Beta 5 is out. Please play and let us know what you think. Report any issues you find in the support forum ( https://forums.elementalgame.com/forum/1007 ) Changelog: https://forums.elementalgame.com/431613/page/5 If you don't own Fallen Enchantress you can buy it here: <a href="https://www.ele

They are disabled on 32bit systems to save memory. We should have greyed out the option and had the mouseover say that, rather than just hiding the option. Pedestrians take up over 200 meg of memory and we didn't want to risk 32bit people being unable to finish their games because of memory issues.

I could see it as part fo a bigger deal. As an attempt to make peace or in trade for a bunch of Knowledge or Metal (if the AI was hurting for it).

I've fixed ranged weapons and cloaks for Henchmen. Wasn't in time for Beta5 though. It will be in 5a.

Beta 5 will be 0.980. And yes, barring some nightmare scenario it will be out today.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. FWIW, my work sent me to England for a few months where I was away from family and friends and it's where FfH got started. So it kept me sane too... well... mostly sane.

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="15" id="3231709"]8. Ledger should show unused Essence- We have updated the ledger for Beta5. We have a column that shows the amount of enchantments on a city, it wouldnt be hard to show the min/max. I'll add it.[/quote] I checked on this and it's already on the list. The dev already has code for it but it won't be in in time for Beta 5. [quote who="Bobofett" reply="21" id="3231758"]Also I'd like to add the abil

There isnt any plans to have the font size based on any dynamic fator. I did tweak the font size, color and transparency for Beta 5 (they are smaller).

[quote quoting="post"] These are the main problems I still have with the user interface with Fallen Enchantress: * Not able to select Random sovereigns to play against at the start of the game (should also be able to pick 'Random Kingdom' and 'Random Empire') * If there are multiple stacks on a tile, clicking the stacks will only cycle between the first two and you have no real idea of how many stacks there are on the tile. * Needs to be

Fixed, thanks.

[quote who="Bellack" reply="39" id="3231520"]Derek can you explain why you guys did not seperate the Tech trees? What I mean is that there are some techs who's pereq's are from a different tree. Personally I wish you guys would have either keeped them seperate (Ala. Endless Space) or just have one tech tree (ALA. many 4x games CIV for example. [/quote] Having cross tree dependencies means that we effectively have 1 tree. That we display it on 3 screens is

This is fixed in Beta 5.

Love the QuestWizard, it did crash for me when I was attempting to use it: http://screencast.com/t/txK7WdSi Radius of -1, when used with the SpawnMonster game modifier, allows thee monsters to be placed anywhere on the map. The FE editor is an excel spreadsheet with macros written to export anything in the spreadsheet into xml. So it looks like this: <a href="http://screencast.com/t

The intent is that the player adjusts his strategy based on the randomness of the maps. Without that, where do you draw the line? Do you Ctrl+N until you get nearby iron or crystal? What about a nearby fire shard for your fire based custom sovereign? If you have good locations you have to have comparatively bad locations. If you want them all to be "good" then you probably want a starcraft type balanced locations. That's important in mult

[quote who="marionesi" reply="11" id="3230765"] 1. I had the impression that tactical battles were also quite important in the game. You do a lot of them, and winning or losing them is often crucial to winning or losing a game. Most spells are used either in tactical battles or for tactical battles (strat buffs), and building cities and units is done so to be better at... again, tactical battles. I understand that you are trying to reduce the time spent in battles in order for players

[quote who="Nasarog" reply="2" id="3230644"]This forum is weird. All these out of context posts all over the place. Sometimes it's hard figure this place out. I for one don't see how this a dev journal of E:FE.[/quote] Fair enough. It's intended to be some behind the scene stuff that goes on as we consider ideas and mechanics (if you ever wonder what the process is behind the scenes). But if you came looking for news about new things being added to

Stardock's Art Director, Paul Boyer, will be working as a Game Designer on one of our projects. Paul has been around forever and has a ton of experience. At Stardock we believe that "everyone is on the design team" so just because Paul was the Art director before didn't mean that he didn't contribute to the design of every game he has worked on. He has been a great asset to me and is second only to Brad in people I ask for feedback on FE design ide

Try deleting everything in your "C:\ProgramData\Stardock\Elemental - Fallen Enchantress\Screens\" directory and see if that resolves the issue.

There were a few that did this, I've fixed them.

Fixed, thanks.

Fixed, thanks.

Fixed, thanks.
