I get plenty of games in the middle... too often for my taste to be honest ;) Just spam CTRL-N until you are starting somewhat in the middle. (CTRL-U for checking if you have cheat enabled to really make sure)
[quote who="joeball123" reply="3" id="3376839"] The counter-attack immunity benefit to spears is kind of useless, though. When Bash triggers, it gives the same effect and prevents the next normal attack, too, and counter-attacks are already generally weaker than normal attacks, and if Mighty Blow kills off a unit, then that unit isn't going to make any counterattack it may have had. Plus, swords seem slightly rare in AI armies.[/quote] Crushing Blow eliminates Counterattack c
Lol. Nice blizzard mobs, I almost lost to them ;)
Nope. Hammers are the bang for the buck always. Hopefully they will tweak it soon. And that makes militias ridicilously scary as well... they can kill fully armored troops, where your spears barely make a dent. The defensive trait is interesting though, One-Handed Spears, and high armor, you can make some strategic decisions with it, but without it? No, get hammers instead.
[quote quoting="post"] Since playing the LH my friend and I have noticed the Threat Level rating is more time than not inaccurate. For example I would have a Strong stack and I come across a Army of Syndicate Assassins and such and they stack would be rated Medium. But they would wipe out my Strong army with out much effort. When examining the individual units in such an army the Treat Levels also do really reflex the real power of the unit. I have also seen this

[quote who="Darxim" reply="8" id="3376674"] Towns just don't really benefit much from Essences. Sure, you can spend 110 mana to make it seem like a 3/6/0, but chances are good that I don't have 110 mana to spare.

(and of course when AI's do stupid things like making a big town in high essence places ;)
They really need to tweak those traits... Some added passive effect would help a lot. 1 level is nothing really. Constitution gives more HP, and you don't need Accuracy etc. and whatever else you get from levels either.
[quote who="hakkarin" reply="14" id="3376479"] Some of the replies on this thread are basically saying I should just bring a better army, but that's missing the point. It doesn't matter what kind of army I will bring, I will STILL lose lots of troops because of that damn coal stone spell. [/quote] I never lose anything on those shamans... Fire resist cloaks, full HP/leveled troops (with decent HP) and focus fire with ranged. Fire resist cuts t
There are spells and enchantments for fire resist, fire resistant cloaks and a whole race dedicated to fire resist. So no, the wildlings didn't beat your awesome army, they beat your underprepared army. And yes we have all been there with those shamans ;)
Misleading title. You want more content for the vanilla version. The DLC adds content you want. I don't see the problem with the DLC at all here? Seems to me you like it?
See lots of autosave fixes, what about where your newly built unit disappears when you load autosave on the turn it was built?
Early game? The 2-6. Late game? Essence. Arcane forge will up mats to 5. Gentle rain for more food. Etc. With sorting pool it gets even better. Essence gives you flexibility, while that 2-6 is an awesome pioneer spammer ;-)
I tweaked all map sizes, get me some feedback how it works now ;)
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="5" id="3375166"] out of curiosity, are you expanding this mod to include the Small and Normal map sizes aswell? [/quote] (ported into smaller maps, but needs testing to see if they work, I just scaled down other maps on the 3rd file, give feedback if it works or not ;) ) I slightly enlarged them and made "sea" level at 55%+, it should work, but not necessarily, so I need feedback on it if you test "Large maps" and
It works on my computer , but it's not supported by Stardock, so it can be unstable dependant on your Computer. (you will get a message about it not being supported) Just try it and say if you have any troubles with it. ;)
It's cause you run the .xml file in the browser... dunno how to make you "save" it with left click. Just right click it, and "Save As" etc. and it should work. Edit: Added a zip file if you want to extract it instead.
So I made some new random map settings, since the vanilla ones end up being mostly all out massive Pangaeas with entrances everywhere making strategic options limited. This mod adds more water to your maps, making it consist of more chokepoints and secluded areas. This file contains new random map settings for all sizes as well as adding Gigantic. (Not supported by Stardock, but I've played through it a couple of times) <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.co
How hard would it be to make just a team option? Playing with a friend against AI in team could be an option, and then we could skip that whole faction against faction thing.
The only problem with that build is swarm. If you get Tectonic Bulwark (immune to swarm), assassin builds can be quite insane.

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="8" id="3374711"] If Heart of Fire only granted a flat +1 fire attack, I wouldn't bother with the enchantment. It's gotta balance with the rest of the enchantments availalble. Per essence is perfectly acceptable. All that needs to be done is have the AI think this way too and if they come across a 3 essence city, strongly consider it for Fortress and those enchantments. Problem fixed. Also, it wouldn't hurt for th
Yeah, my last game I kept getting shields from EVERY dragon :p (I killed 6+) We know random is random, but add some forced "randomness" into the algorithm? ;)
Well he obviously want to design his own? Since he is complaining about labor costs of "useless"chain and plate mail proficiences?
Heh? You can design your own units you know. Click the design tab and create away, no mod needed ;)
