too powerfull orion
 

hello,
i'm new in this game but im sure if Orion mercenary is the key to easy victory, he is too powerfull, it's bad thing, it make game sensless.



Please tell me how to eliminate him from game, is any mod or patch?

Re: too powerfull orion
 

He is good, but there are many, many things that can kill him.
It would be possible to mod him to be weaker, but he is really not as great as all that.

I hate Orion because with him always one buy = few new victories and lands. If computers buyed him first: I lost, if i buy: I win
if possible i will be happy turn him off

Orion is too cheap for his value - he should be, maybe, 150 or 200 gold. But he rarely plays an important role in a game, except maybe if you are playing against AIs set to Easy with independents at strength 3 on a small map.

You can mod Eternal Knights to make them weaker; the instructions are in the Modding Manual that you can get on the Shrapnel downloads page.

thx Saber, i will read this manual and maybe something can do.
Have you ever seen game with no-orion on first place in hall of fame?

Re: too powerfull orion
 

As soon as you have built your first SC orion will no longer be an issue http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.
Similiar with some REALLY powerful troops like F9W9 blessed Vans or massproduced devils.

Orion is really not an issue you will soon see. SCs maybe are though.

SC? what does mean?

Super combatant.

For starting try a VQ god with 2fire 2air 3earth and 1water as magic, script her to quickness, ironskin, fireshield , mistform and mirrorimage, then attack enemy archers.

This vq will reliably beat almost any indep armies and be tough for 200 troop ai armies also.

Whos Orion, ive never seen or this thing.

Re: too powerfull orion
 

He's not the most powerful mercenary in my opinion. There's an air mage which comes with 30? slyphs! I guarantee that air mage would easily kill Orion and his men.

I wouldn't make any changes... my opinion.
