How to Replace default global traits in custom Era
I'm currently learning WML by tweaking VerySimpleEra, allegedly created specifically for newbies to practice. I managed to add the new traits to the Era's poll but I want to remove the global traits e.g.(strong,resilient,intelligent,quick) to replace them later with custom version. Help. The one way...

Re: Sir Kaylan
If you want to give certain characters a slightly customized look, you could come up with palette switches (in the vein of Darken Volk and Grüü) to wire in. Even then I think Sir Kaylan is one of the least deserving of such a treatment, seeing that in his one and only appearance in the campaign, he...

Sir Kaylan
I've been playing HttT (again) and as I went to "BlackWater Port" scenario I noticed that Sir Kaylan have a different portrait than generic GrandKnight. Cool, I thought, but then I looked and saw that his sprite looks the same as other GK. So I spent a few hours tweaking GK sprite, trying ...

Re: [mainline] SilverMage nerf
Well, the difference in damage of 12 points VS it's 50/50 resists and teleport ability, I dont feel like particulary inclined to choose ArchMage. You're forgetting that the Arch Mage has more hitpoints (54 vs 48), which is useful against non fire or cold attacks, and that the Arch Mage can advance ...

Re: [mainline] SilverMage nerf
It is not static 1mp. The cost is same as is for moving to target hex with usual way. However about nerf.. after all, this unit should be useful to compensate for much lower damage. Well, the difference in damage of 12 points VS it's 50/50 resists and teleport ability, I dont feel like particulary ...

[mainline] SilverMage nerf
I suggest to increase the cost of teleport ability to 6 mp, so he cant move after teleporting and have to rest a turn after he reached a village before using it. So, let me get this right: while this unit has an ability that allows him to cross the entire map at the cost of 1 MP, he even has 6mp(as ...

Need help with custom ability/special
I'm trying to make a custom type of unit that resists damage of any type applied by melee attacks. So far I came up with this special: #define WEAPON_SPECIAL_FIGHTER [damage] id=fighter name= _ "fighter" description= _ "This unit takes less damage in melee combat." [filter_weapon...

Re: Scenario 15: The Lost General
I couldnt finish the scenario because after I completed the main objective: "Kill all enemy leaders." nothing happens. Some sort of bug?
P.S. That's not a compressed replay. Thats a normal replay file inside an archive.

Re: [mainline] Necromancer stats
My guess is to emphasize a Necromancer's preparedness to become a lich. Since the Necro is getting close to the lich-dom transformation, he/she has probably cast several spells which serve as "first steps" to lichdom. Probably a side-effect of that would be the great number of hitpoints (...

[mainline] Necromancer stats
I apologize if this matter was already discussed before but a quick search did not return anything similar so I'll make this thread. The question is: why Necromancer has 70hp? I mean we are looking on a magic user here, not a warrior and it looks like the developers agree that this kind of units sho...

Re: [mainline] Elvish Ranger/Avenger
Are you saying they shouldn't have ambush then? Or do you think that ambush plus backstab is totally fair and not overpowered? Yes I agree that if we are to add backstab ability to current Ranger/Avenger unit, it would probably be the best mixed-fighter in the game. But, I was more err...contemplat...

[mainline]Elvish Ranger/Avenger & "backstab"
Has anyone read Elvish Avenger's description lately? No? But I'm sure you rememeber that it describes the tactics they use: they silently surrond the enemy, then wait in ambush until enemy units clash with your forces and then attack then from the back. First time I've read this description I though...

Re: [mainline] 3+ level Advancements
What Velensk said. On single-player, rare L4 and L5 units are perfectly acceptable since campaign designers will specifically account for their (definite or potential) presence in a given scenario. Thus, there is simply no compelling reason to remove the existing rare L4 advancements and unique L4/...
