[quote who="Frogboy" reply="184" id="3136928"]If we thought FE was done, we would ship it. It's still months away from being done. There is a lot of good feedback here. Even the feedback I don't agree with is often very interesting and constructive. Purchasing a video game doesn't give someone the right to behave in a beastly way or abuse the people who made the video game. The person I was responding to was behaving in a way that is not accepta

[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="74" id="3135904"]It looks to me that all the complaints in the thread (except the guy complaining about insignificant bugs in the game engine -- ZoC doesn't update until the next turn! Oh noes!) come down to the AI sucks and the XML needs balancing. Unarguable, but completely expected for a beta.[/quote] No. You don't get to say that. Those "insignificant bugs" aren't insignificant. The ZoC thing was listed DIRECTLY as "Little

I voted terrible. I will explain myself here: During the Elemental War of Magic beta that I was involved in. I made many bug reports for some rather major issues. Many of those bugs are still present in the current incarnation 2 years later. Biggest one is crashing from loading games. If you save/load ~5 times in one session, the game will crash. It did the same thing 2 years ago in the Elemental beta. I reported it with crash dumps galore. Additionally,

Fallen Enchantress still has the same issues that the original Elemental: War of magic had 2 years ago. All of which were reported way back then. - Game states are not saved correctly. Loading saved games can have silly results. Besides crashing after about 5 loads (I presume it's the same memory leak I reported 2 years ago.) My last game had Magnar with 12 traits at level 7 (Probably more because he had at least 2 levels of fire magic), two of which were path of assassin and warr

It's not so much a lie as completely broken/not working. Long list of those. For example: Watchtower's sight, Assassin sov trait, intimidating sov trait, royalty faction trait and so on and so on.

Here is the difinitive answers. Influential does absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. Stop saying it does. It does nothing. Nada, Zilch, Zip. Custom Sov, Custom Faction, No picks whatsoever. Turn 1 - Build City 0 Citizens - 0 Influence Turn 2 - 1 Citizen - +1 Influence (1 Influence total) Turn 13 - 12 Citizens

https://forums.elementalgame.com/397200 This post tells you what you need to know. Caveat: It was posted before they made a patch for the beta. I don't know the beta patch version, but follow the instructions you see in that post to find your versions full name. Beta will probably be something like this: 1.08b[b].037

Not all quests have that ZOC however. For example: Silver Flute, Noble's Daughter/Son, Goose Chase. Nothing protects these from being spawned in enemy zoc. Why should the others get different treatment. (In either direction.) However, what happens when a quest of yours spawns next to an enemy resource that was built. Can you "Steal" the resource that was unlinked because now it's in your ZOC? That would seem like a reason to remove the ZOC itself. (Just thinking out loud for y

I just posted about this issue this morning. https://forums.elementalgame.com/397312 Even without cruel, it's auto setting the morale to 0. The ability says that it gives -20 morale. (Despite the tooltips saying 10%...). That should start combat at 30 moral. Not 0. Even better is that if you play as Carrodus of Capitar yourself. Combat does not do the same in the opposite direction. Army size has no bearing

I decided to play a game with all the factions. I decided also to attack the Capitar faction. I went into tactical combat and learned that the intimidating trait is beyond ridiculous. As you can see if you load the save game, and declare war/attack carrodus to the south of my sov... In tactical combat you will be able to use the actions you start the combat with. After that however you will simply end up waiting till they kill you off. In Autocom

In order for the patches to work for you you must: Make sure the game is patched correctly. Start a new game. Do not load a saved game. Uninstall all mods. (Reinstall any mods that have specifically been updated to the newest patch.) Even old sovereigns can cause issues if things were changed, so it's also a good idea to delete and recreate sovs. Same with custom factions. Any of the above can cause the game to act as if it's not

Except that if you had the multiplayer version installed, you did not get that message and you would have to wait till Monday to be able to use bows, catapults and some other abilities.

The bow problem was fixed in the fix that fixed the fixes. (It's fixed in 1.08.037). Dunno if the mana issue is fixed, haven't played enough since it went live. (And no change log to know if it was fixed or not...) Part of the issue is that impulse truncates the version to simply 1.08. The problem is that there has been three different 1.08 versions since Thursday...

Not if you have patched to the most current up to date as of last night's patch. https://forums.elementalgame.com/397200

Thursday was 1.08 and 1.08b (Multiplayer which was only obtained by showing pre releases). Friday was hotfix. I only know the beta version for that was 1.08b[b].092. Saturday was hotfix to fix the hotfix which is only for 1.08 and updates to 1.08.037. If you had the beta (multiplayer), you need to follow instructions in <a title="https://forums.elementalgame.com/397186" href="https://forums.eleme

Here's the thing: On Thursday we were all at the brand new 1.08 patch. If you had prerelease options in impulse checked you had 1.08b[b].092 which was simply 1.08 with multiplayer. Then they hotfixed on Friday. I forget the version that put us at. Saturday they did yet another hotfix to fix the hotfix. However they did not add this hotfix to the multiplayer version. The only way to get the fixed fixed fixed version was to uninstall, uncheck the pre release to get rid o

[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="80" id="2776970"] Wrong. Take my last game for example. No gold mines from the gold mine one. 2 twilight bees, and no Crystal. Kinda pissed me off on the crystal actually. Gold mine was no big deal, for some reason the whole area around me was saturated with gold mines. After conquering one Ai, and building 2 cities I had 6 gold mines to my name....yeesh.[/quote] I have done 100 turns of EACH of the adventure techs that spawn resources. Every singl

[quote who="Kadrium" reply="78" id="2776630"] I actually prefer that it spawn them both inside and outside your influence. If it can only pop mines in your AoI and you research that tech while you have a dozen cities, you can spring up a bunch of gold mines. If you research it while you only have 1 city, you won't get nearly the return, and you kinda "have" to research the tech if you want to access anything past it. Sooo.... Spawning nodes outside your AoI is good, and it incentiv

1.08 is 1.08 without multiplayer. 1.08b BETA is 1.08 with multiplayer. If you have 1.08b, you are up to date including the multiplayer.

I was unable to buy armor, but I could buy legendary. Dunno what reason.

In one game I hired 9 copies of Vaenia and saw a few more enemy copies that I slaughtered. There needs to be either a vast amount of new champions, or simply less champions overall. (And for the love of god add more female champions...)
