Re: Adept's Balance Mod 1.00 ready

No, he's saying the troops are balanced now. Swords may be better than axes, but the axe troops are cheaper or have better stats to make up for it.

Make axes better and now you have cheap troops...

Re: Fear mechanics

Sermon of Courage only works once. It applies a single +2 bonus

Standards make a fairly effective counter to fear, since they raise morale every round. Only up to base+standard bonus, of course.

Re: What is the path of blood for?

The about Blood items is that they're cheap. Once you've got a good Blood economy going, you'll be pulling in far more slaves per turn than gems. Ritual spell costs reflect this, but item costs...

Re: Sea on ice

You can in fact retreat through the ice.

This caused me much frustration in one game as Early Atlantis. Not only could I not get any more Basalt Kings to the surface, but I kept losing more every...

Re: Illwinter's next project

It may be wrong, I'm no expert on copyright law, but they do claim ownership of beholders (and mind flayers.). Probably other, less famous, monsters as well.

I don't know if anyone has challenged...

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

While you're at it, how about not being able to see the position of squads already in the province using the 'y' screen?

IIRC, you can actually position them, they're just no visible.

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

Silly design then. You can still move troops around between squads or commanders in the same province, it's just less efficient. You can do anything you can do in the normal army select screen, you...

Re: When should you forge weapons?

Even minimal Regen helps a lot if you have Mistform up. A normal human will go down pretty quickly even from 1 hp a round, but if he's regening that hp...

Re: Early Game Defiler of Dreams

What's the event message, by the way? I don't think I've ever seen it, but if it's non-obvious I may have just never caught him.

Lightning should work. The hounds should stand up to it for a bit....

Re: Barbarian leader question

"Stay behind troops" means stay right behind the troops. He'll advance to farthest back squad. If that's at the front line, he'll be right there behind them.

Re: casting spells with gems

The gem limit is per spell, not per battle.

Your 3S mage can cast Will of the Fates (4S 4 gems) if he casts LotNS (3S 1gem) first.
A 2S mage could cast it by casting PotS then LotNS.
He just...

Re: Army move block

Last time I checked, it wasn't consistent. You might block the army. You might not move yourself. You might switch places.

Some have argued that size matters in figuring out which happens, but I...

Re: Gem Usage in Battle

Yeah, that's about right.

It's not quite as bad as it sounds. It will only cast on an enemy if you can fall into the AoE. It does mean when you aren't solo it has a better chance of getting...

Re: Paralyze vs SoulSlay: MR mechanics?

I don't know about Paralyze. Petrify is the bane of SCs, since it either kills outright or paralyzes.

MR checks work the same way for different spells, but you do get +1 penetration for every 2...

Re: Gem Usage in Battle

Yeah, that matches what I've seen.

It's completely buggy, except that it uses exactly the same code that's used for all the other spell targeting. Now that you know what it is, you can generally...

Re: Gem Usage in Battle

I'm not sure, but it appears that the "corner" part of the corner-self-blessing idea was suggested because a unit by itself in the corner wouldn't be close enough to other sacred units to decide to...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.84

Well, I don't think you'd empower to B1, unless you don't have any Blood access. Why would anyone who has enough blood to summon & afford Vampire Lords need to empower someone to B1 to hunt?

Re: Gem Usage in Battle

Battery units are tricky to bring if your Rudra is cloud trapezing, which is usually the case.


Also remember, if you're cloud trapezing to attack and you do take the province, your enemy might...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.84

One difference between hammers and SDRs is that hammers were necessary for everyone, so many nations needed Earth on their pretender. SDRs were only necessary if you intended to go into blood. And if...

Re: Gem Usage in Battle

I would assume the "Is this battle a big enough threat to use gems" calculation, applies to using gems to counter fatigue. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like that is what happened. 25 PD wasn't...

Re: Do you play SP?

I've played MP, but I'd don't usually have time available in the right quantities for it, so it's mostly SP for me.

I may want to play 4-5 hours one day, then not have another real chance for a...

There were misunderstandings about how the mechanics worked. Many of which have been figured out over the last 5 years.

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.84

Not really. At least compared to not having SDRs at all.

If you put SDRs at B2B2, they'd cost 20 Blood, that's only 5 less than an actual booster. Do people really spam 25 slave boosters just to...
