Reply to [Suggestion] Tech Trees (mainly Warfare) are too Lineal. Ideas to branch it more. in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I will say this - if you are playing Altarian (or a faction with access to henchmen) the tech tree is largely irrelevant past the first 2 rows of civ techs, the two techs you need to get to horses, and the 4 magic techs that lead to heroes and henchmen. That's it - after that, for the most part it barely matters what I pick - though I often b-line for tireless march. With other factions - i dunno, the tech tree seems so bland. I usually hit the mining/constructio

[quote who="Chiarden" reply="1" id="3276361"]The 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).[/quote] 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.

Reply to There aren't enough epic quests in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

The whole game is like the movie Muppets take Manhattan (dated myself there). What it needs is more Frogs and Dogs and Bears and ... Whatevers! There just isn't enough stuff. Making your own stuff can be done, but it's surprisingly limited and time consuming. They could go a long way with DLC on this game.

Reply to [Suggestions] More weapon options earlier in the tech tree in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I modded the shortsword and shortdow in my game - not to show up sooner in the tech tree but as a common goodie hut item as opposed to an uncommon one. I modded a lot of the goodie hut and lair reward stuff, and I continually add new items to it as a I go, because I think it's generally unfun to find a piece of leather armor that you'll be able to buy 5 turns in for 30 gildar.

Reply to [1.01] Making Units Unique And Balanced in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

I disagree with essentially everything here, and in fact I almost NEVER take the strength trait. Horses are not very far down the tech tree, give you the strength trait for free and a bunch of other incredible bonuses. To boot, horses are practically everywhere in a dense material world (so I'm assuming they aren't hard to get in other options- which I usually don't play) and adding them to units costs nothing but your horse count. I'm ALWAYS trading my horse

[quote quoting="post"] Raise land spell is broken. I can raise all sea tiles on the map and it's very cheap. [/quote] Actually, that's by design.

Just waiting until I can get a hero with Path of the Warrior - stupid playthrough gave me only admins at the low level and I raced to Heroes (on epic pacing, this is not much of a race) to get Naddi Arena recruited. I'll get out how the new POTW works out probably tonight. I've also moved Sweep out of POTA and into POTW because it made WAY more sense in there.

Reply to Does anyone think rivers look ugly? in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="3271725"]I really don't like the corners of rivers. If you have a zig-zag pattern it can end up looking really ugly in places. However, I understand why they have gone with this solution. It's easy to add rivers to a game like this, and that's important. Instead of going with a solution like in Civ where rivers are "between" tiles they went with them occupying a full tile. The scale of things makes it difficult to have more narrow s

OK - So I've gone ahead and did all the leg work and something is just not quite right. So lets say instead of the Burning Axe doing 9 cutting damage and 2 fire damage, you want it to do 9 cutting, 1 fire, and a further 1 fire damage for each Fire Shard you control. here is the XML I used Burning Axe Changes (i've marked the only change other than the stat change from 2 to 1 on the fire bit) [code="xml"]

Don't think I'd shell $5 for map packs. There are a lot of other things, mostly already mentioned here that I'd shell $5 for. More monsters and quests would be great - the monsters in the game get repetitive and after several play throughs, you eventually hit all the quests. Paradoxically, I'd probably also shell out $5 if it meant that the Cartographer's table was a lot more user-friendly. ;)

Per Level and fractions in FE Modding Elemental Forums

So I'm looking to make an adjustment to the Path of the Warrior, whom I feel is slightly undervalued compared to the Defender, and I'd like to give them more hit points. However, in terms of balance, probably +1HP/level is too much. So the question is how to give them either a 0.5/Level or +1 HP every TWO levels. Is 1 a boolean value? I'm guessing so since I see no other value than 1. Or can it be made to be <PerL

Reply to Settling--Do I have this right? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

There are a couple of mods in the Modding section which makes the fertile land a little more accessible, and a little more... fertile, for lack of a better word. I like playing this way more - I think SD took it a little too far - often, even on fertile, the random map will put some faction on a plot of fertile land where the next spot is behind a vsat tract of water & mountains as is not only very far away, but inhabited by monster sure to squash them.
