Derek - upon killing units they are sometimes not clearing from the strategic map upon death. This also occured when I took an enemy faction capital - the units I killed in the city popped up outside. You cannot click on them or anything. End turn clears as well as a reload.

Brad - Season 45 of a real 1.19d game. Capitar FP is 5 and 1 city. Something is definitely broke with this faction as they were killed by monsters in my test analysis. Good news: Pariden is currently highest in the game with 3 cities and 42 FP so whatever caused them to act silly (i.e. pop lock) in the test analysis obviously didn't recur here. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19969679/Elemental/119d/45.EleSav <p
I understand what you are saying. Come join us here and help prove to Brad what needs to improve: https://forums.elementalgame.com/404541 . That stickied thread was a direct response to Brad asking the community to step up regarding AI complaints. Instead of making generalizations such as "the AI sucks", Brad asked we provide concrete examples. I can tell you that the SD crew has met us halfway - our efforts are bearing fruit in the
[quote who="impinc" reply="51" id="2894970"]Curious for some feedback here. Do you think the Sovereigns should start with the unique armor and weapons, or should you have to research through the tree to get them? If so, should they just be in the normal warfare tech tree, or do we dip into other tech trees? [/quote] Is there a way to force cross-tree requirements (i.e. need level 5 in civ and level 2 in warfare)? Just curious. Warning: the AI
Posted 1.19d Strategic AI analysis here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/405730 In short, good progress from patch to patch but hero love is lacking. Although the AI is doing a pretty good job of normal unit design and creation, it's not functioning anywhere near to a player regarding heroes. A player would, at a macro level, rock out their sovereign, spouse, and champions and let normal units be a lower build priority, primarily

Stupid ninny must have tripped, hit his head, and then got eaten by a bear. Pariden was acting completely retarded in two ways: spouse was sitting on a city but not in a city until season 48 and they looked completely pop loc

Brad - note this season 218 save. Magnar placed his semi-geared sovereign within range of my 6-hero stack on the eastern front (between my Food7 and Magnar's Odoma). Despite having several large and competitive normal stacks nearby, he's left his sov completely undefended and all I need to do is move in for the kill. This single decision isn't a game-ender as he'll survive and respawn in Odoma. But I could pursue him there next turn and end it. Please review the gearing and suicidal tendencie
Valid question. I never build them in my games for the reasons you mentioned.

I too run into issues with gear swaps related to items that champions start with. For example, switching out leather greaves for traveling boots (that the champion started with) will cause stats to not update, etc. It doesn't happen all the time but there's certainly something buggy going on. I have not noticed it on purchased gear (i.e. buy both leather greaves and traveling boots swaps). A reload corrects the issue so posting a save doesn't help although if I see it again I'll post a p

Brad - Season 208 of the 1.19c real game. I have yet to turn my attention to Magnar but Capitar is now dead (put them out of their misery) and cleaning up remaining wastelands before turning my attention to Magnar and the rest of the map. My mid to end game steamroll is about to begin. Please look at my 4 hero stack near the Food7 settlement and the latest weak Magnar stack sent my way. Power of my stack is 152 while his is 72. The fact they are building quality units is goo

Once 1.2 is done, then 1.3 will primarily be about new features, some of which might get put into Fallen Enchantress too depending on the relevance. For 1.3, we're looking at adding: 1.
