Re: Cave provinces!
 

I guess Cave Provinces = Darkness, perhaps restricted/prohibited flying, too. But I think they're stretching it as far as archers are concerned... Line of sight etc. Caves so big that they allow heavy cavalry to charge ? Uhh..
I'd rather see something more intresting and probably radical, like size restriction. Creatures size 3+ can't enter. But it won't happen.

Fire Arrows - a bit puzzling. If it works for chakram and shuriken, why not for slingers ? Actually I didn't have a chance to test it with slingers.

Re: Cave provinces!
 

Fire Arrows does work with slings.

Since many Agarthans are size 3+, it'd be rather odd if they couldn't enter their native terrain.

It does make sense that in general ranged attacks be much less useful in caverns. I think it's somewhat the case anyway due to the darkness. But a range limit would make sense.

I gave size3 as example because I believe Cavalry is size3. I could be wrong.
Somehow caves feel more appropriate to small parties (read: RPGs), I can't picture big armies fighting there.
Uhhh, it's not all lost ! I hope there's a big supply problem in caves. That would sort of fix it.

Re: Cave provinces!
 

I'm happy and suprised because I requested that there would be support for cavernous provinces but IIRC devs didn't say anything about it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Cave provinces!
 

Aren't you more glad that #defmult will work? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I just hope they realize that its not only 20 that doesn't work :X

And regarding caves, I'd expect that a whole civilization living in a cave would have several large open areas (either natural, or artifical through mining), to get together. And also so they can breath :X

Re: Cave provinces!
 

I was thinking huge underground caverns, not what we typically associate as 'caves'. If there were actually cramped provinces, it might be sort of messed up.

Re: Cave provinces!
 

I'm fairly sure that this is refering to the Cave forts that Argatha and Abyssia have.

Re: Cave provinces!
 

I am just happy doom horrors have been fixed, its eaten 4 of my hall of hero leaders, 2 pretenders, 2 army comanders. Suppose I was bound to be affected being in 7 MP's.

When's v3.02 coming out?

But it says provinces...
