war2 balancing...
« on: March 29, 2017, 10:34:37 PM »
ok the heal is staying for knights...at least 3x as better.

but what about this mages that can raise the dead...but the dead is infested grunts,or even lvl 1 knights,if they dont use upgrades :o

just playing around
heal is atleast 3 times more affective...

unholy knights(no way its gonna be 6mp a cast :P)

and another one not released(takes a little more work)mages that raises knights.

or even knights that raises knights... :blank: but still gotta keep a balance with the orcs  :P

(answers pb's wide heal cast but sadly i doubt lust could handle this and everyone would play humans  :P)

heal for sure needs to be updated in the original its semi worth getting with this one.

Hi,

my ideas:

I often think what changes would make War2 even better than it is!

Because of lust many people think that changing heal will improve the game.
I do not agree with that. I think the paladin is almost perfect. But indeed I would change 1 thing about the paladin. His line of sight! I would increase it to 1 more than a DK/Mage

Paladins are not about heal but for exorcism. The problem is that as a player you never get to see the DK coming to use exorcism.

A second change that I have mentioned you in the past, was increasing the speed of archers to faster than knights. But you explained me that it is hard and needs to change the .exe file.
The idea behind that is to introduce a hit and run unit.

The skeleton spell is almost useless. I have seen only once or twice been used efficiently. Generally, many of the spells are only for very specific usages and that is why people stick to d&d, blizzard, haste, invisibility.
If you could make the skeletons a bit stronger maybe it would be interesting. Start by giving them the stats of grunts and we see from there.

Cheers

I like the change. Do you consider heal stronger than lust now? Also swag I think balanced enough and balanced are two different meanings. Orcs are superior on almost every level except tier 2

in a choke lust will not beat betterheal with a group of knights healing the fighting knights..but out in the open,when u cast heal it takes away attacking, lust will always win.

it should be about = to it maybe a little more as it can heal >3x a knight hp, lust is =3x but way easier spell also.
 
the skeleton spell raising slower knights would be op :P

yeah i agree but i always got copters with my units..exorcism is a must and a very damning spell also as it just leaves your opponent with lust.

Well the heal you describe might be op vs a human cpu!
Already human cpu with paladins is trouble...

lol I know the feeling!
CPU has a talent to do simultaneous heal on multiple paladins when they are on 1hp!
You really feel cheated  >:(

These codes almost done. Just time to start adding the changes for spells, cost, who can cast. We will let the little guys decide and document the effects. So much stuff to add but at least it's easy! Let's try to start this weekend so we can retire.
