No, Lord Xia knows about this, but does not like it, has successfully lobbied to cripple snaking, and does not use it. He and I do not see eye to to eye on this one. Stop trying to turn everything into a fight. Seriously
I would love to see those in Fallen Enchantress. Everything the OP listed sounds like fun, and I hope the developers bring some of them in the game via extension packs, etc... BUT. I am damn glad that Stardock chose not to work on them until release. We have enough bugs as it is. This game has to fight for survival after the Elemental debacle. Once it gets a community these things will be welcome. Honestly, I am still worried that Fallen Enchantress w
[quote who="harmonius_" reply="17" id="3263133"]With latest loot nerf it is hard to find good weapon. So +20 attack is very valuable now.[/quote] That's the warrior's saving grace, but if you do not reload, the trait gets lost in the deluge of Resistance/Brute/Bruiser/yada yada. With an assassin, I can usually pick traits I like - double attack, sweep, dodge+, critical+, shadow strike+ those are all good, and you get some of them. If the warriors had a garanteed
Do you have the icons I pointed to in my post? Can you post a screenshot of a city's detail screen? Does the enemy have default defenders? can you give us a save? I'm amazed that no one else has ever observed this.
Turn 83-91 Turn 83: Raven's heart: well->mill. Blackstead: sage->cloister. Hagudst: sage->mill. Procipinee finds a compass, and ends the turn next to yet another group of skaths. A mistake, because her troops are badly beat up, and I should have not moved multiple tiles at once when I knew I'll end on a river. Turn 84: The skaths attack, but
[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="105" id="3262983"] Quoting catwhowalksbyhimself, reply 103I'm wondering if for some reason the gold used by the AI to rush things isn't being subtracted from his total gold? That would explain the constant rushing. That would be quite the bug if it was true. Could anyone confirm?[/quote] Confirm what? This thread states it out clearly, and I have the save games to prove it. The AI rushes for free on challenging
When I look back at my games, I see that if I count my champions, their frequency goes like this (most to least) Assassins > Mages > Governors > Warriors > Defenders I have no use for defenders, because I want my fighters to deal damage. I may have too many governors, but that's because I play very aggressively, and spawn a ton of cities. The governors are invaluable to keep occupied cities producing and are great at leading armies. They get
GaelicVigil , Kalin and Lord Xia are two of the long time players, and you can learn a lot from them. Every city is supposed to have defenders that you can only see in action when it's attacked, or you can check out in the detail window, on the left, above the buildings, above the city level. I'll attach a picture in a few minutes. <img src=
I use always spears or bows but with three exceptions: 1. Heroes (you are a lot more likely to find a great sword than a great pike/lance) 2. My first unit if I am not playing with "Defensive" and if I need it for tying up enemies and absorbing damage. (i.e. I'm playing a wussy sovereign like Procipinee or Ceresa) 3. If do not have "Defensive", but have "Lucky" and am building an "Elusive" unit. Then I want the shield for the dodge bonus.
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="2" id="3263023"]Am I way off base and see growth and growth increasing stuff as fairly pointless, at least in the early game, seems like they are stuck at level 2 cities due to food almost always. And then after building lots of food items and research they might get to 3 or 4, but it's not growth that's keeping them low, it's food. [/quote] [quote who="Kalin" reply="3" id="3263045"]I also agree that early game, growth infrastructure is fairly
[quote who="petrasvu" reply="1" id="3262942"]Now it impacts money gain (guildars) and research.[/quote] I have not noticed this, unless you mean that city level impacts research (+1, +2, +4, etc...) and I guess income. But if that's what you mean, then it impacts production as well. In my opinion, population right now does not play enough of a role, and as a result, the most effective strategy is to have a ton of level 2 cities... Well, if they somehow grow beyond th
I first reported this is .913 One day it may get fixed. For now enjoy... and think of the days where these enchantments included three stacked "tireless march" and ten stacked "burning blades".
I won't comment on this thread until I see a picture or save that shows me the AI difficulty. I am not saying that we are necessarily being trolled, but if the AIs are not insane, this thread would be a waste of time.
Julia, I would still like to see a screenshot of the detail screen of an enemy sovereign. That is, select an enemy sovereign, click on the circle in the low left hand corner which displays his portrait, and take a screenshot of his/her stats. You get a screenshot by pressing [Print Screen] on your keyboard. The .jpg file will end up in the My Games\FallenEnchantress\ScreenShots subfolder of your Documents folder.
Sparkles are all she's got going for her, allow her that last glamor. Build a shrine to inefficiency at the spot, and tithe regularly, so it stays there.
[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="2" id="3262845"]The 10% are the good-for-nothing that will be stirring trouble as long as there's no watchmen to kick their ass.[/quote] When your taxes are set to none, 10% of the citizens are still marching up and down Main Street, protesting the absence of government services and places of worship. I.e. no matter how low your taxes, you still get 10% unrest. You need a bell tower/tower of dominion/something to reduce it to zero.
I have never ran out of metal is a game of mine. I run out of crystal pretty much every game, even after I stopped selling crystal to AIs to finance early wars. But staff units are easily countered by heroes (my tanks all sport 100% resistances) and even with units if you want to design them for a particular resistance. I have never put champion armor on a troop that actually made it to the frontlines, and to upgrade to it is idiotically expensive, but on paper, they would be aw
Are you sure you are not seeing the 10% from "No taxes" or the effects of an enemy enchantment? The 10% are the good-for-nothing that will be stirring trouble as long as there's no watchmen to kick their ass. The enchantment effects are a known bug (or at least, a reported one) I watch these like a hawk, and have to see what you mention.
I suspect the success roll is buggy. The AI often wins quests that involve combat that is simply impossible for the AI's army to win in autoresolve or tactical. Not unlikely, plain impossible, like 0% chance even if the AI rolls the 3% to hit and the enemy rolls the 3% to miss.
If the OP has not made an honest mistake, and forgot to set the AIs to insane (which of course would totally cripple them against an insane world) here is what may be happening: 1. In the beginning, the AIs were still expanding, and thus peaceful. 2. The setting is "epic" which I have never played, but very likely it has slowed down the AI a lot, and they feel they are not ready for war. 3. By using his sovereign's advantages, the player got a ton of high level her
One approach is to play a build that can handle really dangerous beasties very early. My favorite for this is Krax blood + Dodging assassin + Blindness. Another is to conquer the first AI you encounter. Get them early enough, and it's not that hard.
Extra dodge - it shines so brightly the attacker is dazzled and misses more :-)
As long as we are wishing, I would want to also see what path the unit will take before it moves.
I love to see how other people play, and this format really works. Thanks for posting. By the way, you are absolutely right, binding trumps 100 eyes, and x/5/1 was the right choice for the starting city. Good luck with the game... and before you fight any AI troops, take a GOOD look at their traits. If you have not played ridiculous before, you may be surprised by what you see.
[quote who="taltamir" reply="16" id="3262526"]Last I checked, you rarely have only 1 spot you can settle. So its your choice what resources you prioritize. A 3x3 array is 9 spots with 9 different sets of resources.[/quote] You are generally correct that essence trumps materials, but I sometimes deviate from that rule for my first city. Nowadays, I play mostly Emperors with Death and Water, and Kings with Earth and Water. Emperors will take a x/4/1 before a x/3/2, and K
