[quote who="davrovana" reply="29" id="3354900"]Giving it 50% armor penetration would really make it useful. Even 25% would make it worth fielding. [/quote] Yes. As it stands, though, no armor pen and therefore no catapults.
[quote who="Gandalftheredskin" reply="27" id="3354028"]Also tried designing a female version, and the weakness trait also immediately disappears. Same when trying to switch to Henchman(and why can't Henchmen be female?), as well as when trying to redesign from the redesigned build, thus proving that in Legendary Heroes at least, men are the weaker sex.[/quote] This is evidently the case! I mean, female units just aren't a thing. They require too many character models
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="21" id="3353809"]Second, there is a prevailing notion in fantasy games that chainmail armor is lighter than plate, and that plate armored combatant is a sort of heavy, slow tank. Plate armor was in fact a technological upgrade to chainmail, and was superior in every way, including being lighter and offering better mobility and protection. Even when full plate suits were rendered obsolete by firearms, cavalry retained the use of plate cuirass till as late as 18t
[quote who="Alstein" reply="13" id="3352723"] Best solution there would be to make armor proficiency a 4th trait slot. [/quote] [e digicons]k1[/e] This is a really great solution, if you ask me. Since the extra labour cost already covers the trait's production value, there is absolutely no reason why we can't have a dedicated 4th armor slot that allows you to specify your unit's chosen level of armor proficiency. If it's unoccupied, maybe you

[quote who="Anelyn" reply="11" id="3353710"]Unlike most peeps I enjoy playing Assassin classes (as Sovereign and even heroes). What I'm waiting for SD to fix is couple abilities from this specialization that literally don't work (like shadow strike armor ignore, and Break armor remove).[/quote] Wait, I knew break didn't work (though I was under the impression that they'd fixed that one), but shadow strike doesn't do anything either?! What a gyp! I wondered why my A
[quote who="tjashen" reply="8" id="3353645"]This would get tricky with special items (rings, amulets, etc.). I'm thinking, to keep things simple, you only be allowed a single item upgrade at a time (choose one from the dropdown menu). Yes, if you wanted multiple items this would take longer/multiple rounds with the upgrade window, but the alternative is to give each item it's own line, which might clutter up the upgrade window a bit much in the later stages of the game.[/q
[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="15" id="3353738"]These should all be removed from the game. What a lame ass level choice, let alone 3 or 4 choices. Take them all out and change leveling so we level more and faster. Make the choices something fun and not something lame.[/quote] Though I agree, this is a totally different topic from the OP.
Is this an example of a misspelling that carried through the coding?
[quote]Also, sometimes my horse mounted ranged hero's animation for the AoE ranged special does not play and the game hangs for about 5-10 seconds until suddenly damage numbers pop up (no arrow tracers) and the round resumes. Other times, the animation does play immediately and you can see the arrow tracers. But the lag happens more often than not it seems.[/quote] And it's not just mounted units. I am not 100% positive about whether this is still present in 0.87, but when I a
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="23" id="3353440"]Quoting BernieTime, reply 22 in the Horse/Warg balance thread the Knockdown % on mounts really shouldn't be 100%. I think this is because of the animations that need to be created to make this look correct.[/quote] And once again the issue with this is that this completely nonsensical attribute is a result of laziness on the dev's part. I really wouldn't care if when my horses were knocked prone that they didn'
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="12" id="3353373"]I would also like to add that, now with Horses and Wargs being more scarce than before, this opens up the door for fantastic mounts! Being able to find a Unicorn Grove or a Griffin's Roost and have them outpost scarcer amounts of mounts relative to horses or wargs, but enough to that the player can fully explore having the new tech "Fantastic Mounts", being researchable right after 'Warg Riders'.[/quote] Yeah, I like the new s

[quote who="FuzzyGold" reply="4" id="3351634"] The path is determined by the path that a Pioneer would take instead of what a Scout would take, which is what we want.[/quote] That only applies if your unit has the "Master Scout" ability, though, doesn't it? In a lot of cases it *is* quicker to go around the river on a meandering road rather than to try and cross two swamps and a river.
[quote who="Anelyn" reply="25" id="3351626"]Am not sure how well those changes would work, for the following reason: if you fight against a high initiative summoner, your precious cavalry will be surrounded by skeletons negating their movement and charge dmg bonus, while you pelt them with arrows / spells.

Instead of showing all 3 traits, the unit will only display the last one. 3) Yes, alter the to anything you see fit.

Thanks! I have a few other questions about this. 1) Where are the icons located? I notice it has "Ability_Ironskin_Icon.png" listed there, but what folder is it looking in for that image? 2) What is the "HideWhenUpgraded" field? 3) Can I add another category, say "Weaknesses", containing attributes with negative labor modifiers?
I always wonder why the enemy widows will try to web one of my units immediately after the other one has succeeded in webbing it. Surely the big ol " +Webbed " floating above my dude's head would tip off the other spider that he should maybe switch focus to one of the other murderous hordes charging at him with axes raised. I think part of the problem is that the AI doesn't properly re-evaluate their moves based on the outcome of other abilities and fights. It just kind
