I actually disagree. Removing this would make spamming low level things utterly ridiculous.

Your idea is interesting, another possibility is to copy Civ4 and add a significant upkeep cost to cities. This way you couldn't afford too have many low level cities and would have to develop them 1 at a time.

@OP: Are you talking about guardians or wanderers? The monsters that sit on lairs and don't move unless placed under ZoC are what I call guardians, and wanderers are those monsters that do wander around normally. As stated by Frogboy wanderers already have a patrol radius. Although they tend to be very weak and not attack cities ever. Guardians on the other hand when aggroed wander around randomly. I find the current system off but if you were to make guardians attack eve

[quote who="LNQ" reply="18" id="3209314"]I'm not a fan of having a too complicated system. I would just like to have lairs having a ZOC and function as minor wildlands that you have to clear to settle in that ground, and maybe group a few lairs together.[/quote] Pretty much. Although you could make it informal so that you simply can't place ZoC over monster lairs or even on tiles beside a monster lair. So if you want the resources you have to beat the lair. The whole system wh

[quote who="joasoze" reply="12" id="3209033"]Make the AI NOT settle near the big monsters to trigger them then, or change the trigger. Dont stop wandering monsters. We are supposed to be in peril. This is not a game where the monsters are lined up and waiting for you to take them one at a time (I hope)[/quote] [quote who="seanw3" reply="20" id="3209193"]I think one thing that might help the game is an easier easy setting.

Medium because it feels right. It is just the right size to allow you too fight multiple opponents and reach end game tech. Larger then that and it is just extra space to mop up. You can get large empires but nothing ridiculous like 50 cities. At max I want around a dozen, more is just annoying micro.

The real problem here is not how tough monsters are but how random the actions of the monsters in game appear to be to players. I find the world to have already been nerfed into oblivion now. Except dragons I usually just kill every monster and lair in the game with a single champion. The militias in towns can easily deal with 99% percent of wandering monsters. So you never have to garrison towns against monsters .Umberdroths and freed lair guardians being the only exception and garrisoning a

[quote who="Dorkopotamis" reply="5" id="3208370"]I'd also like to suggest a change into how might is calculated. Maybe if a particular force continues winning against stronger rated forces, its own might rating could increase?[/quote] This is a real issue as well. I routinely destroy armies with much higher threat ratings then me even without magic use. Obviously the whole threat ratings thing needs tweaked. Sometimes it is obvious to me that my army is much tougher even though it

This thread is dedicated to improving the FE AI. While the AI is actually fairly intelligent and challenging it still has more then a few quirks. If these quirks are removed then I believe that most players will have a very hard time dealing with high level AIs. Here is a list of known faults with the AI. Strategic -AI still occasionally lea

Ya it's currently very hard to find all your resources that need upgrading.

I just finished a long game. I had lots of fun but I couldn't actually win due to a repeating crash. Definitely an Excellent in my books although there are tons of bugs, AI issues, and balance issues left. With the Economic system in place the game has finally come together.

-My troops with hammers when upgraded got winged spears. -Burning Wraiths continuously attack until the opponent dies so they can kill anything in 1 turn. -Monster resources produce endless amounts of monsters.My one city filled up with darklings and then overflowed. -The Forge of the Overlord costs Influence in the xml instead of DiplomaticCapital so it is unbuildable. -My level 2 conclave was still called a village.

I prefer to read physical books. I find it easier on the eyes, like to decorate with bookshelves, like to read in the bath, and I don't have a great record when it comes to long term data storage.

[quote who="DevildogFF" reply="17" id="3206201"]Because I just can't wait any longer. Any hope for a changelog to tide us over until then? [/quote] Amen

[quote who="OrionM42" reply="96" id="3206101"] However well meaning we may be, we are not the purchasers who are going to make or break E:FE ... let alone turn it into an overwhelming success. [/quote] Or indeed purchase it at all since for the most part we probably got it for free or have already pre-ordered it. So you could say that in order to be successful FE has to directly appeal to people who are specifically not us.

I'm also of the opinion that while I think terrain bonuses would add a lot the most important thing is the AI. If the AI will have trouble with it then there is no point. I would much rather have a good tactical AI. A Feature is pointless unless the AI can use it well. That said I think mud and hill tiles that slow units and defensive tiles would be awesome.

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="43" id="3205320"]In other words, if the human waits until the AI is in range and the AI waits until the human is in range then no one will move and the battle will stall.[/quote] Your forgetting that different units have different movement rates. There is no reason to run a unit with higher movement like a wolf into the attack zone of a bunch low movement units. If all the units have the same attack speed then it's obviously more complicated however a

[quote who="Jean-A-Luc" reply="34" id="3205139"]What I meant is that FB purposely took the faster rout to keep the video shorter and to the point. Of course he knows he could've kept the wolf (almost) unhurt.[/quote] Except he has done similar stuff in every video he has posted, the AI did the same thing in the video, and the AI does the same thing in the current version. Plenty of evidence to support the theory that he did not just fool around to make the video shorter.

I agree with pretty much everything you have said here. Higher levels of world difficulty should have respawning monster lairs, and lairs that level over time better. Teleporting is the devil.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="5" id="3204811"]Yeah, especially with squishy but high damage units like wolves. You might want to tweak the auto-AI code for that too (but it would probably still be a good idea for fights against Monsters and Ruffians to have them advance maximum number of spaces even though the human's auto-AI-controlled units wouldn't).[/quote] There is not a lot of strategy in tactical combat right now but what exists is totally ignored by the AI. If you have

Looks good, but what's with always rushing into the enemies tactical attack zone. It's so much smarter to wait just outside it so you get first strike.
