Re: Fix to TacAI Decoys

Incorrect. We're calling it an exploit because in smaller scale games clever use of decoys results in benifit that so far outweigh their cost as to be considered exploitative.

Changing the AI to...

Re: Any games going up soon?

In defense of blitz - I think its absolutely the best way to learn. A long drawn out game spanning weeks where you're getting your *** kicked is no fun. Much better to play a 2 hour game and lose,...

Re: Fix to TacAI Decoys

This is more problematic than it seems. The obvious for instance would be single pretenders, or other SCs. But even smaller for instances would be other strong single units. A blessed hydra for...

Re: Multiple attacks on Commander question

the w9 bless doesn't give the same bonuses as regular quickness (+3 att/def), its a different effect. Not sure about herioc quickness though.

Re: Fix to TacAI Decoys

Dynamic squad regrouping I'm not so sure about - as I think the code for this could be tricky. I would like to see some kind of rally system though, for instance if you have guys on their way off the...

Fix to TacAI Decoys

I got involved in a chat yesterday about dom2 in the irc room. The subject of decoys came up - someone suggested a post about it, so here it is.

Decoys are an abuse of the tac targetting ai....

Help with making a map

I want to make a good 3-4 player blitz map.

I found this satalite image of europe, and I thought it would make a good base (light photoshoping to give it a more conventional dom2 feel).

But I...

Re: Water 9 bless?

Was that just a poorly written line - or do you really mean they do not get extra attacks, and that the only change is not listed under movement?

Re: Water 9 bless?

Hm, I was testing it using Tien Chi, I guess one of the priests must have casted quickness.

So they -do- get extra attacks - its just only listed under movement?

Re: Water 9 bless?

quickness is noted in your stats under attack rating, etc.

I gave a pretender a w10 bless to test it - units get a +5 defense rating, but no note of quickness appears anywhere. If I bless...

Water 9 bless?

Am I doing something unspeakably wrong or does water 9 not give units quickness? Was this removed in a patch or something?

Re: Anyone up for blitz today?

So it seems that gamesurge is down (or just the web ui is). Either way, if you're interested in playing - I will be hosting a server starting now. Assuming there are players who join by 6:15, this is...

Anyone up for blitz today?

I need to feed my addiction for Dom2 MP. A good blitz game tonight at around 6pm us EST (I think GMT -5) if there are interested parties.

If the game goes long (past turn 30 or so) and the turns...

Re: Machaka in CB

Now I'm no expert, but... I think it really depends on the size of the game. The longer the game, the more punishing bad scales are.

I ran a bunch of tests on black hunters over the last couple nights.

Re: Machaka in CB

You know what. In what might be an absolute first in the history of internet forums, I'm gonna admit I think I am wrong.

With an E9N9 bless, they really might be worth it. I always tested them...

Re: Machaka in CB

Two quick notes:

I'm not saying that black hunters suck per say. I'm sure that with a F9 bless, in the late game, you can field 30 of them and have it be an effective force.

But if you are at a...

Re: Units in Dominions
