SD really pulled back from what snaking used to be in the betas. They didn't want to have the player gain an advantage over the AI by being able to snake out to resources like Forests and Rivers for extra bonuses. Many of the community still appriciate the snaking concept and utilize Parrotmath's snaking mod: https://forums.elementalgame.com/444851/page/7/#3399218
[quote who="sjaminei" reply="2" id="3399275"]That has happened to me as well. Highly annoying. (in my case last minute defense against AI) I think it's something to do with timing etc. [/quote] You could be right. I tossed the troops into the city right before the attack. It's possible, though I don't know the code, that the program worked in the background and determined the attack while I was playing out my turn....registered that
The Campaign from Fallen Enchantress is being added to Legendary Heroes in the upcoming 1.4 update. As for the sandbox mode, there are several different elements to the play style. Examples are: Heroes are attained through Fame (a new resource) instead of found scattered around the map Each weapon type has a different special attack Encumbrance has been stripped away from armor Influence has been stripped away.
Two balance items: The Summoned Wisp: I think the wisp is quite powerful. Imo, the flavor and feel of a wisp should be frail, mystical, elusive... and well, a bit of a trickster. Currently, the existing wisp is pretty tanky and can even dish out quite the punishment in the form of attack damage. With the healing spell it also has, this creature seems to be too much for it's current location in the trait tree. I recommend the fo
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="163" id="3399214"]Thanks for the updates. I fixed some of these errors above. About the wisp and the lightbringer, those are part of the main game (not my mods). edit: I still cannot locate the Unit_Altarian_AI12a that has me baffled. [/quote] kk. I'll recommend balance changes in 1.4 then.
Update 2 Still playing my modded game. Settled a city right beside an Underdroth Lair (I know...not the smartest thing), but I figured I'd toss in 5 units into the city for defense and be able to squeek out a win if the Underdroth attacks. Only thing is my troops DON"T show up for battle! The city militia is there...and get the butts whooped. Afterwards, the city is sacked and all my troops that were SUPPOSE to defend, get moved to an adjacent tile. Pretty su
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="160" id="3399026"] Quoting parrottmath, reply 159 Yes, I do see Unit_Air_Summoner_Krax but I do not see Air_Summoner_Krax The unit is dropped off in your debug.err file. I do see the problem, you have the Old FE version of the unit installed instead of the LH version. I did a different internal name to catch some issues that people may have between the two versions (like this one). I think if you update
[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Added the Slam ability (monsters with this ability get a 25% to cause victims they attack to lose their next turn). [/quote] umm....does that mean that all the existing creatures are getting an overhaul if Slam is to be warrented? or does that mean that only the few new creatures added to the game in 1.4 will have Slam? EDIT: nevermind. XD reading is tech. Though, the earth e
[quote who="StevenAus" reply="15" id="3399001"] Also, I noticed in a recent game that the Air Elemental Scroll costs mana to summon the Air Elemental. Why is that? If I recall correctly, Fireball Scrolls and Wellspring Scrolls do not cost mana to cast. I don't think the other Elemental summons do either. Seems like an odd ball in that scrolls are loot or purchasable items and should not require mana to cast. Is it possible that a mod does this? I have the same

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="157" id="3398922"]Nope, not from my Summoner Units Mod.. I've checked several of my mods, but I don't have those internal names. I'm assuming the first came from my Armor Attributes mod, but I don't use AI12a... The other Summoner units would only come from my Summoning units mod. Could you check the files and see what mod has those units. (I just cannot find it with all of my files) [/quote] I am finding the unit names "
[quote who="SpankTheMonkey" reply="2" id="3398900"] Yeah it is a game issue. Happens to me all the time. The cursor still functions, you just have to figure out where to click (usually the upper left portion of whatever icon you have, hourglass, crossed swords, etc.). [/quote] +1
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="155" id="3398916"]I looked deeper on the warnings, and these warnings are for units that are not even in my mods. Unit_Altarian_AI12a -- doesn't exist in my armor-attribute mod (latest version) I do have Unit_Altarian_AI12d. Same with the Fire_Summoner_Altarian my version states Unit_Fire_Summoner_Altarian I think you may have some rogue files sitting in your mods directory or something fishy is happeni
Good Morning Parrotmath I've been looking at my debug.err file ( https://forums.elementalgame.com/448508/page/1/ ), and I've noticed an interesting warning upon loading of the game that I believe is associated with your Binding mod.

Good Morning I'm on a mission for a bit here. FE:LH 1.3 ends up crashing on my computer from time to time and I'm not quite sure why. To further my understanding, perhaps narrowing down towards the culprit of the crash, I am going to post 2 debug.err files. They both are only of the game's load, ei: to the main menu screen. The first is without mods enabled. The second is with mods enabled. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkw3
[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="19" id="3398819"]The fix is so easy and it would put this discussion to rest immediately. Just like Civ, cities should not grow while there is a pioneer in the queue. FIXED! [/quote] That may not be an easy thing to do... but that would definately fix the problem. Arguably, the pioneer would then not require the population cost it currently has as it would be embedded through the turn in which your city is not growing...th

Recommend Parrotmath's Armormilitia mod for you. Gives city defenders armor, one set weaker than the one you have tech'd out.
True dat. +1 Though, I am still bias towards the idea of having the rampaged city turn into a lair for said monster until you are able to put together some forces and go back in to reclaim your city. (works well with wildlands expanding too...hint hint.) ;) Also, need to be careful when it comes to destroying buildings. There are still cases where destroying the building does not destroy the building's effect. Thus you could find yourself in a

[quote who="Illauna" reply="5" id="3398386"]I just started a new game today with an interesting scenario. I started on a peninsula (located on the southwest corner) with with a 3/3/2 for my starting city and space for 1 other city to my west. I went east and found out I'm blocked off by 2 AIs. So it looks like I need to fight my way out of this. This will be fun since my custom faction is designed for war. [/quote] That does sound like fun. Good luck and hopefully
[quote who="Sanati" reply="6" id="3397717"] The AI being stupid is why I've kicked the minimum yield requirement up from 6 to 8 in my ElementalDefs. [/quote] How has this worked out for you? Have you found that the AI has fewer cities overall, or are they actually building fewer pioneers and aiming there efforts at the better tile locations???
While the defense side of things is not possible, the offense side of things is basically done in the swarm bonus.
