How should slaves look like? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Quendar often uses very strange units - slaves, who have -10 accuracy, but are armed and armored with best equipment and items. But because of their -10 Accuracy they are of low efficiency. The main idea of slaves - be cheap cannon fodder for a sovereign. So should slaves be limited to common weapons and armor? Or limit them just to leather armor and blunt weapons? What penalties should a slave have? Is -1 Attack, -1 Hit point better than -10 Accuracy? Would it be inte

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="4" id="3421839"]Why not set a prereq to prevent the AI from building pioneers until the city is level 2. That would mean the AI will never create pioneers from a city level of 1. I think that would be a good mod for this as well.[/quote] Great idea! This would surely help AI. But technically there could be a problem. There are 3 type of cities of 2 level. What should the unit use? This will need some testing, but the idea i

[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="1" id="3421742"]3: Why? In my games, I always see AI pioneers everywhere...are you sure they settle less than human players?[/quote] AI doesn't plan city growth. Human player can rush his city to 2 level and then quickly produce 2 pioneers. Human player wisely casts spells which increase food and growth of a city. Human player settles on the best tiles. So AI should have his own "knowledge" of how to survive against wise human player.

[quote who="dawgs4ever" reply="122" id="3421564"] Any chance that the Mob AI will begin attacking NPC AI units? I know that if I have a pioneer and a spearmen running around together and they end a turn next to a wandering mob, that the mob will attack them 99.9% of the time. However, whenever I see NPC pioneers running around and they end the turn next to a Mob, the Mob does not attack them, which makes it very easy for the NPC on higher difficulty levels to expand without

Is it a good idea to make 3 types of pioneers? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I thought could it be a good idea to make 3 types of pioneers: 1. Costs 30 population and builds only settlements. 2. Costs 5 population and builds outposts and roads. 3. AI only unit that costs 5 population and builds settlements, outposts and roads. Thus human player will have additional choice and AI will settle quicker.

Reply to which starting location? 4/3/2 3/3/3 2/3/4 in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote]I have a 4/3/2 a 3/3/3 and most strangely a 2/3/4. can I use the latter as a starting city or will it be pop capped? [/quote] To grow to 5 level city you need 5 food. So in al cases you will be capped. The less food the worse. You can add some more food by spells, so 4 is enough. If you have wild grain near, then 3 is enough. But you can live well without 5 level city. 4 level city is good enough. You need essence to have unit enchants - there are 4 enchants.

[quote quoting="post"] I posted a few times about a game I had where the AI went absolutely nuts in the power ranks.

[quote quoting="post"] Please correct me if I am mistaken but the current implementation of bows and xbows in game feels very weak. Trainable units with bows and champions using bows alike just seem very lackluster. Any defense at all on an enemy and they do such poor damage. Is there a currently in game method that I am unaware of that makes these decent? Are there mods out there that correct this already implemented? I could not find any in the stickied mod list.<br /

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="66" id="3420452"]Secondly, my current pet peeve is how the AII never builds any production, troop training, or unrest buildings. This allows me to easily out produce them midgame. Seriously I always build workshops and bell towers first in brand new cities as it allows them to develop quickly and catch up. In fact these are some of the few buildings I rush. The AI seemed to like building troops from it's low level border cities, even the newly settled ones. I
