[quote who="Schnorkde" reply="6" id="3071786"]If you only have a resist or not mechanic it is like having dotch or not. But in combat you also have a defense value which reduces the damage (correct?). Another reason: Why should a creature/preason restist flames (from a fire ball). This is a physical effect. I agree for say shrink or such spells, but "physical magic" should have some effect. [/quote] Protip: don't mix science with magic.

All spells targeting enemy units should (from my point of view/interest) be resistable. If you pass the check, the spell fails. If it's AOE spell, those who pass it, are not affected.

[quote quoting="post"] So I was trying to figure out why AI players dropped like flies in the game. The reason is a bit funny. So, a sovereign goes and gets killed by a monster. The monster has targeted that unit. The unit isn’t dead (it’s a sovereign) but merely transported home to its capital. Monster follows and double kills sovereign – and city he’s in. Game over.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="22" id="3071114"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 17 Sovereign John: "Totally. We are using 'Full Tech Tree Researched Mod' by Heavenfall so no problem." Nice try, but I like having a research tree.[/quote] Hey, I have been all day working on a custom one so I would say that I agree. That said, what we lack are options like selecting the starting "age". That option would be useles

[quote who="cephalo" reply="8" id="3070992"]I understand that the fiction supports the idea of lost tech, but to me it feels very forced and full of plot holes. There are characters in the game who were around before the cataclysm, certainly they wouldn't forget that horses could be ridden or that things could be made out of metal![/quote] Case 1: Peasant Joe: "So I heard that you were already alive back in the old times." Sovereign Bob: "Yup."

[quote who="OrleanKnight" reply="58" id="3070698"]Mage Dominates late game with the use of only four spells. What is a waste is that the game has so many useless spells. That is what's badly designed, the whole magic system doesn't quite exactly work with the current numbers. Tactical Battles are too fast, too small, too underwhelming. When I think Tactical Battles, I think Warhammer Table Top. Seriously, the developers of this game need to just sit back and spend about two weeks just

My "cannon fodder" eats enemy Champions for breakfast. I joke not. My Champions shine against big monsters but my troops are not useless there either. There are already traits like Leadership and Tactician in the game. Stuff like flanking shouldn't be unlocked by Champion traits though but by tech tree.

Challenging difficulty (and anything under it) Champions: try to get at least two Champions (altough one can work, preferably if he can use some kind of magic, prefereably fire). One must be specialized as mage; the other one depends as having some kind of meless tank/dps is important but having him with some magical abilities can be very useful. So Path of the Mage for one and the other may be tank with Path of the Mage or Path of the Warrior. </p

I want to try a game without magic from my Sovereign and focuses in regular troops (more than usual). I picked lots of supporting stuff for the artificial weakness of not using magic with my Sovereign. When in the Choose Opponents screen, the Traits list showed this:

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="1" id="3067956"] We have some in the game right now. Blood Season, Eclipse, Meteor Shower, Hulk Smash! and the Revelry. Im wondering if they need to be more frequent though, they are pretty rare. ps. One of those events may not be real[/quote] Hulk Smash! better be real or else...

I saw this in 0.76 and loading my game of that version in 0.77, I still see it:

[quote who="Kestral2040" reply="42" id="3067641"]listen, bears are dangerous... go punch one and see what happens [/quote] Why go punch one... when you can send someone else to do it for you? [e digicons]:w00t:[/e]

About unrecruited Champions: To recruit Champions of your faction you need to research (except for the most basic ones). Do we have the same requeriment to attack Champions of the opposing faction.

Man, so fast?

0.76: tried on a Champion. Worked fine. It allows me to select regular troops but doesn't work (I read the patchnotes that's why I mention it)

[quote who="CdrRogdan" reply="10" id="3067027"] @Wintersong being required to develop tactics such as 'sacrificing troops' and 'don't get into melee combat' scream that the ability is out of balance with the rest of the game. Maul is rediculous because it trumps special abilities. Maul would be fine if it functioned once at half damage. I would even be okay with letting special abilities proc maul if it worked this way. Indeed all special abilites shou

[quote quoting="post"] I would like to start one of those annoying groups that people join to stop something that scares them. MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) has made great progress in getting underage teens to sleep over at the house they are illegally drinking at and deaths have gone down. I too want to stop unnecessary deaths. Maul, even with the -4 to Accuracy per strike is killing our heroes. Making the penalty to Accuracy higher is the only way to stop this senseless violenc

[quote who="LordRikerQ" reply="15" id="3066603"]I vote for this, but leave it as a option so the hardcore types dont get uppity. I'd recommend stardock not listen to people who are intent on ruining the game for a vast majority of people. Options are good, people being fascist gamers and saying there is only on way to play; the hardcore way is bad for any game and is not conductive to a successful product.[/quote] Repeatedly making hate posts is allowed in the forum now? Don't

In my games, I usually try to clear the initial area before I take any quest. In my last game, during the first turns and before I tried to pick any quest, I saw one quest hut dissapear leaving only the visual effect. It happens in turn 13 which happens at the same time as my Barracks arefinished. But even rushing Barracks and building nothing else, the hut still dissapears by turn 13. </p

[quote who="LordRikerQ" reply="38" id="3066339"]This should only happen on Hard Difficulty, its way too heavy handed to be fun for a majority of people to make it global. Yes, some people are basement dwellers who love the core' experience, cool, to each its own but not everyone is a core player, and im fairly sure this isnt intended to be a hardcore only game. Saving and Reloading has been happening in games for as long as there has been games, people in gene

Mana is a limited resource that you must carefully use as you would do with Gildars, Horses or Iron. Mana is not scarce beyond the early game but there is nothing wrong in using normal troops to complement your nuker.

[quote who="Creslin321" reply="2" id="3066248"] I support this suggestion. Easier than having to drop back to the menu and load a quicksave. And if there are people that like a more "hardcore" experience, then there can be a pre-game option to disable the "redo" button.[/quote] It's not "Hardcore", it's "default" experience. You ask for a "softcore" experience. "Hardcore" would fall in "No saves except for autosave when about to leave the game".

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="33" id="3066178"]Do we really want heroes to become truly crippled? Are there enough of them for this to work? [/quote] Hey, I saw one random monster kill a non-recruited Champion in one of my last games.

Those who want to reload will do it whenever something they don't like happens, that includes "Oh, my Champion got -1 to Strength!". Back in WoM, dying in battle was permadeath for the Champions. Keeping your nuker after he died in battle even if he loses 15% of HP, is better than death (especially if the nuker is high level and had lots of magic items). Reloaders gonna reload?

Probaly I just misread the subtitle of the thread?
