Units, champs AND sovs. General Carrodus came to visit my kingdom. Mysteriously, he went by the name "Mr Dickface" when he left.

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="1" id="3058852"]Holy Hit Points Batman!! Lord Markinns got over 3k[/quote] What I would like to know is how he lost like 2k of those hitpoints... Especially since he was Matrix-dodging all my attacks...

I met Gilden and the sov is incredibly strong and the kingdom is extremely powerful. See screens. Here's an autosave if you want to have a look: <a href="http://www.shell.linux.se/dsk2293/elemental/fe/gilden

Just finished it as well. I'm surprised how much smoother the game runs and how much better it looks. Now, sandbox!

1.3MB/sec have never felt so slow...

This is so cool.

Just a small observation on the tactical screen. The initiative list to the left. It seems to be a bit hard to tell the different units apart. Maybe you could have the units light up when you hover the mouse over the icons?

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="24" id="3054739"] Quoting Omnax1, reply 20 Quoting StevenAus, reply 14Yes, Age of Wonders had wonderful unit descriptions. AoW2 didn't have them and the game felt more like a "game" and less of a "world" because of that. Aow, AOW 2 and shadow magic had descriptions as I remember. Oh, well there was something in AoW that wasn't in AoW2. If it wasn't unit descriptions, then I don't know what it was. [/quot

Love it, looks much better than that ugly cloth map! Suggestion: Maybe different shaped icons for monsters and other units? Like squares or diamonds...

With all the new cool GUI, why didn't you rework the spellbook a bit? Like... maybe having all spells on one page could be useful? I don't see why it has to be a book, just make a list.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="59" id="3050015"]They are getting a new one from Paradox pretty soon I think. Warlock? [/quote] I'm in the beta. Very different from FE.

You should keep calling it E:FE. If the game is great the word will get out anyway. It's not like Fantasy TBS fans have tons of other new games to choose from. Be honest. Just call it the second game in the series, a total rework of the failed first game. There was a good game hidden in E:WoM, and by hiring some of the best talents around you were able to make it the game you wanted WoM to be. MoM has nothing to do with it. Don't mention it.

I agree as well. I really don't see why champions alone should be able to defeat entire armies. But if you have a bunch of them together they should be powerful... Maybe just make them more common and reduce their stats a bit? Hopefully we will be able to mod this.

Tactical battles look really fun!

I really like that you can create custom factions easily and then play against them. I want this. Now.

This game should still be on your upcoming-games-to-keep-an-eye-on list.

In a game like FE you can have many different stats because they will not be the deciding factor if you win or lose. However, RPG's generally tend to be better with fewer stats (Skyrim is one example). RPG's always have an optimum skill progression that you are almost forced to follow, or you will not be able to complete the game. In FE there will hopefully be several strategic choices to make, and not just "put all skill points into magic and win". I think having lots of stat

I'm in the closed beta for Warlock:MotA. Starts tomorrow. This will be interesting.

Adding different heights to units is not complicated at all, it's just about abilities and immunities. Flying units just need the "Flying" ability, which gives them immunity from strikes from units with the "Walking" ability. That's how it works in AoW. There's no need for different heights on the map for this to work. [quote]AoW has a hell of a lot more to its battles than Elemental does, first of all. The maps are not flat - there are walls and buildings. There are lots

I want to see combat.

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="13" id="3037466"]Facebook is the new forums. Why don't all you dinosaurs go to your BBSs and talk about kids today? [/quote] Facebook is for posers. I have no desire to show everyone what I "Like", or to know who is currently playing Farmville or some other game designed for imbeciles. Now, where did I put that 28.8k modem...

[quote who="LightofAbraxas" reply="2" id="3037229"] You know what I like best about that video? Mountains to plains without mandatory hills tiles between them. That really made the mountains look very unimpressive in WoM. The rest is pretty good, too.[/quote] Really? I would like more hills. Now its either completely flat or a huge mountain, which looks very unnatural. Also the tiles with dead trees look terrible and feel like WoM leftovers... The new l

Yes I assumed wrongly, there's no health bar over the units head or squares on the ground so it's not TC. Weird scale though... That monster must be friggin huge.

Looking good! I assume this is a screenshot from a tactical battle?
