Oh, my! Between this one and Project Eternity, I am just looking forward for time to go by! Hmmm... Think I will even put something on the kickstarter. Never done it, but hell, it is Torment!
I think there might be a way to circumvent the problem with heroes being Empire or Kingdom: quest heroes. If I am not mistaken, quests can be taken by either faction, and the heroes that you get through them can work both ways. So, you'd only have to create the hero as a unit and put him inside some quest... It might work,
I got a spell casted on me, a grip of winter or something like that. It froze my production queues, so it really fucked me for a while... Had to be quite careful with not losing a single unit in battles :S What I agree with is that the lack of any message telling you what spell was cast gets kind of annoying (it took me a while to realize that everything was frozen...). Perhaps it has to do with difficulty levels?
I am not entirely sure china will burst, but it is definitely leaning towards it. They have an extremely corrupt system that, between bribes and influence-traffic (don't know if you use that expression in English XD) is increasing the costs too much, on an almost exponential rate. I read this article on the New Yorker a while ago and it got me shaking my head. It definitely can't last forever. Add to
I usually go with all random, but stopped since it sometimes made me be in a world with plenty of both magic and resources. Since then, I play on moderate or sparce... I like sparce even more, because then you are really constrained by the very few resources you find and tend to struggle a lot more against an ai for the few resources you might compete for. Plus, it really gives a sense of Cataclysm! (In plenty is like "What is this? A Cataclysm occurred? Why is everything so nice and green?.<
Another option is simply to find the name of the trait that you want your faction to have and add it manually at the code of that faction. I did that with a theocrathy-kingdom to give them the stormworld hability of worship and it worked perfectly...
I think I agree with the general idea that a sovereign who is a mage should be able to cast a spell in most of units. Being a mage is precisely part of what a sovereign is, and what makes him unique. If he has power enough to renew a barren land, he should have power enough to blind a giant mountain-monster. Another thing is that blind should have a limit duration, but making boss enemies inmune to magic is no point. What should be (and I think already is) is that only very dedicated mages ma
What I generally do is to go with an army with a mage champ. I equip the mage with daggers and the such as to have good init and just keep countering his despair. Of course, if the dark wizard resists the counterspell... You're dead. However, I sometimes use a bug (when I don't feel like reloading lol) where if you click auto-resolve (after failing the counterspell, for instance), you win without any loses... Seems that because the attack of the dark wizard is not so terribly
It really sounds awesome! I was always a bit disapointed at seeing all my enemies with all their magical towers and yet, not using it. Increasing the differences between kinds of cities sounds fun too. At the moment, I feel it is a bit like "have one fortress at your border, have one conclave for the special potions, the rest all towns". At least, for me it tends to be that way. Now, it will be more viable to have a warmonger faction with lots of fortresses, popping units over a
Dammit! I've ended up working on two different sets of cities (one desert-based; another, swamp-based) and I still can't manage to copy things. I have found that using CTRL+central wheel rotates the item, and that with SHIFT+central wheel, it you can set the scale, in case someone wants to use them :S
Hello all! I bought Fallen Enchantress quite a while ago, and enjoyed the game and the mods. So, after a while, I've decided to give a hand in the modding with my own very adiction: editors. You see, I don't play strategy games so much for the strategy itself as for the storitelling and the building of a nice-looking city. It is a bit silly, but for me, strategy games where simply a substitute for legos. With the advantage that you can do much cooler things in the screen an
