Re: SE4 weapon index

I like the elegance of your system, but it also abstracts. In your example, thermal imaging helps in all situations, when in fact it only helps in certain situations. To really model it, yes you do...

Re: SE4 weapon index

Multiplication is the way probability actually works for independent factors in mathematics and the universe at large.

For example, I remember asking a kid in high school if he needed a ride...

Replacements wanted for PBW Proportions Mod games

PBW Proportions Game #2 is officially over (Gamilon shows that slow expansion is not required - just start conquering!).

Re: SE4 weapon index

Fyron, oh I see, yes.

SJ, that's an interesting formula I don't think I've seen before. Personally, I think it should work like actual independent causes or combined factors in mathematical...

Re: SE4 weapon index

Ya, I strongly agree on that. The way Space Empires adds together to-hit chances is an extremely powerful effect. Reducing the size of those additions helps a lot to maintain balance and reduce the...

Re: SE4 weapon index

I have some formulae for balancing for my Proportions mod.

Range and hit bonus and special abilities are important, but subjective and depend on conditions. Contrary to Fyron's thinking, I think a...

Re: Water magic on land?

It does. I have also used (fire and) ice drakes with non-resistant troops. I just spread them thinner. Not then as a major strategy, just something that can help.

And to drift off topic, cave...

Re: Water magic on land?

I put them in small groups just behind a group of cold-resistant melee troops, with orders to Fire Closest. This way, they usually use their short-range breath attack without getting hurt by enemy...

Re: Water magic on land?

Ice Drakes can be good if you have other cold-immune troops, and place them appropriately.

Infantry of Ulm is no good in small numbers, but it gets strong when one has the patience to mass enough...

Re: Vista?

Reason 28,571 to upgrade to something other than Vista. Like Win 2K Pro.

Re: 11nations mod

Ya, the description of the Venerable Warrior unit says they have "centuries of experience", but apparently in terms of skills, this only got them +1 to attack and defense (11 each).

Re: Best Unit in the Game... Any thoughts?

I think Air Elementals are still very much worth it. They can tip the scales in battles (especially if you do several at once), and still only require an Air-1 mage with one gem.

False Horrors are...

Re: About Champion Skull

Bah. It lets you stack yet something else on your warriors, with no risk, indefinitely. I generally make at least one in all my SP games where I'm paying attention to trying to keep some heroes alive.
