Agree with pretty much everything stated here. Don't think increasing the cost of pioneers is the answer as that would just slow the game down even further. imo, early game production costs need to be brought back down again, especially for the resource improvements.

It's the ' italic '. Recommend it's removal.

Agree with the OP here too. Salting the earth after city destruction or after empire surrender is very unfun. @ seanw3 : Really like your 'Salt the Earth' spell idea! However, imo, should be the same strength and availability as 'Revitalize the Earth' spell. @<a id="ctl00__Content__Rep

I suppose I shall have to stoop down to a form of debate that you will understand: You are wrong. You're describing a different game with different expectations. Go back to playing CIV. The rest of us will continue to work with the design team, giving positive, upbuilding, and benefiting advice towards the successful implementation and release of FE. I shall say no more on the matter.

Revitalized land is basically a random event. It could easily be tossed there as well...

Good Morning Stardock I know and understand that you've decided not to add new features to FE anymore and that I'll have to somehow satisfy myself with what the game currently provides. However, I've been compiling a list of features that I thought would really benefit the game. I've posted them before in other threads, always without any comment from Stardock. Since we're approaching close to release now, I was wondering and hoping if you wo

My entire view of beta 5 is clashing with Stardock at the moment... Stardock says that beta 5 is all about balance and bugs; that this wraps up the game for release. I still see the need for a tonne more content, features and UI in addition to those balance and bugs... Never the less, I'm not the one doing the designing, so I'll have to put my faith in Stardocks ability...

I vote 'master scout' is one of the worst designs ever thought of for this game. One of the pivotal aspects of this game is the interaction your faction has with the cataclysmic enviroment around you before the political conflicts with the other factions. Why design an ability that completely eliminates that from the game. I can see it now: "I bought FE because I love the interaction with the monsters. My favorite faction is Tarth because it elimin

[quote who="Alfdaur" reply="8" id="3234992"]It would be cool if you would get an pop-up like this: "Greetings my Lord! I bring you great news! An area in our domain has become fertile enough for settlement! The people talk in excitment about going there and sing songs about the returning land. They await your command, my Lord." [/quote] This would be an excellant way to approach to pop-up land if it's meant to be there.

Run 32-bit XP and never had a problem with FE and other programs. Alt-tab all the time without any crashes. I do have dual monitor though, and when I alt-tab the first time after loading the game, my scroll right no longer works when I mouse over, as the cursor floats over to my other window...

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="24" id="3234308"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 21 I disagree. It's different strategic planning, and imo, more dynamic. In the case where snaking is NOT allowed: You require strategic planning in where you rigidly build your cities. In the case where snaking IS allowed: You still require that strategic planning in where you build your cities, but there is some flexibility when doing so. However, you also

This happened to me a few times in 0.951. Never saw it yet in 0.98b, but obviously it still exists. I don't think this should be possible...

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="10" id="3233989"] Quoting GFireflyE, reply 3 [Applause] Path of the Governor looks VERY enticing now. Good job! Will try it out. 5: it does? I think everytime I take it my heroes are way weaker than if I had taken mage/warrior. That said, at least the path trait itself is worth levelling silly heroes to level 4 for. (some heroes are plain rubbish, compared to the competition ) Sincerely ~ Kongdej [/quote]

I'd like to recommend having a "world-wrap", both east-west and north-south, in the map generation. Too many times I'm 'cornered' with only one way to expand. Makes for a boring, bottlenecking, type of game.

[quote who="Satrhan" reply="19" id="3233716"] I seriously hope SD doesn't listen to you guys. The snaking mechanic was awful. Unique? Sure. Unintended side effect of a feature? Yes. Completely immersion killing? You bet. Horrible exploit that the AI could never match? Totally. 1) I actually agree with you there, it is not consistent. So other resources should be changed so they are also not included in the town when it touches the towns border. 2) Sn

[quote who="Kongdej" reply="6" id="3233709"]I would prefer if you would categorize them and list them under bugs, suggestions and balance Nice work though, its a bit too cluttered for poor ol' me Sincerely ~ Kongdej [/quote] Sorry...kinda just wrote it chronologically as I played the game. I'll take what I have and reorganize them for you.

I don't mind the minimum 25g for rush productions. It would be a great deal more meaningful if I didn't have to rush EVERY building due to it's overly long queue duration. As is, I just shunt all sorts of enchantments/spells/etc into extra gold production. Definately putting a skew on my game. Ces't la vie. Hopefully in 0.982 Stardock tones down those early builds a little. Though, I will say this: Having early game troops cost less than early game buildings enco

[quote who="taltamir" reply="36" id="3233496"] Also tariffs do not apply for a foreigner who is IN YOUR NATION. They apply for exporting goods to other nations (which in elemental doesn't exist, period). [/quote] Sure they do. When you leave the foreign country, you have to declare your purchases and pay tax accordingly. :P

Here are some more notes: EDIT: Re-organized into types of comments by public request: [Bug] Just got Queen Procipinee to level 4. I thought this was the level where you choose the ‘path’ however; Path of the Warrior is unavailable and is instead replaced with Potential I. What’s the deal? [Tweak] I just picked up the Warding Kite Shield with Serenes and the avatar now has a shield covering m

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="10" id="3233264"]What's the difference, as long as everyone's playing by the same rules. First people call to nerf snaking cities, now you want a reason to snake them again? Get real. [/quote] I never called for the elimination of snaking cities. That was one of the MOST unique features that attracted me to playing this game. I really like how Stardock has limited the snaking as it has greatly improved the game. However,

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="27" id="3233226"]Actually, I do not even bother researching mounted warfare until very late in the game. I beeline for an AI town, and have a hero buy two mounts At insane, the AI gets horses before I can reach it. Sometimes it even has wargs, which I prefer for support troops (initiative) [/quote] This is a flaw that needs to be addressed imo. Generally when you buy goods from another nation, they impose tarriffs on you unless y
