[quote who="seanw3" reply="78" id="3089227"]There is homeschooling where your mom teaches you from home and there is homeschooling where your mom buys you a bunch of high school level books and says, "you have a test in six months." It's not illegal because I passed the test every year. I taught myself from 4th to 8th grade and surpassed the state's expectations. I don't know what kind of social reinforcement I missed. Anyone care to enlighten me? It seems like everyone else here

There were already games like this out there, well similar. MP, one player built the base, others chose classes and went out to gather resources or battle enemy players in FPS manner. It was boring. And as an once dedicated Dota player (wc3 one) I am not interested in this kind of game. There is a reason why Dota is so popular and it is not because of "lack" of base building options.

What is a thief? Someone that break the law? Is the law same in all countries? Is taking something from others making everyone a thief by law in all cases? Did bankers get prosecuted for being thieves and causing the crisis all around the world? Did G.W. Bush get prosecuted for much worse stuff? I explained my reasoning and all of you may call it what you want. But the hard reality is many people are pirating stuff because they cannot afford it. You can call them thieves but

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="17" id="3088216"]Its a video game. They have the right to charge whatever they want for it. It's not robbery. you have the choice of not buying it. You don't have the right to their games for any reason. Sorry you live in a poorer nation, but making video games isn't charity work. It isn't a resource of life or death.

Why is everyone pirating our games?" they can only blame themselves. If we are treated as if we are going to rob them penniless then we will, it is just human nature. I love it when pirates try to justify their pirating. Quoting Lord Xia, reply 3 You can choose to purchase the right to play it, that's the start and

I loved how in AoW you could attack cities with more then one stack at the same time. But it probabaly is too late to add something like this to FE. Maybe give an attacking army some bonus on attack and hp/armor based on power of allied stacks within striking distance of enemy city? Or some raze ability that can only be used close to enemy city that robs that city of gold and maybe mana. Gold would cause you to lose troops as you cannot support them and mana would weaken the heroes as onc

I been playing Jagged Alliance Back in Action last few days while waiting for next beta patch for FE. Also I am playing Path of Exile beta a bit whenever a fun new patch comes but get bored fast each time.

So is xp also going to redistribute evenly with non-champion group members resulting in slower leveling of normal troops?

Since your champions with magic use your mana to cast spells what mana will neutral champions be using and will it be limited?

I like that real factions have more then customs can have with same traits. Custom factions have an ability to mix traits in any way they want and that is enough.

Apply making large profit does not make it the most important company to focus on. Research Nestle. Everyone else is small change compared to how many lost (mostly kid) lives are because of them.

Interesting. Why is this such a big deal all of the sudden? What about Nike and other companies like that? What about Nestle, the most evil company in the world? What about USA having wars here and there for economy reason nonstop from WWII? What about CIA helping USA companies in South America (banana trade for example)? And out of all of this people are focusing on Apple LOL

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="13" id="3075776"] Quoting Xadie, reply 12 In general I'm not so in favor in giving range weapons huge initiative mali. It would be nice to have a line of fire rule: if another enemy unit is in between the shooter and the target it will absorb the majority of the damage. With such a rule and Shields as a range weapon counter player can cover their vulnerable units. As long the Stardock people implement a limit for the number

They stack? Lol, and I though when enemy champion would cast Obscuring mist more then once that is was buggy AI and that he was awarding me free rounds :D

I noticed this bug in my second play day. In addition to it being a bug that allows spells to cost 0 mana, spell Mantle of Oceans is way to OP as it is. It needs a mana cost per turn and should not reduce cost by 50%. 25% tops for 1 mana upkeep. .

I my experience items are the biggest problem. The amount of goodie huts and defensive items you get from them is what makes you able to kill groups of deadly units with single heroes.

Lol? I died only once to random overpowered monster killing my first city together with all my troops. All the other games are about exploring and looking for easy kills and goodies at first and then killing stronger and stronger opponents. Oh and don't auto-resolve, you never want to auto-resolve until you got an unkillable lvl 20+ Hero.

Well tactical battles in MoM were not much better except they were balanced better. You could also get a group of heroes there to kill everything but it took longer to get there and they weren't as dominating as here. Now the question is if stardock aims to make a better tactical battle then 15 years old game.

The problem with what you propose is threesome: 1. Hit points represent more then just taking direct damage and living through it. It represents luck, stamina and barely deflecting blows. It represents flesh wounds and once you run out of HP you get stabbed and die. 2. RPG games mimic heroic movies and in those movies main character does not get a stray arrow through the eye. 3. Also high level characters don't exist in our world. There are stories of those that might have been, people lik

[quote who="luketan" reply="36" id="3069892"]Summary 1. AI sucks so you can kill it with pretty much magic or melee champions or units or pretty much any tactic. Cos the AI sucks, *every* tactic looks overpowered and you can just focus on 1 or 2 things... Btw this is true of almost every strategy game, it always makes more sense to specialize in one thing..and ignore the rest.. 2.Magic seems to be quite weak earlier but mid-level (with right traits + items) or late in th

I had this happen in my games as well. It also happened to me and I could do nothing to stop it (had all my troops in town). Wandering beasts need to be toned down.

OK, lets continue: 10. I got a big complaint about hero/units/techs balance. Heroes are the only thing that you need to win. Units/tech take way too long to build to be a viable way of playing. Yes, I could probably swarm other players with mass of low level units BUT a big part of this game is about clearing monsters and even those swarms are pointless to use against them. By the time you get better units through tech your heroes are a much bigger level and monsters are again immune

Mana system as it is now is pretty broken. Non mages cast spells at too high a cost while for mages once you get two mana cost talents + water spell for reducing mana cost casting spells become almost free.
