Another solution would be to add the qualifier: world wonders can ONLY be selected for building IF they are the only item in the queue. Naturally, one would also have to add: When a world wonder is in the queue, no other item can be placed in the queue. If this were intrroduced, than I would be fine with Derek Paxton</

[quote who="webusver" reply="8" id="3347744"] Is it good for AI to remove encumbrance? Yes!!! [/quote] This is a fair point. If the AI couldn't handle the encumbrance mechanic, I'd sooner have smart AI without encumbrance than dumb AI with it. Question: Could a simplier version of encumbrance be implemented such that the AI can handle it? Maybe have the following: Cloth Armor (full suit) have weight 0, -0 init <li

[quote quoting="post"]So it was just brought to my attention that your militia will only fight once. Ever. If your city gets attacked by multiple armies, your militia will only fight in the first battle, and then are never seen again. Meaning, if you have an awesomely defended castle, and an enemy decides to attack it with two weak armies, you'll easily crush the first one, and probably take no casualties, but then for some reason, the militia simply don't appear, so the enemy just ta

I run dual monitor as well. I run full screen FE. Edge scrolling works for me until the first time I minimize the game to do something on my other screen. From then on I experiance the same as you. I have found no way to fix it. I just got used to zoom out and zoom in on zoom to cursor.

[quote who="Lokitako" reply="6" id="3347217"]Been like that since FE, always considered it a bug (considering that a Storm Dragon costs 1.5g upkeep, as comparison) [/quote] Which I think is too cheap. Imo, Storm Dragon should cost 3gp/turn and 3mana/turn for upkeep. Knights of Asok should cost in the realm of 2gp/turn for upkeep.

[quote who="schattenjaeger" reply="5" id="3346729"]I don't bother with Demanding tribute, since it tends to negatively effect Diplomacy. It annoys me that, when the AI *offers* me tribute, I get a negative point against my diplomatic stance with them because I'm currently "demanding tribute" that I never actually asked for... [/quote] Yeah, that's just wrong. If they offer it, you should be getting a +1 because they appriciate your empire defending them.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="5" id="3346153"]The unreast for 9 - 12 cities (attributed to city unrest penalty) is only 27-36. Easily subverted by having a fortress or two, which yields an overall reduction to unrest throughout the empire. The trait there is to force the player to build a balanced empire (in a sense). If one ignores towns, then food and gold are hard to come by. If one ignores conclaves research and mana will be hard to come by... if one ignores fortresses, then unrest and

If that seems too high, put in a lower shard percentage. Casting spell of making imo, should at least force you to not be turtled in 2-3 cities.

Maybe you can get Derek to add slings to Weaponry for you instead. By the way, Drills is one of the hardest / best choices in this game. How often do you need that one extra army slot?

I would have thought that 4 towers would exist. The 1st, achievable only though city growth and reaching level 6 status (as mentioned above) The other 3 existing along each of the three techtree types. Different places perhaps along each of the paths... Maybe 'earth' in the Economy tree. Maybe 'fire' in the Warerfare tree. Maybe 'water' in the Magic tree Then 'air' in the level 6 upgrade.

I thought this thread was about recording combat so that you could go back and watch them again. Obviously when a combat happens....it happens. If you don't like the result, reload.

[quote quoting="post"]Now that armor proficiency is required for various types of armor, some of the low level treasure finds have become useless junk like a rusty plate helm with a defensive value of +2. By the time a unit could use it, much better options would be available. Another example is the rusty chainmail. [/quote] Definately. Without encumrance, why pick stuff other than the best available?
