[quote who="davrovana" reply="30" id="3338898"]What if Warg Dens were guarded by 3 timber wargs (the pack leaders), and Horses were guarded by Troll Warrior armies (the trolls eat 'em!)? Then it'd be harder to just snag them, you'd have tyo fight for 'em, a la darkling villages and ogre dens. Probably still easier to spawn less, but making more of an opportunity cost to snagging the resource could prevent mount saturation. [/quote] As easy as the

Reply to Disapointed by summoner in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3338135"]My 2 cents (to recap) is this: 1. Getting the AI to summon things effectively is a lot of work. 2. The current balance doesn't make summoning that effective a strategy. Therefore, I'd like to see summoning boosted substantially. In tactical battle, I think you should be able to summon multiples. You could have each additional summon cost more mana than the last. I think that alone would

berzerk means just that. Basically losing your mind so retreating would be an option. Ever play X-Com? Worked quite the same way in that game as well. Unit could run, fire, fall down and cry, just about anything when berzerk, of course in X-Com it was called Panic but same thing just berzerk uses more adrinilin so even more likely to run away or rout. :{p

Reply to [balance] moving the spell of mastery tech in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"]Since this affects both fe and fe lh, maybe we can fix it for both. The spell of mastery tech comes too early in the magic tech tree. A lot of AIs just head there and build the towers, rather than spend the gold/iron/crystal on units or something's else. They also don't actually try for the VC much. My thought on this is to move the spell mastery tech back past the third book of the magi to ens

Reply to Some thoughts after beating the game on insane/insane in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

Did you play against maximum AI or just 1 or 2 vs you? I find those that say the ai sucks on higher difficulties usually setup games that don't favor the ai. Play against max ai on the smallest map on insane/insane and then get back to us. Then I might agree with you.

Reply to My chief complaints in LH Support Stardock Forums

I could go for a BLIND setup phase where you don't know the positions of the enemy and you setup your units like say in Dominions III. I kind of have to agree putting mages in the front and melee is the back is sort of ridiculous. Now archers in the front I wouldn't mind since those nasty bassturds rip me a new one sometimes.

Reply to Beastmaster + Governor is OP in Legendary Heroes Stardock Forums

[quote who="rtw1323" reply="3" id="3335390"] I think the Maul ability is ridiculous and should be modified. At minimum, it should be limited to a few extra strikes instead of the chance to deal huge damage over and over based on a percentage. If not that, then the maximum damage of each successive landed strike should be reduced by a significant percentage. When a Maul unit gets lucky and kills an important unit of mine, it feels cheap. When I have a Maul unit of

I would also like to see city defenders have dual class. They can start out as archers and then close as melee when the time is right. This would increase defense of the city and not make the defenders so one dimensional either or. Also this is the first game I can recall that you have to defend OUTSIDE your keep or castle or city walls....what's up with dat? HOMM

[quote who="Zwollenaer" reply="13" id="3336067"] I don't think this is so unbalanced at all. It seems that the "Dance with dragons" is just another ending to the game just like the forge of the overlord, only more satisfying than building a few buildings and casting a spell. It is made for games that have drug on for much longer than they should have. The tech is placed at the farthest end of the tech tree, so it seems like it was deliberately put there as a game ender to me. Whoeve

Sky Drakes (namely blue lightning dragons) were the game over unit in MOM as well. Still was fun as hell romping around the map with a stack of them and just crushing my enemies. This is also why the game will never be a good multiplayer game. Too unbalanced and can never be because Stardock said they would never balance the multiplayer game in favor of the single player game. ;_)

[quote who="Star Adder" reply="2" id="3334634"] it's very simple just not to use them. Maybe, but I'm not buying or playing a game to not use some units because they're overpowered or available too early. It's up to the devs to get it right either in the first place or later on. One good step towards that was to ensure that the AI finally also makes use of em. Do YOU let your unitsfight with pitchforks when you have swords available?! [/qu
