Weak lvl 5

Post by beshead0 »

After playing httt and looking at the wml for the other level 5 unit (fire dragon), I have noticed that Delfador is very underpowered. I understand that his lightning is supposed to be powerful at 14-4, but lvl4 great Mage has 16-4 and more health, and ancient lich at 13-5 and even more hp. There is probably a reason for him being underpowered, but why make him level 5? Someone please tell me?

The only reason I can think of is to nerf him even more. This way your enemies get more xp from fighting him.
Sorta on a break from the forums ATM, have been for a while. If I was doing something for/with you and I haven't recently, that's why, I will be back soon hopefully.

He's lvl5 simply for flavour, to signify his experience. He's likely one of the most experienced and powerful human mages in Wesnoth's history, but he's old enough to not be in his prime anymore. Hence lvl5 but lower stats than you'd usually expect from a lvl5.
