Yes, though you do see them on the same side in HttT (I think).xbriannova wrote:Hey I think you're right about the thunderer, except that once you throw a group of melee units in, he'd be in trouble.
Elves and Dwarves make a great team. Too bad they're always at war in Wesnoth huh?

Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
Really? I've never finished HttT. I think I might play it again to finish it, not just because I wanna see Dwarves and Elves on the same side.

Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
HttT is too easy, which is why I can only ever play through it recruiting only shamans. Even still, I get too bored before I get too far into it.xbriannova wrote:Really? I've never finished HttT.

The campaigns need better story/dialog.

Heh . Thanks for the warning. I remembered the last time I played it, I recruited dozens upon dozens of troops... Doesn't really make for a very good gameplay.

Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
Wow. That is the last time I come to your defense and try to save your thread from more of the same negative responses to your idea...Let me add to that analogy of yours: The monkey eventually grows a bigger brain and stops throwing coconuts.
I don't know what you mean but I've stopped a long time ago. Read my posts carefully. I've specifically stated that I've stopped making an algebraic solution a long time ago and I'm happily balancing my faction the way you guys recommended. I know you're not against me when you said this but you don't seem to understand where the thread is going now... Nothing personal here, just trying to steer the thread in the right direction and I don't want an argument to start because of me.
Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
Gambit: you misunderstand. What he is saying is that he already figured out that it wasn't going to work before you posted. If you had read closer you would have realized this.
"There are two kinds of old men in the world. The kind who didn't go to war and who say that they should have lived fast died young and left a handsome corpse and the old men who did go to war and who say that there is no such thing as a handsome corpse."
Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
Yes but it looked to me like the whole "you can't balance units mathmatically" conversation was about to boil up all over again.

Re: Algebraic solution towards unit and faction balancing?
Yeah what Velensk said. I guess we can all blame the internet for being such a cold emotional void, where people can't tell what others are feeling or expressing really clearly.
I really appreciate you coming to my defense really, but I was saying that you were misguided as everything's already over and really, there's no sign of anything flaring up. Please don't make me your enemy .

Let's every body chill, please.
I think, since this thread has reached a satisfactory conclusion, that its remaining open is fostering only disharmony. Locked.
