The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Is it odd that there is no forest terrain defense penalty for the rider line, unlike the loyalist/"human" horsemen? They are supposed to be human, and there's no reason to think they'd be better with forests than the other human horsemen. Basically change 40%->30%. EDIT: Also, for similar reasons o...

I suggest not worrying about single player balance too much. I don’t think it’s generally that precise to begin with and there is plenty of ways to fix any issues that should arise besides tweaking unit stats. We definitely don’t want separate sp and mp stats. I currently think that the best way of...

Hi. Changes: Burner Ranged damage increased from 6 to 7. Melee damage decreased from 7 to 6. No dunefolk unit is great at killing trolls when thier number is high, now they can kill troll from 2 hexes. They also had a bit of a hard time pushing against undead and while manageable they struggle with ...

Curio: After change I would lower proposed by me cost of Steelclad from 40 to 37.

Can't I just use #ifdef MULTIPLAYER? It will overwrite cost of unit this way keeping original cost in SP.

Dwarvish Steelclad/Lord is more likely than not to beat every single other default level 2 or level 3 in the game on flat, in neutral time of day. I don't think that's normal by any means. It has no weaknesses. There is at least one lvl 2 unit that can beat Steelclad almost every time. But it's an ...

Krogen: I don't think that one change could affect campaigns much, however I can't neglect that many / big changes can have snowball effect. ghype: I don't think there is anything to worry about in that case. Balance of campaigns is in my opinion one of the most limiting factors when it comes to bal...

Sky Drake - I will check this unit again, I might have missed something. Goblins - I was thinking about 10 it actually might be better price. Main thing that is keeping goblins down is there negative trait although in this case you have 33% chance on not getting one (because increasing xp needed to ...

So I have been working on this project for a little while and I think it's time to show results. To avoid interference with other eras all proposed changes are only touching gold cost of units. So let's begin. Drakes: Cost of Drake Warrior changed from 30 to 28 Cost of Drake Arbiter changed from 31 ...

Great era. :) Lots of good ideas for abilities and interesting faction concepts. About balance, for me it's no longer as important for UMC as it once was, I have mainline factions if I want something balanced. Reaching good enough balance for most units can take a lot more work for UMC creators than...

after hearing all of this, the points you are making regarding the sprites and the look of the units are rather subjective. The Rover lv ups wear something as armour, but that ain't iron or any other metal. As far as I know It could be either leather or bones/scales. They even could be roc feathers...

Still for me Rover line is obviously too heavy armored and armed to be real scouts. An escort for caravans - that is ok. But not rangers and explorers. Just look on human and elvish rangers, how they look like. A ranger wearing a helm and a chainmail (or whatever armor he has), really? You have a p...

I will comment on Rover and Skirmisher line only. In any case units of this line have nothing with scouting, exploring or hunting looking at sprites and unit's parameters. 5MP are clearly not enough to call them scouts in descriptions. And a new Skirmisher line after that can easily take these scout...

Yeah I meant Orcish Archer.

Actually I really feel weird about wolves having such low defense and high movement cost in mushroom grove. It really looks like movement type of wolves was taken from goblin rider rather than the other way around.

Royal guard if not in village will be poisoned and dammaged from assasin, then Assasin runs away and he dies slowly zoced by Dwarven Sentinels that can also hit him with ranged and get no retail or/and killed by Dragonguards (no resistances against pierce). I don't think that's fair. Dwarf player h...
