Glazunov1

I seem to recall the last version being 1.004, so this appears to be the patch.

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="510" id="3271009"]Thought Frogboy said in a thread that today is patch day. Hopefully![/quote] 1.01 is out now, if that's what you mean.

[quote who="wnmnkh" reply="14" id="3270724"] Quoting Glazunov1, reply 13 Then Battlecry. Only works if that mage has more initiative than dark wizard.[/quote] Of course. It works. Battlecry causes all your units to take an immediate turn. If you plan ahead, you can actually chain this, so that as the chain ends, the next mage with Battlecry casts it, causing the chain to restart. And then yo

[quote who="bonscott" reply="38" id="3270236"] Quoting Kamamura_CZ, reply 36Just brace yourselves, the next DLC is Aztec invasion - unprecedented silliness for a Pdox title. Yea, this one is kinda funny. I'll probably skip that one. The devs have said that it's a totally optional DLC and just for fun and isn't counted toward the total number they said they would release. I guess they have a couple more in the pipeline.[/quote]

The game still has a few bugs--no killers--and requires some balance, as well as more player control over random setup conditions. However, it's very enjoyable, with lots of faction differentiation, some good spells, quests, plenty of distinct enemies, and replayability. I strongly recommend it.

[quote quoting="post"] I understand that the guys at Stardock are programmers and not gamers...[/quote] Everything else aside, you probably should consider separating your opinions about the game, from facts about the game, and both from facts about the developers--whom you don't know. I interviewed Brad a couple of times, for articles--and during the first one, he told me about how he missed his firstborn's birth because he was too preoccupied playi

[quote who="zonk_1000" reply="51" id="3269810"]It's funny when people call it hating just because someone's opinion doesn't coincide with theirs. So lame.[/quote] Pretty much. I don't agree with nearly anything the OP says, but he's reasonable, and seems to base his conclusions upon observations that are true to his own preferences and experiences. I can't argue with that.

I've not had the problem you describe. If an enemy starts outside the mud patch and moves into it, that enemy is limited to one square per turn.

RedeemerAZ , FE has a lot more randomized variation in setup conditions than any other TBS game I know. Some people love this. Others hate it. Personally, I'd like to see more control of it given over to players on an advanced map configuration screen, but as it stands, what you see is what you get.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="6" id="3269748"]Retired champions are very useful.[/quote] Brad, does the AI ever retire a champion? If so, I've never seen it, but I have seen AI unit stacks that included champions whose injuries made them look like crash dummies in a seatbelt commercial after their cars were totaled.

[quote quoting="post"]Bows suck. They do. The main reason is their low damage. Although a bow can be useful earlygame against bandits and darklings, all it takes is a suit of leather armour and a wooden shield to make bows virtually worthless. it feels like they're affected more strongly by defense, than other types of weapons. The tarth do have a bow with armour penetration, but it's right at the far end of the tech tree, which i feel is pointless. I think ALL bows need some amount o

[quote who="athelasloraiel" reply="2" id="3269212"]they are cheating. on challenging. It should be corrected.[/quote] This is about trading tech points, which any AI can do with any other, and with the human player. I'm not sure I understand how that is cheating, unless there's some aspect of it you haven't mentioned.

[quote who="wnmnkh" reply="1" id="3268930"]It's hardcore 4X game.[/quote] And a TBS. It's far easier to review action, arcade, RTS, FPS, even RPGs, then to get a real feel for the mechanics and longterm play of something like FE. Not to mention that most gamers aren't interested in TBS games. That's not to say FE shouldn't be reviewed. Only that many sites won't.

[quote who="Emperor_Nero" reply="16" id="3268859"]I have noticed that these forums are so much more mature and can carry a discussion and even arguments without them devolving into trolling and ignorance. I am a regular with nearly 5000 posts on another forum and the forum is large and has a huge moderation team that has a turn-over rate higher than a McDonalds griddle.

Would have been nice if prices rose and fell according to the presence of threats around the city of affecting roads between them. I know it won't be done, but still.

It's an endlessly cloned family. A sort of Dalek, but with the ultimate goal of driving all who live into economic despair and ruin.

Rnowalk, on a chance, have you tried -localdataonly, as the flag?

We really need a change to the Ophidian descriptive text. Something along the lines of "They are immune to all spells, but not special abilities."

I've noticed that AI sovereigns with the Aggressive trait are strongly inclined to spread out quickly, make demands of others, and declare war even when facing a superior force.

I use the salted pork. Its a good cheap heal and anyone who isnt using it is a noob. However, every time I do detracts from my enjoyment of the game because in my culture(which is practice by a large chunk of humanity for thousands of years) pork is bad. I should have said
