The morale didn't have anything to do with it, I routed on 75% hp loss thanks to my PD and retreating mage. You didn't have any fear effects anyhow. And had you tried to take the other province, you would have had to deal with my other, better harbinger. Who died this turn to a lucky arrow prevent his fire resist buff. Sometimes the RNG is not kind...

The bad thing about having a designated forger(s) is that they have their own will, too.

The bad thing about being a designated forger is that you usually have better things to do than to forge stuff for those complaining people.

Never a good thing. But thanks for those booster items anyway Caelum, sorry to see your pretender go.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

what items? feel free to elaborate. I am sure we are all curious.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Can anyone explain this to me? I had a commander move east from ashdod to white peaks, while at the same time 200troops and a dozen commanders moved west along the same path.
both movements were hostile territory movements.

The only possibilities I was aware of were that these two forces meet in battle at ashdod, or meet in battle at white peaks...

Yet somehow instead my scout ended up in white peaks fighting and the enemy army ended up in ashdod fighting... without having met along the way?


I wasn't this was aware except possibly in the case of all flying armies or something?

Anyone have any idea what happened? I mean the gameplay ramifications are totally irrelevant and don't matter, I'm just curious about a mechanic I thought I understood that apparently I don't understand...

I try to pride myself on understanding all the gameplay mechanics as well as anyone else :(


Actually this could possibly be explained if c'tis had teleported onto ashdod on this turn thus making the movement friendly and occurring before hostile movements...

hrmm but in that case I think my scout should've stayed inside the fort and done nothing having had his avenue of movement aborted? I couldn't afford any pd because I have no income so I didn't actually have anyone in position to witness a teleport... could c'tis please state weather they teleported onto ashdod or not? I already know the army has astral mages there anyways so I would gain no additional information (still having no idea what possible changes were made to the army since the last time I saw it)... this would help me analyze the mechanic better... (no units were left on patrol due to my certainty about the trigger of battles in the manner I've already described turned out to be false)

Two armies don't necessarily meet if they move past each other.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

....and it happens a lot more often than you might think, at least in my experience. I'd say maybe 5% of the time.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Heard of it happening but never seen it myself. 5% sounds really dubious.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

If you mean armies moving at each other, and passing on to the other's original position without fighting, it happens plenty. It happens even more in SP since your armies are much smaller than the AIs. If that's not what you're talking about than I am not sure what you mean :P

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Yes, this is what my post refered to. Although obviously I can't speak for namad's post, so it may not be on this exact mechanic.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Sorry, namad, but answering that question at this time would give the vets more information about my research priorities than I want them to have.
