[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="3067163"]Derek and I found a bug in the maul code this evening. It's supposed to lower your accuracy by 4 each time you strike but it wasn't working as designed. Next patch will fix it.[/quote] still not enough, the thread started made a wrong argument, i never EVER lost a hero against a bear the problem is on weapons since heroes has a LOT of accuracy the penalty doesnt quite cover the op of the weapon b

[quote who="Alstein" reply="16" id="3066718"]Oh, I do believe a nerf was needed. This is just way too much of a nerf. Right now, .76 is less enjoyable then .75 despite the nice fixes in other areas. I'm going to see if there's ways around- you may have to do military techs early and get better units, but that's still leaving a large chunk of early game where you're spamming doing nothing- which is unfun.

im playing on hard and im leveling up my sovereign i close the game is lvl 9 and heroes 7 8 i think its a bit harder, 1 melee i have is very badly injured cause he died often and there was really no way to prevent it the feeling is better now, you need to think a bit, but not too much, you can still explore and adventure successfully just need to play careful cause its much less safe than b4 also the balance to monsters seem

im playing right now and my sovereign hardly got lvl 5 but its viable b4 i could too soon steamroll everything, now i lose some fight, and i few i dont even try there are more drops it seems, i saw more things for casters and a few new weapons i think still the main problem is ai weakness i just wonder with heroes and do quests/kill enemies leaving the cities TOTALLY unguarded beasts and neithe

mana system is quite balanced and working imo, MAYBE i would consider some combat mana limit based on champions stats maybe int or something like that, but in general is already working well

because regular units are not so weak, they are good, just too much easy to freefarm with heroes lead to very powerful early mid heroes while to get as good units you need a ton of research also i find research quite slow, even with 4 5 cities to get the highest tier of research takes really too long, basically it take the time your hero party can kill the whole world:D thats another problem heroes are self sufficient while army need resea

did anyone actually try higher diff settings? it seems slightly better i fought a irane very strong in the final battle for the capital she had 250 hp!!! very fucking hard to take down, she also came with many spellcasts buffs mainly and had a party of 6 heroes i had 4 very strong myself with the sovereign being epic they all had quite a high defense and i was doing not so much dmg and also she was dodging everything, the f

thats one the most powerful tech to research tbh i think one problem of the game is the lack of "cool" techs to reach, so im against removing it

i like the one hero per party in general but it would be very hard to manage it what if 3 heroes are stationed in a city that get attacked? seems too much complicated

[quote quoting="post"] I had three, and only three cities for the whole game [/quote] uhm so? we all agreed ALWAYS that games like the old civ 4 were shit and needed to be changed in the beta of wom brad told he was trying to force low cities number adding some malus to large empires... 3 cities is perfectly fine, for now i often play with 2 tbh unless i find another great

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="8" id="3061714"]Initiative just needs to give less turns compared to trained units, and more spells need casting time[/quote] well the point is stilll that initiative from items and traits NEED to give 2x spell casts otherwiese thre would be no point into stacking it so its a blind road here, either we accept the system with this possibility or the whole initiative bonuses are mute im not

real problem here is heroes cant die... why spend mana?

[quote who="Silicor" reply="38" id="3060843"] Agree... It would be good if a hero added a significant bonus and could even level running a city. This would give another option on how to use heroes and offer another play style. [/quote] you can do this i dunno how effective it is but there is a building giving heroes some small xp if stationed in the city

whatever nerf is fine, but i dont think whould be too huge there are other perks giving 3 stats, this is a rare so i think something like 1 stat for every 2 levels is ok it has to be strong, also when the real tuning and fix to ai and general balance hit the game it wont be so easy to free farm with champions (at least it should be so)

tbh there is no way this can be balanced why on earth there should be something giving x extra attacks? even if there is a chance to miss still there would be a chance to attack n times.. nonsense also there is already one cool skill for assassins like allowin double attack, thats already OP imo and its just 2 and its a skill you cant use always really no way a propriety of a weapon allow the normal attack to multipl

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="29" id="3060152"]Champions should gain injuries when they fall in combat but survive because you won the fight. That appears to be a very good suggestion to me.[/quote] it doesnt really i dont understand why you want immortals champions and your idea wouldnt prevent the abuse of letting them tank no remorse then ppl say melee are OP , ofc they are op if they can do load of dmg, tank som

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="16" id="3058175"] At GDC, friends of my from Firaxis told me that only around 4% of the Civilization IV user base had ever played a single MP game (not finished a game, simply tried it).[/quote] that doesnt high tbh :P also do you know games in this century are like "parfumes" ? i know LOTS of ppl who buy DOZENS of games on steam or get gifts etc and NEVER EVER play them <

[quote who="rillifane" reply="33" id="3060674"] Taking Wizard1200's idea even further... give the heroes a starting soft level cap of about 4 after which they gain maybe 25-35% xp and then adding a few techs to perhaps the warfare tree that can increase that soft cap by another 4 or so levels. This way it will hopefully keep heroes from outpacing armies too quickly and sort of make you have to choose between the two options for a military.[/quote] no.

[quote who="Silicor" reply="28" id="3060602"]I agree heroes can be toned down but the biggest problem is the lack of aggressive neighbors. I was playing with on med map, normal with moderate monsters and once I cleared the area around my cities they were never attacked. It is too easy to set off on an endless adventure with your heroes and never break up the "Killer stack". [/quote] yes, like i said already THIS is the problem</

[quote who="Archonsod" reply="11" id="3060387"]Heroes might be immortal, but since there seems to be a good chance of them picking up injuries when they fall in combat it's not that big an issue. Let your hero fall once too often and they'll (literally) be too crippled to be much use. [/quote] lol thats the main problem man injuries COULD be a problem IF anyone would abuse the lack of defenses to attack

[quote who="RavenX" reply="3" id="3060261"]When I remember back on my MoM memories I think about the work it took to get my heroes up to that OP level where they could solo everything on the map. There were literally spells that made weapons and items make your character untouchable. This was part of MoM's charm honestly. Heroes should be OP at a certain level....eventually. I think what it boils down to with FE's heroes is they get a little too OP too fast. Then again

i doubt spell dmg is a stat its not wow i guess whatever says "increase spell dmg by" just means it will increase the total dmg done by such spell(s)

[quote who="klaxton499" reply="19" id="3059998"]IMHO - Limit the number of champions in a single army to 1 or 2 which will remove the problem of the killer stack. This would help push some champions into the cities for defense.[/quote] naa this is bad the problem you guys still dont get is ai is dumb and its all ofc you can freefam with a 4 5 champions cause ai enemies never attack you els4where and ev

well once you have spells aoe everything change, a melee can only kill 1 unit at a time and still take a good dmg from multiple units dunno why they removed the counterattack, we so much discussed about it for wom and now its gone for no reason anyway i tried blizzard and few other spells adn they look powerful to me in few occasions when fighting multi mobs, much better than risking taking dmg from enemies but if you talk o

well i never play games at difficuly below the max in single player, it just doesnt make sense to me, but ofc this is a beta so for now im at normal too (also i remember something about higher diff levels not working yet so maybe its the same)
