Re: The Golden Age
Somehow late ... but I'm here in the lapse of a week I've said you in MP!
Not every faction is included this time, but well, it's not few at all.
Edit:
Darn, I've noticed recently that text has issues with descriptions or so, but oh well... still that doesn't matter because it doesn't influenciate the intended sugestions at all, just a little to the coment ... Flaw only in Outlaw revision.

Re: The Golden Age
great ideas sadly i can't implement them right now, because i am on a different computer than the one before, at least i'll put some of my opinions about your ideas:
i think something like 'defensive spin' or 'spinning counterattack'Exterminator
- Rename Chaos into something refered to area atack something like (Something like Round atack)
i think we could also give him something like 18-1 lesser marksman,backstab ranged, and have the cost at 36?Forester
Overpriced unit, it's not 40g tier unit. Price 40g -> 34g
well, i am somewhat unsure about ranged nerfs, but i agree on making them more fragile. slightly off topic: there might also be an idea to give them a fire arrow optional advancementHorse Archer
Sincerely I don't like default balance in Calvarymen line, but this unit sadly needs to be in the same standards of Dragoon :/
- Bow damage 8-3 -> 5-4 ... To make them a little more diferent to Longbowmen.
- Health 54 -> 46
- Bolas 7-2 -> 5-2 and atack only.
Coment: Extended units from default needs default standards, even if I don't like that at all :/
Archer Knight
- Longbow 9-4 -> 7-4
- Bolas 8-3 -> 6-3 (freed of atack only at this level)
- Health 68 -> 61
well, at least i did a subtle change by making it 7-3 in the unreleased versionJouster
- 8-3 -> 6-3 (charge) NOTE: 15-3 at day time if not strong!
Coment: extra movement, and being capable to last hit a target with 15 hp if not strong or 18 if strong ... is really STRONG.

Re: The Golden Age
Don't even try ... 36-1 with at least 50% hit? You can take away a Lv3 unit with only 2 of them with a 25% chance!i think something like 'defensive spin' or 'spinning counterattack'Exterminator
- Rename Chaos into something refered to area atack something like (Something like Round atack)

I find fine that unit as how I suggested, also you can try adding him a 5-3 ranged backstab + lesser marskman, 10-3 blade looks interesting.
You need to, look that Lv2 comparation ... Dragoon is only 6-4 mele and 12-1 ranged which is notably inferior than even the version I gift you of horse archer! Also 8-3 mele is superior than 20-1 ranged. It's probable that 7-4 on ranged is exagerated, you can try 8-4 instead.well, i am somewhat unsure about ranged nerfs, but i agree on making them more fragile. slightly off topic: there might also be an idea to give them a fire arrow optional advancementHorse Archer

Belive me, 6-3 charge is more balanced than 7-3. Dealing up to 15 damage (18 if strong) in one strike without taking any retaliation damage and having 3 tries instead of 2 as horsemen. It's a lot safer than Horsemen line if you play them right!well, at least i did a subtle change by making it 7-3 in the unreleased versionJouster

Also, I'm counting with the optimal of +25% day time (just multiplicate x1.25)

Re: The Golden Age
about forester: well, 5-3 lesser marksmanbacksatb sounds great
about horse archer, i think i could rather buff the TGA Dragoon branch instead (that's the huge plus of having [base_unit]s)
about jouster: why not just make it more expensive? like 26 or 27?

Re: The Golden Age
mmmm.... twice the movement of a spearman, twice the damage of spearman (when charging), almost twice the price? mmm... don't know, but then you would be making a Lv1 unit with price of lv2 o:
I personally preffer the 25g but 6-3 pierce charge version. But you're the era author

Re: The Golden Age
well, the charge units have a lvl2-like damage (even a tiny bit stronger, but riskier) so it should be fineIPS wrote:mmmm.... twice the movement of a spearman, twice the damage of spearman (when charging), almost twice the price? mmm... don't know, but then you would be making a Lv1 unit with price of lv2 o:

