[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="18" id="3259596"]ICS does not work, because you run into growth issues. But you do need at least 4-5 cities in the first 50 turns is you want to be competitive with Ridiculous AI. I assume you needs less if you are playing on lower difficulties. That said, I usually win my games by turn 150-200, and by then I have 20-30 cities. Most come through conquest, though. I have found that I cannot afford to avoid settling near BBs (B

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="9" id="3259570"]You need a race that has Enchanters, and The Decalon. It's a bug. Derek's already mentioned it will be fixed in the future.[/quote] so you have to be an exact copy of pariden. lol. Yay for customization? Edit: Its in the 1.01 changelog as fixed.

Wait i See.. it requires a tech, but you don't get the tech as on option when your using a custom faction/sov. So that option is pretty much broken on custom factions..
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="12" id="3259542"]Out of curiousity Fistalis, what world difficulty / AI difficulty are you playing at? I do not play the way Tuidjy plays, because he plays on riduculous or higher a lot and needs to min / max to be competitive. I myself play on challenging a lot of the time and find the game just about right for me. I don't care for the AI to join up the way they do, it's annoying at best. (Also, if you find yourself with what you feel is a &

[quote who="cardinaldirection" reply="10" id="3259517"]Frog: "Well the AI doesn't get to complete quests automatically. They simulate the quest (rolling the dice) and they aren't allowed to go on tons of quests like you humans are! And they don't get to save games. What you're seeing is the tirene taking out a battleship roll. Blame old man Paxton for letting the AI go get dragons from quests or what have you. XML controls whether the AI is allowed
[quote who="Martimus" reply="8" id="3259477"]one thing you can do is to take the offensive against the weaker nations that declared war on you. This makes you stronger while you take their resources and cities and allows you to create more fighters. use these extra resources to take more cities from the weaker nations until you get strong enough to hold off the main enemies. Once this happens, you can usually turn the tide of the war slowly but surely. that is how
[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="5" id="3259389"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 3you get a dragon running amok in your territory on turn 30 and you cant do anything so you end up having to restart or play the inevitable loss, And the fact that Mage type sov/heros are at an extreme disadvantage compared to melee types. I have taken down dragons on turn 37, and it was by using one of these 'extremely disadvantaged' mages. That said, my side was designed for it

And you won't know that without the reviews. Generally speaking movies
In my experience there is no peace. One AI will inevitably declare war on you, and have 80% of the other AI friended on facebook so they declare war as well. Even if they are weaker than you they will jump in and it ends up being you vs most of the AI. Doesn't really matter how friendly you think you are.. the AI is always better friends with the AI. This is one of my biggest complaints so far. Off topic: my other complaints are the pu

[quote who="Bellack" reply="30" id="3259149"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 13Personally I think aggregate scores are silly and anyone who bases a purchase on them has either too much money or not enough cognative function. Of course user reviews are even worse. How do you review products before buying them if you don't get a sneak peak first? You look and user reviews which are the best way to judge any product from a Movie, Washe

I don't know if its the best game of 2012. But considering that "Game of the year" is nothing but a marketing ploy and is given to like half of games released each year.. sure FE can get one.

Humans, humans, pathfinding humans, magical humans, humans, ugly fighting humans, enslaving humans, ghost humans (that one is actually the only on OK). What did you do to the poor guy?
