[e digicons]O:)[/e] For some random events on the lower side of things: -Volcano erruption- a mountain errupts like the volcano spell. The erruption itself could be preceded by tremors and/or a smoke effect if it is within say 4 s

Catsplosion/Plague of...- along similar lines to the zombie one, lots of cat creatures (or creatures of another type) spawn the monster's regular aggression levels could remain the same (ie likelyhood of attacking cities) and have them behave normally (or put the world at seige where they attack everything of a different type) Crusade of the Coveted- essentially a holy grail quest a random item of any type is added to one of the goodie huts/monster loot tables

Event suggestions: Zombiepacolypse- Age of Haunted Nights/Walking Death World anouncement- 'The dead become restless.' or something to that effect perhaps triggered after x number of turns, combats or humanoid units are slain. Numerous nodes spawn that kick out butchermen (since they have that kill and make more unit ability). These enemies attack everything, cities, monsters etc. This can allow some of them to group up to bigger numbers when

A minor tweak I would like to see is having the faction symbol on a banner (larger or at ratio to the figure) behind the sov when you found your first city. For naval stuff I would like to see some kind of use for coastal tiles (fishing, gathering). For anything beyond that unless you can come up with a satisfying naval combat Id use it as path of advancement for a financially strong coastal city. The oceans beyond x spaces from the shore could also be made

I was playing Yithril and lost my capital to a rouge monster stack. Though in their defense I didnt really have a heavy defending force (and my sov was out curbstomping Pricy for messing with me) my sov was too far away to make it back to help. I think it was forced out of its den by kraxis who had a border nearby. I do gotta say though that the maul ability on the bears can be pretty nasty when you are lower level. I think I've seen a chain as lon

Maybe just nudge their y axis scaling to make them shorter (and more burly if the skins can stretch to accomodate it. Perhaps pale and hairy (heat retention and lower sun exposure)- perhaps 'big hair' for a cultural/genetic difference, craggy rock, rocklike skin or rough complexions could also be used depending on the level of medling the titans did. A similar concept may be usable to adjust the 'body builds' of the general units of other groups (for a more frail o

i ran into that yesterday (now that my pc is running i can actually play the beta). Thats the way it would seem from the progression of events (i picked the option of the sword as well) as the sword option response was kind of threatening in tone- something like 'you'd better give me what i was promised.' The part that had me scratching my head a bit is that the hunter guy (aside from seeming to take offence at me not taking just money instead) was the party he had wit

Sounds sort of like a round robin play thru done with dwarf fortress. (ie Boatmurdered- a recommended read for the humor if nothing else) It could have some interesting potential when you look thru the history to see the different ruling styles and how they impact the civilization.

As the art assets are going to be mostly the same, will player made tile designs, spell effects and such be portable (ie will FE recognize or be able to reconstruct a tile/effect made in the current editors?).

Civil unrest is on the rise due to the economic redistribution of gildar, and unchecked spending by the mageocracy. We don't have enough diplomatic capital or governance options to counter-balance the penalties that have accrued on our prestige. This is having a trickle down effect on our production queues and resource capital. May have to rush a patch before

I'd recomend trying some of the mods already available to spruce up the game.

I like reading threads like this to see how different people would propose something should work. I suppose we'll have a better idea once we see more of how the new tree will work. I know that the change for refferencing weapons and armor perked my interest by allowing art assets to put to a greater range of use with less work (such as not needing to make a race specific copy of something when the body type is the same as a default unit). Another option would to be abl

Particularly with elemental being more single player focused the dungeons would be nice, they wouldnt be as practical in a multiplayer game. However I agree that they could be set up either as a random map of connected tiles, or a preset map, or even if your search is abstracted as say 5 tactical 'fights' in a row. there could be non-enemy things to interact with on the tactical screen. I'd have the multi-play work the same way as the main game, the map can det

Flaming land is cool. We'll have a use for that rainbow shift color sample in the couldron. ;) Otherwise some armogedon, fiery doom, meteor storm (im thinking the multi-strike meteor from Final Fantasy) thing could work, or something like a volcanic eruption (lava splater), or something evocative of Hell (rain of blood, from a lacerated sky...)

Crumble, crack or Erode may work for a dispell type effect (or one that reduces the number of charges remaining on countdown type effects) Usable words: polish, crystalize, sift, tumble, granulate, upheaval, sink hole, rut, plow, fortifiy(?), stuff to do with metal like shear, bend, break, rivet, dull, lusture

Some arial themed name options- Guardian wing- Garuda Wing (wing for air themed shelter, garuda as an air based monster/beast/diety thing- could be something lore related that would work better) Anti-archer effects: Crosswind, Downdraft (could be applied to target flying creatures instead), or something to do with preassure or humidity? updraft (pro range of attack or movement, especially for flying units) slipstream or draft (as in car racing)- for a movement

A charmed unit would still have to be targetable by your other units (incase its the last enemy standing) and in that case would it counter attack? or break the charm when attacked by one of your units?

Limiting the range (or scalling cost to range) would be anouther option for nerfing teleport to more manageable levels. I don't find myself using it very often anyway,usually the return spell is enough for me- and is usually used to shorten travel time for my exploring sov.

Perhaps for the second version be paranoia's virtue or something? I suppose it depends on if you want it related to the concept or a creature/person named Paranoia. For the concept it would be the realization that moderation of your paranoia makes it healthy instead of unhealthy. Maybe as an optional trigger it could be turned when you sucessfully perfom certain diplomatic actions while under it's influence? A mild form for something life themed would be antibiotics or a

'Yer ah Druid 'Arry!' [e digicons]O:)[/e] Druids or Rangers I guess? Green Peace faction? I'd be more motivated to save the rainforests if Smokey Bear was breathing down my neck. All jesting aside, I do like it thematicly- and it looks like its more fleshed out in your nature book thread with even more cool stuff. Would the High Grass also boost that units dodge vs. attacks targeting them?

Not so much not liking them as ensuring that the wielder of the Nature book is going to have some pretty good air superiority going for them if they have archers. Like the Tarth...? edit: Regarding the giant bear he could be Roxar son of Roxbin. His heart is big too. ;)

You make a good point on that. There wouldn't be any point to any kind of trasport if the cost and effectiveness of teleportation out stretches it. The people would eventually evolve into teleporting turrets, like those daylek things on Dr. Who. 'Now in this new age of magic, my people, you no longer have to leave your bed, all things can be brought to you directly with my power!'-sovreign via telepathic projection. All of their units would have 0 fo

Not sure, but if it could be set up, you could have the hedge wall end their turn when they enter it, and have them as not targetable while in it (which would make an interesting additional defensive option- not sure if the damage is too much or not) definitely a cool spell. Also the tree shield could be renamed something like Heartwood Canopy, as the canopy would be the part to provide the majority of the protection from ranged attacks. Im guessing that spells are a different ca

One thing I'd like to see in a customizable unit is a scale-able cube. You apply a source image with the right size and file type and each face of the cube would show that image (probably much easier than projecting the image so it is always facing the user. It would work as a place holder. Say you want to add a chimera, a minotaur, some freaky floating eye thing, a slime monster or any of a number of things that don't have a model in-game that would be remotely

Maybe start with the existing tech tree (such that it is) mapped out for each section and then see about making altered connections/paths thru it? Perhaps you start from a few base techs and then can branch out from there? Maybe each node connection of a given tier is x number of research points (vs the current field of research thing) that would keep it still diferent from the normal x points to a tech that most use. Or you could build of the existing tree as a base.
