I was in the same boat as you until I understood that Easy mode can actually mean Medium to Difficult in some aspects. I suggest you drop down on level (to Novice or Beginner-forget which) and set the distribution of food/materials/essence to dense. This latter option will make it easier (but not too easy) to find good areas for new cities. Once you get good at that level, move up one.
[quote who="vieuxchat" reply="25" id="3255682"] I've gotten a lot of questions from people over the past couple of years about why we are giving away Fallen Enchantress to the early adopters of War of Magic. They say people won't remember War of Magic (it was 2 years ago). They say it won't "buy" good will back from those who didn't like WOM. I do remember when WoM was only an idea on the forums. I do remmeber when there were

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="84" id="3251026"] Quoting Gammit10, reply 80 All productivity and talent being equal, to me, the mark of a good leader is one who lets his bottom line take a hit before his workers. If a leader reaps the most when the fields are full, he/she should lose the most when the fields are barren. Examples like this http://www.dailytech.com/Lenovo+CEO+Gives+His+3+Million+USD+Bonus+to+10000+Employees/article25227.htm are what makes

Governments can redistribute wealth. Flat out , handouts and redistribution is what is needed to compensate for this race to the bottom. We aren't in a race for the bottom.

[quote who="FallingStar0280" reply="19" id="3247654"] Per the CEO's letter, I think he stepped in it, but the headline is sensationalized. Writing a letter tying your employee's job security to performing actions outside the business probably isn't the best idea.[/quote] I agree. I don't have an issue with people making a lot of money for a great idea or working hard. I have an issue with people who make a lot of money through unethical reasons o
Awesome! Any news of making it easier to heal wounds for heroes?
The only semi-meh thing they stated I agree with is the tactical battle maps. More variety in mid-map placement of trees and rocks would create some cool choke points.

Dear Stardock: You sons of bitches, I am officially experiencing the "one more turn" syndrome. Curse/thank you.
When i pull up the training window for any city, and hover my mouse over the different Henchmen, their descriptions all read as if I am hovering over the Bard henchmen.
Oops, wrong forum. My fail.
While I agree, I don't think it needs a mega-nerf.

I hate when this happens to me. It's only happened 2-3 times, and only in beta 3 or 4, but it sucks.
This and Planetside 2 have become the first game since the era of Baldur's Gate, Planetside, and Knights of the Old Republic which I can't stop playing or shut up about.
Having played the latest build released to us, and knowing you have a few weeks to tweak I can confidently say "You nailed it." TM, patent-pending. Please do not stop the tweaks and communication so we can provide feedback up to the point of release. As of now, I would give the game a solid 8.5-9.5/10. FE is everything I wished WoM was, and way more.
I have tested these suggestions, and feel I am now much more competitive. That being said, this is still on "beginner" dififculty, and if it was this difficult for me to figure out on that setting, maybe this should be addressed.
I like this.
Thanks for the feedback, folks. I wish a member of Stardock will post in here and either tell me what else I am doing fundamentally wrong or if this feature of the game requires a tweak.
[quote who="Kongdej" reply="34" id="3241096"] Quoting Gammit10, reply 32I take my sovereign, recruit 2-3 heroes Your heroes should not run around in the same stack together, they will gain less experience. Sincerely ~ Kongdej[/quote] Really? Should I run one with my Sov, or put one hero per group?
[quote who="TorinReborn" reply="21" id="3239906"]No there are other way to play. Like take a faction with good fighting sovereign and take him around on leveling spree. Then you can clear the map just with him. SD first try at balancing heroes failed. I had an extremely easy time to win like this. And only died once during it when I was I typically do this as well.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="13" id="3239543"]Tech tree interdependence is killing long-term strategic choices. Every game by turn 200 I have almost exactly the same techs researched.[/quote] Exactly. I typically focus on Civilization, and get one or two in Magic. If, and only if, I survive my first bully attack, I start to invest in Military. I wish magic gave you major magic advantages (a lot more spells), Military major advantages
I've been playing many matches where I try to focus on a mix of technologies, just military, or just magic, and my factions' toughness (or whatever that number is in the upper-right corner) is always so low the other factions pick on me until they finally steamroll and kill me. I have tried spamming pioneers to create new cities, spamming pioneers to build outposts to capture resources, only settling on tiles with 8+ total resources, etc. OK, so I figure I will focus only on C
This would be awesome.
