first of all i have to say this is working great imo

the behaviour is just as i expect it to be, monsters wander and if you let them be they start heading toward your cities

very cool

 

the only problem is city militia, as for now i never cared about defense, never built a single unit and what attacked me was always much much weaker than what my autodefense was (normal diff i think)

so imo wandering monsters need to stack more b4 attacking OR city defenses should be more tied to some combat research

 

its a bit too easy to have a good defense totally free withouht any effort, at least make it happen only if you research something

also to note that since now we have militia  archers the defenses are much much stronger

its cool imo, defenses HAVE TO BE archers, i like it, but since they are much stronger they should cost a bit of something

I think that monsters should have a slight to moderate boost, and then learn to stack more before attacking cities (until it is reasonable safe versus the autodefense) until that just rampage your lands, knocking down resources and outposts.

I just got my butt handed to me by an elemental army lead by an earth elemental. It was 5 units with 182 hitpoints and early game. I had moved my main army too far away, and I dont think I could have won anyways. I must say that I love it

what diff level and around what part of the game that happened?

i have my sovereign lvl 17 and i started a long war already and never saw a stack of elementals (there are elementals, they didnt stack or wander yet)

 

it seems anyway its a abit about luck from ppl posts

Haha just had this problem myself, had to lock it down with tremor while blasting it with pillar of fire (I luckily had 3 shards, and +2 mana per turn ability on my sovereign... )

these stacks hurt!

I play challenging and dense monsters. I might have triggered my doom when I placed an outpost pretty close to the elementals. It took quit a while before they moved, and then I had my sov away on another mission. They moved quite far, took out two outposts before taking a city from me.

 

To the frog. DO NOT TONE THIS DOWN

lol, my first game with .912 wolves destroyed my city. Had a good laugh at that, liking the new version so far.

ill try ill try, didnt have much time

 

but difficulty level shouldnt matter *so much*

 

i mean monsters should be a threat even at lower diff level, ofc at high diff levels the threat should be higher
