[quote who="Frogboy" reply="15" id="3173852"] Essence is beer. [/quote] Actually, I had been logically assuming that "Essence" was a perfume. Then if you had enough Essence, you would smell better, and the monsters would stop trying to eat you. Instead, they would just buy you dinner, and then show you a Good Time ... <span st
Thanks for your comprehensive Analysis, and for starting this excellent Discussion thread, DSRaider! I am coming a little late to the Party (to this Discussion thread, that is); because since Beta3, v0.915 came out, I have only been playing the 8 standard kingdoms/empires. But now that I am ready to try a customized race, it is really nice to have all this great information, neatly summarized
Excellent Info -- Thanks ! (Though I guess I lost my bet on when the Beta 4 will be released [e digicons]:([/e] ) But one other question: WHY does the new one-line Banner Ad for Elemental: Fallen Enchantress show a 4-masted Sailing Ship at the right end of the banner ? Is this a not-so-subtle "Pr

AND here's another Provocation ! WTF (Why-the-Farkel) does the one Banner Ad for Elemental: Fallen Enchantress show a 4-masted Sailing Ship at the right end of the banner ? [e digicons]8C[/e] Is this a not-so-subtle "Preview of Coming Attractions" ??

So, I chuckled quite a bit, after reading the Original Post in the Discussion thread, and the first 17 comments that followed. Already, the restless masses are champing at the bit, in anticipation of the release of the Beta 4! Among the ploys being tested, I noticed: Guilt-tripping (Tibor2000's reminder to Stardock (a quote from the Kael's v0.915 Changelog)
I think that Gorde has outlined an excellent suggestion here ! For my part, I would suggest keeping it simple. I think the mechanics should be simple; and the effects should be straightforward. In other words I would suggest that there be just three opening lines: one that is clearly mildly hostile, one that is clearly mildly friendly, and one that is purely nuetral. <
[quote who="Darkchaser" reply="8" id="3170015"] So when might the Beta 4 be released then? I figured this was the last until the full release in "the summer"...? [/quote] Toward the beginning of the Fallen Enchantress v0.915 Changelog (which was dated May 17), there was a section identified as the "Foreword from the Frog". The following statement was included near the end of that Foreword: <sp

[quote who="Malsqueek" reply="5" id="3169678"] Regardless, it is still a problem (though I have seen it less frequently in the most recent build). [/quote] There's the Good News ! Like Malsqueek, I am experiencing significantly less of the "Long-Distance-(why-me-why-not-the-AI?)-Monster Rampages", that had been so prevalent, prior to the release of v0.915. I think the incidence of them has dropped b

Your play-through videos here are genuinely interesting. More importantly, they are educational! Thanks for sharing ! On a side note, I enjoy designing cavalry units, myself -- warg cavalry and horse cavalry, light and heavy variants, etc. For example, I try to craft a kind of heavy cavalry as early as I can, (sometimes with t
For all those interesting Observations, running from reply #18 to #25 -- Thanks, Guys! Just to review the bidding: my principle purpose in starting this Discussion thread was to provide a place where folks could identify Currrent Features that they now Really Like - so as to provide some feedback to the E:FE developers, on what aspects of the

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="13" id="3167923"]Derek will have more on this soon. But after much back and forth, it was decided that we're not going to have 1 tile cities. Instead, they'll be just a few tiles (much much smaller than what we have currently). The objective being to let players see at a glance what the city does. &n
Tuidjy and Seanw3 have given excellent technical answers to your question! I'll offer one other. Both cities and outposts add to the territory and resources that you control. But outposts (while not as useful) don't require the city-type micro-management that so many 4X games have traditionally wallowed in. &nb

Thanks for your replies, Trojasmic, sweatyboatman, and Glazunov1 ! In my opinion, these are each solid lists of Great, or at least "good enough", features in the current version of E:FE ( v0.915 ). One reason I think these kind of features need to be high-lighted, is because where existing features are already REALLY LIKED (great, or
