https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16401819/FE/economy.EleSav So that's a save. Another issue i realized that since armies are having huge amount of hp healing current healing per season is not enough ... Even though i have a cleric after each battle i have to take couple of turns in the city to recover which slows the game a lot. Any comments on other points?
Yup, i will do it when i am back home
My impression/bugs list after playing through 200+turns on insane world/expert Ai's/large map/all dense/terrifying monsters: - palace - messed up tooltip info: faction prestige -20 -> +1 - scarce gold - I have right now 8 cities, and taxes on medium in order not to go into negative. I never upgrade units, it is cheaper just to spend 2 turns producing new unit with all the bonuses of a fortress than to pay 75g for each unit's upgrade. It will cost me couple hun
Confirming the bug. Outpost should not be razed, since they provide now bonuses to army there is a reason why you want to keep them close to a city. There is generally problem with borders, and it is a loooong time problem. They do not calculate well, for instance, you can build the city right next to AI' borders and they will not move an inch, but if they build anything close to your border than you are in big troubles.
I started to play a game on insane world, but on large map with good number of AI's. I am playing Ythril, and i was on a good start - got 7 cities around turn 200. But i am slowly getting discourage, killing those over 1000hp enemies takes forever ... I am now fielding Yaggernauts which kind of help but still ... Turtling a lot. Just hoping that my development eventually will outsource the world, sometimes i wander, what if i field the hardest units and still, my enemy is way ahead of me
Serious bug (let me know if it vanilla, i will report it): if i build a outpost close to a city that it gets incorporated into the city then this outpost cannot be upgraded. You can click upgrade, choose whatever you want, upgrade will be finished but will not show on the outpost screen.... You can build them without end :)
[quote who="seanw3" reply="698" id="3275060"]What matters the most is the enemy's accuracy. The Dodge value is simply subtracted from the Accuracy of your enemy. If they have 112 Accuracy, your Dodge is irrelevant. What you might be experiencing is the fact that all units get +3 Accuracy per level in this version. I think the vanilla is down to 1 per level. Dodge is in no way balanced or fair in the vanilla, which is why I have this one set up the way I do. Dodge is essentially a defense
[quote who="Kongdej" reply="694" id="3274984"]When I have dodge with this mod it seems to work, you guys care to describe what heroes you are using, or where you are getting the dodge from? These things could be the key factor. Quoting bpalczewski, reply 692In my present game he has dodge 12 and i still have to see him dodge once. The game states "Dodged" when the attack misses for whatever reason, if you have 0 dodge, and the enemy is blinded, the game will say "
This is vanilla problem .... If you have more than one attack / turn militia sometimes shows up, sometimes not.On the other hand, when i attack a city, they are always there :( I guess that cannot me moded...
Sean: [quote who="King_Felix" reply="690" id="3274593"]- Dodge doesn't seem to make much difference. I haven't noticed units that I designed as great dodgers to behave better than units with 0 dodge.[/quote] I have the very same feeling ... Dodge starts to be noticeable when you have over 50 of dodge, under that: no impact whatsoever.AI's troops, however, a little dodge they have and immediately you start to miss them frequently.I also realize that my lord Vega wit
Sean: focus does not add any spell damage. Ups, sorry, does not add any spell mastery.
Buying hoping for more/better in the future.
Bugs: throwing boulders - does not stack either (burning hands, flame dart as well) haste - expires as well during tactical battle (also evade) Again, something wrong going with dodge. Example: my 51 dodge hero fighting against 90 accuracy bear, attacked by bear 10 times (i am not attacking, just casting evade/defending), out of 10: - 3 x triple maul, 4 x double maul, 3 x single maul - chances of triple maul: 1%&
Bugs: - evade expires after two/three turns of tactical battle - i saw also prone units to dodge, but i think this is vanilla bug - there is something messed up with dodge/accuracy in general; i am trying to play Relias who has 23 dodge and 84 accuracy and in battle against bandits who have 0 dodge and 80 accuracy misses more than bandits do. Especially counter attack basically never misses. On the other hands, dodge on wolves work extremely well, m
Are you using Catapults to siege the city before the battles? You need Blizzards, Fireballs, Catapults, radius damage staves to siege. If you have cleared the entire map before you got to those, that means the pacing of lairs is way off. I am working on some more challenging stuff for that stage of the game to keep things interesting. It will take a while to do, but where you are quitting right now is where I want the real game to start.[/quote] Hehe, you must be joking
My world difficulty is expert. Also fallen dragon does not produce anything. I have two bear lair on outskirts of my kingdom, nothing coming from there as well. Anyway, i will have to start to new game, b/c this one i will not win. I have a war which neither of us can win, since it is quite difficult/practically impossible to conquer city. Right now defender can have easily 15+ troops defending in a city on early stage of game, and i will have to wait like 200 turns to h
I will be adding here bugs. Flame arrow - it stacks now too .... Just destroyed also two caravans (auto-resolve), no gold income. Mana blast - resisted, and no damage done ... town watch - gives me 4 troops of spearman, not 2. And they are on horses! Nice surprise, i did not yet researched horses ... Regarding lairs: leaving them alone does not pose any danger. Why? Because nothing comes out of them. I thi
i think with lairs should be the same it is with a player right now. If i attack enemy and win, i remain on tile from which i attacked. Monsters defending lairs should be able to attack anything in their vicinity, but not to move out of their lair following the successful attack. I do not know though whether game engine permits it though ...
Thanks Sean for response, just wanted to be sure whether it is intended or not. My slaves do not live long anyway, they are culled systematically :)
Playing magnar: expert/unmoderate - enemies AI: ridiculous, bugs and remarks: candles spell - hits even if a knife is thrown. Is not activated if a dodge is performed. Never, never hits for 8hp as description says, actually hits for random number from 1-7. slaves - i can produce armored slaves, which are nice troops, one per turn. I am not sure if it is bug, or intended, but production of slaves cost close to nothing , yet you can put any armor and weapon you w
35, male played AD&D, actually i have opened thevery first club of RPG's in my city at the time (communism was not very supportive of stuff like that):) grow up playing chess, and then all strategy games i could get hold of never liked galciv much, preferred stars! and space empire, and i am big fun of dominions 3 (though mp is a real time sink i have no time for right now) some early strategy games that hooked me up: civ1, ceturion, warlock 1&
Sean: I am planning to start a through play-through on insane, should i wait for any important update before i start?
Yea, wild world should be dangerous. If you are not ready, don't move out of your city.
[quote who="seanw3" reply="587" id="3271043"]You tried to play on expert? Are you mad? I don't ever play above a normal world difficulty. The faction AI can be set to expert or higher. [/quote] I play on expert/expert and i am doing very fine :) Actually, i am now trying to play on expert/insane because poor AI is getting destroyed by the world. Sweep was fantastic, now I agree, is useless. When i play Verga now i basically never use it. Before it was nerfed, i loved it. I
I have win 8 and I like it. I do not use metro though much. I think metro has a great potential but apps suck at the moment. But if you do not use metro, you just got win 7 working like a dream. So i do not really understand all that panic ...
