Based from what I've seen about the game so far, Stardock does not plan to have 'tatical tiles'. Hopefully I'm mistaken in that assessment though, as I would really love to see this feature added. It doesn't have to be complex. Just a few common tile types: Plains, Hills, Forest, Swamp, Road, Stone Wall, Fire Wall, Darkness Wall. Each having either modifiers to the combat....or specials associated with it.
[quote who="athelasloraiel" reply="20" id="3201653"]I would definitely buy it instantly were it on steam, so please get it up there as a preorder as soon as possible? Also, I was thinking about buyable DLCs that would enable those who want to help out Stardock financialy (I would easily pay 70˘for the game, but I recognize a lot of ppl wouldn't). So, Stardockians, please go with DLCs, but NEVER go with game breaking ones (in terms of money buying be

[quote who="Ichirou989" reply="3" id="3199867"]While I would like to see a bit smoother tech progression as well as some more techs, I think the biggest thing I would like to see would be to merge the three tech trees into just one tree. This would also allow one to see the whole tech situation and progression better as well as show more clearly the tech inter-relationships.

You're troops too, will have the movement restriction. Would be nice if you could cast a spell to create a tunnel through a mountain... aka Moria Alas, for movement to get an overhaul, I think FE's tatics needs an overhaul. It wouldn't be fai
[quote who="Kongdej" reply="9" id="3199081"] I Think firefly should actually try the game While your trading system looks... semi interesting its just another city you have to focus on another silly thing, and a longer way to travel with your "grab items heroes" that you decided to not level because they will spend all they're life running from shop to shop getting items for the sovereign... while this might sound interesting it ruins the feeling that heroes HAVE.. or
[quote quoting="post"] I realize FE is still in development, but at this point you guys probably have the major features set in stone. Here are some things I feel is missing from FE, and thus really should go into the sequel. Or you could read it as a list of things missing to take the game from "good" to "great" at release. 1) Sieges. The cooler this is the better the game will be. Mid- and late-game are all about capturing cities (at least it is right now beta3) so it needs

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="30" id="3198706"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 27 I am a REALLY big fan of how MoM accomplished terraforming. The spells were 'toggle' based. Spell A: Turn Plains to Hills OR Hills to Plains. Spell B: Turn Iron to Gold OR Gold to Iron Those sorts of things. Building Mountains or Sinking lands was never allowed and shouldn't be....too game warping. Then there were the chaos spells. Global spells that reall
Curious as to how the 'shop' mechanic works...as I have not yet played FE....waiting till beta 4 is released. So far, I visualize shopping as the following, as I totally think this would be a cool and dynamic way of portraying a shop mechanic: Naturally, each city has the ability to build (in beta 4) shops. Cities built as towns (as opposed to conclaves or forts) will gain additional bonuses to shops. They will be upgradable, as all districts will be an
Agreed. Tweak the ability. Don't cap it.

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="35" id="3197975"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 34 EED in-game prerequisites to be meet. Maybe a tech can't be researched unless your champ has reached a certain level....or until you have X cities....or perhaps until you've obtained a dragon's nest or unicorn grove or obtained a magic source.....stuff like that: RPG elements that push you along the game's story arc and open up tech possibilities along the way. <br
My preferance is to have 'interactive research'. I'll explain...and use Gal Civ 2 as an example of opposition since Stardock has a lot of experiance with that game. ;) First off, each new tech should IMPACT the game. I really like how you can research 'swordsmen' and 'axemen', each with unique abilities, instead of researching 'swordsmen +1' and 'swordmen +2'. The later is completely boring and without thought. GalCiv2 unfortunate

I don't think synergy of Champ with Champ is a good idea. Afterall, champs already get an XP penalty for joining up in the same group. To make matters worse, you only realize this fact AFTER the battle is done and XP is divided up. There should be some warning or icon denoting the limted XP that your champs are getting. What I do think is a good idea is to have some Champ types grant additional tatic bonus to differnet types of troops that are grouped with the
It's why you can't move to a more dependant windows OS. One day you privacy and ability will butt heads. If you can't work offline, you won't be online.
Well I support my own view... [e digicons]O:)[/e] ... I think going the middle of the road will both satisfy the majority as well as continue to make it fun and entertaining to play. It is fair to say that champions need to be immortal in order for the AI to continue to be challenging. It is also fair to say that the death of your champion could easily cause a reload, thus taking enjoyment out of the game. I believe that limiting the penalty and giving excuses as to your
I love the 'chess piece' style units. Gives you the feel that your pushing troops around the map in a war-room. Don'y really like the new cloth map that's on display....it looks way better than the original....I'll grant that....but it takes away from that war-room feeling. The similar map was better, imo. Nevertheless, Stardock put time and effort into upgrading their clothmap. Doubt they'll change back and in the end, I'll get used to it. (T
