Reply to No essence on city tiles anymore? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="emmagine" reply="3" id="3332873"] Part of the problem is the cap on yield total. A tile can only have a total of 9 resources. So you might find a 4/3/2, or a 3/3/3, or a 2/4/3, etc. essence seems to be the first to sacrifice. Gone are the days of clearing a stamp to find that one glorious city location with 4/5/3. Join me in asking them to put this cap in the XML so it can be modded![/quote] And where is that request so we can join? ;)

Reply to Leveling Suggestion! in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I think the HoMM solution would work here. Instead of allowing all available traits to be choosen, force to choose among 3 or 4 randomly selected of the "choosable" ones. So if for example there are 8 traits your hero qualifies to choose, you will be limited to choose among 4 of them. That's a compromise between absolute random and boring unrandomness, allows you some degree of control but at the same time brings the fun of not fully knowing what traits you will be offe

Reply to Two issues with monsters (well, maybe 3) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I agree[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="4" id="3332859"] More annoyingly... my second city's borders grew and grew, until eventually it hit upon a monster encampment about 4 squares from the starting spot (didn't even know it was there when I founded the city). This is an old UI-related issue I've had with WoM and FE. You can't tell when your borders will expand. At least if there was a visual indicator somewhere that told you when they might go up, you

Reply to About commander path in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

It seems odd to gain combat abilities from governing a city, but isn't it weird to gain city governing abilities from being in the battlefield? If we accept the second case we should accept the first case too.

Reply to Post-LH DLC ideas in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Things that would probably make sense as DLC: - Monsters pack - NPCs / Heroes pack - Items pack (Including the combo artifacts mentioned) - Quests pack - Random events pack - Complex scenarios (in the style of HoMM) - Stamps/ wildlands pack A DLC could combine two or more of those items. Things that would probably be bad received as DLC (those belong more to an expansion): - New factions - New city b

Reply to How to make wildlands worth opening in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

Very good ideas, Vendetta187. :) I agree that the "problem" are not the wildlands themsleves, but the fact that it is an underdeveloped feature. In fact, there is not a problem at all, just a feature which has been a very good idea and now should start its process of refining and improving. Wildlands are one of the unique aspects of FE and should be given some love in order to make them even better. I love the fact that wildlands make the map so "un-civilization", having place

Reply to Should I buy this game or wait for AOW3? in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

As other posters have said, both games are good ones. However, I would choose Fallen Enchantres for several reasons: - Fallen Enchantress is a lot deeper than Age of Wonders. AoW can be a bit better in the tactical part, but that's all about AoW's stronger points. FE has better empire building, better city management, research, better customization, a much more alive world, quests, and many more things. And on top of that, tactical combar in FE is not as bad, weaker than AoW b

Reply to Quickslots for spells in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

I believe that both approaches are fully compatible. Imagine that you get that new spell (or decide it's moment for a change of strategy) and from that moment you want to start using a spell. What would you do with the current system? Go pick the "new" spell and set it as favourite. With the dynamic system you could so the same and force that spell to become favourite. As you would continue using that spell, the dynamic system would keep the spell as a favourite. And if you don't use

Reply to Quickslots for spells in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

To make it even better, quick slots should be dynamic. Instead of having to configure it, it would automatically feature the spells more used. So if a player starts using a spell often it will soon automatically appear in the quick slot by itself.

[Suggestion] Excess production in city gets converted depending on city type in FE Wishlists Elemental Forums

Hello, this suggestion was originated in the thread https://forums.elementalgame.com/440710 (Resource Carryover). That's the suggestion: Currently, when a city produces more than what is needed to finish the current building/unit, the rest is wasted. That produces waste or, if a player wants to avoid it, unwanted micromangement. So the proposal is to change that behaviour, according to city type_ - If the cit

Reply to Modding request in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Those are interesting suggestions. Some can be coded with the current possibilities, some not and some others would have to be coded a bit different. Maybe you could elaborate more on what you would like each of the summoner abilities to do. However, the main problem I see with your suggestion is that in order to be balanced you should create a second branch for wizards. Maybe Summoner Vs Spellcaster? Also, to make it complete, each of the other 4 paths should have at

Reply to Dear Stardock, Will I Finally Get Modding Sanity With LH? Regards, MQPiffle. in FE Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="abob101" reply="75" id="3330243"] I choose to take a more optimistic view (possibly easier for me because I've only been here a few months, but anyway). Regarding the character traits tree.... I'd be surprised if it isn't generated in the same was the the tech tree. So it's probably just a different view of the current skill choices. Presumably/hopefully if you add ability X and make it's prereq one of those exi

[quote who="jshores" reply="74" id="3330234"] I think things are going to be worse in LH just judging by the screenshots. Starting with this one: Reduced 71%Original 800 x 565 At the very best, the above screenshot makes me think we are going to have to do UI modifications to add new paths and to implement new skill trees. At the worst, we may not be able to add new content or we may only be able to r
