[quote who="Crastiloowa" reply="11" id="3427407"]Provide the benefits of the "Underdog" trait or similar [/quote] Great! I like you idea. There is a trait like Coward which gives -30 Accuracy vs units of higher level. So Heroic could give some bonus to Accuracy. Sadly Tarthans already have one version of Heroic trait. I think that units with heroic trait should fight better when they fight in small groups or badly wounded.
[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="8" id="3426531"]To answer your second question: Since you are on this forum, I assume you have read 1 or 2 fantasy novels? Or played an RPG? Quests...swords...armor...the correlation is strong in this one [/quote] Yes I have... Wanderlust! What for all players play and replay? What do they hunter and lust for? EXPERIENCE and LOOT!!! Wanderlust means Experiencelust and Lootlust. I pay for a map and lust for more experience and loot! My crazy greed is all
[quote who="Fallenchar" reply="6" id="3427352"] Webusver, I like how you try to poll everyone about what they'd like to see in a mod. You are talking about the mage units, right? I always imagine them as regular soldiers who have learned how to use staves. Like a mortar crew. So they can still wear any armor they like.[/quote] I just want to gather any possible ideas, make a good mod and return to gameplay. I think now that you are right. I remembered that Quendar

[quote who="Crastiloowa" reply="2" id="3427129"]Note that once you unlock "Aegis robes" they'll prefer those to leather...[/quote] Right, before Aegis robes mages and light units are all in leather and all look like soldiers, after Aegis robes all are in robes and now all look like mages. It's possible to add a trait, for example "Initiate" and assign all robes and staffs to be equipable only if unit has this trait of Path of Mage and all other weapons and armor non-equippable
Recently I felt sick when my units mages and heroes prefered leather armor. They don't look as mages in leather armor, do they? What if there were a trait "Initiate" (or what name do you suggest?) which will allow to wear Staffs and robes, but will disallow to use any other armor? It will act as Armor profficiency 1 and 2 and could be applied to trained units. I think it also should grant somthing magic in a small bonus, for example 10% spell resistance and +1 to initiativ

[quote who="Raiddinn" reply="11" id="3426353"] I am not really sure that we are talking about what a "Warrior Caste" usually entails. A caste system generally means that society is divided into clear groupings and ranked against each other with relatively little potential to move from one caste to another. Usually, whatever caste your parents were in is what caste you are going to be in. So there might be a caste system that breaks down like this: Royal
[quote who="Raiddinn" reply="6" id="3426346"]Even standing alone, the ability to double you exp from quests provides a pretty good levelling advantage.[/quote] There are two questions I see unresolved: 1. Why two features (quest maps and double experience from quests) are separated? 2. What is relation between two Atican swords, armor and Wanderlust? What if logically unite both quest featires in one trait - Wanderlust, then move Athican armor and swords to Her
[quote who="joeball123" reply="5" id="3426067"]you should use Warrior Caste as the trait which gives +1 level to trained units and the Training technology, because to me a warrior caste is a portion of the population which is dedicated to training for warfare; an extra level and the Training technology would seem to suit this. If you want to keep Warriors around, then I'd suggest going with a flat bonus (e.g. +1 attack) rather than a percentile bonus so as to allow its benefit to be overs
[quote who="Matopicus" reply="3" id="3426054"] I don't know that adding a new slot for a trait would fit the description of "heroic" i mean thinking of the definition of the word "having the characteristics of a hero or heroine; very brave" There really isn't any direct relation to the game since we can't add personality and such. Just giving my troops an additional trait that increases my attack doesn't make me heroic in anyway. So with that in mind what effe
[quote who="nowar1979" reply="10" id="3426091"] I´m playing with 9 or 10 opponents on a huge map. Think the crashes started more frequently the longer the game went on. Hardly any crashes in the beginning but they started to become more frequent after more turns. Think I´m at 90+ turns now and the crashes keeps coming. Will try to look into this and give more info if I have time, home sick right now and had to spend the day in bed instead of at work or in front of
The mod is updated for better performance on huge maps with many opponents. Needs testing.
Interesting idea but one-per-faction buildings don't help AI because it trains units anywhere. Samurai - is the example of warrior caste. They could be trained in various cities. May be all cities should give a bonus? And what bonus?
[quote who="N1ghthavvk" reply="1" id="3426041"] I'd really like such a racial trait. But what will you call it? Advanced Traitor? [/quote] Why traitor? - "Herioc" be its name! Imagine Heroic Altarians with 4 tratits, while others have just 3. There was a perk in Fallout 1 and 2 which gave additional parameters. It inspired me with idea to modify Heroic trait in such way.
There are some racial traits which unlock some tech from the start. On the other hand this saves only 6-8 turns and there is no more benefit from them. So I never take "Civic" and "Warriors" traits. And you? But what if Civic (like Scholar gives +10% research) will also give +25% gold for all the game, would this be worth taking this trait? What if Warriors will give Training tech and +1 exp level for all troops, would this be worth taking this trait? Thus we have noth
There are two traits for races - Wanderlust and Heroic which are made for quest hunting. But Wanderlust gives so many bonuses, that Heroic trait is almost useless. Do you agree? Do you use Heroic trait for you custom race? What if we give exp bonus for quests to trait Wanderlust and give Heroic some heroic bonus? Which bonus do you think is enough heroic for Heroic trait? I plan to add possibility for trained units to have additional 4th trait. Now they have their Blood trait

[quote who="nowar1979" reply="17" id="3425716"]The only thing I don´t like (which is not your fault I think) is that since I set AI difficulty to Hard and above (custom) they all start with a huge amount of just everything.

[quote who="merlinme" reply="6" id="3425149"] I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Nature's Cloak (Earth spell). With a few Earth shards and troops wearing Dragon Hide Cloaks it's perfectly possible to get 100% Fire resistance for your entire army, which makes things vastly easier; you can ignore the dragon's breath attack, which is what does most of the damage. Protection From Fire is another possibility (under Abjuration in the Mage path), although it takes more picks
