One thing to keep in mind is that the weight display has a feature that can be more annoying than helpful. If you select an unequipped item (select only, not equip it) the champions load bar will update to show what it would be if you *did* equip that item. Only the bar will do this and it's shown with a slightly shaded bar but it can be hard to spot. If you look at the actual numbers by hovering above the weight display you will st

Agree with most things, except (9). In fact there is a thread om making archers better somewhere. :) The thing that balances archers is the tech takes a while to get, especially higher level bows and damage is weak against armored targets. I always go for mages rather than archers if I have crystal since they have no issue with armor. Item (2) is the one I want most since it would help with the "quirky" path finding but it has been asked for many t

No doubt AI is seriously hard to do for a game like this. But there is a common thread in the comments and I think areas that if improved could go a long way toward improving the perceived level of the AI. As far as I’ve seen the AI is still not good at defending cities (at least on large maps). If the AI decides to go to war it should be prepared, i.e. ready to launch an attack. If war happens, no matter who initiated it the AI should go into war-mode

I find the Elementals, with the exception of crow demons, to range from useless to utterly useless. Death demons are lackluster, even at 5, and beyond early game are outclassed by any random troop you can build. Sure they have some hp but 2 hits later and they're almost dead. And they hit like wet noodels. :) I find it somewhat amusing that in the scenario everyone is so afraid of the Enchantress and her wraiths. I

There are special abilities that always seem to freeze the game, in tactical battle, for me. v0.86. Often it's a permamemt freeze forcing me to kill the game process. It happens with a freshly loaded game too so not an out of memory issue. The abilities I know cause this: Maul, both used by bears for example or if I have a weapon with maul. Sometimes if I wait it eventually executes at which point the game is ok until the next use of maul. The

[quote who="Sanati" reply="4" id="3060835"] The more I play the more I see this isn't the case. People are just focusing on the champions because they are fun, and because they are focused on they are decently powerful. A single 5 stack of spearmen in leather, with +str and +con talents and maybe some cheap magic rings will make level 10-12 champions look like a waste of time. Level them just a handful of times and they become unstoppable gods with hundreds of health and d

Played a game to the end today and this is the feed back I jotted down while playing. I had a great time playing. Not saying much on balance because it's easy to get it wrong with only one game played, but maul + retaliate is win :) AI seemed weak in this game I didn't meet any factions for a long time due to slightly weird map but they didn't seem to have done much. One enemy kept sending heroes and units not as armies but as singles even though they were

Fireball is aoe, 3x3 squares if I remember correctly.

I prefer it on because placing buildings is quite hard otherwise, and it's not at all obvious you are in "place building mode". Also if you have the city hud turned on, which I like, it block half the placement area while in zoomed in mode it's not a big problem.

If they keep building placement it should be made more obvious that you're in "place building mode". Hihglight the building maybe and flash a message across the screen or zoom in on the city. Also when you have city icons turned on it's quite hard to place buildings because the city icon blocks a big part of the placement area. Would be great if the city icon was temporarily removed during building placement.

[quote who="FroBodine" reply="32" id="2809654"]I gotta keep asking. Please, please please add the ability to invert camera X and Y. Inverting camera x and y is what I would like, and the thing I would like is to be able to invert camera X and Y. Z shall not be considered, nor shall the number 5 play into it. X and Y, baby, X and Y. Thank you. x and y [/quote] Yes! This one, please. Should be easy to do and I can avoid h

I like the basic idea but it sounds like the upkeep and ways to generate mana would make mana generation a bit too slow, especially if you're in a serious war. Maybe there will be additional ways to boost generation, though. Also this certainly makes children quite valuable since I assume they won't have an upkeep. Maybe they will even generate mana. In order to give non-imbued champions more personality I would suggest giving them more interesting special abilities, escp

As mentioned in another thread this must be the problem (from RangedAttackSpells.xml): BasicBowAttack and BasicCatapultAttack has this: Calculate InternalName =" MineValue " ValueOwner <span class="

[quote who="impinc" reply="1" id="2745998"]Yes, it has some problems here and there, but they dont affect me too much (if you have win 7 64 with an ati card, im sorry).[/quote] Just wanted to say that even win7 64 and ati gfx isn't necessarily the kiss of death. I have that setup and have decent performance (should be better with my rig though). I've had a single crash so far, unless I alt-tab that doesn't work. My secret may actually be that I have really old drivers.

Elemental has been on my radar for a while with a strong chance of purchase. This last gameplay preview sealed the deal. Pre-order! [e digicons]:D[/e]
