[quote who="Frogboy" reply="8" id="3496638"] Once I have a chance we will be updating LH to v2.0 which is scheduled to have these features: New tactical battle AI Updated unit design (we're going to do more with damage types and designing units to counter) ZOC for monster lairs Lots of updates to the monster AI [/quote] Please look at enhancing diplomacy for 2.0.
Looking forward to taking this bad boy for a test drive.
[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="19" id="3491009"] Civilization V has 30000 to 40000 players daily. Among that group of players, there are a bunch of players who would play fantasy 4x if they felt the game was better/equal/slightyworse than Civ5. Right now, no fantasy 4x has managed to convince those players to move. [/quote] I play LH and I think "This is pretty fun, but if I could just tweak a few things..." I play Civ V: BNW and I think "This is spot on." <p
My completely random uneducated unknowing guesstimate would be just after Thanksgiving (late November.)
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="7" id="3486407"] If I'm not mistaken, there's a huge issue with stacks of groups using the abilities as well. 3x30 attacks are inferior to one 90 attack because defense soaks much less against a 90 attack. [/quote] True, but each instance in the 3x30 attack rolls against dodge, so there are more chances to hit.
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="770" id="3484148"] Playing with that myself you manually have to place the forest props and change the scale yourself (at least the way I was able to do it). edit: Press + or - on the number pad, to increase the size of props you place. [/quote] I think [Shift] or [Ctrl] + mousewheel will change rotation and scale. Not sure which does what. I know it works that way in the Builder's Forge, anyhow.
Most used: Fast/Finesse, Constitution, Precision(necessary for ranged units now) Commonly used: Bloodthirsty, Ironskin, Defender, Stealth/Scout, Plate Armor, Potential Sometimes used: [Muscle/Fury/Brute, Enmity, Underdog]*, [Balance/Lithe/Acr
Version 3 is now live! Fixed icons; 1.7 compliant. Enjoy!
[quote who="highwayhoss" reply="10" id="3482029"] Great mod! My custom soverign enjoys the new spells. [/quote] Thanks! I've always felt the Life spellbook could use a little lift. Update coming soon.
Confirmed: AI is declaring war. Thank you!
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="90" id="3481689"] mqpiffle - Do you have the release patch? I know mine only came through at 1:40ish PM EST. [/quote] This was as of the latest beta release(7/17). If that issue was fixed prior to the full relase, then that would be a pleasant surprise! [e digicons]:beer:[/e]
[quote]Fixed an issue keeping the AI from declaring war [/quote] This is not fixed. Also, AI factions with Expansionist trait are producing hoards of Pioneers. There's a screenshot floating around the forums...I'll try to find it or link my own at some point.
[quote who="Avatar137" reply="89" id="3481566"] Quoting Ericridge, reply 87 Yup I notice the same thing too. Glad to hear it's not just me then. I was starting to wonder if I were cursed or the AI just doesn't like the way I look! [e digicons]:dog:[/e] [/quote]
[quote who="highwayhoss" reply="3" id="3481332"] Waitasec......85% UNREST? [e digicons]8C[/e] That city should be engulfed in wall to wall riots, if not revolting! [e digicons]XO[/e] [/quote] Why? Making the city basically useless isn't enough? This isn't a simulation, it's a strategy game.
[quote who="abiessener" reply="76" id="3481198"] On champ XP sharing -- the problem with having everyone get full XP is that with how limited (easy) XP for heroes is, it becomes the obvious and overbearingly powerful strat to always stack your champs up to maximize the (easy) XP you can farm off of quests/lairs/wildlands. And on a thematic level, LH is more about having heroes lead armies rather than D&D-style bands of adventurers roaming the landscape. [/quote] Yes.&nbs
[quote who="ins2" reply="3" id="3480903"] One quick newbie question: do "empire-wide" bonuses such as Academy of Revelation or Governor's Office or Guild Tribunal stack with each other as more cities in your empire reach higher levels and acquire them? [/quote] yes
[quote]Recommended Changes for Conclave level up improvements: Reduce Scroll Scribe's Research bonus from 20% down to 10% Move Oracle to level 4 Conclave upgrade. Move Tenfell University to level 3 Conclave upgrade. Improve Tenfell University's bonus by adding "+1 Fame per Season" Change Amethyst Vault to be "+1 Crystal per Essence per Season" Reduce Academy of Revelation's global Research bonus from 10% down to 5% The Pyre
[quote who="abiessener" reply="64" id="3480633"] On city level-up upgrades, I do find myself picking the same ones almost all the time. Mostly because Strike Garrison, Prison, Oracle, Amethyst Vault, Guild Grocer, and Governor's Whatever are so crazy freaking good. I'll poke Derek to see if he agrees [/quote] I agree city level-ups need a LOT of love. Funny, I almost always take Infirmary at Fortress lvl 3. I actually think that level-up (Fort3)
[quote who="Ericridge" reply="57" id="3480412"] At very least this does explain why most of the AIs fail hard now, they're going tall and dying horribly in general, ones that go wide and develop their cities successfully while using cheats to mitigate the unrest penalties is the ones that give me a good fight. [/quote] Less unrest mitigation = tall > wide. Wide was overwhelmingly the best choice, previously. We'll see how it plays out with the new patc
[quote who="Alstein" reply="47" id="3480276"] We need a high-end unrest reducing building that can be built in any city with all the nerfs you are doing to unrest. (requiring Alliances or some unused civics tech) [/quote] Moar wunderz plz.
I'll take that as a "yes." [e digicons];P[/e]
Do you know if we'll get a second round of beta testing with the new changes?
Wondering now if this update is going to need a second round of beta testing, of if the hoped-for release date of 7/17 is still being planned. I would personally prefer another beta update and the release date be pushed back.
[quote who="Fezziwig" reply="7" id="3479800"] Nobody ever answered my earlier question--where do I find this trait? It's obviously not part of a trait tree for a class so is it only on items?[/quote] There is a single hero who has this trait. It cannot be learned by anyone else.
[quote who="Dhuran" reply="13" id="3479833"]It would also be nice to have an option to target all units in a tactical battle (enemy and friendly).[/quote] This is already possible. Simply leave out the tag.
