Well for me it's like saying "any" weapon could kill a vampire or a werewolf now whereas the old way you would have needed a "piercing wooded" weapon for vampires and a "silver piercing or slashing" to kill a werewolf. These are just basic examples. But, different damage type would have more or less quality based on armor hit as well as creature types. Now with dumbing down you just pick your weapon of choice some area axe that hits 3 targets at

Now I get it there are just people who like to cheat and then brag about their accomplishments and then those that love them. Yeah right "I'm" the forum troll hahah look in the mirror.

1.29 works great for me not a single crash and up to 100 turns now. I guess it goes to show an i7 with vista 64 and an ATI RAEDON POWER COLOR 5770 HD 1gb video card is the way to go these days. ;) The old is still better than the new I see.

[quote who="Darxim" reply="10" id="3320827"]I just claimed my first victory in a Ridiculous game this morning. It took a few games, but I got it. If you start a game and there aren't any yields near your starting city, just quit and start over, because if you can't expand, you're not going to win. I did each of the victories (saving before each one, then reloading and not doing it). Magic and Diplomatic victories are far too easy, and feel like cheating. &n

[quote who="sjaminei" reply="32" id="3320933"]Testing it, and my starting positions seems worse than before. (decent food/production or good essence, not both) I really REALLY want you guys to implement some scaling regarding starts. Legendary Start was fricking awesome in CiV series, and something similar would be great in FE. [/quote] ;)

Hi Kryo, workin on the weekend are yah? ;)

Is there a way we can "turn off" the way Heroes appear in the game in LH? I rather like the way they appear on the maps rather than just another "static" way of doing things. Having them on the map made exploring fun, now what do we have to explore for except silly quests and finding other players? You should have at least made it "OPTIONAL". Pffft another way to screw up the fun of the game.

Nevermind question answered in FAQ about Legendary Heroes. ;)

The one where you pick the type of difficulty the AI opponents will be. As it has all the levels of difficulty per opponent could you please add one more "RANDOM"? It has Novice to Ridiculous but no RANDOM and that would be awesome to add this little feature so a player doesn't know what he's up against when he runs into those opponents. It might be a pushover novice or it might be a Ridiculous or something in between.

[quote]The second major cut is in the form of damage types. Previously, in combat players had to remember a lot of different damage types going into combat and what worked on what, an so forth. Both Stardock and its players found this confusing, and as such they’re cutting damage types from the game and replacing them with weapons that have different abilities. Axes will have Cleave, Warriors might have Crushing Blow, and so forth

[quote]Bad: -AI still makes no use of mages, even when it has the crystal. Archers AND mages would make it very hard to steamroll, and force you to change army design during wars. -AI still could build its stacks more efficiently.

[quote who="halmal242" reply="27" id="3320094"]Quite the contrary I actually prefer playing with magic centered characters, All I am saying is that a lower/mid level mage should have much more difficulty landing such a crippling spell on a boss monster. The mechanic is simple for spell calculation, Spell Mastery - Spell Resistance = Chance for a spell to hit and not be resisted. I am just saying unless someone specializes almost exclusively it should not be possible to land a non

I also think the AI should keep some kind of database on the amount of times in "previous" games you have mistreated it or defeated it so that eventually until the humaan has actually lost a game the game AI becomes more and more aggressive towards the humaan player from the start and if there are a lot of them then they will ally much earlier in the game and go after the most likely exploiting, cheating and arrogant gloating humaan winner. This would giv

You used an example to support your argument, that humans being able to use magic to bring a much more powerful creature down to a level where a human can beat it is wrong. Yet, the example doesn't support this, because both beings are of the same kind and roughly the same power level. [/quote] And what are "So
