Granddaughter with 15 base move!
Elemental Forums
I spent a marathon session this weekend on a large map and 500+ turns which let me really dig into the dynasty system. Had some surprising results:
Started with default Ceresa (Royalty, Daring) and married Batrue (Adventurer, Heath Regen)
First four children, two daughters two sons, the girls list Ceresa’s abilities and the boys list Batrue’s abilities, no surprises so far.
However it soon becomes clear that three of them had some form of the Vengeance ability, as they do ridiculous amounts of damage when counter-attacking. Far more damage than when they would initiate the attack, at least double if not triple. The fourth child however lacked the ability to counter-attack at all – equipped with sword, just stood there and wouldn’t counter-attack. None of this, the Vengeance or the “This unit does not counter-attack,” was listed in their stats.
Their health/mana regen varied, with the lowest at about +3/+3 and the highest about +7/+7. Also they all had around 5-6 base movement.
After marrying Ceresa’s second son to one of Verga’s daughters we get the third generation. The first two kids join Verga but the third, a daughter, has FIFTEEN base movement, the Vengeance ability (unlisted), regenerates +9/+9, and goes on to single-handedly decimate entire stacks all by herself. With a listed attack of about 60 she would counter–attack for over 300. Seriously. Reminded me of Torin the Chosen.
But now this is weird: even though all the descendants had large base moves and reasonable combat speeds, in tactical combat taking just ONE step would end their turn. Even with a combat speed of 6 they could cast three spells, attack 4-5 times, but taking a single step used up their entire turn. Moved normally on the world map, could only move one in tactical.
Weird number two: I had renamed Batrue once I hired him and late in the game I kept running into other Batrues that had a baby as the portrait and had stats that were some mesh of the one married to Ceresa (they had Essence, for example).
So there are clearly some weird things going on in they dynasty system, but still quite fun!
