had the same thing happen to me one game. Not sure if it specifically happens only with the Apiary (like in my case and the example above) or if other resources can pop up too.

[quote who="Alstein" reply="2" id="3247689"]That's not a bad concept- though tying to influence would OP influence. Maybe having influences in your queue should result in an unrest penalty for each one you have- like 10 or 20%. [/quote] As in, instead of cities being idle, they consume influence to meet a certain end? Influence --> Gildar Influence --> Research

[quote who="MiamiBigAL" reply="66" id="3247725"]May want to be careful with boosting cities too much. It will power up the Master scout trait, enabling you to randomly settle cities with strong auto-defences. [/quote] Very good point. Once troops are actually a buildable strategy, thought should be taken such that no specifc troop type is spammable and abusable at the same time. It should take a mix of types for an army to be successful. [quote who="MiamiBigAL" repl

Definately an interesting concept. I like it. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Could even be merged in with my 'Purpose of Influence' thread. https://forums.elementalgame.com/433096

[quote who="FrenziedFan" reply="87" id="3247494"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 86 I will say this, for all the little tidbits here and there that players hoped FE would still include before release, the AI is far superior to the AI in MoM, and that alone speaks volumes. Great job Stardock! Ya, it speaks volumes about you. MoM AI was awful, so giving FE credit for being superior to awful is just sad. [/quote] Ob

@ joeball123 The Great Library held the world's knowledge. It could have easily been copied...who wouldn't want all that beneficial knowledge? But it wasn't.... I think that's what Stardock is trying to get across. They're 'inventing' these buildings to BE wonders, and by that essence

Banished Ogres tend to louder than expected, especially when they're hit with an attack. It's been awhile since I've heard, but has that occasional loud lightning strike when playing an empire faction been taken care of? Other than that, I've thought the game to be fairly balanced for sound (and I've been paying attention because I had that game start book sound problem since 0.951 that was fixed in 0.983.) versions are approximate.

I'm hoping that the game will be modified to allow for sovereigns to join your cause under several other conditions aswell: The current surrendering, acquiring the Broken Spirit negative trait. The destroying, acquiring the XXXXX negative trait. This would happen when you 'kill' an opponent faction. 'At the last moment' instead of wisking away to safety, he joins your cause, but has a different negative trait. The hiring, acquiring

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="2" id="3247354"]Nonsense. Metal is a resource for war. I can crack up taxes for one season, and pocket 200 Gildar. But when I need metal to build one of my heavy cavalries, there's no easy way to pull what I need out of my ass. Not unless you make metal really cheap in diplomacy. And by the way, you cannot get 6 Gildar for metal unless the AI has ran out. Talk to an AI with 300 loads of metal in its stores, and it will offer you

I would leave crystal as is and rebalance on the other end. If Ash Mage is not worth 15 crystal and Stardock is aware, they'll look at reducing crystal requirements to 10. On a side note, someone with a great deal more beta testing experiance than I should go through all the units that can be built and judge whether their crystal and metal and production amounts are weighted appropiately for their power. Might be somewhat awkward to do considering that troops are not co

NEVER! [e digicons]}:)[/e] In all seriousness, with their previous usage statistics of only 2% going to multiplayer, I can see Stardock being very hardpressed to invest anything more than 2% towards the endeavour. Now, I'm not saying that it will never happen....just that it is very unlikely. [quote who="Heavenfall" reply="5" id="3247296"] Something to remember is that E:wom was the first game, FE the second. If FE does well, they i

I will say this, for all the little tidbits here and there that players hoped FE would still include before release, the AI is far superior to the AI in MoM, and that alone speaks volumes. XD Great job Stardock!

[quote who="Unmitigatedlie" reply="1" id="3247067"]1 research for 3 Gildar = 1 time benefit, merchant's benefits accrue over time. [/quote] Agreed. Not sure what the OP is getting at. Other than the Scrying Pool if your Pariden, Merchant is probably the most important building to get. Logging Camp may be up in the runnings.

Agreed. Great idea!

[quote who="joeball123" reply="27" id="3247118"]I would not be certain that autoresolve ignoring magical abilities was entirely fixed - I recently had a solitary champion who was attacked by a Dark Sorcerer, and since I have never won a manual engagement against a Dark Sorcerer using only one low level (about level five, I think) hero, I hit autoresolve because I didn't feel that sitting there and watching my hero die would be worthwhile. Autoresolve told me that I won. Possibly the Dark

[quote who="seanw3" reply="96" id="3247005"]One more thing for .984. Can we delete Fortify from the game? It's human abuse against the AI and needs to be stopped. No means NO! [/quote] I don't think Fortify is going anywhere....

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="23" id="3246613"] quoting post When a popup window appears map often scrolls to a different location from where the event that triggered the popup happened.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="7" id="3247019"]I solved this by making it a unit only bonus. It sucks not to have it affect the whole army, but at least it wont stack. [/quote] Even as a unit only bonus, the +1 to movement is huge on the battlefield. No one can deny this after all the 'horse gives +2' arguements presented.

Having 'bottleneck' maps isn't my preferance and definition of fun. I much prefer the maps that are single continent carved up by mountain ranges. True, it's still a type of bottleneck, but never seems as bad as on water. IMO, hoard lots of mana and start raising land straight north. You're bound to 'land ho!' eventually. XD

[quote who="Istari" reply="39" id="3246920"]Post release, there will be more optimization for 32-bit versions of Windows (XP, and those using 32-bit Windows 7). We still recommend people move to 64-bit but we haven't forgotten those running 32 bit. [/quote] Thanks for keeping us 'poor' 32-bit users in mind.

[quote who="Mhantra" reply="35" id="3246932"] 4. KILL THOSE SPAWNS! The longer they stay there, the more they produce. You can pair up your sov and champ to be pretty safe. Also, the experience gained from this should raise your heroes high enough to become a focal point of the army, even if you don't go with an army early (and let's face it, that's not a very viable strat yet). [/quote] Control those spawns. They're

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="5" id="3246850"]Fixed, thanks. I removed the ability, we dont cycle through all your units equipment when doing resource calculations which is why it doesn't work. [/quote] What did you give it instead? [e digicons];)[/e]
