Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes

You can buy an el cheapo external DVD drive for like $20. That's what I did.  Used it twice in 2 years!  I'm good with money....

My last 2 pcs have come without an optical drive

The new machine that my missus got a few months ago didn't have one either.

According to Steam, I have  played this game for 53.7 hours.  I barely remember anything about it.  Apparently I created a Skeleton guy hero named Lumpy-Lumpy Big Bum at one point....  He's still an option to play.

That's some name to come up with.

See, this is what happens when you eat cheese before bedtime.

I have 50.9 hours logged on it.

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

And how much cheese consumed in that time?

[bob48]

Probably more than was good for me.

A Cheddar overdose can be a very unpleasant experience.

^Wouldn't you just be stopped up for a while, maybe a bit more than usual?

^  For Bawb's sake, I certainly hope so!

Ha, nice!  I now have just over 700 hours in Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes.  I've created nearly a dozen custom Sovereigns, and a few custom Kingdoms & Empires as well.  I find it a bit time-consuming, but still a lot of fun. 


I do wish there was an option to delete custom characters and factions, however -- if only so to get rid of the evidence of my shame.    A couple of us folks over on the forums actually put in a request for this "delete" button.  I doubt that's something Brad will implement, but I can hope!

I forgot to add this interesting tidbit:  Brad clarified that the update was v2.6 when he first started working on it, but subsequently changed it to v3.0 after he added a bunch of new quests.  I enjoy the quests in FE:LH, so reading that made me happy.   

It was already great just that another update was coming with bug-fixes and improvements to AI & performance.  For him to add actual content as well (including the Tower of Knowledge) is simply gravy as far as I'm concerned. 




Speaking of the Tower of Knowledge, here's the Empires' version in a game I started today: 






One thing I've come to really appreciate about this game (that I didn't at first) is how there's an obvious difference in motif between the Kingdoms and the Empires, yet they're still aesthetically similar enough that you can (generally) easily identify building types regardless of which faction type you're playing as.  So whether you're playing as an Empire or a Kingdom, you can still recognize a Workshop, a Study, a Garden, etc. when looking at a settlement. 

It's one of the many little touches -- which ultimately, perhaps aren't actually that little -- that make FE:LH such a joy to play for me.

Playing drunk again?

Judging by how completely I've forgotten this game, I'm going to go with 'yes'.

[Gusington]

That would suggest that you sometimes play sober.

[bob48]

Perish the thought!
