The Falcon "Loop Hole"
[I know this may not be a loop hole, but thats what im calling it for now]
Hello, im kinda new at this (started playing 3 weeks ago) andi found this weird thing that i dont know if any one else has. Its with the new race (Khalifate). Theyre my favorite race (even though i only played with them 3 times before) and my favorite unit out of it (for some reason i dont know) is the Falcon. So last night when i was playing a game, i thought to my self "Wouldnt it be funny if i only spawned Falcon? from the very beginning to the bitter end?".
So after the game i started to make a plan/list on how i could with out being totally killed the first couple rounds. By the end i had this:
1.) Large map (to best use there speed and spread out the enemy so i could swarm them better)
2.) Lots of water and plains (sense Falcons get 60% on almost all terain and other races get normaly 40% on plains)
3.) Keep it a suprise (Element of suprise is always best)
Im currently doing this right now with a friend (Khalifate vs Drakes). We are in deep into the game but he had to leave, so we saved what we got so far. I found out a two things i didnt plan on happening and what i learned:
1.) When a Falcon attacks, the unit it attacks doesnt get any xp (no 1xp for defending, no nothing.)
2.) They dont take away from your income AT ALL.
3.) It blows your enemies mind to see so many Falcons at once XD
Im doing very well and here is why (at least i think):
1.) When he kills a Falcon, it only gives him 4xp
***2.) He doesn't get xp from me attacking him or him attacking me.
3.) My Falcons can level up with only two kills
4.) I can get behind any of his lines and attack. Still Blocking him from the front from moving froward.
5.) I can grab villages and hold it with a group of Falcons
6.) Falcons dont count against your income, so its possible to have 50+ gold income (whish is what i have right now)
7.) Falcons cost 10g so i can spawn 5 Falcons every turn
8.) I make more Falcons than he can kill. (around 1+ "birthrate" right now)
9.) If a Falcon is going to die (like 1 hp left) , its charge attack can do 12 attack with 60% terrain most of the time. Big chuck of his life gone.
10.) Falcons are pretty good at not getting hit.
11.) Your friend will you hate you alittle for doing this to him.

Re: The Falcon "Loop Hole"
This is the wrong place for feedback on the Khalifa. Their development thread is in the factions/eras section.
"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: The Falcon "Loop Hole"
I think this is more a "I just figured out how to lvl 0 spam" kinda thread. Somehow cute.

Owch, think i just heard my feeling get crushed under 21 words of slam. Consider this feedback dead and useless. Im gonna go out and party like we Americans do. Have fun. Auf Weidersehen.
Re: The Falcon "Loop Hole"
Don't let yourself be discouraged by words that weren't meant harsh but as an advice. Velensk just wanted to point out that the better place for this to be would be the Khalifate feedback thread.
Personally, I think it could also be a candidate for the B.U.R.S.-Thread. Keep on playing Wesnoth; not everybody comes up with such nice ideas after a short time

He wasn't referring to Velensk, he was referring to HomerJ responding along the lines of "Oh, you finally figured out that little trick that all us good Wesnoth players know. It's nice to see the kids experimenting and trying out new stuff. Helps them grow up and become good Wesnoth players someday"

Re: The Falcon "Loop Hole"
Which is funny, because it clearly meant 'He's announcing a particular strategy that veteran players can easily trounce, and thinks it good, in which there is a degree of humor."Joram wrote:He wasn't referring to Velensk, he was referring to HomerJ responding along the lines of "Oh, you finally figured out that little trick that all us good Wesnoth players know.
