The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Been a while from the last forum posts, I will just do a a list (wanted to make the post short but lol explanations aint' short) of the goals and the things I'm trying to fix with the massive balance changes in the last few updates.

Spawn Killing instant win gameplay
For if you didn't know, I'm ...

While some things are way too strong like the very underpriced shroom charger , the era clearly has so much uniqueness and overall high creativity at units designs. It could probably have a bright future. Art is quite simple but it's own art which in this times is something that many modern eras are ...

You keep saying players are spamming. I don't know why you think that's happening. Evidently you have a narrow view of a particular class of players or else you are referring to some historical series in Isar's Cross with the same group of four players in every game. I don't think anyone is making ...

But it been literally pointless trying to balance let's say EFM vs EFM faction if people will do 80% of games at random faction picking all players or either with the random recruits mod or a 3rd scenario the case of hard picking a faction, they will just pick EOMA destroyers or summoners to ...

Since you mentioned WOTG in bad light I have few questions.

1. Who decides changes to do in Ageless factions? Do you have a discord channel where you discuss each unit change with other players or are you the only one who decides it?
2. Why do you think your changes makes factions better when ...

I do not think Yōkai units are necessarily underpowered, but rather that the unit design is not intended to be playable in the same context.

So, it does not make sense to compare a Lamia and a Northerner's grunt for the same cost of 12 gold as a "melee" unit. The Yōkai spriggan lore for all I ...

EOC - Quenoth Elves was removed from playable factions, and instead most of their units been moved to AE - Desert elves, making AE desert elves less incomplete at damage types and units roles alike, but you can no longer pick the "desert elves from EOC that used QUENOTH in their names" anymore ...

Yeah it's pretty curious how most elf based factions are way too generic.... like it's a re-tuned rebels scout, archer, mage, figther with very minor stats difference but exactly the same role. EVEN THE SPRITE they use for the placeholder is too based from default... so there is not that much to do ...

Ok, then we're now talking about of probably the biggest ageless update in all history.

Posting the last forum post about the balance changes that is about to come, only thing I have to mention is that tomorrow I will code the lv3 dalefol shifter units stats of all his transformations... and only doing that tomorrow.

New changes:
- ME Avians buffs, helping them as they have no mages ...

Btw I got another list of changes, but this one is more controversial because it would change the faction's meta by significantly.

In short, dwarvish tan is too strong. Like every player using this faction only spam dwarf mech as they are much easier to heal and overalll have better stats than the ...

Atokpi is actually at medium tier unit, it can easily be buffed to only -10% , and it's rare viewing players even considering the unit over just spamming more maras or infernal vortex, fire res for atokpi line is simpler and still does the work.

Crismon atokpi could easily afford lv3 fire res ...

Haven't seen the deep water terrain inconsistency. Yes might be better to makek deep water defense to 40% on deep waters and 2 MP Cost.

As for Mara , probably making them 40% at any kind of water tile instead of harbinger might be even better idea as Mara can get to lv4 while Harbinger can't ...

@IPS My thoughts on this:
on fire avatar/fire god - sounds reasonable, but what about deep water on fire god? if you are proposing nerfing shallow/swamp, then deep water should be 2mpcost too, like on lvl2

on earth avatar - I mostly agree. In fact, when I checked the 1.18 database I noticed that ...

Yo after thinking for real long time I finally found the way to help at making certain pair of Era of Magic units fairer while making the changes to not feel out place. This will also harm some few other high tier units at EOMA just by a bit in fairer ways.

This pair of units have one common issue ...
