For me finally, the speed animation is right. I think after couple hundred of battles you have different feeling for that :)

In my most recent game, before i even got into the late game, i have had 11 earth shards and believe me LOTS of my troops had a very high defense.

Apart of this idea, i agree on the rest, especially more choice on turn one.

Recently i have been thinking more and more about a new approach to techs. My ideas is this: what if we make a cost of given technology not fixed at the beginning. Let's presume that 1st tech ever discovered cost 100 research points (rp), then the second 150 rp, the third 200 rp and so on. Cost of technology would vary depending on how many techs i already discovered. Thus, if discovered 9 tech in magic, the 10th would cost as much rp as the very first tech in civs. </p

My problem is not what army is good for, but that stats are meaningless . The difference between 20 or 200 attack/constitution/dodge/hp or anything else matters ALWAYS, whereas defense only in few situations. Part of problem of glass cannon is that defense is non-factor, it is easier and faster mass pump spearman then invest in armor.

I am not sure if i am getting mechanics of game well, but it seems that: the way damage is calculated now means that basically once you are hit the damage is always happening, though a minor one. It leads to situation, that if you are attacked by an unit with attack of 4 it does not matter whether you have 30 or 300 defense. 300 defense give you huge bonus when you are facing creature that have over 200 attack, but is as useful as defense of 30 against units with little attack .

Heavenfall - have you, by any chance, registered and posted on 'towns' forum as 'skyfall' ? :)

Agree, way to easy, once you know how to play beginning of a game

Thanks, and sorry, my bad

I know many of you here guys are what i would classify, experienced gamers that played a lot and are not shy to try an indy game if interesting. I have recently discovered a game still in alpha that i enjoy quite a bit and can become a nice jewel. Game is called towns and here is link: http://www.townsgame.com/ You can download a demo and give it a try

I have noticed also buffs loosing the bonuses from shards (and when you have 11 earth shards bonus can be game-changing), but i failed to find when it precisely happens (i new it was happening after re-loading game, but did not know when and how precisely). I will do my test to confirm.

I have discovered that from time to time after saving and loading I loose bonuses from my shards for all buff spells, e.g., stoneskin. For instance I have 9 shards so it gives bonus +30 to defense, sometimes after loading it shows + 3. At this moment all spells are reset: evoke, burning blade etc. and suddenly do not show any bonuses from shards. I failed yet to discover when precisely or why does it happen, but it happened to me now third time in two games .. Very, very annoying and

Yea, i started to load/save before my sov has level to get high in casting levels ... if you wait FOREVER to get from, let's say, level 12 to 13 and all you got are crappy choice i either get mad and swear a lot, or, solution load and level again! What I would like to see is a tooltip that explains how much damage can given spell do including all bonuses a hero has.

Agree

I am very annoyed by this: i got a pop up on right side that my one of my city e.g. leveled. I click on it, b/c i have no clue which one. Now, if i am zoomed in, then the focus goes to the city and i know, if i am zoom out and the city is on screen i do not move to city and an icon is gone. If i am playing on cloth map and see half map clicking on icon gives you nothing ... Then i have to go through each city separately to find out manually .. It is the same with any pop up regar

I usually do contrary - i do not pay too much attention to final score, which is average, but i seek the reasons. I like b/c of this, i can't stand b/c of this, then i make my judgment. I ignore stupid ones like: 'game is sooooo baaaaad !!! 'After couple of decent solid reviews I have a general feeling whether particular game will fit my preferences and often I have found fans' reviews more adequate, at least for me. And objectivity of critics is sometimes questionable - you l

It pretty badly bashed on Metacritics as of now ... LOL, 4.7 that's really, really bad, means lots of fans disappointed

That would make sense ... Since i met this guy with my magic sov it was not a challenge at all

Well, story bored me along, perhaps it got better right at the end. I have to admit that i am picky and i do not judge story in category 'for a video game'. Either it is good, or not. But again, it is my personal taste - I found as well almost all Hollywood movies to be bore, so perhaps i ask for too much. Usually game-play is my main focus, or at times atmosphere - the last game i enjoyed this way was 'Metro'.

I tried to play ME 2 and i got bored in a middle of it, particularly by mining stupid planets. I was not really impressed by the story, but to say the truth i find almost all stories boring after playing so many years - for good stories i read good books :) Thus, is ME 3 in any way different? Better? Great? (interested mostly in opinions of experienced players)

Yea, this boss is totally stupid ... Does not deal any damage and you just have to hit it x times with storm, not big challenge and certainly not a an epic fight ...

Well i have to admit certain sadness myself. Right now I know only of one strategy that is attractive in MP and that's Dominions 3. The complexity of game makes it so interesting that there is still quite a good population of people playing, many years after it was release. I am sad also b/c MP tests you well, right now in FE basically any strategy i tried works ... I would love to fight against spear rush with my magic fellows, or vice-versa and see which

Lucky you guys, i am just finishing game where i yet have to do a single quest ... And i chose huge world with only 5 opponents, so it is not a case that they cleared the map for me ...

Besides, i still have the stack of doom taking down anyone (through magic), including epic monster, but instead of using 6-7 champs it has now two champions using spells with bonuses and good initiative.

I agree, i do not know what to do with champs anymore ... Part of the problem is that first: i am never really attacked, so i do not need defense. Second, maintenance of troops limits the army size, so i never have more than two active armies at the time (this is the case if you do not have special features on you faction/sov cutting costs of troops) Hence, only 2 or 4 (i sometimes pair them for fun) champions are active the rest does nothing ... They
