Just a followup, the AI had *easy* lairs next to them when I cleaned for them (bandits, darklings etc.) and let them live, while having 7+ stacks on top of each other next to their capital doing nothing. That is just bad AI ;)
You scroll with the keyboard? ;) It should be possible afaik, but post your speccs and whatnot would probably be helpful for the actual support staff.
I would like some more possibilities with population end game. Sacrifice is too good currently (kill useless pop for free mana? yes plx) Tying level 5 city promotions to population someway would go far on fixing that issue. The growth issue is directly countered by consulates. (spam pioneers in low food cities for the big ones) My end game empire has 6+ outposts for every city, so lvl 5 is easy to get ;)
Yes, the AI suicides pioneers too much. Most of the AI's in my last game had 1 city, and only got more after I cleaned the lairs for them -_- So no they are building pioneers, they are just dying too much ^^ (more monster lair clearing, less AI on AI action plx)

[quote who="littleduckie" reply="9" id="3382742"] At the end of the day, I'm just sharing a perspective and feedback Clearly the regular forum goers here are not representative of the general gaming public in that in general. Brand loyalty to SD is wayyy above average and consequently as marketing theory tells us, folks here have developed varying extent of price insensitivity and also will be more prone to be a SD apologist. And really I am myself not all that different despite maki
[quote who="Adversarius" reply="4" id="3382805"] To Battle Cry: As beastmaster you are able to tame a Great Wolf. This one has the Howl, which is similar. I usually play on Ridiculous Mode, where this skill is realy needed cause of massive monster HP. On normal you could be right ... i think over it To Evoker: I explained it, with the Ring of Ash, Evoker IV, Volcanic Rites, Spellstaff or similar items a mage was to powerful with firemagic. My changes run to usually +75% Spel
The AI seems to have more trouble with the early settling now. My last game almost half of the AI's stayed on one city, and didn't expand until I cleared the nearby lairs for them. I saw some pioneers suiciding alot vs nearby mobs, so I guess they got "stuck".
I've run into a kind of roadblock, I made a new town essence spell that gave 5% crit chance pr essence, but it flat out refuses to work on regular units. They get the stat value, but never crits, no matter how high I put the value. (I had a 500+ crit unit, and it never crit.... and no I did not attack skeletons or other crit immune units) Is it a bug or am I missing something here? I've tweaked elementaldefs, and the unitstat xml thingie (set default value to 1 crit etc. ) nei
You are evil, we want the info if you have it ;)
Anyone got a suggestion on how to make a building unbuildable but still show up in the tech tree? Conclave/Fortress req did the trick, but polluted the tooltip so it was a no go :( (trying to make a replacement for spells in the tech tree) 1 Seems to work as I want but my capital went all Deorcnysse in one game with insane levels and no levelup buildings. Can cheating mess up that? edit: lol, just found <Hi
That did the trick on both ends, thanks. I guess Steal Spirit has the kill move in the ability then? No wonder it didn't work for me.
I'm having some issues implementing my new spells, first the spells does not show up in techs when I have added the "Prereq tech" thingie (they work well, they just don't show up :( ) I could make items to look like spells I guess? Or is it something stupid I forgot? ;) Destiny's Insight flat out refuses to be copied and tampered with, I've tried several new internal names, and it doesn't show up for some reason. Any ideas why? Lastly I can't get
I bought FE from stardock, then upgraded via steam. That shouldn't matter if they do their job right....
Include the old FE Scenario maps in LH. It makes no sense not to.
Hmm.. I can't see the old FE vanilla stuff in steam anymore. If that is true it's a mistake by Stardock and should be fixed eventually. It makes no sense just offering just the new scenario. I could swear I had the old FE somewhere before....
Btw, since you seem to be the AI units upgrade expert atm, if I add several magic items for troops, will they be used in the game by AI upgrades? (thinking shields, glyphed leather etc. in the magic tree)
LH gives you FE as well. It adds several new tactical options etc. (like swarming) that FE does not have. So if you are considering getting the 66% off, get it ;) (It's a great game, even if you stay at FE, so getting LH only adds to that, so buy buy buy ;) )
[quote]An archer doesn't really need leather armor, nor do mages. These clothes can be modded to have a benefit to using only clothing, say a +1 to initiative or even +1 dodge.[/quote] If the AI has archers targeting your no armor units I beg to differ ;)
What do the cards do?
That would be awesome. Has Stardock hired you yet? ^^
All of the old AI troops need an overhaul imo. Too much junk everywhere. I tried doing it myself, but after seeing the mammoth file, I gave up ;) (hint hint, modder with too much free time)
I understand that too, but why pollute an appreciation thread with it? You can make your own thread for stuff like that.
Commander with accuracy traits, juggs with Doom Hammers. They do insane damage, and will knock troops down too. The Tactician traits help with the lack of initiative on clubs as well. Remember the innate juggernaught bonuses as well, double damage etc. if you skip the HP trait you can create some insane glass cannons.
So you didn't like the beta (shocking, beta is beta, do not play beta if you don't like unfinished stuff) didn't play after they patched and fixed the game, and wants a free expansion because it wasn't meeting your expectations the first time you gave up. Then after testing LH you liked it, and feel entitled to a free expansion. Am I right so far? Okay... We all would like free stuff, but the world doesn't work this way.
