Semi-Official Drool Over the Next Patch Thread

[Edi]

Having seen the descriptions during the course of the proofreading, I'm positively salivating over this patch. Just on that basis, it's going to be great, especially for Ulm, but also for LA Abysia. So two of my favorite nations (Ulm and Abysia) both getting new/improved stuff and even though I don't know what it is (except in general terms) or how it plays, this going to be sweet indeed...

Yah for the new patch. Bring it on! My black steel needs some polish.

[Cor2]

Umm can you delay that patch for a couple of weeks, I am in a MP war with Ulm

Like ulm needs any more boosting!
EA Ulm sacred troop is way underpriced and is probably the second best unit in the game.

For 25 Gold 17 Resource. Sacred, F/M Survival. Great Sword. 12 Prot. 13 At 17 def if I remember right?

Bleh!

Bleh!

13 def, 13 Str. 15 hp. MR 8 for some reason !! OMG, whole EA Ulm has 8 MR !

The reason is they live in fear of hostile magic and when you fear something so strongly it's more likely to have an effect. Look at the psychological power of vodoo.

Erf?
EA Ulm != MA Ulm
EA Ulm != LA Ulm

The Ulm changes are to Middle and Late Era, EA Ulm is not getting boosted. What gave you that idea?

[Endoperez]

Not everyone knows, or reads, the progress page at http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom3/dom3progress.html . Lately, most people have just gone "wow, Ulm's going to get better, it's about time" without bothering to mention what eras are affected. Here's the list of changes that affect Ulm.


* MA Black Priests.
* Black Halberds.
* Iron Darts, Iron Blizzard.
* Iron Angel.
* Anathamant sprite.
* Black priest sprite.
* Ghoul Guardians no longer sacred, but got black halberds instead.
* Ulrich got sacredawe, lost sacred status, recieved makemonster (ghouls) and got a slight stat boost.
* Lord Guardian got sacredawe.
* Plate armors sligtly altered in the direction of Arralens thoughts. Plate of Ulm more so. Black plate inf descr slighy altered.

I gave EA Ulm a second look and I think I like the nation. Nice enough variety of troops, some stealth, the kind of magic I like. Antlered shamans offer decent research capabilities - nice price, holy, 6 RP, young, and randoms. Archers are also quite good.

Endo: Are you sure the Anathemant is for Ulm and not Abysia?
