Sounds Excellent Magic ranged units might have a place as strong vs armored troops but just as expensive. Sooo happy that my monsters arn't so weak now, make sure you change quest reward monsters as well.Monsters should become significantly tougher if you can lv them not just an hp bonus but dmg/def and even new abilities at high lv. I like that your redoing Sov because as an umbar player my Sov is pretty bad. A cruel warlord is just a horrible idea. &nbsp

Reply to [.77][Balance] Dodge, Accuracy, and Encumbrance in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Accuracy is the problem. For balance and fun nothing should effect accuracy but like a +1-2 weapon bonus on magic weapons and the odd rare trait. Most units should go through the game without going above or below base accuracy. Example Swordsmaster: +2 Attack/ +1 accuracy with swords. I would recomend accuracy and dodge be scrapped but without them assasins seem kinda pointless. You just have to balance dodge against armor so that they are roughly equal and that assasins/light

[0.77]Armor Sets and Crafting in FE Beta Elemental Forums

In 0.77 the only full armor set I know of is the champion plate armor. In a later version of the game I would like to see more full armor sets, ones that you dont just buy from the shop and provide a complete set bonus. I know that you can find champion armor but it seems a little unrealistic to expect to complete the set that way, especially as new items are added. Ive only ever gotten 1 of the set myself per game(helmet/boots/chest). To make it possible to complete armor sets

[quote who="Markon" reply="1" id="3076273"]Encumbrance should not be a mutable stat. Heavy armored units are -supposed- to be encumbered. They hit less often and dodge less often, but take less damage.[/quote] I disagree. While I think you are moving in the right direction you are going too far. Having encumberance effect accuracy is a terrible idea, especialy when it also effects dodge (which it should).You end up with a scenario where units in the heaviest armor cannot hit units wit

Compounded by the issue that theres no way to defend against those spells. Spells like wither and mass curse that target all enemy units cannot be resisted and neither can Dmg spells.

Their range is fine, they just need to scale better so they dont become useless vs someone wearing even 1 piece of leather armor. They are not a replacement for bandit archers. Both should exist.

Reply to [Suggestion] Balancing Heroes in FE Beta Elemental Forums

I agree more with CdrRogdan. If we are aiming for maximum tactics than even with inherent abstraction it would be better if the 1 shot 1 kill system was applied universaly. If medium sized monsters need to slaughter troops stacks just give them an ability like overpower, poison breath or slam. Giant monsters should destroy mutiple units with every blow but should have abilities for dealing the real dmg to stacks. [quote who="Stupidity10" reply="1" id="3074792"]Defaulting common units

[quote who="marionesi" reply="2" id="3075046"]Break enemy line is certainly innovative, but possibly messy to implement in a battlefield (what if there is no room for the army to split up?). Ambush I like a lot. Counterattacks are also a good idea. I think for now units do not counterattack at all, isn't it?[/quote] Break enemy lines is impossible, it's never gonna happen. Defenders and only Defenders at this point get counterstrike. [quote who="marionesi" repl

Reply to FE coding from the trenches in FE Beta Elemental Forums

Hey Frogboy, good of you to respond to so many posts. Since your in question awnsering mode il ask a question. Is a system where each unit in a troops stack is counted as an individual and damage doesn't transfer beyond 1 troop unless a weapon/talent/spell/ability specifically allows mass kill totaly off the table? Stacks are about the right size and the overpower ability already damages each unit in a troop stack so I don't think it would be too much work to implement

You could just as easily make the % only do less dmg to creatures/champions with more SR than you have SM. You could make it so you do more dmg to creatures with less SR than your SM. OP is generic enough for us to fit a lot under it.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="8" id="3074522"]This would make Caster Sovs useless, especially with the incoming XP sharing nerf.[/quote] I really hate it when people take an idea that doesn't even specify an effectiveness and say "OMG SO RIGGED" without any idea of how effective it would be beyond their own fantasy. Worse when said in a one sentence post. The dmg reduction could be anything from 1% to 100%.

Don't like this. However...

Troll shamans have barbs and darklings have blind, thats it.

[quote who="Asmodean_dk" reply="73" id="3074165"]I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you on that. If you are going to use words like God-awful or terrible, you better have a good explanation as to why you think it is so, or how you would like to see it redone. I'm not saying testers can't voice their distaste for something without suggesting fixes. What I am saying is, that if something is bad enough that you really feel the need to use the word terrible, you must have at least

Basic raise dead is s staple of fantasy games.