Re: The Golden Age
Hi ForestDragon, just a few thoughts on balancing the Golden Age:
Also Elvish Gryphon Knight is soooo cool!!
And also honorable mention the master javileneer is very professional looking! The ancient orge also looks really cool but its spear is a little bent oddly. And the naga assassin is nice! And the khalifate hurasch is good and unique also. (also it would be cool if the tabib advanced)
-The Elder Athvari and advancements of it seem a little too powerful (compared to the silver mage) they have powerful magic range,teleport and also considerable melee
-The Maji (khalifaate unit lvl 2) is also a bit overweighted with teleport and 9-4 magic melee (equal to the lvl 3 silver mage)
-The Fire Warrior costs way more then the Fire Warden, for recruiting this makes since, because it is quite a bit more powerful, but i think the fact the warden can advance and costs less means that i would always go for the warrior. Maybe balance the costs to attacks a little better.
-Highwaymans upgrades to a guy hitting 12-4 or 12-5????
-Merman warrior king only hits 9-5 i don't think thats as good as the elvish champions 9-5 9-3bow but no leadership...
-Minatour is a bit powerful also with regenerates +12 and 18-3 with clave power... but he is a stand alone unit so
-Merman Buccaneer is a bit weak, i think he needs some ability to fix his lack of power
-Elvish High Lord a bit to powerful, don't know if you've already changed it from the base unit or not but 7-5 magical ranged & a strong 10-4 melee is a bit overweighted
-Also the loyalist forester, wouldn't he advance from the poacher? (then again maybe he's like a loyal poacher) Also he seems a bit to strong, compared to the elvish ranger and other archers
-For the golden mage maybe instead you should make the silver mage advance to alderisvet's silver arch mage (can be found in the 5 lords reign era)
-The elvish vanquisher is a bit better then the elvish champion because of his skirmish, and powerful ranged
Btw i love your boar line (especially the thunderboar!!), and the new northern faction is going to be awesome! Did you draw the sprites? -The Maji (khalifaate unit lvl 2) is also a bit overweighted with teleport and 9-4 magic melee (equal to the lvl 3 silver mage)

Re: The Golden Age
Khalifate Maji is liminal aligment, which means he's 75% offensive 4/6 of the time, meaning he's commonly a 7-4 ranged magical and 3-10. Liminal aligment is precisely made to make a kind of nerf to certain units with cool extras that isn't just higher damage. On his case, teleport sand storm atack, but he's offensively less effective than red mages at 4/6 of the game!.
Also looking at his health, it's a bit too much, I would sugest to make hp from 43 to 35 (mostly, to rebalance him as a leader option). He has 20% pierce/blade reistance alike (make them only 10%), but maybe considering his newer lower health you can fix that -10% impact res to 0%.
Zarif balance sugestion: make him 5 MP only, 6 MP is exagerated, apart he's skirmisher at the cost of liminal. That extra movement makes him underpriced. After movement nerf make him 16g too (instead of 15g)
Also about that silver mage sugestion, I would need to see gold mages from this era and that other silver mage to have a decent idea of what we're talking about. Maybe we can spread them into 2 different advanements for silver mage
Soon in a week, I will do a revision to Khalifate.

Re: The Golden Age
Hi ForestDragon. If I am not mistaken, at first transport ability of goblin transport said it spawned 3 goblins. As soon as I advanced one to goblin caravan, it said it's 6 goblins. Is that a bug? And the dismounting button is ridiculous. A transport costs 33, a goblin costs 9. If I dismount, the upkeep doesn't change. But the 4 new units are 3 goblins and a wolf. Their cost is 27 + cost of wolf, which is for sure more than 6. Thus buying a transport and dismounting is cheating for sure.

the name is the same, but the abilities do actually have a different goblin count. i guess i could remove the dismount featureDurin_the_great wrote:Hi ForestDragon.

Re: The Golden Age
I would suggest making the names different, because after I advance one transport, everybody's ability becomes twice more powerful.
Re: The Golden Age
I would suggest to just explain that in the ability description. Like with the leadership ability.
Try out the dark board theme.
