Reply to Unit design traits, the best and worst? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

[quote who="joeball123" reply="13" id="3483587"] True, but that's an issue of Fast (2) + Impulsive (2) + Aura of Grace (1 to 6) + swords/spears (0 to 4) + non-plate armors (-2 or 0). Fast is just the tip of the iceberg there. [/quote] [quote who="joeball123" reply="13" id="3483587"] For what it's worth, I feel that altering Fast changes the wrong side of the initiative problem. [/quote] Yep I think you make good points. I'd still probably

Reply to [eMod][LH] AI Plus in LH Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="62" id="3483843"] not a good mod when one has to delete something core about the game. Sounds good but I ain't deleting nothing ever that is core to the game. I'll wait for Froggy to update the ai. [/quote] That's fair enough and in principle modding entirely from the mod folder is the way to go. But the problem there is that certain things are not possible to mod without touching the core folder. It's complete

[quote who="joeball123" reply="11" id="3483292"] Personally, I think I'd sooner see it have a drawback like -10 accuracy than have it be cheaper with a lower bonus. [/quote] I tend to agree in principle, I just think it's too easy to stack init bonuses currently. Another option would be to split it into 2 abilities... something like this maybe... Fast (+1 Init), cost 10 Twitchy (+1 Init, -10 Accuracy), cost 5 [quote

Reply to Unit design traits, the best and worst? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Good feedback all thanks, picked up a couple of uses for things there that I hadn't really thought of. Fast just has to be tweaked I think, if it was less obvious it would bring a lot of other stuff more into play. Like if it was only +1 Init and say 10 production, straight away it wouldn't be quite a much of a no brainer. [quote who="cardinaldirection" reply="3" id="3483120"] Good post joeball. Thank you.

Reply to [1.6] Balance Concerns in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote]One little thing that would fix them though is to just take all the traits like Immune to Criticals, Immune to Poison, and Vulnerable to Lightning and either add them together into one Golem trait or just add them to the basic unit. This would allow us to give Golems more then a single unit design trait and make them much better and unique.

Unit design traits, the best and worst? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hi all, I'm working on some unit designs and i've come to a couple of conclusions: 1) I suspect i'm actually not good at effective unit design 2) I tend to reach for the same design traits a lot (and there's some I just never seem to use) So I'm wondering what you guys who play more than me think are the best and worst of the traits, which ones do you reach for all the time and which are worthless....? Not counting the

Reply to [LH 1.7 BETA] MasterArcher (Part II) #FIXED in LH Support Elemental Forums

Great thanks for posting the changes to the syntax across the versions. Shame it doesn't show up under the Unit Details.. I want to use this approach for some stuff, would be nice to know it's working without having to go and actually test everything each time to see the effect. But that's cool if it works i'll just cope paste and hope I don't stuff it up.

Reply to [LH 1.7 BETA] MasterArcher (Part II) #FIXED in LH Support Elemental Forums

I don't get it, is this supposed to show on the units attributes, like in the Unit Details window? Because it looks like it does nothing... if you give a champion the Master Archer trait, then equip a bow, it doesn't change their critical chance according to the Unit Details window. So does it work, and it just doesn't show the change in stat? I'm guessing based on what Kael said (" it still isn't calculated until the attack happens")&nbsp

How to get AI to train better units? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hi all, I know DSRaider has done work on this, not sure if anyone else has mucked about with it.... I'm finding the AI has a tendency to spew out cheap units, rather than go for the higher quality ones. In my mod that i'm currently testing i've got a few units that are similar to slaves, i.e. they are cheap cannon fodder and cost no maintenance. The AI seems to love them and churns them out like hot cakes. That's fine for an early game strat

Reply to [1.6][BUG] City Defenders do not spawn in subsequent attacks for players in LH Support Elemental Forums

I think this is really crap don't get me wrong... but how often does it actually occur? I guess the theory is that if it only comes up ones in a blue moon... then there's probably higher priority issues that need developer time. I think i've had it happen to me like once ever. So yeah it sucks but there's probably lots of other things i'd rather see fixed first. Just looking at it from both sides or whatever.

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.7 BETA Now Available in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="50" id="3480283"] It's a result of the existing hero system. The higher level heroes are pre-designed with classes already selected. So, none of those heroes will be able to be a Paladin, or Ranger, or Gravelord, etc. One solution is to just design more heroes. Another could be to cast a 'summon hero' spell (like in MoM).

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="39" id="3480130"]One thing I've noticed: When modded classes are added to the game, once you've received your first and second heroes there is no further chance for you to select the modded classes to advance in. Could there be a way to 'hire a hero', perhaps at the consumption of Fame instead of just reaching a threshold?[/quote] Can you explain this.... I don't get what you mean?
