Reply to I still think the chain/plate traits need to change some. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

the armor tech (warfare tech tree) unlocks chain armor. if that tech is missing, you probably picked "no armor" faction weakness (or play default Resoln faction, which has that weakness) Edit: or you play a faction with the "Light Plate" trait (default Gilden) in which case that tech unlocks light plate armor, as stated in the trait's description

Reply to I still think the chain/plate traits need to change some. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

are we all actually playing the same game? i've read numerous times now that plate proficiency doesn't allow you to use chain. that's just wrong. do you guys actually try that kind of stuff before you post? the tooltip for plate mail proficiency even states that it allows you to use both chain and plate pieces and guess what - that's exactly what it does. that's why plate proficiency costs 10 labor vs. the 5 labor of chain proficiency.

Reply to Hero Exp Split- Bad Design or Really Bad Design? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

i believe the biggest misconception is that heroes need a high level to be powerful. i've been playing LH a lot recently, and in my experience, that's just not true. heroes can be real game changers at low/mid levels (~level 5-7 or something) and some paths become just ungodly powerful at level 10-15. those levels are reachable with pretty much every champion you get (in my experience, anyway). getting to those levels too early just breaks the game IMO. of course there are als

spell resistance working against staffs might work. though i guess the spell resistance trait for units might need a little buff to make it worthwhile; if you have to face staff guys, you could make a "mage killer" unit with spell resistance and soldier's cloak. moving the abjuration spells (protection vs. fire / vs. cold) back to the tech tree could also help (at least for armies with a champion) the bigger problem is probably not the player facing staff users, but the other way

Reply to Can't build Weaponsmith in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

it's a problem with the no armor weakness. the weapon smith is the upgrade of the armorer building, which is unlocked by the armor tech. since you have the no armor weakness, that tech is not available to you, and as a result you can't build a weaponsmith because the prereq building can't be built

are we playing the same game? i don't think so. you definitely don't lose the defense boost after being attacked once. half of my games would have ended in a bloody mess if that were the case. i love playing with an early defender champion whose only job is to hold the line while my cappy trained units flank and slaughter the enemy units one by one. a level 4 defender with nothing but a piece of leather armor and a wooden shield can easily tank 3-4 mites or bandits without tak

[quote who="kendainty" reply="41" id="3353296"]When upgrading units: if doing an armour upgrade, the game should not try to replace soldier's boots (+1 initiative) with armor-type boots (e.g. leather)!

[.87 Bug?] Tectonic Bulwark in LH Support Elemental Forums

got the newly added "Tectonic Bulwark" shield and tried its special ability "Tectonic Shift". the "stinking mud" effect it applies to the target tile and surrounding tiles makes the units inside it completely immobile. if i remember correctly, the stinking mud in FE (I think that was the combo spell Earth 2 & Water 2 or something) only reduced movement speed, but didn't make everyone inside immobile. not sure if it's a bug or intended that way, but i find it rather annoying that w

The armor ignore is there to make their overall damage on par with that of axes and maces. Impale really fades compared to cleave and Bash.

i disagree with the militia needing armor. that's not necessary IMO. just give them the "defensive" trait and a shield (at least a wooden shield, or maybe the best shield currently available). that would make them useful without making them too powerful.

there's a list of all the troop and city enchantment. either click on the "mana" section of the resource indicator bar at the top, or go to the govern screen and click the "enchantments" button at the top of that dialog. you can then dispel the enchantments of individual units. there's already a suggestion in the community UI suggestions thread to change that mechanic (so you can cancel the buffs directly in the unit screen). feel free to bump that thread and write a comment i

Reply to Which is the worst faction now? Tarth or Gilden? in LH Support Elemental Forums

Gilden AI is usually pretty strong. guess that's to some extent because most of their bonuses are fail-safe. a passive 25% extra armor from the sov, a passive +1 HP per level and +30 spell resistance for troops and cheaper armor production and upgrades - there's really nothing specific that the AI has to actively use to make them powerful, it's just passive boosts to things they do anyway. Tarth AI is a gamble. if they make it to the archery techs without falling behind, they have

there was a similar bug with longswords not upgrading to boreal blades a few patches ago. might just be an oversight that they haven't fixed the same(?) issue with warhammer -> lightning hammer. as i said, lightning hammers got nerfed recently, so it's also possible that this change somehow reverted the original fix.

defense is basically the most important statistic in the tactical game. however, you can cheese the system when you turtle long enough to get tons of crystals for mage units, or abuse the overpowered armor piercing attribute of boar spears/pikes. that armor penetration problem has to be fixed, that's for sure. it bypasses the whole tactical element by letting you roflstomp defending units without using tactics or maneuvering to outplay the other force. the tactical game will be much more

"Aid" is only on the henchman version of life 1; the champion version of the life magic spellbooks have "heal" at life 2 (basically a better version of aid) and "wellspring" at life 4 (strong AoE heal with 1 turn cast time). life 1 has regeneration, though, which can be applied on the strategic map (outside of battle) and fully heals the unit at the start of the next season. oh, and the kingdom version of the mage tree has the "wisp" as a low level summon spell; that creature can also

you can already do this. all you need is a conclave with at least one essence. build the herbalist/apothecary/alchemist lab/alchemist guild building line. the final building allows you to buy Iru Potions at that cities shop, which remove 1 of the death penalty traits (one trait per potion, so you need several to fully restore a champion that got killed several times)

Reply to Spears are too good. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

how about changing armor penetration from a percentage to a fixed value? right now, armor piercing spears break the combat system. with other weapon types, it's not necessarily a good idea to have the first strike, since the enemy is still in def stance and takes a lot less damage, and you expose yourself by attacking, allowing them to hit you hard. spears don't have that problem because they ignore half of the defense value anyway, so a high powered spear unit (horse+boar spe
