Reply to [0.80] Siege weapons in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

agreed on overpower and being made available earlier in the tech tree. They definitely come so late in games that you may never even see a player or AI make one (let alone have the tech for it). As per damage output, other than adding overpower, we should be able to customize siege units (unit design) to add various options to the siege's attack. Increased attack (better rocks/more solid construction), greek fire (magic addition), something to cause vari

+1 hp, as is, even on brand new units, doesn't really help much - even early game. Most anything can do more than 1 HP of damage to a unit. 1 HP/figure would be worth taking it.

Reply to Computer flipping outposts during peace in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I'm perfectly happy with the current implementation as it prevents spam of outposts to lock out opponents. This is much worse with Arcane Monoliths as you just need some mana. If you prevent outpost flipping, then there's nothing to stop a mass spam of Arcane monoliths around cities to lock them in and prevent them from accessing resources on their borders. It'd be far too abusive to be considered 'balance'.

Reply to Offer/Demand Tribute causing NAP-like conditions in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

that's been the case for a long time. And i like it as is, actually. Why pay tribute to someone that is likely to DoW you at any moment anyways? It'd be an exploit whereby you could demand tribute, get their gold, then DoW them anyways. That's the wrong way to go with the diplomacy system.

Reply to [0.8][balance] Horse/warg usage for trained units in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

yeah, I somewhat agree that spears seem to be a little much without encumbrance around to balance things. With encumbrance, you needed horses to get extra capacity to fit the heavy armour (in game), without it, there's not a nice benefit. With the other changes happening as well, I'd be very happy to switch over the spears bonus vs. armoured to the mace. But that's a little off topic.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="9" id="3346476"] The defender is suppose to be the "tank" character, being able to take hits and the warrior is a damage dealer. The armor seems fine to me in this dynamic. [/quote] I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. Assassin - Glass Cannon Warrior - Front line unit able to stand up to, and give damage to, units.

Reply to Thoughts on the traits/skill trees. in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

One big issue I have between the hero types is that I think the defender and warrior use of armour is backwards. The defender is there to boost your army (resistances/etc) and to stay behind the army (guard helps). The warrior is meant to be in the line, not hiding in a corner. So switch the defender and warriors armour abilities. Warriors should get chain for free and have easy access (by level 5ish) to plate armour. Defenders s

Reply to Switching away from encumbrance system has resulted in a lot of useless junk in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

yup, it's not very good for most hero types. Defenders get chain for free and plate isn't too hard to get (and in the correct path as well). So they get a big boost to early game armour. Most other hero types might as well sell the armour, or save it for the next hero if they are defenders.

Reply to {0.8}some toughts after steam rolling 3 games in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

My recent experience (.8 build) is that I also miss encumbrance. It looks like it was taken out, but everything that it was previously balancing didn't get properly balanced with the change (especially traits that used to give the encumbrance and mounts). I can get with the change to remove encumbrance, but a lot more of the game needs to be balanced. As per heros - I think all heros should automatically gain an anti-swarm bonus. I

Reply to [Poll] Removal of additional spell tiers for strait levels in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

nope. If anything, the spell tiers should be a requirement to get access to more spells (even ones from the magic tree or other parts of the mage traits). Having the spells auto-unlock removes choices, which just forces more people to play in a narrower way. But flipping it around makes choices more important as needing level 3 fire to unlock fireballs and the annointed by fire spell means that you're taking one less 'booster' choice. So yo

Reply to [0.8][balance] Horse/warg usage for trained units in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I agree with the thought line of reducing the output down to .25/stable and bringing back the 2nd level stable (to .5), but put it deep in the tech tree. Changing it to a Civ 5 style (capped output) for a single resource doesn't work, given that all other resources in the game are built up over time so we should keep to that style. It also opens up many other issues (lack of the resources/etc) that would need work, but for a single resource it doesn't make

Reply to Suggestion: Unit size as a balancing concept in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="jutetrea" reply="13" id="3345907"] Doh, I get it now - was completely on a different track. Your change is smaller, more elegant and probably easier to implement. Devil's advocate: I don't think a non-recruitable/non-summonable unit should be able to be increased. - i.e. a black widow acquired through beastlord should not be able to increase group size, while a Resoln/hundred eyes faction should be able to increase.&

Reply to Is anyone building a summoner? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Empire side summoners do just fine as well. The single skelly is 'menh' but at least you can quickly toss it in front of some unit that might hurt you a lot (Ie, cheap 1 turn meatshield). It wouldn't hurt if this mage trait got boosted beyond just having the single skeleton. Being able to drop 9 skeletons (and they have random gear - mixed sword/shield, spear, axe combo) between you and the enemy is very nice. Toss in the Imp and you get

Reply to Suggestion: Unit size as a balancing concept in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

It's not a bad idea, but getting the right balance will be a bit harder in the mid-power units. It may even start forcing player choices to favour one unit type over another, which would be bad. - for the following I'm assuming that we aren't talking about increasing the 'size' of an army above the 9 slots currently used for armies, but rather a 2ndary 'cap' to what can go into those slots. IE, it's pretty easy to say a Sovereign/hero unit
