[quote who="Schweiz" reply="51" id="3271600"]I keep mentioning more abilities, because I want them haha[/quote] I think you should write all your suggestions down and at some point put all the abilities in a post somewhere, if nothing else I am sure it would be picked up by the lone modder looking for ideas ;). as always, thumps up for being creative, creativity sparks creativity. Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote who="LordTheRon" reply="3" id="3271632"]Nope, me neither. I love doublestrike as an ability but one should be able to miss.[/quote] Yes, and it have been reported as a bug before ;), atleast if you always hit, it shouldn't mention accuracy. And alternative would be apply a -30 accuracy for the next 2 turns due to tiredness. (If Derek doesn't want to go change the code structure). Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="8" id="3271552"]You can only have one Faction Weakness now.[/quote] Oh I hadn't noticed, that actually changes stuff. I still think its silly the combo is there, because in any case it should be applied to all the premade factions if we are supposed to use it in lack of better... Or they should reapply a 1-click "weakness" that gave 0 points (instead of 1) that just unlocked that same tech. People playing with uneducated and other st

Capitar is all about road building right?... :) Combat Engineering: Strike the enemy with a piece of road-kit, dealing 15 blunt damage and constructing a road below the unit Trailblast: Blast a bunch of roadpieces out on the combatfield, will create a path from the unit to the target location with expeditious movement. Defensive Roads: Quickly erects a vertical road, blocking movement, 1 adjecent tile is made impassable.... ~ K

[quote who="Santoes" reply="6" id="3271530"]Are those traits multiplicative? If so the total would be a -1% research penalty. I'd rather go with the two +10 research rout myself and take no bows or armour.[/quote] no they are not. ~ K

Can't really go back and find my save before the tablet to provide better description, but here you see the tablet's effect. Next time, it helps to bring a screenshot or a savegame file (the savegame logs basic debugging info). Thanks anyways! Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote quoting="post"] An item gained by defeating a Darkling Shaman. Should give +3 spell resistance, has no effect when used (on Lord Relias). [/quote] I had a bonus effect, it is hidden as a "+3 base" though. Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote quoting="post"] Double strike's description says it attacks twice as -30 accuracy, however like most skills it auto hits, even when blinded. [/quote] This goes from memory, but abilities cannot miss no matter how much accuracy they try to reduce, old bug, might be fixed (I don't read patch-notes thoroughly, sorry ^_^) I haver never ever missed on double strike. Sincerely ~ Kongdej

Auboy, while I think your post is short and seemingly just spat out at random, I do agree that those kind of loopholes in the game isn't good. [quote who="NanakoAC" reply="1" id="3271473"]maybe, but i'm not sure i agree. I usually either take the cruel penalty, or the clumsy penalty, the negatives from either are small enough to be inconsequential. And i exploit this to get one extra trait point. Doing what you're suggesting, you get your free tech an

[quote who="seanw3" reply="608" id="3271460"] I'll push back monster spawns for you and see what else will help you build more armies. I'll have a real gaming computer next week with any luck[/quote] While its a good idea, I often find small increments of change is the best. (Keep them rookies bleeding)... Random sidenote: Damn I hate when my game crashes ^_^ Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote who="Mistwraithe" reply="16" id="3271442"]Although if I was at Stardock I would have fought tooth and nail to push release back so that these problems could have been fixed for 1.00...[/quote] Fight themselves? ~ K

[quote who="joeball123" reply="57" id="3271357"]Quoting Kongdej, reply 51 Bows are not bad right now Bows are not particularly bad, but the cost of researching them generally outweighs their utility (at least for me) when I can make a fast-moving, higher initiative unit using the first weapon I researched in the game and have roughly the same performance as a bowman. On top of that are the magic staffs that are available that bypass armor, which I can research roughly 3 t

[quote who="Sentinemodo" reply="3" id="3271253"]and by the way, you should consider swearing a little less, it hurts my feelings to read so many fucking's, shithead's, asshole's on the forum that is supposedly for and by strategy gamers that boast higher average level of intelligence as compared to fast clicking ability of RTS players and eye-manual coordination of the FPS players.[/quote] wait what, are we intelligent, I had no idea :S... can I get out of this club again?

