nature's cloak and some earth shards should do the trick vs. mages. abjuration buffs and resistance cloaks also help. doesn't change the fact that essence fortresses are OP. people wouldn't complain so much that the game is too easy if that crutch was removed from the game, imo. in the beta, people steamrolled the AI with charge+cleave/impale cavalry. that was nerfed in several ways. now people have adopted a new crutch the AI can't deal with and are once again steamrolling th

Reply to OP Militia? Why i'm still using militia in the mid/late game in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

i actually stopped using essence fortresses a long time ago, precisely for the reasons stated by others - it doesn't matter what troops you build, the essence buffs alone make them so much more powerful that the game is basically over once your fortress is ready to pump out troops. crushing blow isn't the main problem. it deals about 2-3 times the normal damage on average and you lose the next turn for it. impale and cleave aren't worse imo - they also deal about 2-3 times

Because the +1 damage bonus for unit will still be multiplied by number of member of the unit.[/quote] that depends a lot on the defense value of the target and the attack value of the attacker. a low attack multi figure unit won't get that much out of swarm vs. a high defense target, even if the boost counts per figure. the unit count has no influence on the attack vs. d

Reply to Ironman Mode in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

ironman modes typically remove the "save" from the menu and replace it with a "save & exit". they usually also overwrite the single save automatically (for example after every action you take), so if the game crashes, you can restart close to the point where it crashed.

the mages would be less problematic if heart of fire and aura of grace weren't in the game. i think those two buffs are the bigger game breakers. i mean, seriously, units from a 3 essence fort easily outperform basic units with gear that is one tier higher. also, i think it wouldn't break the game if those mage units actually used mana to throw their fire/frost bolts. maybe 1 mana per shot for each figure in the unit. they would still be superior, but no longer shoot mag

Reply to Flame Tongue & Despair Spell (see post #7) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

don't know. i think it's only available through scrolls and some monsters have it (master quest endboss, dark wizards, maybe some others?) can you buy that scroll from the scroll scribe (level 3 conclave upgrade)? if so- i guess it depends on the price. maybe just make it more expensive. if it's drop/monster only i think it's all right. on monsters, you wipe 1-2 times until you realize how dangerous it is, then you start focus firing the dark wizard and/or counte

Reply to Flame Tongue & Despair Spell (see post #7) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

don't forget it also scales with level. it may be weak on a level 2 unit, but it's pretty strong on high level units. a level 10 unit does (figure count) x 20, which can easily be more than the weapon damage of that same unit, considering it ignore defense entirely.

Deorcnysse is the wildling village i mentioned before. it's part of a wildland, players can conquer it (not very hard, only some wildlings as defenders). it's still a village and can never grow into a proper town/fort/conclave, so it's fairly useless, even with the improved yields. the only use of that super village is spamming pioneers, since it can never build any of the specialized buildings of the level 2 (or higher) settlements

Reply to -1 Casting Time? Not so much. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

are you sure you actually picked the trait? the level up screen has a weird way of displaying selected and suggested traits. also, is this the default fireball spell from fire III or the fireball buff (anointed by fire or something, from the mgic techtree)? not sure if the trait works with that buff (never tried it). if you also have life IV, you get wellspring, or at water III you get pandemomium. those should also be instant cast with the trait.

Reply to Asking tips for insane/insane and sharing my own experiences... in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

towns can't get to level 10. level 5 is the highest level (unless you play with some mods or something). sometimes AI cities fail to pick their level up trait and keep growing, but that doesn't really add anything useful since they will be level 10 villages or something (which is about as useful as a level 1 village since level ups without a specialization don't add anything). also there's that wildling (or darkling?) village in one of the wildlands that never becomes a proper

Reply to Defend ability should last until defender's next turn in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

in my games, defenders tend to be the core of the army (either defender champions or defense units). majority of the enemies are melee, so there's always stuff you can safely tank while the damage specced units kill the rest of the enemies. if the defender champ tanks 2-3 units (which is very common), those units will not deal any significant damage while the rest of my army overwhelms the remaining enemies. even if you rely heavily on melee units, there's nothing wrong

Reply to Some idea about city defenders in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

agree with sweatyboatman, militia is really just there for the early game. later on, if you want decent units in a city, build decent units and put them in the city. or put them in an army and defeat the enemy before they even attack your cities.

[quote who="EstyleS" reply="14" id="3370134"] ... Would it be overpowered for a unit to be able to attack and keep its defense bonus? I don't think so. You say that otherwise the Defender would just be pinging away for 5 damage, so since he might as well do nothing anyway, it doesn't waste his attack. But that's because he's built to give up offensive power in exchange for defending others. You could have built a strong offensiv

Reply to Defend ability should last until defender's next turn in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

the problem with this ability is that it puts the guarded units in defensive stance, and once their turn starts, that boost automatically goes away, like with the normal defensive stance (from passing the turn). i think it would be overpowered if the units could attack and still retain their defensive stance bonus. you can get that ability early on (level 4/5, possibly even sooner since at least one of the level 1 champions has it as a starting trait). just build some units with

Reply to [1.1 Bug?] Diplomacy: Resoln hostile to Pariden, but Pariden close to Resoln? in LH Support Elemental Forums

might be because resoln is a lot more powerful than pariden (judging from # of cities, pop, research, income). the stronger faction is more likely to attack the weaker one than vice versa. "close" might actually be more like "afraid" in the case of pariden -> resoln.

Reply to [1.1 BUG] A Defender can use his Guard skill on an enemy unit to get the defensive benefit on himself in LH Support Elemental Forums

for all i care, AI henchmen could use a different set of rules and not die permanently. AI would probably have trouble keeping them alive. most mechanics are a lot more powerful in the hands of a human player, so i guess it would be ok to just nerf henchies for the human player.
