[quote who="seanw3" reply="133" id="3237627"]Rebalancing Monsters to Prevent Kiting on the Large and Powerful 1. Does it match the games focus? Yes. Large, one unit monsters are part of the game. Making them impossible or nigh impossible to kite seems a must have. 2. Does it solve a problem? Yes. With the right amount of extra moves, counterattacks, teleports (called flying strikes and burrowing), random charges and deadly ranged attacks the problem

I agree with this with some addit

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="7" id="3237593"] I'll toss my idea here too: Have the tatical map decrease in size every X turns. This allows units to initially kite, but with a time limit, as eventually they must duke it out in melee.

do you guys understand that this system totally DESTROY the balance that is already on the edge with turn limit all melees will be even more useless the point of melees is that it take N turns to start doing things, but when they do they are strong making a limit means every melee is so much less effective also its basically a kiting exploit even empowered basically every battle restart with melee far aways FORCED to take n hits each rest

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="2" id="3237547"]In my mod I am moving most tactical health regeneration over to a 10 round timer, ie it stops working after the unit has acted 10 times. It doesn't remove the problem with units filling up health by idling in easy battles, but it should put a stop to those who use it to build super-high initiative units that go in, fight, then retreat and kite until they are full health again.[/quote] thats a good idea with mons

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="98" id="3237466"] Strategic regen keeps the downtime on an injured hero. If you fight a battle and get pounded with say 4 hp left. You're probably not going to do the next fight until the hero is somewhere around 20 hp for a little cushion. It takes a long time to heal naturally, so regen is saving you time for a healing hero [/quote] but you dont need to heal naturally if you have regen you surely have heal too<

yes exactly i though the same basically to make things perfect we would need a diminishing return for many stats, so that stacking doesnt make them op like dodge is anyway the point is a good player knows he has to stack whatever he is going to get, there is no point in building something with 5% dodge, 5 accuracy, 5 spell resist stacking is the correct way of playing things so balance should prevent the right gameplay from being op if a wrong ga
