Reply to Best champion for all late game plate in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

Yeah I think so - late game defender probably wins, at least for an all plate melee soldier. The problem I've always had with defenders is that there isn't a "force attack me". The problem with warriors is that against late game opponents, they tend to die relatively easily and that needs expensive potions to cure their wounds. To be honest, both classes could see some reform.

Best champion for all late game plate in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

It's late game - let's say you've got a mage and a commander champion. But at the same time, you also have access to plate mail. Many of your top units wear plate as well and you have plenty of crystal to supply several stacks in full Champions. Would it be better to have a defender or a warrior champion in late game? Why? With champions individually? Or as part of an army?

Reply to Militia Questions in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="1" id="3441308"] Currently, as I understand how city militia work, there is a double standard being presented. - Player's city militia will only defend the first attack of a given turn. Subsequent attacks in the same turn will not have city militia present. - AI's city militia will defend every attack in every turn and will be at 100% force and health each combat, even if you've killed off or damaged some units in a p

Reply to Which AI Traits is the AI best at? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

To me the question has always been trait 2. Which will lead to the best AI for late/end game? Militaristic vs monster hunter (which by nature involves building some military units) vs civilized (potent cities?)

Another option is to give the Dead a massive buff to their mana so that they are not always mana bottlenecked?

Which AI Traits is the AI best at? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Of all the AI traits, which do you think are the 2 that make the best combination of AI? 1. Expansionist 2. Not as sure - could be militaristic or monster hunter. What about Civilized? Combine this with a player that has good physical bonuses and you have the best AI. Which strategy is best? Clubber? Spear?

Reply to Modding questions/help thread in LH Modding Elemental Forums

I've been doing more investigating. It looks like in the unit builder, you were right, unlimited traits could be made. However, what is restricted are the champion traits. You cannot assign champion traits to units and expect them to be built, even if you modded them to be henchmen. Edit: Basically if it has the tag: Unit_Level You cann

Reply to Modding questions/help thread in LH Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="Crastiloowa" reply="599" id="3442355"] Hypothetically, you could have the CityTrainingBonus apply an attribute which specified that a spell be cast at start of combat (similar to the "Noble Legacy" for Pariden.) The spell could then check a condition and apply results based on the results of the check (boolean.) Not sure if there are any testable conditions to see if a unit has an equipped ranged weapon, though.[/quote] Hm

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="4" id="3442253"] Yithral and Gilden tend towards the top. I've taken to enjoy having them in every game so that I can have some AI challenge... Relias, Kraxis, Capitar, and Tarth follow behind, able to put a decent fight until midgame. The rest seem to be too dependant on unique aspects of their faction, without any coding on how to properly use those unique aspects. [/quote] I'll p

Exceeding maximum recommended map sizes? in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Has anybody tried making random maps that exceed max recommended sizes? I have tried to make such a map that is 16x16 or Anthys sized. It seems that I run out of memory fairly early on (within 120 turns in the game). What are your experiences with large map sizes?

Curious question, which factions do you find consistently do very well? Right now I'm finding that the factions that emphasize physical combat seem to do better than the other types of factions.

[quote who="Crastiloowa" reply="591" id="3441820"] Regarding adding the trait slot(s) as a race/faction ability: if it matters to you, having extra selectable trait slots will probably not be a very beneficial ability for the faction when controlled by AI. Just look at how frequently the AI chooses the "base" unit designs without even using all three default slots. At the very least you'd need to pre-design units to make use of all the slots at various tech l
