Hero Sword

[GrudgeBringer]

I have a 2 handed sword called a 'Hero sword'. I have NO idea where it came from but it really is kinda neat.

I don't remember finding it and I looked thru the manual and it's not in there...

Anyone heard of it?

[Stretch]

I think that they added it in CBM 1.6.

[Gandalf Parker]

Maybe this?

#newweapon 717
#name "Hero's Blade"
#dmg 9
#att 2
#def 3
#len 3
#magic
#dt_large
#end

Or this...

#selectweapon 725
#name "Hero's Blade"
#att 3
#dmg 12
#armorpiercing
#def 5
#len 3
#twohanded
#secondaryeffect 719
#end

followed by this...

#newitem
#name "Hero's Blade"
#descr "The Hero's Blade is a magical sword empowered with the spirit of heroism
, and of the meek vanquishing the mighty. The blade deals additional damage to c
reatures larger than the bearer."

They are in the CBM 1.6 mod if you are using it.

If you see any giants, poke them with it! ;)

Give it to a halfling :)
Hmm I wonder what the strongest plus smallest unit is in the game that can wield a blade.

[GrudgeBringer]

its the third one

Ashdod plz

MARKATA SCOUT!

You're probably looking at a dwarven smith who can cast invulnerability on himself.

LOL. With "Gift of Reason" we could even use that really little sticks-and-stone throwing monkey.

I was thinking of Gargoyle with Gift of Reason. But you might be right.

[BigDaddy]

I was thinking a little squad to kill certain SCs which is what its would normally be used for. The gargoyle is bigger, and more durable, but he'd also be more expensive... flying...

The smith only costs... what 8 gems including the spell? A few more if you put reinvig on him (but that's probably overkill, adding another dwarf would probably be better)... add a little chaff, and those with less hp will go down fairly well.

Hoburg Commander baaybee!

Hoburg Commander baaybee!

You could field THREE!

[Gandalf Parker]

Im sure thats reference to the space they take up.
But I had a mental image of some old vaudeville clown routine of three short little warriors rushing forward then jumping on each others shoulders stacking 3 high and beating the crap out of some poor giant.

[BigDaddy]

It would take 30 to surround a square. And that is a lot of hero swords, and probably only 6 dead champions. But it would take a long time to recruite them all. You could do the same thing if you had goblins.

[Gregstrom]

30? Please explain.

Oh, and shouldn't some friendly admin be moving this to the main forum rather than MP/AAR?

[BigDaddy]

In practice I haven't been able to get troops to attack enemy units from behind in most cases, so you can fill the 5 squares around the front of an SC with hoburgs reliably. But, you can't just set them all in a block in the middle of the field, or they'll get creamed all together. I would probably disperse them at the front and near front of the field and have them attack rear (units seem to go straighter back that way before breaking). Size 1 * 6/square * 5 squares = 30 size on hero's blade wielders.

There are still people who haven't seen the most awesome film of the millenia? :O

In other news, try a squad of four Banes with Flying Boots and Hero Blade. Chop chop, they kill anything, and cost peanuts to field.

It's the third one.

Classic.

[GrudgeBringer]

LOL, The remark "It's the third one" had nothing to do with the size of the troop or anything to do with an attack.

The post BEFORE that one had 3 different Hero swords listed and descriptions of each as he needed more information....I posted it was the third one but someone posted between us.
