly gives a small percentage movement bonus to your units. After you research a few levels of it heroes who already move far because of their horses/packs/rings/amulets will move a lot faster, while slowpoke infantry don't gain as much. Back around beta 1.19c I had my sovie and his stack of buddies with a movement of 10 or 12. 6: The a

Just curious, can $300 really get you something enough better than the old rig to be worth it? Or do you have to because old rig died or got taken over by a family member ?

[quote]I bought the disk version of Shogun 2. You only need Steam once to activate it. After that you don't need Steam anymore and can run the game just fine offline [/quote] That's the most encouraging bit in the whole thread. I don't even have a Stream account and don't really want one much. And Amazon has the disk pretty cheap. My all time favorite system of copy-protection / updates is what original Shogun 1 did. Buy the CD. Download the patch files.&nbsp

I'd vote for a trait tree, with some being pre-reqs for others. I'd also vote for different heroes being pemitted / permanently locked-out-of groups of traits. "Random" might sound nice, but it it is the same random selection for everyone, we can just eventually get the same ones for every hero -- if 1st 2nd choice aren't offered this time, pick our normal #3 choice and wait for next time, etc. The proposed system is a lot like AoW-SM, which I didn't like much, mostly beca

I really liked the minor factions in GalCiv 2. Hope they get come back sometime, maybe in FE. Just the one we have now is a bit better than nothing, but I could live without it. If quests & notable locations don't require tech, I hope/assume they will be defended. Like some posters above, I would like more-varied mounts. Most of the rest sounds good / noncontroversial. So what's missing.... Would like to see caravans get some love, espec

Agree with OPs list and most of the above, including ability to craft magic items and desire for more spells. My own requests / complaints are: 1: In most of my campaigns on max-sized maps, I end up running out of spells to research, especially if I don't have all 4 starting elemental books. Either add more level 6++ spells, or some refined spellcasting that increases the effect of some spells, similar to what intelligence does. Or both. 1a: May

There is already a check-box on the options screen called "enable quick move" that makes units move faster on the main map. Still need a slider too ?? BTW, I could really, REALLY use a similar option for speeding up animations & movement in tactical combat. Or, the total-war style space-bar works find. But I too play in cloth-map only mode, partly because switching between modes is so slow on my machine. Also, agree with those who find some things hard to

1: I've felt for a long time that pop-up messages like "there is already a trade route between x & y" should be suplemented or replaced by a message on the left edge of the screen that we could click on and it would jump to the spot, like so many city messages. But the clincher came (in 1.19f) with a message saying something to the effect of "your caravan cannot find a route back and cannot set up a trade route". Sorry, don't recall the exact words, but it did not incl

OP's 8, 9, 10 & 11c are long-term issues with me too.

New Also, I've had two times when units would not respond to order in battle and I ended up switching to auto-resolve because I couldn't find any way to get them unstuck. Both times the hero was in the sunk-down position and did not pop back up.

Sometimes when a group of enemy are attactiing one of my units which has a good counterattact, I see the animation for one of the enemies dying before the animation for the enemy swinging at me. Mounted heroes often seem to sink into the middle of their mounts for a while. Usually they pop back up pretty quick. (In case it matters, they are kingdom, but riding purchased warg mounts).

I'm ok with super-strong heros able to take out whole stacks. Kind of the point of a fantasy game with heroes in it at all. But they do seem to be a bit too plentiful in late-game, and there are too many that are basically identical except for minor differences in starting equipment. I'd favor more variety of special abilities, including maybe pathfinder, moutaineer, master archer, some abilities that increase attack / defence / health of ordinary units in the army, etc, e

Xander is a sovie in the book content. Buy "Destiny's Embers". Register the magic code you get with the book. Go to Impulse and you should see "Elemental: Destiny's Embers" as something you can install. Then Xander, Nym & others appear as sovie choices in the startup screen. They are both fun, and there is some welcome variety in having to play the game with ZERO spell casting ability until the kids grow up. Nym is super fast, but Xander seems much

[quote]All sovies can cast[/quote] Nope. Xander & Nym from the book extra content can NOT cast. I think there are two other non-casters from the book, but I haven't played them. BTW, Xander is cool. If you like the game, might be worth buying the book for him even if you don't plan to read it.

I notice you can't. Just not sure if that is really an oversight or intentional. I'm playing a non-spell caster sovie (Xander from the book extra content), so I can't cast anything untill the kids grow up, but then it might be fun to imbue him if I could. Were they even thinking about non-channeler sovies when they designed the imbue spell A? (this is on 1.19e)

I've gotten suggestions to negotiate marriages from factions that have only sons, when all I have is sons too.

3: for the Hermit, try to get heroes with "cushing blow" or better yet, "savage strike", as these do damage regardless of defense. Equip them with Elementiun Karazzans. If you have the book, Xander can do it too.

FWIW, I *never* load without exiting & saving. That may be why I OOM less often than some others seem to. So my OOM above must have some other cause, like maybe playing too many turns too much going on. I was using the "dominate" ability a lot in that campaign. Could there be a connection there ? I know it gets confused by "dominate" be cause every time I use it there is a ghost dead unit left on the screen.
