[quote who="bpalczewski" reply="26" id="3332098"]I am not sure it will be a problem - as I understand, it is not easy to get many heroes now, since they join you when you get enough fame. Thus, it can be that heroes are far more rare and, perhaps, more powerful than in FE, and stack of doom are to make. [/quote] This is why I'm keeping an open mind.
One of the Fortress level-up choice lines should be a city defender gear and ability upgrade.
[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="23" id="3332072"] Yes, the Accuracy penalty is now correctly applied to Double Strike.[/quote] Did you make an IsMeleeAttack tag for SpellDef?
[quote]XP isn't divided if you have multiple champions in an army anymore.[/quote] I'll keep an open mind on this, but...
I'm assuming they're considered melee. Not really sure.
[quote who="Dhuran" reply="3" id="3331952"] Cool! Out of curiosity, how are you determining if a unit is a melee unit or not?[/quote] Probably by the weapon that's equipped.
'Easier' was probably a poor choice of word. And I know nothing about coding. All speculation here.
It would probably be easier for them just to create some new tags, rather than open current tags up to calculation. Maybe something like this: Unit WhenStationedInCity XPForAllStationedUnits 1 1</Pe
Finally a LH sub-forum!
There are many problems with the lighting/shadows in FE that basically make it a 2d game with a 3d engine. Just look at your cities from a low angle on the 'shadowed side' of the building. It looks horrible; you never want to view the world from that angle - ever - and something about that is just not right. I'm not a huge proponent of cutting edge graphics in a strategy game. However, we're dealing with a 3d engine and these are issues which must be
[quote who="emmagine" reply="31" id="3331286"] I would very much like to be able to have governors alter the experience yield for troops in a city they are stationed in. [/quote] Do you mean the governor alters the XP of troops stationed in the same city in which the Governor is stationed, or that a governor alters XP for all stationed troops in all of your empire's cities? The former would require some new tags, while the latter may be able to be
I just purchased Endless Space a few days age and am loving it. Buy that game Frogboy and rip off the UI. Just steal it. Study it. Live it.
[quote who="Alstein" reply="4" id="3331483"]They need to improve the AI.[/quote] Maybe, but the AI is light years ahead of the Elemental franchise at this point. I only mention that because the original games (Civ 5 and WoM) released within a couple weeks of each other.
Here's a link to zephyrtr's Brave New World Sleuthing Post on the 2k Forums for more detailed information as it becomes available.
I only played the original AoW way back in the day, but as I recall that game and FE/LH can't really be compared. AoW was all about the magic and assailing your opponents. It is strategy lite and tactics heavy as I recall. FE/LH is kinda the opposite: strategy heavy and tactics lite. It is more of an empire builder than a tactical wargame. There is still along way to go in all aspects of the game (yes AI, I'm looking at you) but it is a nice game an
And in reality you can do quite a lot with a SpellDef. It doesn't have to be a 'spell' per se. It would be an improvement if they they made more GameModifier ModTypes and Attributes possible.
I really haven't used any mods in Civ 5 yet, I really like the base game as is. Haven't really played any MP either because I don't know anyone else that plays, and trying to join public games is a pain in the ass.

All we can do now is hope and wait. Like we've been doing for the last (almost) three years...
I don't think it can universally modded into the game at this point. the main reason it's not there is because the AI wouldn't be able to deal with it very well.
Can't argue with that.
I would just make it a high level (15+) skill at the end of a long ability tree. Can't really do much about 'chance' at this point. Hopefully in LH melee skills will at least work like a melee attack.
I think the AI should be somewhat adaptive, especially for 'intelligent' mobs. If a dragon flames a unit and it takes little or no damage it should be able to at least say "oh! i'll target that other feller next time!" I don't think that's too unreasonable of an expectation.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="64" id="3330652"]With all those undead, I hope they include a "turn undead" spell. Probably would work best as part of life magic.[/quote] If they don't include it I'll make it.
I like the idea of a strategic spell quick bar. [e digicons]:digichet:[/e]
