Re: HI Pwn3d
do you seriously think you're more intelligent at this game when it comes to balancing issues than Noy?CuddleFish wrote:HI are not overpowered (against Knalgans), most of the time they have 30% to 40% defense, which means their blocking is as horrible as the drakes, if you put that into perspective, their 30% impact resistance isnt alot, a dwarf fighter can stand toe to toe against a HI at anytime except for daytime, dwarf fighters are cheaper, have better defense %, and have a better movement type
not only can knalgans stand toe to toe against HI, they have superior mobiliy, on medium and big maps this offers the knalgans superior village grabbing and fog clearing (some of you will never understand this cus you dont know how to use footpads and gryffs)
Noy is an MP dev. He obviously knows the game and how it plays. He's also a very good player, so you might want to assume that he knows 10x more about wesnoth than you do, not the reverse.
Good day.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a lawsuit. Oh, and by the way, sending me private messages won't work. :/ If you must contact me, there's an e-mail address listed on the website in my profile.

It just came out that way accidentally. Editing.

If you boys plan on throwing mud at each other, take it to PM's. We don't need to see you embarass yourselves.

This pissess me off.CuddleFish wrote:dont try to supress me with your dev "godliness"
you were the ones who once asserted that "wesnoth is perfectly balanced"
NEVER have I ever said that its perfectly balanced, neither has any of the devs.
And any long term player will say that the developers are some of the best players
Proof?

Soliton a 31-7 record. HMM
DK 14-8
In the 1v1 tournament soliton lost in the semi Finals. DK is in the finals. Becephalaus and I play each day, as do JW and I. Who are you exactly? Do you actually think you have the skill to play at the top level? really, be honest, do you?
You know if you asked this in a nice way, like "could you tell me the reason why X was changed? I think its unbalanced." I and everybody else would treat you kindly and consider your question respectfully. Instead you come in here proceed to tell us how to do our jobs and be rude and condecending about it at the same time.

If i thought the HI is not worth 19 gold, i wouldn't recruit it.
If i thought loyalists (or using the HI) are underpowered compared to dwarves and the best players don't, then i would in the first place think they will have reasons for it.
If i see the best players play and they recruit HI against dwarves and win, then i would think "hey, i must be missing something with the HI".
There is a really easy way to solve this: Let's try. Cuddlefish plays dwarves, one of the good players loyalists. Then we will see if recruiting HI is a bad idea or not. How about that instead of pointless "i am right and you don't know what you are talking about"?

Smart persons learn out of their mistakes, wise persons learn out of others mistakes!
The problem you're having is that you simply state things without any arguments backing it up as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Maybe it is to you, however if you want to have any chance in convincing someone else you better back your statements up.CuddleFish wrote: ...anyways... i dont think the HI is worth 19 gold
