Re: Kill counts and awards

"One of the F keys, maybe F3" in this context means the keyboard function-key F3, typically found at the very top of your keyboard, not the key for the letter "F." Obviously you've already found the...

Re: Eriu guide

I don't think taking blood on your pretender is a very good way to leverage into communion slaves. Either you have blood and/or astral already, in which case you already have slaves, or else you have...

Re: Commander Battles

Look, the original statement I disagreed with was, "50hp giant is worth ~250hp of *good* troops, give or take, although with gear and blessing the giant is likely even better." Clearly that excludes...

Re: Commander Battles

I'm not trying to talk about strategies for commander battles here, I'm addressing your point that 60 HP of giant units is worth 250 HP of regular units for expansion and that therefore human nations...

Re: Commander Battles

Okay. In retrospect my comment was probably so obvious to modders like you that I should have known you were suggesting an different rule.

Re: Commander Battles

That's not because of the HP, it's because Niefel Giants are sacreds with good stats and have chill auras. Try expanding with 60 HP of Jotun Hirdmans and see how much fun that it. :-/

Re: Can lifeless beings life drain?

Well, it still damages them, but doesn't heal the wielder or recover fatigue. I don't know if it causes fatigue on lifeless units.[/QUOTE]

I used to think this was true, but someone corrected me...

Re: Seasonal effects

Are you looking for a description of how the seasons affect heat/cold scales, or how cold/heat/spring/dark/etc. power work? If the latter then as Lingchih said. If the former then it's complicated,...

Re: Stacking Luck

-6% luck is good because that means 6% of the time your enemies will do negative damage to you, i.e. they'll heal you instead of hurting you. It's obviously much better to have high negative luck....

Re: Commander Battles

It can't be done with a mod, since #poorleader sets the number of units you can lead and not the max HP of units you lead. For instance, a #poorleader could still violate the rules by leading 10...

Re: Commander Battles

I thought about writing a footnote that said "Except that a commander >60 HP counts as only 60 HP, so you can still use SC pretenders etc." but I sort of figured that in practice it would up to the...

Re: Commander Battles

Variant on this game: a commander can only lead 60 HP worth of troops, including himself. Giant nations like Hinnom/Ashdod/Niefelheim could only solo, but Marverni could have small squads of elite...

Re: Exploit question

As an aside, if you want to weaken blood magic you would probably increase both magic site % and income/resources/supply %. By linearly scaling up everything EXCEPT population, you are effectively...

Re: Updated Manual?

Actually, that's actually how the manual says the missile equation works. Shield Prot should only come into play in melee, according to the manual.

Re: Updated Manual?

I struggle to accept that anyone can have 'no idea' what att 12 and def 10 mean after looking at a handful of units.

Militia has 8 attack, a soldier has 10, an elite has 13. Durr, what could they...

Re: Exploit question

On the one hand, from a decision theory perspective, removing an option which dominates all other options can increase the *interesting* set of options and thus the strategic complexity of the game....

You could also make a guess at figuring out what his scripting orders are. Did that D4 mage cast Raise Skeletons because he was scripted to do so, or was he scripted to...

Re: Updated Manual?

Formulas in the manual are invaluable IMHO. A new player has no idea what "Attack 15" or "Defense 12" means, or how that applies to what makes a unit good or bad. He can probably figure out...

Re: Exploit question

All this is true. Let me add: it used to be that the only way to break a battlefield enchantment[1] was by killing the caster, which meant that if the caster Retreated or cast Returning or was...

Re: Exploit question

That's really interesting. Was it just chance? Can you re-run the battle a few times with new randomization? (Add a unit to the replay and immediately kill it, Shift-U + Shift-K, which resets the...

Re: Terrible Player.

An unbuffed Adon (<Bless, Hold, attack>) is actually pretty weak, since he has no helmet. But yeah, an E9Nx Adon could probably take most indy provinces before he starts taking crits, since the...

Re: Special Damage in the Combat Sequence

Ambient damage like from heat/cold auras, or Cloud of Death, etc., is calculated for a unit at the very start of its side's turn. If player A and B both have units within the same ambient effect, it...
