Re: vine whips in conceptual balance 4.0
 

Damn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif There goes one strategy out the window. AOE + entangle seemed like a powerful combo.

9+2d6-2d6 actually, but it will average at 9 damage.

Well... only if you are thinking about it only from the offensive point of view. I still remember the first time I put a vine shield on a tartarian and attacked a triton province. It's pretty close to the same thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

how about something that radiates heat with charcoal shield, vine shield and chi shoes/horned helm (to attack)

Re: vine whips in conceptual balance 4.0
 

Its been awhile, but the false fetters morning star got AoE in this mod? I don't think that worked, either.

All in all this is totally a great mod, and nearly everyone agrees since almost all mp games that I've seen posted use it.

Heroes in 5.1
 

Ouch! Is it really intentional that some "heroes" have a morale of _8_??? Broken Empire Ermor gets Zirru the Grand Thaumaturg who's fairly decent - but I find it hard to believe that any national hero is supposed to have morale 8. Unless maybe they're hobbits, or otherwise mentioned as being cowards. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Heroes in 5.1
 

no it doesn´t make much sense. He has a morale of 7 actually in the base game and I overlooked that incredibly low score when making the hero mod. Should be fixed to 13 or 14 if a new version gets made http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif . Thanks for pointing it out.

Re: Heroes in 5.1
 

Yeah, I checked it last night and even in the base game he comes with 7 or 8. Think it's a bug of sorts.

Re: Heroes in 5.1
 

Any idea on when an "official 5.1" may be finished? Q.M.? Not badgering, just wondering if it's in the works.
