One more thing. I'd love an option to change projection from current (I don't know how it's called; people call it "top-down") to isometric. Tactical battles could benefit from that in terms of readability . I'd really like to see the screenshot from OP in isometric projection. Sorry for OT.

[quote who="Wizard1200" reply="26" id="3127207"]I think the crit chance should be removed and the difference between accuracy and dodge should result in a critical hit to make accuracy and dodge more powerful: An attack is a critical hit if: attack roll There could also be a critical miss : when you miss badly you loose some HP and/or you have your initiative tempora

I would like to make my PCs share their computing powers. It would be so cool!
I like the idea. I don't like it's graphical representation (second screenshot). Sub-tiles should be much smaller than the c ity hub. This lumber mill is enormous (or city hub is tiny)!
Speaking of Steam. Will FE be available on OnLive? I could play FE on my crappy PC!
[quote who="LNQ" reply="12" id="3114867"]I wouldn't mind some small buildings appearing outside the city tile when the city grows, in a purely cosmetic fashion.[/quote] My idea is mainly cosmetic, but not purely. There would be two kinds of buildings: normal and special. In one city you could build only very limited number of special ones.
I think there could be a reasonable compromise between current cities and one-tiled cities -- one-tiled cities with a few possible expansions. or All normal buildings (90% of buildings) would be built inside City tile. But there would be some special buildings (like University Campus, Military

They'll use the same engine, just enhance it (I hope for more smooth animations). They'll keep the same AD&D rules. They'll basically re-make the game with a slightly better graphics and more comfortable UI. At least I hope so. (I don't like every aspect of 2nd editi

Not very likely ;) They even say they would like to keep compatibility with mods. I don't believe they'll manage that, but if they're considering that option then it means the game will be almost the same (with refreshed UI, rendering and stuff). I like it.

Question: [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="127" id="3102605"]If the game was a five-dimensional portal, and one end was the sound of summer, and the other end was the colour of dreams, in what manner of time units would you describe the current state of the beta, mutatis mutandis?[/quote] Answer: 42.
I liked this in FFH 2: animals could be controlled by players and had hidden nationality (afair).
Did you know...? Microsoft Airplane 8 has two different and very specialized user interfaces. Pilot, in order to perform certain tasks, can smoothly switch between them with easy to learn mouse or hand gestures. For instance pitch can be controlled in the first UI (fun fact: it's called Subway ) and roll in the second. (Some headstrong pilots still try to find a way to control yaw. Actually it's being controlled by Cloud Autopi
