Please urgently look at the autoresolve problem in this thread: https://forums.elementalgame.com/432819

Currently it appears that the enemy is not using magic either when fighting the player (or AI) using auto-resolve.  The mana restriction should be ONLY on the player doing autoresolve, not the enemies (especially since the enemies in most cases don't use mana).

Indeed, this is gamebreaking if it is true.

Out today lads? I can see some excellent changes that will improve gameplay, like a new starting tech that is tempting to start with + pluss more low level stuff as common loot + some nerfing of hp (adventures boon etc) and dodge (spell etc) and initiative (horses) heroes can get etc etc. This will be fun to test out :)

Stoneskin does 3 (+1 per air shard) in defense instead of 4+2
End of quote

Per air shard? I think Stoneskin should protect the target against all kinds of damage, because the effect is much lower.

per air shard? Was that a typo? Shouldn't it be earth shard?

Yes, a typo. The problem is that when cast on already high armor units it made them nigh invulnerable. A lot of spells need to scale less, stonskin is no exception. Of course the damge spells are the worse because using traits and items you can triple their damage.

It's basic defence, not just air defence, if that was what you meant?

Fixed that for you.

air?

is this a typo or the school of magic of stoneskin changed from earth?

Reply #139 from Elemental Forums Top

Of course stone skin needs to be earth..... The whole mother earth is a huge stone planet...... ;)

You are right, but at the end of the game the bonus of Stoneskin is much smaller compared to the beginning of the game. It should be possible to improve spells like Stoneskin without shards, too.

Hmmm, seems like the update will be late today compared to the last ones.... Hopefully not delayed.....

Why nerf the building for production? Gildars  nerfed last patch. In this production. I have one life, I do not want to spend it on one game in this  so slow game!

 And, Sorry, weakened bows. In a game against the bows have a ton of counter. Shields, spells, perks, perks for speed and horses etc. Well, why should they weaken? Because someone wrote that archers killed the dragon? So the problem probably in the dragon, not an archer. Do not want to play this game. = ( 

New perk assassin. In the game, any class can wear any armor and weapons. You know what I mean? Will go hero with a huge ax or mace in heavy armor on horse  and crit and ignore armor. Assassin, yes. Sorry again. Just see the game has potential. But I doubt that you are going in the right direction.

You get the Workshop potentially quite a bit earlier in the game now.  It's called balance.

 Balance of what? The game became slower. Who calls this balance? Where will continue to balance the game? Explain it to me.

 Nothing has changed. Need to learn tehlology for food and products. Decided to play a quick study, why? You have full queue  of buildings for many many saesons ahead.

 Please add the configuration reduces the cost of all the buildings and units. There is a setting for the study. But definitely need for production. Otherwise they will learn new technologies over the years, but some market based forever! And maybe with this setup, +1 bonus from buildings will not look so ridiculous.

People should bring gildars and products in %. And on spell +2 gildars taxes should not work. After all, a simple and logical things.  Trust me.

Depends what they expect to get out of the game.

On normal map settings, are we looking at 1000 seasons? 500?

Then on large map settings, is that relatively increased?

Same goes for small. Can I finish a small map in 300 seasons?

Combine that in with duration of gameplay; quick, normal, epic; and you have quite the variety to consider when attempting to balance a game.

 

Part of me wants to finish the game I'm playing with Altair, but I just can't say 'no' to a new beta. XD  Downloading now!

finally i got my ass kicked! All of the AI's declared war on me. This was earlymid game. one of them came with all of his army, I had no chance!

I had 3 heroes but only 6-7 level. In early builds i could defeat this army with my 3 heroes and steamroll the AI, but not now.

Expert game, on medium map 5 AI and me, dense monsters. I never use ctrl-N. in pervious builds i can win these settings even if there were 1000-200 civ points against me, without any builded units, only with 3-4 heroes!