[quote who="TheBirthdayParty" reply="3" id="3271192"]Thanks, helps much. I was thinking more along the lines of trading a tech level, not points you are accruing to learn a new tech. I should've guessed that.[/quote] Oh I understand the confusion, but as said it should be seen as a "currency" more than information, it doesn't make as "much" sense lore-wise. But I think its a better game mechanic than the tech trading I see in other games, since those are either abused or ignor

[quote who="NanakoAC" reply="5" id="3271219"]However, on the other hand, i enjoy it. in the lategame, having an army that can move 8 tiles per turn on the strategic map is very useful, and feels well deserved for your effort.[/quote] Thats really how you feel? :S It causes more bugs by wandering out where you cant see. Also, try seeing the AI using it against you before you think its great ;). On average I don't even find it fun myself, because it just seems like

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="21" id="3271129"]Okay, now this is just silly. I negotiate to go to war with Pariden who are at war with a fellow Kingdom. Instead of being appreciative and understanding about me riding to the rescue, I get 3 negative diplo points each from 'You attacked a Kingdom!' and 'You attacked a fellow Kingdom!' and my non-aggression pact is revoked.[/quote] True, the AI is pretty clueless, one of the reasons I disregard the AI in the current game

It have stacked forever, beta testers (me) have said it several times, so my guess is they are both aware of it, and doesn't care for the sillyness :) Sincerely ~ Kongdej

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="3271102"]I beg to differ, of course. Light plate + Armorer sovereign = you'll DEVASTATE in the mid-game.[/quote] I have been wondering the balance here, but I hope someone took they're time to look into it ^_^. I still hope for a content upgrade that adds more armour types and weapons in the tech tree, so mid-game would be more for tactics and less for massing out the best units :P Sincerely ~ Kongdej

I dont understand the issue at hand :S I might be seeing this in the wrong way, to try and help I will explain tech trading as my memory remembers the mechanics. When I research a tech in the Warfare tree, I get a 5 special warfare points (whatever the number, I get some warfare points). These Warfare points are special points only used for diplomacy, they are like a separate currency in and of itself, that have a very special attribute. When I trade 5 warfare points

[quote who="rlane48" reply="53" id="3271074"]I agree with Xia on just about everything here -- I've found that all of the weapons are useful in their own right (even if just to add some variety). I didn't think much of my club-wielding militia until I had a atown attacked by an Earth elemental -- all of my little custom spear troops got their assess handed to them, but my clubbies did OK and dealt out some good damage. It will probably take some more games to fully realize

[quote who="seanw3" reply="591" id="3271098"]Flurry gives 3 actions, but they are not free. You get your actions early, but then have to wait until those early turns would have gone by normally to get your next one. It can be a great ability for the right situation. But your 3 turns require some thought to make sure it is not a waste.[/quote] Sounds like a great ability if you mass bonus defense when you pass your turn :P Interesting idea, I can see myself missing the 2 hp and get mau

[quote who="Brayzen" reply="51" id="3270931"]Concerning Bows: I think they are great for trained units as their damage gets multiplied by the number of troops. For Champs and sovereign, not so much. I have been playing Tarth and it seems impossible to make Lady Irane usefull while yielding a bow, it seems so much easier to build her with melee weapons or going caster. this stinks as I would much rather play her as archer. I am new to the game so I may be missing something though..

[quote who="Ishantil" reply="138" id="3271020"]Any word on when this is going live today? [/quote] When the bears learn to code... (Frog actually have a live polar bear he is training to do coding, so it will be the new AI guy...) (Sorry, I had to ;). Usually the patches are somewhere between morning and midnight, its abit random due to "just needing the last code in place") Sincerely ~ Kongdej... Meaby...

[quote who="SOLOSOL" reply="48" id="3270822"]Well this kind of threads are good to extract ideas, but it is hard to get to a point everybody is satisfied.[/quote] I think you will find that some of us will be satisfied if we just see atleast 1 or 2 proper uses for maces, and a use for trained squads, for axes. So I will atleast consider them once in a while. Sincerely ~ Kongdej
