Its hard to unwrap your brain from building cities, but if you get the notion to try something different, go this route. 1.) Don't build a city. 2.) Don't take over a city unless your just seeing how tough your guys are. If you do just let it be. destroy it if the AI come back for it. 3.) Dont save for your first 20-30 turns just to see if you make bad decisions. turn 50 - 200 just go and muck up the world. 4.) Make sure
it may be auto save related. I turned it off and seemed to not happen again. tell me where and how. never cared to try it. Oh, and playing Mario World as a beast lord without settling a city is pretty fun if no one has tried it.
wow, good to know Im not alone. 31 or 32 I think. Whats D&D? (kidn) started really getting into games and numbers after I learned that you shouldn't try and make more room on the hard drive for games by typing in (C:/del win) in the command prompt.
Not sure of the cause. If it can help you find an error log. 2 of them about 9:30 and 9:50 pm EST under this user. I was logged in. I created a mario-bro's faction and went without making cities. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but... At the end of the turn, when I have an enemy selected to view their stats for the next turn,... and then hit the turn button, I've gotten 2 instances of the AI army's size doubling in the army view
Try running the game as Administrator. Someone mentioned that may fix the issue. Sounds wonky, but they said it worked.
Im gonna say nope, and... nope again. I just finished (without actually finishing) to my liking. The only road problems I ran into was 4x4 roads, and early on the AI did not want to take the roads. For some reason they thought going along side the hills was a quicker route. A hint. Dont link your city to any other AI capital until you know exactly where the the road is going to be. The road leads directly to your capital. Not a good
essence is the bottom blue number when settling. Use a spell out of your spell book to put it to use. If your founding city has it that is. If your first city does not you may want to start a new game Ctrl-N until you get one. Will help you figure it out.
I clicked on the wrong forum, but I actually have some advice for you if you want it. If you can get someones old piano, the little monsters with real strings go for it. People are giving them away. That takes the temptation out of a child, or daughter in your case, to learn from the electronic keyboard's display. If that doesnt work out, go for any electronic keyboard. Dont spend a lot of money. 100~200 should do you, especially if you dont know a wh
I think it was made as a spell to effect the targets magic resist first. Doesn't seem to be worded correct, the the function/effect of the spell is worth the mana cost though. Dont not use it if it makes sense in the situation. It's been handy for me. But everyone is correct. The damage is not what is told up front. I think its an idea for a spell that didnt get finished. Still a good one.
OK,... Whomever put this guy in the game is a nut-job!!! I just so happened to be studying my surroundings for a path to take and got lucky I seen this MONSTER! before it was to late. Love it! Kudios to whoever came up with that one. Please, If you've seen him, don't comment and spoil. He's not in the hergamemnon, or however you spell it. This one guy is going to take me at least an hour to get ready for, if not longer. 
I dont have much of a problem with the diplomacy in general. I know it will be worked on for a couple years. But a piece of your gold only being worth 1/2 piece of gold in a trade is a little whacky. That just blows the whole cover off the AI. A couple points off the top in tech trading is cool, but dont tell me my golds only 50% pure. That only pooped up in the last couple betas.
oh come on someone. back me up here.
Its points. Its not real intuitive at the beginning. Say you find a lost library for +20 point research. Its the same thing when your trading. Your giving them x number of points towards their research and you are getting x in return. Even if they are in the same branch of the tree. Ill edit this as I think of more. Thats a quick answer. so ill give you 20 in civics for 20 of yours in civics. even though the AI is way ah
Wow partner. You went through the Pythagorean thermometer and into the the color coded spectrum of everyone. What was that all about? I'm arrogant, abusive to the word "everyone" and demeaning to each and every player that is not everyone. Ill just take your word for it. Lighten up a bit. You quoted me out of context. I'll say it more plainly this time. You wont see line of sight combat in this game. Its more or less a give
Never needed to ask this before but I just ran into the situation where I can. Could every sov and champ get an unarmed "weapon". Its a fist icon/weapon you cant sell or trade. The normal dagger you equip now is +4 initiative and 6 cutting 1 crit and something else. Any way for a 2x blunt for bare fisted with a +6 or more initiative, plus whatever rings and jewelry you may have? Not sure how the AI would look at that in terms of its options. I just wa
Whatever frog just said....... Thats the funniest thing you've ever typed. Quick one here. Im Magnar at the moment getting everything I throw out getting handed back at me in style. I wanted to raise his initiative, but had to equip a dagger to get the best #s. Could we get a init boost for going bare handed? I think I seen some leather arm guards that gave +5 fire attack. Would that include a bare handed strike? I just want him to s
I love the post! This aint no Love Boat. I personally have never won a game. To me its not even the point. I've never seen a "You Won" screen in 2 years. I play until its either getting to easy to steamroll, or all hope is lost. I take a wonderful beating the whole time getting to either point. I wouldn't call any game with this many numbered interactions "casual" by any means. If easy is not enjoyable, I feel for ya. Lots of g
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="15" id="3259817"]And notice the Quarter-to-Three piece[/quote] Yeah, cant take much from that review. Took longer to come up with the words for the review than to play it. It literally took me a year to figure out why I like this game so much. 50 hrs? I've spent more than 50 hrs making and eating sandwiches at game breaks during this beta. 2 full days. Eh,... That's nothing. 50 Hrs =
[quote who="seanw3" reply="9" id="3259835"]Did you just increase the AI Value for strategic damage spells? Or did you do some code magics?[/quote] Did you read that post about him reading up on french and russian forums looking for how people tried to defeat his AI. You think the log-in at Ctrl-Tab is just pretty? He's got your game being recorded. I was 100% convinced after 1.0 started out at easy. Easy? What game starts out at easy?
[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="1" id="3259672"]Cruel draconians? Has he ever played Magnar, I wonder, in all the 50 hours he spent on FE? [/quote] I actually never played magnar in the beta on purpose. I'm having a blast and getting creamed at the same time. That guys a good writer and some of the stings are just how he words things. It was definitely honest. I dont agree with the story part being poorly written. I think its written well
Im going to go out on a limb here and say... we'll never get line of sight tactical unless/until they put out a human v.s. human version of the game. Way to many ways to exploit the AI when you can hide, but the AI haven't figured out how to. Cover is a huge issue even for monster budget games. Either way, arrows can be lobbed, and magic,... well its magic. Im sure if it can turn you into a toad, it c
Thanks! I didnt want the monster sledge from dude, I just wanted his shield. Good for me it gave me the sledge because now I'm getting my butt beat and the sledge is coming in mighty handy. If anyone wants to mention this somewhere. The Cull the Weak is a little overpowered if you know how to use it. I wont say how. You both should know. It should have at least a turn or 2 cool down timer. My only 2 champs have it and it
For some reason I dont know this. Is the loot you get from an unrecruited champ a set item, or is it random one from his/her inv?
WHAT?... Why!? Some people have to run the game as an admin to see the tree's? What on earth had you stumble on that fix. Really, I'm curious.
Its currently used to slow the enemy (with forest) or speed you up when entering or exiting a town without roads. Previously clearing was used to add to material, like mana is, but they took that out for good reasons. Maybe it comes back as a boost to materials at some point, but for now it can actually help you defend the back side of your town and give you a turn or 2 warning that someone is a comn' knockn'. So dont go destroying the forest around you until you kno
