[quote who="phazonfreak" reply="4" id="3347009"] Quoting petrasvu, reply 3 Dont know how, but playing with some races i had scouts which could build roads. You picked a faction with mancer blood, their pioneers have the road-building trait and you can choose the trait when you design a new unit. Again, you can always use a commander to build roads. That way they are really worth something beside their buffs on your armies and can activel

I would like to get more interaction with AI players: 1. I would like to have trethning option. For me its often case that one AI declares war to onother. I would like to have tools to interfere in such of conflicts and that my treaths could be evaluated by AI into its consideration. For examle if AI atacks my neghbour which i like and i have friendly relationship, i would like to have pessure tools on its attackers. 2. I would like to have cooperation tools, so i could

[quote who="Rath3130" reply="1" id="3338667"] Elemental: Total War I imagine the next game within the Elemental series will have a bit more hardcore tactical combat. Hopefully things like cool sieges and real battlefield obstructions, flanking maneuvers etc, all the goodies will hopefully make it in the next game. [/quote] Thats what i do expect from LH. Heavy tactical combats. like in chess. Every figure should be meanin

Dont know how, but playing with some races i had scouts which could build roads. I must say it was most acceptable option for me. I used one scout and have build rods while scouting at the same time, so my main army was folowing scouts road and picking treasures around and establising new forts and cities. Must say it was very comfortable way - i placed roads where i really wanted them to be - not where UI desides to do it. I dont support ones who tells that then we would make r

Well Lvl 1 mage has problems with landing them on, while uber 500... lvl mage has not. But yeah i'd like if mage could get lets say +1 to power of such spells like slow, haste per every 5 lvls or something.

I still would like to split shield bash into "real bash" and "knock back". Of which one would reduce initiative/dmg other - kicks 1 tile off. And obviously i would give knock to non shield units (most likly spearmens, because impale is not often to get a formation so it could be alternative skill to use) and bash to shield units. Also i would suggest to desing shield skills so they would keep its users in defence stance. As long if i equiped them with shiled then i want to get that shie

I like Raza. Only downside is that he cant equip mont so he moves and lvls wery slow and his stones mostly depends on his lvlup so... Yeah i raly would like him to have mount. I also tride ogre tank hero. Equiped him with dager witch gives him 3 hp for every atack, got first aid, gave shield and he proved amazing with his revenge, defence and >10 hp passive regeneration per turn. Of course i am playing with dence monsters always, otherwise it would be no point for her

I am often abusing this: i put it on build list and then pushing it away with other buildings till my city gets enough powerful to build it in much fewer turns then i just releasing it to building. This way i can stop AI from wonders building, buti dont have to waste 20 - 30 turns myself imediately, i can postpone it to more effective moment in future.

They also setling on random treasure chests or uncleared monster lairs just strait on the head of monsters. This made me mad. I have noticed that now monsters tend to leave their lairs ocasionaly and guess what, pioneers of AI just waiting of such an oportunty to pop up there city :D

I think so either: >20 lvl main hero should be slightly better than best equiped top military unit. Otherwise why to bother lvling heroes at all, what for so many eforts for fame ? I tried a bow hero today... felt like mistake of nature. Usless to do damage. And because bow does low initiative - usless to casting either. Bows are fine on military units but for heroes they suck badly. All assasins tree ful of crit, dodge, but not damage and you walking with 15 dam

I think its fine. If your hero gets surounded with 5 stacks of units (while he is lvl 5 besides ???) then: 1. You atacking not your match... 2. You are not doing strategy at battle: block some enemies with other units you have, use bashes to spred them a bit or impale to reduce numbers in stacks. Its realy easy to controll battle and swarm is fine. By the way defender hero realy can hold 3 stacks of skeletons with guard skill and healing spell (or pots).

