Reply to Formations, Tough XP Needed - 7 Tough Units Lined Up - Dragon Fries 3 Before Move, Then Kills 1 More In Second Move. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="sweatyboatman" reply="7" id="3341898"] Yeah, I have noticed in my games that battles against stronger mobs tend to give very disappointing amounts of experience. If the game is really reducing experience gain based on the strength of the army, all I can say is that that is a totally stupid idea. Right now, the feedback loop on experience is completely broken. There's just too many things that muddy the water. First, there's no way to know

[quote who="Sanati" reply="6" id="3341865"] Quoting OliverFA_306, reply 3The combat to XP rate has been changed to 0.05. In FE was 0.075. You can see it el ElementalDefs.xml That really has nothing to do with what's wrong with the exp in LH. Dragons have a much, much, higher combat rating than a few weak darklings, but the darklings usually give much more exp. I believe it's the game adjusting the exp down when a weaker army kills something much stronger, so they

[quote who="dday235" reply="18" id="3342621"] Personally though what I'd like to see is more powerful Heros, but with a perma-death penalty. So instead of just getting wounded when you defeat them, they actually die. Would balance out their power a bit if they are beefed up.[/quote] I agree with that suggestion [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

Reply to My desperate solution to integrating Heroes in Elemental.... in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

My question is: Why the unit commander would always be the last to die? Seems rather ilogical to me. For years and years the "hero dies last" issue has been my biggest complain about Heroes of Might and Magic. A full army of thousands of soldiers gets decimated to just a few, yet the hero somehow manages to survive. Always. Is not fun. Not at all X| Commanders and wizards need to be protected and kept at the back part of the battlefield. That's a matter of tactics and stra

Reply to Suggestion: Allow heroes to join units/Participate from the sidelines in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="10" id="3342699"] Quoting ampoliros5, reply 7The devs need to change the XP split to start after 2 heroes and also change the XP nerf to be not quite as nerfed. No they don't. Based on what? IMO hero level-up traits need to be buffed. Each trait should be far superior than the current meager traits we get (even the new Warrior traits are still blah.) The XP split among heroes in the same group is just fine.&nb

That was the single feature I hated most about HoMM, and I am really happy that Fallen Enchantress is not at all like that. On the other hand, it sounds very Legendary to step aside while your tropos fight and die [e digicons]X|[/e]

[quote who="ins2" reply="3" id="3342321"] 3. Heroes in my opinion should NOT be comparable or "equal" to other units, but different. They are not brute-force army pieces, but global enchanters, quest-completers, surgical-strike units, support and buffing units, mages, summoners, generals etc. As it stands, I find a lot of uses for my heroes other than soldiering, and I use my armies for the serious fights. Best, bendiwolf [/quote] I agree that generals

Reply to [Unofficial Questions] Would you support test options of no XP splitting or higher base XP for heroes? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

1-Yes, I would. That would be the way to check who is right, the supporters of removing the split or the supporters of keeping it. 2-Don't remember who said it (maybe it was even you?) but you can change this value in ElementalDef.xml. In FE was 0.075 and in LH is 0.05. I made the change and IMHO FE's values are working better. 3-IMHO Heroes fall behind units as game progresses. Part of the problem (but not only) is the fact that trained units use the same weapon

Didn't notice Frogboy had commented on this. If mega stacks winning multiple battles in a turn are the problem then just make each army only able to attack once per turn. That is a much tidier solution than making all movement stop and it allows the player to still take loot if they win

Why is healer a Defender trait? I should be a Commander trait.

Reply to Horses and wargs as a resource in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

An alternative to raise upkeep would be to require resources in order to "heal" units. I'll explain with an example: If you have a 3 people mounted unit, you need 3 horses to build it, but when one of them is killed, the lost horse magically appears. It should cost an actual horse to regain that person in the unit. And the same for the rest of resources.

Reply to [Suggestion] Grouping Cyndrum Demons in LH Support Elemental Forums

That would be great, but in order to make it possible there is an issue to be solved: Which would be the XP of the new combined unit? My suggestion is just make the arithmetic average of the combined unit. So if you combine a 20xp unit with a 10xp unit the resulting unit would have 15xp.

Another way to solve pioneer bank issue: During Pioneer construction reduce food by 30. Those 30 food will be returned once the Pioneer is built or cancelled. That way constructing Pioneers don't result in additional growth during construction. Additional growth will only come after construction.

Great! Now I am curious to learn about those faction buildings ;-)

Reply to How to restrict an improvement to 1 *ever* ? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Yes, but the important thing about the lending house in this case is that it provides a one time lasting effect. I was just using it as an example of this behaviour. With that code I believe that the unique building will substract one unit of the unique resorce, and this substraction won't be "fixed" after demolishing the building / losing the city. I have not tested it because I am not at home but I am fully convinced it works.

Reply to How to restrict an improvement to 1 *ever* ? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I think the key is to remove your unique resource as a building effect, not as a CostResourceEffect, because when you demolish a building you get back the resources marked as construction costs. The CoreImprovements.xml has the GuildLendingHouse improvement, that gives 2000 gold just once. Perhaps looking at it could help you. Use that code and replace Gold by your resource and 2000 by -1 [code="xml"] Resource</ModT
