Nope UNbalaced is the way to go and leave OUT Multiplayer altogether. MOM proved it works and it's a lot more fun playing with unbalanced races than playing basically the same template just a different skin or look. I'll always want unbalanced and no multiplayer from now on. P) Multiplay ruins games variation of the factions makes them more fun and gives the game longevity like MOM. :)
What makes MOM stand out above any of the others is the unbalanced method which they used. Each faction was a little better than the last depending on how you started with death magic being one of the most powerful. The blue magic was pretty strong. But, things just stood out more and were more fearful to encounter like the Skydrake or a passel of paladins. I loved everything about MOM.....the music was ghey and inspiring, you got xp for you leader even if you didn't go out adventur
excuses excuses all you fanbois ever do is make up excuses for these terribly made games like AOW III lol talk about a moron you look like one right now as well with egg all over your face. lol
Well, they tried but they couldn't do it. FE/LH offically better than AOW III an always will be. :)) Developers are so scared they are deleting posts that are negative on Steam hahah. If you say anything against AOW III you are tagged a troll lol. Even Stardock fans aren't that bad. Or froggy :) Metacritic user scores have it at 77 now down from an origional 84 and most of the comments are about lame ai and no real depth or detail just pretty pictures. Hurray for FE/LH long live
[quote who="Alstein" reply="8" id="3448611"]You might want to take a look at Age of Wonders 3 as well, which comes out in about 18 days or so. That's got the leveling as well, and looks super-promising. That's not saying you should forget about LH , it's a worthy game, and it's going to have expansions and a new game this year as well. (You could wait for the new LH later on this year) It does come up on sale fairly often, if you
The idea is to let the AI have that victory option but not you. You must conquer the whole world before one of them casts the Spell of Mastery. Any good strategist and tatician worth his weight in salt should be able to do that. :))
Those of us who got it FREE are those of us who bought Elemental War of Magic when it was new. It's for US. For our dedication and loyalty and Stardocks screwup too of course. :) We got Fallen Enchantress FREE before Legendary Heroes. It's nice to get something FREE. Now, if I could only get around to playing it anymore. It's lost its lustre to me. Even with all the upgrading an improvements. If there's anything I hate it's starting a game over n over n over again because

I'm not being disrespectful I'm stating facts about the mod. Not attacking the modder or whoever he is. The fact that they don't get paid shows in the mods. They rush thru them changing numbers not even thinking about the consequences throughout the whole game. That's why we have PROFESSIONAL designers and programmers. Those that know. Modders are for the most part flybynight wanna be game makers. But, they do not have the education or the money to be one or they probabl
Sieges would just be another way to exploit the ai being able to attack from all 4 sides. As it is it would be better if it were more like Warlord IV battle system and you just have all the units in one group attacking all the units in the other(enemy) group and roll the die. Tactical play just makes it easier to out maneuver or exploit the ai as well. The best combat system where ai is concerned and it is about the ai because there is no multiplayer at the moment is the most simplest f
Hey if you can't take the ridicule then don't post any threads. It's a horrible mod and worthless to me. That's my opinion and I will stick to it. You did or whoever made those mods you linked did nothing but make the game easier even if it did improve the ai performance.
After looking at all the craap that was put into the transmutation spell line these mods are not worth the effor. It's plain to see he wanted some advantages that normally wouldn't happen like transporting objects several squares away and this vault madness, getting rares and ultra rare by just settling and building some buildings. The is suppose to be an explore and find game not give it to me on a silver platter game. Sure the ai can use these features too and it probably does
there's nothing to compete with with AOW III. After Shadowlands or Shadowlords they'll just be making more of the same, just a new name on the package and some graphics candy.
UI - The last thing I want is a clutter of buttons to have or need to press to get somewhere. I bought a mouse for a reason. Give me a list I can click on and one button to bring up that list, tabs are fine. Tactical - the game isn't a wargame and doesn't need all that extra mess for accuracy at a distance and objects in the way. If anything it needs to be more beer and pretzelish. Documentation - Who looks at the manual, spellbook or the enclycopedia anymore? It
Let's not and say we did. :))
[quote who="Raiddinn" reply="28" id="3420542"]Little Willie may have some serious personality issues, but he is at least in the ballpark on one thing as much as I hate to say it. There are a couple different game plans that stand out as clearly better than the rest. The game is just designed to reward players that play according to those plans. For instance, having a lot of cities is really good in this game. The AI picks on people that are the lowest on scor

[quote who="Raiddinn" reply="2" id="3420768"]I find that the best way for me to win is for me to not engage the opponents until really late in the game. AIs would have no chance if they didn't declare war on me until turn 200. I don't know if I have ever lost a game where I survived past turn 100. I think it can only penalize the AIs to drag the game out. Generally speaking if their power graphs are linear and cap early vs my graphs that are

It's too damn useful for grinding[/quote] Nice template building there that. lol there's too much doing the same thing every game to make this game great. It's too predictable. If it were my way the AI would learn and start doing things counter to your templates. But, alas, nobody can seem to program a thinking ai even though it should be easy with
Because sometimes the rules need to be changed for the better of the game and my sanity. :))
Where can one mod the ai DsRaider? To select the way the ai builds things. Another game I modded years ago was Kohan II. Look for a Ravinhood101 SAI mod on the now defunct Gamespy. They ran a test on numerous player made AI's and mine was in the top 10. I didn't get #1 because they also used my unfinished and unworked really Huaron mod I was piddling around with and it was attached to my other mod. But that's no matter, if I can adjust how the ai builds armies and pr
Good thing you can't THINK like a human being. Even your avatar shows you are one. lol keep trying MO you'll get there some day. LOL
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="29" id="3418069"]I'll write more on the particular challenges on LH AI but I will say that if people call the AI in 1.5 "broken" that I think it'll be time to throw in the towel on lh AI. I'll know then that some people have unrealistic expectations. [/quote] It's not unrealistic to expect an AI to play to WIN? That seems to be what's missing a lot in games. They are just delaying action opponents.....one is going to
Just another way to exploit the ai. Does anyone play a challenging game anymore? Must it always be for FUN? Yeah it's fun exploiting the AI isn't it? lol