I would like to offer for shield (as an item) imunity to swarm. This could solve defence (or defenders in general) problem. Because now swarm system makes defenders usless. Armor alone can not stand up swarms no matter what plate will you get on. Otherwise i think units special atacks should still keep swarm bonuss. I mean using cleave is actualy not atractive now because you can get more from swarm. Same goes for maces (even worse because you loose turn). Units with shi

Well i had necromancer hero with soul drain spell (2x lvl damage, if target dies it gives 40 mana). Then i got this OMFG mana shield / mana blast quest. Thats it: Buf necromancer with manashield and go search darklings. in few turns my mana got sky high becouse of his unique skill and then manablast turns to kill spell with insta cast with -1 spell cast trait. You can abuse water mana leach spell with counterspell ability and drain mana from casters till you get borred j

Finally ! So i am not the only one who thinks so. Defence is ruined totaly in this game now with that pack atack system.

i support you, it really would ease the game. It also could show small city enchant icons, because i dont like to scroll to cities locations just to see what enchant is on, it would be good just to see them when marking city over left side cites list.

Well as only i managed to beat ridiculous AI new patch came :D So no more 5x hp bonuss for AI >:D Must say ridiculous was more boring than chalenging. Ytrill have spamed me by his 200 hp jugernouts and black dragons sometimes mixed in. Killed hundreds of jugs. By the way, why exp for defeating epic AI army stuffed with tons of jugernouts is lesser than lets say defeating shrills army of 5 shrills ??? Cant get logic here.

All up to ridiculous is not challenging for me so for two days trying beat AI on ridiculous now, but still without any luck. World ridiculous, AI ridiculous, monsters dence, resources plenty, magic moderate. Thats my setup. Have no idea how to beat it yet. Already tried 6 times, but always the same: at turn 60 or close they all coming for me, their ratings 1000, mine 50 at best try :D Nothing helps agaist those 180 hp archers and my hero cant get high enough lvl until this wave comes (o

I'v played all kings bounty series. Must say it was one of the best games, i had lots of hours of enjoying it. Beautiful graphics, challenging and tactical combats, lots of strategies and new ideas to test. FE shines in its idea itself: conquer the world first then fight your oponents. But i feel a little of failure in the second part because of many AI problems, however i have a hope that they wont let it be like this and some things will be made better. For me this ga

Just tried a ranger with tannatas lightning bow. Amazing. Crits going for 300, and no need to waste mana, so spending it on celerity iniciative buff now and then. When is that 1.01 coming i want to see death magic now in action after fixes :(

Also to the ophidians topic. Can you make heroes not to use spells against magic imune creatures in autocombat ? Its annoying and funny to see how my heroes wasting my mana on those beasts, also on golems. There should be some immunity check rule before spell casting in outocombat. Its obvious that its usless if percentage is 100 to resist.

Ok then i have a question: how moster behaviour is determined against cities and improvements ? I had a game where around AI city was packed 2 slags army. It was wandering around it for 150 turns and guess what, they never tried to atack that city. And it was enough of me to put outpost later near that city area, they suddenly started to wander closser and closser, i was amazed of such hiden discrimination :D Maybe its a coincidence, but hello, they were in that location for 2

I actualy liked idea of fighting every tile from monsters so i dont know why to set them to less agressive, better simply make their agressivness to be equal to me as well as to AI. I dont like to see AI spaming cities non stop just because monsters nearly never atack them, i have never seen monster destroying AI's outpost, or even an improvement. So while i am researching and gathering proper power in order to set my feet to some better spots guarded by strong monsters, AI simply passes

Well i have made my own adaptation: i am not setling more than 5 - 6 cities, - then they all fits in one window line. And i am razing cities i am conquering, replacing them with outposts. But yes id like the game could reorder sleeping ones to top of list and if i am keeping them on sleep for purpose then there should be a button which alows me to note this and then they could not apear in that list at all or being shown as a one icon with expansion meniu same as armies can be s

And what about AI rushing buildings non stop. Will they fix it also ? Glad to hear that death magic now will scale with magic power, cant await to see how it will be now. Oh and i have concerns about Magnar: in my games it tends to die early if i set dence monsters without even managing to settle first city, and it happens only with his race so now i am ussualy customizing him not to be one of my oponents.

[quote who="NienorNiniel" reply="18" id="3266911"]Growth[/quote] Death has poor scaling with its shards and gets no magic damage boost from any percs of yours (i hope its not intended but its bug). So your staff, path of the mage, warloc perk and others will not increas your death damage also. Shadow bolt gets damage increase only by your levels, drain life gets tiny increases from shards, but as long its imune to perk boost its kinda mehhh now with its 1 turn cast time. Only touch of
