For the record, I think shrink is great as is, great way to deal with high-attack enemies (shrink them then kill them last), and Life magic NEEDS a spell like this.

Antipathy is a great example. It just doesn't do quite enough. Can it be 20%, and scale with death shards (perhaps increase cost slightly)? Then it's a useful way to mess up an enemy's economy, now it barely moves the needle.

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="2" id="3357958"] Replete spelling errors in game text in a commercial product is not the best way to come off as professional nor well-polished. I do have a number of friends who are programmers ... it truly baffles me how poor computer programmers tend to be at spelling and grammar. Computers tend to be far less forgiving of typos than humans (grammar nazis like myself aside, perhaps) ... so how is it a mind that can type thousands or even mill

[quote quoting="post"] Oi ... there are a huge number of typos throughout LH. :/ Would it kill Stardock to hire a grammar nazi for $10/hour? :/ I would think with Brad's mention on how many lawyers he's had to hire, Stardock would have a grammarian on hand, as certain common grammar errors can flip the intended meaning of a message ... sorry, big pet peeve of mine ... maybe a thread could be started where we could list all the grammar malfunctions we find instead of

For the record, blizzard is amazing and does not need any adjustment, it is a fearful army killer. It scales with shards and benefits from evoker traits. Yet the 2 turn casting time forces some strategy (or just get the savant trait). For those who think it is useless, I humbly suggest you try playing with it more. I am afraid of blizzard getting nerfed or buffed, it is perfect as-is.

[.91 Suggestion] Separate Magic and Mundane items in designs in LH Support Elemental Forums

I know it is late in development, so this would probably have to wait for after v1. A big annoyance in unit design is the way upgrades work now. Specifically, when iron-costing and crystal-costing items are all available for upgrade. Is there a way to make magic swords and mundane swords, metal armor and magic armor, etc, into separate categories? While it is possible you would sometimes want the "best item period" on some unit designs, I think players would usually want

Birth of Summer. Comes too late in the game, and costs too much mana for its unpredictable results. I love, love, love the idea of this spell, but early to mid game is when it makes a difference. By late game, there is almost zero chance this could swing you to victory. It's a great spell to play around with, of course, but it has little strategic value. If you lack land to settle, you'll never get to this spell in time to avoid losing to the real-estate rich players.<

Curgen's Volcano. Got excessively over-nerfed, is now completely useless. As it stands now, if you can cast this, you have already won. You might as well just cast the Spell of Making and Win. Or cast every damage causing strategic spell you have, multiple times. Some of us used it to make mountains, not destroy. How else can you make mountains? Keep the 10 turn casting time with immobilization. Just bring the casting cost down to 750, so that it remain

Agree on guardian wind. Since it is so situational, then it should make ranged attacks almost un-usable. IE, make it even better at what it does. Otherwise, there needs to be an additional benefit. +1 init also? That way it can be a weaker haste that works on the whole army.

Nature's call. Somewhat expensive. And the randomized nature makes it harder to use strategically. Will it be swarming wolves, poisoning naja, mauling bear? It's always great to use a disposable unit to distract the enemy, but this spell has no use outside suiciding what you get. I like the randomized animal, but make it 3 packs of wolves if you get wolves, not 1. 2 naja if you get naja, not 1. The bear should come with a bear cub. Also, have a chance of summoning 1 gr

Reply to 0.91 Suggestion - Deorcnysse should have a permanent garrison in LH Support Elemental Forums

I've only seen Deorcnysse get retaken by wildlands once, and I have played a whole lotta games. However, the AI always, always gets Deorcnysse before me, precisely because they just send in a crappy unit to take it. Small garrison makes sense. But just taking it from the AI players makes sense too.

Heart of Fire costs 100 mana- not cheap. I can see how it is OP in player hands, but the high mana cost is a decent offset. Aura of grace, on the other hand, is much cheaper. 30 I think? I think if Aura of Grace also cost 100 mana, it'd be hard to do both.

It's not a demand for money or else you'll attack. It's more of a loan, paid back over time.

I have EXACTLY the same problem. I created a custom faction with no strengths, only a weakness, and that helped, but even with that race I generally crush expert. I have created a custom faction I think is "overpowered" without relying on an exploit. Got steamrolled against all ridiculous AIs, but that was just one game. I have tried playing with ONE opponent set to ridiculous, the rest expert but somehow one of the expert AIs beat him up, and I easily finished th

The problem is that "+Crushed" shouldn't display over an immune unit, it can be confusing. Well, maybe the first time or two you see it. Abeix laughs at your attempts to knock him prone. Bring some fire or ice mages to the party, though, and he won't be around long.

You are right that they they are the best army boosters in the game.[/quote] +3 makes sense. Still very useful, and still worth getting especially early game.
