Awesome for those that use auto-resolve. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="28" id="3249855"]In .981 you could still win with a solo sovereign. I've done it. So yes, you can definitely win with a single city, although you may lose it at some point. [/quote] But this is 0.984 we're talking about here... XD

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="3249786"]Depends on your settings. Basically, I still crank out pioneers first but I need troops to expand out of the early areas. [/quote] Granted. Settings mean alot. I would imagine that most beta testers here are playing at a world/faction difficulty level of at least challenging. I think that it's really good that troops are required in the early game in order to expand. That's a plus. May I also assume that

Cool. Sweet taster! Thanks. Notice the cultural border glitch from Yithral around the 3:45 minute mark?? ;)

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="2" id="3249490"]Yes. (there will be more changes) and I mean early level troops. [/quote] Is there queue time going to be given, or accomodated for, building those early game troops? Some of the biggest problems I've faced in 0.983 is that troops were at the bottom of a long list of items that need to in that city queue: Pioneers Resource Improvements City Improvements <l

Agreed, but in addition to the mana consumption, I would also recommend that such a spell cost influence.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="269" id="3249723"]I have 6 defenders in a city. The enemy sends a single wilding to attack it and loses horribly. Then the enemy sends in a single militia and takes the city. You think that is a good balance? There is no reason to have defenders only work once per season. It's a bug and needs to be fixed. Currently I have to teleport multiple stacks of armies away to make sure they don't cheat. I also have to wait a turn before attacking again. It's a re

[quote who="cugeldaclever" reply="3" id="3249733"] If you get to the One of the etch gives the benefit - roads to ouposts - I've daisychained a line of outposts to get a road to the town Kinda cumbersome [/quote] So, basically more emphasis was placed on pioneer spam.... [e digicons]

I thought they made this already?? Didn't they call it the "Deathstar" XD

Yeppers. Auto-roads still have much to be desired for. Derek has mentioned that some fine tuning of the system was going to be looked at, time permiting. Honestly, I think it's pretty low on their list. It doesn't cause crashes, and there is a way to manually build roads...if your lucky.

I mentioned it before, but it's been awhile. Can we have a bunch of 'escaped' stories. Seeing the same one every time just seems too non-rpg. He was left for dead He bribed his way out He hid in a nearby patch of trees etc etc There is a thread that has a tonne of them somewhere...

You can set 'No Surrender' !?! Definately clicking THAT option. XD

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="261" id="3249279"] Quoting mqpiffle, reply 253 I would prefer they made these spells level 3 and keep the 50 mana cost, but that is not their design goal I guess. I suspect they did this because there are times when people start in non-ideal locations and need to bridge themselves out of the bad spot. I was thinking maybe 10 mana would be sufficient for the purpose. Because you don't want people to game the map e

[quote who="joasoze" reply="42" id="3249653"]If FE was anything like CIV V, I would not be here. First version of the beta was better than CIV V. CIV IV is the yardstick here. Now, that was a GREAT game. I think FE is gonna be game of the year for me, and I just bought XCOM.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="3249412"]We're not holding back features. But we're holding back content. There's a lot of art resources for modders and the campaign assets. [/quote] Fantastic!!! Thanks for the response. Was kinda thinking content was being held back with so few quests and items, etc. Really appriciate you confirming that.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="1" id="3249372"]I know I am holding some stuff back. I am sure they are too. [/quote] Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for... ... that's why the curiosity is getting the better of me. XD

Stardock. Question. Are we getting the full 'meal deal' experiance with the sandbox mode? Is there swaths of content in the form of quests, props, and items being held back before the gold release? Thanks

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="26" id="3249353"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 21 Quoting scifi1950, reply 17 I think Lord Xia has hit the nail on the head. I may not be as hardcore as some of the guys in the Beta, but I've been playing these kind of games for a long time and IMHO FE is no Civ V. Frogboy - I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I actuall

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="31" id="3249354"]Where's my graph and chart as promised by the OP? [/quote] Ditto. If it takes much longer, 0.984 will be out and the graph will be obsolete. Frogboy was already courteous enough to give you an extension till Monday. :P

Well...at least the heroes aren't spending all their gildar on codpieces. XD

No. As I understand, you require a Steam key to play FE on steam.

Couldn't crit just be restricted to melee? That way, isranged would remove all crit from affecting ranged spells....magic or otherwise.

Yeah, I've mentioned that one; though it was with the opening book backstory. Clicking outside of the message box closes the box. Very frustrating imo. Should have to click the 'close' button.

Yep. I've noticed it since 0.951. It's persisting.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="23" id="3249281"]Just make sure the wind doesn't blow too hard on your wildings and kill them all. Such a weak unit. [/quote] It's kinda similar to a 'slave rush'. Having 24 wildings running around taking empty outposts really pulls resources away from AI factions. Let's you build faster and costs them the difference. You end up winning via attrition.
