Mod New Nation: Sylvania (Elves, son! - Update v1.1)

zepath · #1 November 21st, 2006, 07:23 PM

Frostmourne27, well, I've been embarassed by AI nations in the research field before... and the difference (exceeding every other LA nation plus two other mod nations) was quite sharp when pumping out Loremasters, esp. with air mages making research boosting items for them. It doesn't seem to unbalance Sylvania, as I know the same could be done with other nations, but research is definitely a strong suit here. Anyway, I too have found no limit to the uses for Spring Aspect Archers. I may end up nerfing their damage to 0 as the ability to entangle en masse is simply brutal against heavy opponents.

Especially when used in combination with blade dancers.

Y do Phoenix Guards have fist as a weapon?

Kind of makes my bless strat rather pointless

Possibly a type in the .dm? Or he forgot to make their weapons. It should be very easy to fix.

Well i looked in the file. There weapon is listed and such it appears so i have no idea y it shows up as fist.

Doesn't show up as a fist for me - show's up as dawn's edge or what-have-you.

Incidentally, it's a great mod. I just wish when the AI would build more aspect archers - it does very well with blade dancers and masters, even with glade riders, but very rarely uses the highly effective aspects.

A cool mod (and i am quite an elf hater

).

I discovered one potential minor bug though:
The lance glade rider has as weapons a light lance and the eldar blade. He has no ambidextrousity though, so his 2 weapons have only 4 and 6 attack !
And i also have a hard time to imagine how you can fight with a lance and a sword.
Furthermore he has even a shield.

Another little bug in the nametypes:
#addname "Anardil of Sylvnaia"

Zepath, this mod is beautifull, but I find it a bit overpowered. They got powerfull mages,an almost perfect army, sailing... I think the four variety of aspect archers is too much, one would have been enougth. As it is now, you've got no way to escape their firepower !

It is however a great mod, even if you shouldn't have mixed high elves and sylvan elves, 'cause it gives them too much strategic flexibility.Can someone tell me what is their flaw ?

Humakt, if you think that this nation is "overpowered" then maybe you could try out Sombre's CBM version. We are currently having a game with 7 CBM variants from mod nations to see how they compare against each other. One position would be open to a replacement player (Zepath's Kharam Dzu mod) - would you like to take over those, maybe?

Humakty · #10 July 6th, 2007, 09:33 AM

What's CBM ?
I am a bit young as a player to compete with the oldest players ( in term of experience).I like Kharam Dzu, and tested it, and it seemed to me they have more weakness than Sylvania, they are slow,mostly unarmored, and get trampled by packs 'cause they are small.
But maybe it is my Ork blood that makes me criticize...
