changelog 0.92 posted. Has 'Book of Mastery' tech moved to 7th tech spot behind the 'Book of the Magi' I am already liking it and I haven't played it yet. XD

[quote who="davrovana" reply="10" id="3357486"]Brutal Yew Longbow is 33 attack. Give that to a high level assassin, and no one will complain about underpowered bows. The problem is, I have only ever seen it once. Too rare. [/quote] so, maybe it's not a matter of 'they're not good'....maybe it's more of 'there are not enough'

[quote who="abob101" reply="5" id="3357433"]I have a Druid Sov in my (wip) mod. I'm not a fan of posting info about mods until they're pretty much ready to go, but I kinda like this guy so here's my take. He's probably a bit cheesy for some but anyways. He has access to 2 new spell schools, "Nature" and "Beasts" that i'm working on, the Beastlord trait and access to a few specific abilities unique to his faction. No shapeshift though, can't thin

[quote quoting="post"]How can one, in a world such as 'Elemental' not have a Druid hero, I ask you this? Meditate, reflect on this you must. [/quote] I've seen this request several times from individuals and it does seem like a good request. Most likely this would work best as a DLC. However, what IS this Druid going to look like? Never have I seen what his abilities could look like, etc etc. Is he a summoner? Is he a weatherman? I

So now we're up to 3 bows being good. Any more?

One suggestion that Chris Taylor once told me (regarding giving feedback): Try to eliminate the word "need" from suggestion posts. That said, there's a lot of good stuff here. awww.... so mercs don't NEED rebalancing? Those Knights of Aso

[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="38" id="3357285"] I vote for a diplomacy expansion. Please. [/quote] yes. diplomacy expansion would be pretty sweet.

You can't break alliances?!? [e digicons]8C[/e] FAIL I agree that the tech victory should be as difficult to achieve as the conquest victory.

Could even go one step futher and introduce MoM's concept of a 'Summoning Circle' into the game. Include a spell that relocates it if desired, and you now have any city as the desired location to output summoned creatures and hired heros.

[quote who="id_est" reply="93" id="3356931"]So, any response from devs? This list is great by the way. [/quote] I did just read in another thread that Brad is still planning to go over UI items...and in the same sentence he mentioned that he reads all our ideas....so I'm betting these items have all been read and will be seriously considered....for good or for ill. :P

[quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="21" id="3356702"]Agreed with general posters' ideas here. Allow me to spend fame, instead of being forced to choose at fame increments. [/quote] This is what I orginally suggested for Influence before it was removed. Change it so that heroes cost influence in addition to gold, and then the player had to choice: Hire heros at the cost of diplomatic influence, or don't hire heroes for greater impact on the d

[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Lowered the tax rate at the highest setting form 0.9 to 0.8 [/quote] Could we please also have a tax option in between 0.0 and 0.4 ? In addition, is there validity to having a 0.0 tax? It negates so much of your economy....even your city enchantments. Please consider having 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5.

[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Removed the cooldown from the Fire Shrills Embers ability Removed the cooldown from the Water Shrills Slow ability Removed the cooldown from the Air Shrills Static Blast ability [/quote] Um... Does this mean shrills are going to be blasting every round now? Pack on the magic resistance...

[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Higher level monsters now give more xp to keep leveling from slowing down at higher levels (if you are killing higher level stuff) [/quote] Take care with this one... I obtained one of them beast collars and took over a Albino Rock spider (strong) with my level 2 hero. Pow! 3 level ups (and the spider) ;) Made for a very OP start.

Good Morning again So, I've been playing with the tax settings above, started two games now, and in both cases it appears like the AI is unable to get off the ground. Is there a default level that all AI plays at? (what I am thinking is that there is and it is a 'Low' where as in the original, 'low' is 40% tax and in mine it's only 20% tax so the result is that the AI is being stagnated.) Am I correct with this assumption?

Why don't they just add in a random generator? Does a player really need to pick male or female henchmen? I'd be fine with just a random givings of each...

K...back from trip. Now I have the game in front of me. XD After some serious delibertation, I believe I will be trying out this one: Name TaxRate Unrest Difference Free Spirited 10% &n

[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="9" id="3356100"] Quoting bigduncm24, reply 8 This sounds like you're understanding Swarm as a free full strength attack by adjacent units. This is not the case. Rather, the attacking unit gets a bonus to their attack based on friendly adjacent units. The animation where supporting units 'attack' just shows that they're providing the attack bonus. Exactly, which is +1 Attack and +5 Accuracy per adjacen

+1

[quote who="Lord Micheal" reply="83" id="3355076"]here's one suggestion for the "UI" section: clarify the way traits stack. at the moment, it's not obvious whether traits stack or replace each other (they all stack, btw.). that's a fairly common question in the forum (a new version of that thread pops up about once per week). i suggest changing the descriptions/tooltips of the traits to better describe the mechanic, for example: "Lethal III - incre

[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Reduced the amount of unrest from levels above low on the tax slider [/quote] May I inquire as to what this implies? I enjoyed the high unrest that was associated with the tax rate. It made for a dynamic decision. What I do not enjoy is the lack of tax options. See 'tax mod' thread for more details on that.

[quote quoting="post"]*** Unreleased *** Reduced pop required for city levelup from 50/200/400/800 to 50/150/300/600 [/quote] Really like that the ceiling has been pulled in a notch so that reaching level 5 will be easier. However, what about the floor? 50 pop for level 2 is really too soon with the starting pop being 30. I understand that you want to give the option to build a pioneer right away, but a mere 20 pop takes no time to gain and ever

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="23" id="3354509"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 21 Quoting WhiteElk, reply 20It's been two months with no update. Is FE dead like WOM? not dead. Just hibernating. If I were to guess, I'd say that SD is going to backport all the balance changes and bug fixes back to FE once LH is released. I hope that's what they plan anyways...cause I like FE better. Well, to be fair I li

[quote who="abob101" reply="3" id="3354201"]@GFireflyE I like that curve. But the way you have the bottom 2... with only 3% difference between Free Spirited and Low I don't think you'd ever use Free Spirited. [/quote] Yeah, that was one of my initial concerns, but since I never tried it out, I couldn't speak to it yet... In order to address this, it might be prudent to linearize the curve on the low end.
