Re: Getting National Heroes - How Long?
 

I never get a hero when it would be useful. When I don't need one, they show up.

Its a multiplayer game. Random events should be useful but not a game-breaker. MP players tend to want to claim they won by their better strategy not the luck of a player.

Im more of a solo player myself, and Ive created add-ons to throw more random chaos into the game. But I do try to understand that things like PbEM, MultiPlayer, multiple operating systems, all can answer the "why" for many things I wish the game did.

I am happy to see that the MP things seems all ironed out now and solo-play features are being addressed more in the Dom3 version (such as AIs and random maps)

Re: Getting National Heroes - How Long?
 

Me too. I'm primarily a solo gamer so I hope there's a lot of goodies in the solo/AI department.

Very true... I've been in multiplayer games where my opponent found a magic site to recruit free banes on day_3 and then another magic site to recruit free devils on day_11. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
Even when I know my fate is death I will fight to the bitter end to experience battles like HelmsDeep. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
Only difference is no rescue arriving... also this allows my opponent to enjoy his victory longer. The opponent is more likely to ally with me in a future game knowing I will fight to the bitter end.

I do MP and SP about equally for Dominions... I definitely look forward to the improved AIs and random maps.

If you have 0 luck scale, there is 1.9% chance that you will not have a hero by turn 130. (Given the amount of players and games this is bound to happen for someone.)

If you have 3 luck scale, there is 8.4% chance that you will not have a hero by turn 40.
