No clue about how you guys mod stuff, but was wondering if it was possible to mod the combat system OR if not people would love to mod in one of there own combat systems if they SD made that possible??
I hate this system too, it has to change. I played many games over the years, board games and RPG and this system is by far the worst I have seen. I loved how Rolemaster did it, but I know I'm not going to see that in this game, but would be greate imo :D
Unlimited counter attacks??? I think not. I sometimes use units that can take the damage or units that I don't mind losing to attack first, when the opponet has run out of counter attacks you can move in units that have no defence but loads of attack rating, but I am prety sure unlimited counter attacks is not in game, maybee they have number equel combat rating.
I had that happen to me in tactical battle, end turn did nothing...was realy annoying.
First if somthing like this has already been posted I am sorry Ok so I had a tactical battle, I was attacked and had no chance of beating the attacker a sandgolem, but....I had enough speed to outrun it and as the game works like attack must beat me or panic when his morale hits 0 I won in the end and that by runing in circles. I think this is a bad way to do tactical battles, ther should be some kind of objektive. Let me put it this way, is it ok to keep and ar
[quote quoting="post"] That means we can release free "expansion packs" for Elemental until such a high percentage of players love the game that only then can we discuss sequels or paid expansions. [/quote] You guys know what that means??......it means all and I mean ALL who love the game start bitching from now on until the end of days....so we NEVER have to pay for expansions.......hahahah [e digicons]:w00t:[/e] &n
Dominions 3 graphics are.........bad imo, BUT the gameplay is what makes people play it for a looong time, bought it last year and just the printed manual was worth the money the game cost, I mean a manual on paper...294 pages....I mean just like the old days, but sadly not played the game so much, but just what I have seen so far is making promise myself going back to play it more.
[quote who="rossanderson48" reply="49" id="2744579"]Well I'd have to say WARLORDS started it all then WARLORDS II then the III series which is truely the best and then finally WARLORDS IV with the 1.05 patch is really good now and the ai fantastic. Then came MAUDE or MOM as some like to call her. ) Best civilizationlike fatasy strategy game to date. Others tried to take the throne and the HOMM series was pretty good with II & III Age of Wonders first game
I noticed one thing while building a city close to the enemy. He had influnce that overlapede a resource, he then started building on that resource, but before it was done my influence bubble expanded and now the resource was in my zone of control and it became my resource. ..and the resouce was not enclosed to either of our 2 citys btw Wonder if your zone of control could get so high you would take over another players city...just wondering, but at leas you can lose res
First woow....din't know you could this much stuff in a post [e digicons]:omg:[/e] But damd...nicely executed...thank you
I know what you mean, no idea what it is either. But its nothing to do with experince, I checked what they get in experice compared to that crown number, no connection between the 2. I regard to experince, I was sure the combat rating of the group you attck = gilder you get and xp, but seen now that it does not alway add up. I mean sometimes you only get 5 xp sometimes you get more, but take it, it has to do how easy the fight is or what lvl difference between you and the enemy.
I had my problems with the game early on, but the patches have heleped alot. I played a game on large map to about 200 turns and has not slowed down and that game have not crashed once. I only hope the AI will be improved because just because I¨m a few point better in regards to strength does not mean the AI can't kil me off easy, it just have to wait and strike at the right time and you gone, so I look forward to seeing better AI.
I sure hope they going to make the AI way better then it is and this game will realy be one to last a loooooooong time :)
Well I hope this combat will be explained better at some point, would realy love to know how it works for sure.
[quote who="Lavitage" reply="9" id="2729943"]So what happens if I've got both a helmet and a suit of plate? Okay, so a helmet is good against crushing damage and a suit of plate isn't. So... pretend the helmet has a rating of 8 and the plate has a rating of 5. What's my defense roll? 13 (the sum)? 8 (just the helmet)? 8+1d5 (the sum of what they'd do individually)? Quoting klno, reply 6 I had a bunch of fights today and got the feeling it was soming lik
[quote who="redskull2" reply="8" id="2729932"] I miss the system of combat in MoM if its one big throw of the dice. randomness with the potential for that much of a wild swing in result skews the combat a lot. I watched my one mace wielding lvl 3 soldier single handedly massacre a sovereign and his whole army today and was pretty puzzled how he did it. [/quote] LOL!! Hope he became a hero with that show of strength :D
[quote quoting="post"]I'll keep asking more as I find them. How do I enter tactical combat? All my early battles against bears and such autoresolve immediately when I click attack. I never get like a popup box asking me whether I want to micromanage or autoresolve. My sovereign has 1 attack and 0 defense, but his tactical spells can one-shot anything I've encountered so this is kind of a big deal. [/quote] You can change how many units there has to be before you
I had a bunch of fights today and got the feeling it was soming like this. I had my king with a bow an attack of 9 and defender had like 3 defence. I have no way to be 100% sure of this, but felt like I "rolled" a 1d9 for damage vs defenders "roll" 1-3 defence. Different damage types I have not considred how that works.
Thanks for the info, just posted a question about this too and some other stuff.
Well was wondering how does it work. I mean if I got 3 attack and the enemy has 3 in defence will I still do damage to him or if he has 6 in defence, is it hopless to deal damage. What about magic vs defence is that very much different? Besides that, more I play more I love this game and thank you so much for the steady flow of patches and for making a turned based game that seems like Civilization+Warlords ran into each other and had a baby
[quote who="jreynol2" reply="4" id="2724496"] Quoting loialarent, reply 2 Dont want to sound rude, but why not wait and see if there is a manual before flaming them. Just a thought. it's fairly obvious there isn't, other than the pdf that is in the install directory. (which is pretty much worthless) [/quote] You got that right. I wonder why they even bother making one when its so bad, I mean a veteran beta tester could make a bet
have same problem atm, but then again I preordered 48 hours ago, so take it I will be one of the last to have acces :) Fun thing is I just found out about the game 3 days ago and I was like..wth civilazation and warlords ran into each other and had a baby...called Elemental......cool
