there's far too many things which are underpowered too. i know it seems smart to be all meta about it, but this game does need close looking at from a balance perspective

[quote who="Jim Winsor" reply="19" id="3276566"]It makes sense that this used to be the end game quest, as it's the most difficult quest in the game right now (am I right?). Even more so than Waerloga (who I have beaten before). So what's the sense of a quest more difficult than the win-the-game quest? Maybe if you have not found the Big Gate yet, but that seems unlikely ...[/quote] Try Arena of the Slakhanan. I think i found that more difficult than 3 dragons. Although one re

i don't see how HP is a logical grounds for increasing the costs. This is what magic resistance is for. I played a beastlord recently and i found the 40 mana per cast to be very costly early on, especially given the chance of failing. With no armor, my beasts tended to die in battle rather easily. I did get a silt skath, and those are good, but they're nothing special vs armored knights. i've only ever had an umberdroth once and it was from a quest. The Great wolf

[quote who="Grizzyloins" reply="6" id="3276518"]penalties start at 40% weight, was thinkin maybe get a +1 init bonus if under 20, then another at 10, and another at 0?[/quote] No, this isn't about weight. It's about the extra advantages that come in combat with having a free hand. You could grab enemies and pull them towards you, push off the ground to stop yourself falling over, or to help you get up faster. Use two hands on your weapon for powerful s

Winning a Master Quest or Spell of Making victory is pretty neat. Each describes the immediate creation of two scenarios which would seem fun to play out... but then the credits just roll. Wouldn't it be nice if we could keep playing after the credits, in the resulting world that we've created? Master Quest: Lots of new dragons spawn on the map, and they, as well as all existing ones, become a new dragon faction, which is permanant

[quote who="kwm1800" reply="12" id="3276487"] And no, Fell and Storm are not 'lesser' dragons. Both of them are superior than Ashwake in several ways.[/quote]don't they have less HP, and no fire resistance? Besides that, if they're not lesser, then they should be. the ingame descriptions specifically describe ashwake as the greatest of the dragon breeds

[quote who="dihir" reply="14" id="3276421"]When you go into unit design, you can edit them and you have a gender option.[/quote] wrong. In the game, "henchman" is treated as a gender choice. Male, Female, or Henchman. (so technically they're not even male) If you change a henchman design to female (or even to male) and then build one, you'll get a normal soldier, and they'll lose the ability to pick traits, wear equipment, etc

it is an amazing game, but i definitely wouldn't call it stable :p it crashes for me about 1 in 4 times when loading a game, and at several other random points. It's probably the buggiest game i've played since fallout NV but yes i do like it and it is awesome ^^

[quote who="dangerlinto" reply="3" id="3276446"] Quoting Chiarden, reply 1The differnet tiers of traits always are cumulative. Mouse-over the stats they effect, not the trait itself and you will see the bonus from each tier in the tooltip (works for everything but +% exp). Several of the bonuses do not show when you are choosing them - Evoker is just one example, as there is no place where you can look up what your current bonus to spell damage is. [/quote]</

what do you mean unit designs? There wouldn't be much value in additional premade unit schematics, but it'd be nice to have more things to put on units.

when a city is razed, the tile it was on is ruined, and cannot be resettled. There is a spell, somewhat late in the magic research tree. I think it's called "Restore the land". it allows you to settle a city again on those spots. there's no bug here, it's working as intended i'm sure sorry if i've misunderstood, it's hard to understand you :(

[quote who="dihir" reply="10" id="3276415"]If I understand the question properly, you are asking: "If you have a single unit that can survive long enough to kill three dragons, what use would you have for another powerful unit"?[/quote] not a single unit, it's 3 dragons vs your army (of up to 9 units) you make a very good point though. one person can't be in several places simultaneously. if you have to split up your epic army to defend a large front, yo

[quote who="King_Felix" reply="8" id="3276400"] Quoting ProteusJN, reply 7While I like this feature in most games that have it, I don´t think that it would be a good idea for FE. It would end with all civilizations (including the player one) which have conquered a Yithril city fielding armies of Juggernauts, supported by maybe a few units of their own nation. All in all it would decrease the diversity of units you can encounter on the battlefield.

i would call it a bug. If not a mistake in coding, then it's a mistake in design, imo. should be corrected either way ^.~

i agree the tooltip for the skill should show more information for the stacked skills. but as chiarden says is a good workaround at least. not optimal i know.

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="10" id="3276383"]I don't care, but generally, there should be no females in close combat roles ever. But since this is fantasy, it does not really matter.[/quote] lol, what ? you have to be kidding. You don't need to be a man to swing a sword, or fire a gun. and women can be just as strong when they work at it: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H9jxLJKL2p0/TSWuHeJTZ7I/AAAAAAAAABE/i748kD0ySV4/s1600/Blog+-+Women+Bulk.jpg

[quote who="DeViLmAn_Niteshade" reply="5" id="3276305"]Well you can edit/design new henchmen and then just keep clicking the Henchmen tag until it cycles up something u like to a point( at least I assume it follows the same random rolls as clicking random for a male or female unit.[/quote] no, it doesn't. no matter how many times you click it, they always have stubble. their hair and clothing is all you can change

[quote who="Jim Winsor" reply="3" id="3276317"]You just proved my point.[/quote] No, i refuted your point. Your point was that the dragon quest is too hard, i'm telling you it isn't if you prepare properly. If you've developed 4 level 20+ champions, then what do you need a dragon for?[/quote] I don't need a dragon. But i want one. Specifically i want THAT one, you don't get an ashwake dragon from anywhere else. Dances with dragons gives yo

i agree, this does sound reasonable. Although, something to consider is that this mechanic already sort-of exists. You get initiative penalties if you're wearing too much gear, and it's concievable that a shield could push you over that. but i agree it isn't enough. A "Free hand" initiative bonus would be good too.

the autogarrisons definitely need buffed, i think we can agree there. I'd propose that all players' capital cities recieve some kind of inherent bonus too. A much stronger garrison, compared to normal cities. and it would be nice to have free (or halved) mana and gold upkeep costs, for units which are stationed in a city (including champions with mana-costing auras)

there needs to be non-stackability for auras too. that is, unit abilities that benefit the entire army

beastlord isn't overpowered at all. The proposed mana costs are certainly far too high and would break the trait. Most beasts aren't that great, or worth very much. Most of them have little or no defense, and they don't hit too hard either. There are some, like the Great Wolf, who are a bit much. but lesser creatures are meh. I don't know any beasts that have ranged attacks, or vast amounts of defense. the problem is that earlygame rushing

i think stacks of doom are far less of a problem here, than in other games The strategic spells allow you to scupper them pretty well, and the city defenders that respawn at full health after every battle help to offset being worn down. I never have to USE stacks of doom, certainly. A few decent champions can hold off massive armies, single handedly. And magic is powerful enough to wipe the battlefield in a single spell, sometimes.

agreed. it'd be nice to see a faction that has no need/ability to spam horses or wargs
