War of Legends [MP Era for Wesnoth 1.10+]

[Lord-Knightmare]

a) Giving them both 60% defence on castle (they're not tanks, so giving them a slightly higher defence on that terrain shouldn't break them)

Done.

b) Make the Rune Forger's attacks magical (with the arbiter's magical/slowing attack + melee attack, there's absolutely no logical reason anyone would ever advance Savants to Rune Forger). Or maybe not give them 'magical' attack - but it's important to give them any advantage over the Arbiter, otherwise the Rune Forger will be effectively useless as a unit.

Gave the Rune Forger magical for all its attacks. It's basically a heavy damage dealer now.

I'll also insist on what I said about the Weaver line needing some boosts...

As for the Weaver-line, I have checked it. The Prophetess-line seems to be in need of the most adjustment.
I have the following ideas:

• Add magical to melee and add an arcane ranged attack such as divine lightning and give it a fancy name like ancient lightning cipher.
• Add magic armor like that in Skyrim. Buffed resistances for all damage types and adding steadfast.
• Add a ranged attack that petrifies an opponent for one turn. It could be called paralysing cipher or chronostasis cipher. We're still discussing the attack name.

Here's the current change-log:

Spoiler:

Windsong:
---> Heretic: +10% fire and cold resistance, +1 sword damage, +enchanted (always 60% chance to hit) ranged, +5 HP, +10% defence on castle/keep
---> Warmonger: +10% fire and cold resistance, +5 HP, +3 sword damage, +1 frenzy damage, +enchanted ranged, +10% defence on castle/keep
---> Lorekeeper: +steadfast
---> Oathkeeper: +steadfast
---> Courier: +4 HP, +1 cost, +2 crush damage, +3 ranged damage
---> Emissary: +5 HP, +2 sword damage, +3 ranged damage, +1 cost
---> Reaver: +4 HP, +3 ranged damage, +2 melee damage
---> Dreadnought: +2 melee damage, +3 ranged damage, +16 cost (it had the same cost as the Reaver...)
---> Courier-line: improved defences on most terrain-types.
---> Seeker-line: improved defences on most terrain-types.
---> Seeker: +2 HP, +1 MP, + melee damage, ranged attack changed from 8-1 to 5-2
---> Skyrunner: +6 HP, +1 MP, +10% impact resistance, +2 melee damage, +2 ranged damage
---> Stormbringer: +1 MP, +1 melee damage, +1 ranged damage
---> Pathfinder: +5 HP, +1 MP, +2 melee damage, ranged attack changed from 13-1 to 8-2
---> Sribe-line: +1 damage to all attacks
---> Rune Forger: All attacks are now 'magical'
---> Sky Shard-line: +1 melee damage
---> Weaver: +1 melee damage
---> Envoy: heals+4 ability, +1 ranged damage
---> Herald: heals+4 ability, +2 ranged damage

Great!

I'd add all three of them Since the Herald line is already more battle-oriented, in keeping with the unit description the Prophetess and Ascendant could be more of a support unit that deals no heavy damage but has a variety of unique skills/abilities. The ancient lightning cipher could be a stronger attack (even single use, like 25-1, with 'magical') just so she won't be completely defenceless. Magic armour would also make her more durable on the battlefield. For the Ascendant, I'd even give her the 'Protection' ability, allowing her to slightly increase the defence of allied lv1-lvl3 units (again, Windsong are strongly defensive), as well as teleport; considering that they deal pretty low damage, even with all these abilities they shouldn't be broken - they'd mostly be the ultimate support unit.
I also love the petrify attack! It should deal pretty low damage (like, 1 point of damage/2 uses), since it already paralyses the opponent. And I'm in favour of 'chronostasis cipher' - sounds a lot more badass

On the Herald/Envoy line - I still think their attacks should get 'magical' (or maybe 'enchanted' would be best)

I will make changes now. Gonna need some help in writing the code for the Chronostasis cipher event though. Chrono means time and stasis is 'halting' something. Since petrifies literally stops units permanently, they are sorta frozen in time...

On the Herald/Envoy line - I still think their attacks should get 'magical' (or maybe 'enchanted' would be best)

Add 'precision' (80% chance to hit on offence) to their ranged attack?

[Lord-Knightmare]

Here's the code I think would work...

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

[event]
        name="side turn refresh"
        first_time_only=no

        [store_unit]
            [filter]
            
 # I cannot mention side here
 # since it applies to all
 # in any multiplayer match
 
                status=petrified
                               
 # I do not see any significance of these 3 lines
 #               [filter_adjacent]
 #                   {_ADJACENT_TO_SUF}
 #               [/filter_adjacent]
            [/filter]
            variable=petrified_units
        [/store_unit]

        [foreach]
            array=petrified_units
            variable=petrified_unit
            [do]
                {CLEAR_VARIABLE petrified_unit.status.petrified}

                [unstore_unit]
                    variable=petrified_unit
                    find_vacant=no
                    male_text= _ "unpetrified"
                    female_text= _ "female^unpetrified"
                    {COLOR_HEAL}
                [/unstore_unit]
            [/do]
        [/foreach]

        {CLEAR_VARIABLE petrified_units}
    [/event]
    

Gonna try it out tomorrow.

Sounds sweet

I'll try the code for Chronostasis myself later this sunday (it's currently 1:30 am and I'm starting to falter )

Hey, everyone...

I am too lazy to write a post here today so, would you all mind if we move straight to the point?

War of Legends v1.1.9 has officially been released!

[Konrad2]

If I'm reading this correctly, some units got new/renamed images, but the image paths were not updated.

If I'm reading this correctly, some units got new/renamed images, but the image paths were not updated.

Given my semester midterms start in 72 hours and then I got more final-year thesis work to do, expect the fixes to be updated in mid-August. Unless the animations got fixed in another Aragwaith version..which I can look into.

[Lord-Knightmare]

War of Legends is on the 1.15.x Add-ons Server now!
There are some deprecations left but I shall be fixing them in due time. Till then, enjoy!

As for feedback, I'd appreciate some on faction-against-faction balancing recommendations. Suggestions for improvement are also appreciated.
