Uhh I think it has been like a month since I last played FE:LH cuz I heard about 1.6's monster lair's zoc so I've been waiting patiently. Okay things I dislike that I still remember is.... Ridiculous Difficulty ok i'm sorry. XD Anyways, - Gilden AI always get themselves killed by spamming guarded strike on me in tactical battles. I felt like I was exploiting the Gilden AI but can't be helped... i didnt want to d

What's wrong with creating islands and raising mountains to wall off enemies? I once had an Earth Archmage and used it's raise mountains ability to get Vergas to go stab someone else for once instead of me every single time. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] But I found out the hard way, vergas was so bent on stabbing me he took the long route just to stab me some more. If there's a route you want to take.. i would recommend interesting worlds next time, curre

Your Settlement have to be right next to forest/river if you wish to build lumbermills and Piers. Unless you get lucky and the city expand into their direction. I can agree that's kinda stupid but oh well that's life. 1/3/0 What You don't have to settle on it if that's your starting tile well then make your first city a town. You will take heavy causalities cuz weak troops but until you get the fortress built then it will stabilize out fine. &nbs

I seriously can't wait for ZOC on monster lairs. No more longer I will fall victim to cheese from AI like when They settle next to dragon nest. Dragon never attack the AI city despite it being more powerful than six puny peasants. But when I evict the AI, sorry, the dragon didn't like it and attacks me the new ruler of the city and my army gets wiped instantly. Next one is even more funnier. Huge Dark sorcere

The mongols in MTW2 eh? XD Well I only played the first one but, I have done things like dump an massive army into the provinence where they show up one turn before before their appearance... They spawn with 100k-200k soldiers right? Well I took almost every single soldier in my byzantine kingdom and sent them into kharov something I forgot what name that they spawn at plus crimea and others. And one turn later, they showed up. I went into manual

Well Eunomiac, Somehow I doubt a band of 50 survivors will do very much other than poison the food supply in vengeance to kill alot of people. Assuming they all managed to unite for a single cause. Even if they was successful in reaching the positions of power of their hated foes, then what? Start a rebellion with a army that is loyal towards the victorious empire even when the leader hates the said victorious empire? He'll get deposed of. Nah

Attrition warfare won't work Eunomiac, I will just raze the cities to the ground. And thus there is no butthurt rebels in caves trying to fight back. Only reason guerrilla warfare works today is because countries don't' want the bad rap that comes with genocide. There's no deterrence whatsoever in video games other than making some goody goody two shoes frown at you.

Realm Divide. Shogun 2 does this. If you become too powerful, all other factions will be united by force against you and attempt to cut you down to size. Apparently it works because I have seen several threads of human players being toppled by force. And so I decided to go check the realm divide out. Last time I fought in one was when I was playing as imperials as it's vanguard against shogunate's vanguards in the Fall of the samur

Consulates, use them. Its heck alot better to build a consulate than have a level 1 village until the end of times. As for skeletons, they're immune to poison! It angers alot of spiders. Once had an spider uprising event happen for the first time only for them to be screwed over by the fact I was running nothing but skeletons. xD Don't ever underestimate consulates, slow growth is way better than zero growth even when there is many people

Wait, wait what the heck just happened? Expert AI all of suddenly became smart. I got dogpiled and attacked with 30+ armies. Not all at once but, one by one with several stacks of 3+ armies. Empires and Kingdoms just dogpiled me, and I actually outlived Resoln who got squashed so fast. And I"m still alive and attacks seem to have let up for now.... And worse, The gilden faction is actually kicking butt for the first time in 400+ hours I&#3

Altar Henchmen requires 20 fame a pop and no, The AI altar never builds the henchmen, ever. In fact, in my several hundred hours of play in FE:LH I have yet to see AI Altar build henchmen. And I don't think I ever seen pariden make use of their arcane towers and Spell books. I don't think I ever seen Resoln field a army either. . . . Kraxis always become a city state and then die horribly with few rando
