Re: Split from [is AI cheating?]

Well, considering that each combat would use 6-8 results in average (3 or 4 attacks of each opponent), I would say that pretty regularly the RNG delivers a quite huge almost perfect sequence of numbers above 50% (and sometimes even 60% and 70%). I really don't know how random is that, since I didn't...

Re: Split from [is AI cheating?]

In some campaigns enemy leaders have a better dodge chance when it isn't part of the win condition to kill them. For example I had once a game where i couldn't hit the enemy leader more than once with a red mage, desipte save/loading about 20 times. It is sometimes coded in to prevent the player fr...

Re: Split from [is AI cheating?]

Hi MagnetoRN, the four cases in wich you have three misses and a hit are HMMM, MHMM, MMHM, MMMH. The probability of each of those is 0.2^3 * 0.8, so the total probability of 1 hit out of 4 is four times that. I'm not sure exactly what the deterministic mode does, but I get from that the description...

The percentage is not meant to be the same for all attacks? Because if it's not, it is absolutely pointless.

Re: Split from [is AI cheating?]

Even hit only once and missing the other three is 1 chance in 125 actually I think it's about 1 in ~39. One think I'm not sure about is if RNG on save-loads are fully independent, or are they somehow pre-determined based on game variables? I know there is this 'deterministic mode' in 1.13 which sho...

Re: Split from [is AI cheating?]

"favourable RNG" Yep, that's exactly the concept of cheating. Anyway, I never said that I want the game easier. I alerady win with more than 10 turns advantage and rarely losing even 1 rookie unit per mission. It doesn't have to do with that, but with the game showing false percentage num...

Re: Recruitment

I once tested a unit for my self, who could recruit units by right click (similar to the Era of Magic addon). Even though he had low hp, only a 5-1 attack and the Ai couldn't use his ability the computer always spammed this unit because of its low costs. Even human players might use it just his its...

Re: Recruitment

Just to throw out your illusions: being able to recruit without having your leader at the castle will affect the balance. As you wanted, it allows your leader to fight (or use other abilities like healing/leadership) much farther away from the castle – but the effect of that will vary by faction an...

Re: Recruitment

It should work on the tablet but you need to intsall The Balance Mod as well as The Balance Mod Campaign to make it work for campaigns. Tell me what you think when you have played it. I have made it so that the ai in campaigns doesn't recruit this unit at all for now. Man, I've played some missions...

Re: Recruitment

I like your idea! What i was thinking is that you could buy as many recruiters as you want (so that when you take other castles with your hero you could buy more recruiters there). The only problem with the mod is that the ai get carried away and buy three or four recruiters (in multiplayer) and th...

Re: Recruitment

Hi, i have pretty much finished the mod now!!! I was just wondering how much (about) you think the recruiter should cost? (what about his hitpoints?) Awesome! Since the point is to get your hero on the field as fast as possible, and the Recruiter must be almost useless in battle, it shouldn't be co...

Re: Recruitment

I really like this idea! It appears to solve all the difficulties! Great! Would it still be a problem when the Recruiter is killed? Maybe it is possible to set this particular unit to just dissapear when it reaches 0 hp (I don't know how the program recognizes a death and if that can be circumvente...
