Currently the different weapon types are not completely balanced. I like playing with a mix of unit types - I like the rock/paper/scissors of matching the best adversary to what I'm fighting. BTW, the removal of damage types took away a huge component of the rock/paper/scissors matchups. [e digicons]:'([/e] Swords are somewhat OP due to + initiative. They tend to have high attack, get counter, and have high initiative. The best counter-unit to a

[quote quoting="post"] If a player completes a world achievement (Great Mill, Merchantcross Bazaar, etc.) they should get + 10 Fame as well.[/quote] +1 , except 10 Fame is excessive. +1 fame for early game wonders, +3 fame for mid game wonders, +5 fame for late game wonders

Have Previous/Next city buttons on the City HUD at all times, not just in the Build/Train windows.

Yes, I would rather the Ascian have 4 movement, lose it's lightning teleport attack and replace it with a normal range 1 lightning attack.

[quote who="luketan" reply="13" id="3340982"] Probably. Cos these are MOM like features and MOM fans are in the minority [/quote] Um, not from what I've been reading... [quote]Seriously, my impression from reading forum threads is more players here are interested in "balance" and the AI challenge more than in the fun factor (except that balance and AI challenge is fun). Hence you see lots of discussions on champion skill trees , which *IS* important but most

[quote who="joeherbert48" reply="98" id="3340782"] If you were playing a multiplayer game you might have some points there about not being able to get high level Sovs and Heroes but playing against the ai's you don't. I can beat them with lvl 8 sov and heroes.[/quote] And that is EXACTLY the problem!!! It is not FUN to play a game that has heroes in it, esp one called Legendary Heroes, where your heroes are completely overshadowed by even cannon fodder type units.</

[quote who="AlienFromBeyond" reply="2" id="3336653"] Yeah, it's begun to get on my nerves, kill enemies on a lair only to have the AI steal the rewards from you. I've started doing the same to them it's so annoying. AFAIK this was pretty much the reason for getting rid of it, so you could kill and loot in one turn.[/quote] Yes, I was trapped by an AI stack, a lair and water. The only way out (after passing for 5 turns) was to kill the lair. But with all m

I have some Heirgamenon requests in this thread. https://forums.elementalgame.com/442472

Balance can mean all these things, but also: Balance between all the factions. Invariably all games have some factions who are more powerful than others due to "racial" abilities that play stronger or weaker in the greater framework of an entire playthrough. Some games are better at balancing the different factions than others.

[quote who="joeherbert48" reply="7" id="3340055"] Unfortunately that's what the "majority" want to do is redesign the game for the way "they" want to play it. That's always the problems of feedback. The I want I want I want crowd. Those that "think" they know a better way to design a character or a unit. Like the guy up there with a list of changes for just about everything in the game. Just "his" world not mine and probably not yours.[/quote] And what's wrong with as

1) Tell what element the spell is and what spellbook and/or research is needed. 2) Allow it to be searchable. 3) I think it was the Great Mill - anyway there was a building that one of my cities could build and another city could not. The building description in game and in the Heirgamenon were exactly the same - neither listed any pre-reqs for the building. Please list all pre-reqs for all buildings.

I didn't know Outposts were upgradable until I saw this thread. Was this concept in the FE tutorial? Anyway, not that I know about the upgrades, I have started using them, mostly hightower. But since the upgrades take time in a city queue they are really extremely limited in use. There was one case where I had more upgrades queued up, but took them out and haven't had a chance to put them back in because of new tech and now war. I like the suggestion

SMAC, MOO, MOO2 to name some games with build your own combat units. These games the AI builds their own unit types and is not horrible at it. Why can't the AI build their own units in FE or LH?

[quote who="Rath3130" reply="19" id="3334768"] I think if Stardock had it so we could set up our units in battle before it actually started, or even a window that opens up showing a grid where you would like your units to start in a standard fight would be greatly helpful.[/quote] This. Implemented either globally or as a perk for the Commander hero type called Tactics.

Yesterday I read a comment in a thread which I cannot find now for some reason where the poster was complaining about all of us who are offering constructive criticism for LH. The poster didn't understand why so many of us are "trying to force our wills on the game" or something along that line. That poster obviously does not understand the purpose of a Beta. The constructive criticism us Beta testers are offering is exactly what the Devs have asked us to provide in ex

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="15" id="3338841"] I always looked at the roads as being neither your empire or their empires road, but more or less the merchants roads.[/quote] Sorry for not being crystal clear... Of course I meant the roads you spent time researching to connect your cities and outposts. The trade treaty roads are a bonus and can go wherever they want. But YOUR roads should connect YOUR cities/outposts through YOUR territory. &nbsp

[quote who="vmoped" reply="88" id="3338842"] The simple fact is that parking all your additional heroes in cities to become administrators seems really odd, since my sovereign cant really afford the xp loss of taking them along, nor the loss of xp potential by allowing them to go on their own. Even so, by the time my sovereign who has fought every battle and never died with tutelage on and multiple +25xp casts is still only around lvl 12-14 by the time I win having never capped a s

One MUST for the auto-generated roads... Roads need to go through your OWN territory and not enemy territory.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="6" id="3338335"] Quoting emmagine, reply 5 There are many things about elemental I like better than mom. Dynamic troop creation, mods ability, skills progression, city levels, and all sorts of other unique things. There are also mom aspects I don't want anywhere near elemental. These things could be used to balance some things (like magic) and add interesting choices to character and faction progression. G

I find it interesting that so many users in so many different threads are asking for features from MOM. It is interesting because I know an editor at GI and he told me that way back when Elemental was in early development, we're talking pre-beta, the Elemental devs told GI that they wanted to make MOM 2 essentially, but they had issues getting the IP for MOM, so they created the Elemental IP. Now that we are in iteration 3 of Elemental with LH, there are still so many core m

I'm sure the economy in Elemental/FE/LH has been set the way it is on purpose. I am failing to see the purpose, however. There is far too little income generation and troops have too large of wages. Unless you straight line to all the income generation you might have enough income to support 2 stacks of units, but probably not. Certainly not if you want to buy equipment to make your Champions useful - which is another issue entirely - other posters have asked why C

[quote who="random_thoughts_7" reply="63" id="3336444"] What about using a skill gives a chance of automatically gaining a pick based on the skill? So using a spear would give you a chance of receiving a spear bonus, throwing a fireball would give a chance of gaining a fire mage lavel, sitting in a town would give chances at +research/money/unrest skills. This would be in addition to the normal leveling-up process. It would definitely help mages because if they have a large n

[quote who="mocachild" reply="37" id="3334878"] I can see the point of those wanting random skills, however that is definitely a subjective matter. I personally like being able to pick where I want to go. What needs to happen (now this is just my opinion of course) is that we have so many cool things in each tree that it makes "builds" of different kinds (within each class) all very viable. Like Wizard1200 said the more interesting and "cool" options available the more

Yes, this is my #1 complaint with LH over FE. I want blunt/cutting/pierce to be separated again. Auto-upgrade is "broken" because of lumping all 1 or 2 handed weapons together. I would also like to split out the magical items form the auto-upgrade path because crystal is rare enough that all of a sudden all your troops needing crystal becomes a problem. My personal habit is to design 1 elite troop type which has "everything" and then a cannon fodder type troop to fle

I'll take this thread for a roll-up thread for all bugs found... My first game, after loading the game from a save all units could be built in 1 turn as they showed up as needing 0 production value. They still needed the crystal/metal/wargs, but no production points. I'm up to date with the March 26 update.
