Re: [Discussion] Tactician/Flank

I just dont want Yak to swing the nerf hammer too hard... In earlier versions, Fenny's lunge was quite strong... it got nerfed, today people say "if you wanna be useless and feed, play fenny"... and since I dont want that to happen to Tact, I try to counter any of his arguments, to give Ya...

Re: [Discussion] Tactician/Flank

the tactician's natural strength equate to an easy victory vs most, 1on1.[...] Most heroes can't live 6 seconds with tact + full huntress focus fire. I wonder how you kill Emberwraith, Gravel, Bane or Scarab in 6 seconds... And for dispelling, when the Staff isnt enough (EDIT: AoE wise, the damage ...

Re: AA and AM...

I've experienced Meteor Swarm not to stun heroes, but I may be wrong. Familiar gets Entangle already at level 4, level 5 is some weak Feedback. When a hero is entangled (or disabled by other means), you can also use Meteor Swarm for killing him with great efficiency. And no, you cannot heal a latega...

[Discussion] Tactician/Flank

Well, I've experienced Tactician to be game-deciding lately. Whenever I play Tact, I go for the corner obs, take them out with 2 high level Flanks (guards inclusive), maybe send some units there with Order Attack and build an Ob. Suddenly we've got like +2 and enemy has to get out of used patterns t...

Re: Upgrades, the possibilities?

My idea just WOULDNT let people go for certain upgrades or single units since it goes for the whole branch... -.- Apart from that it limits the influence of pubbies. If they find ups at all, the impact is lower, and sometimes they even chose the "right" branch...

I THINK (correct me if I'm wrong) upgrades were partially taken out for balance reasons... now you come up with even more variety and tons of combined systems... *ouch* no good... Somewhere, randomizing the upgrades was suggested... you can for example set the branch where to research (Melee, Ranged...

<FIXED> Promoted Sorceresses

Not really a bug, but... When promoted sorceresses are not controlled by red/blue, but by a color not used or a leaver, they dont use their spells, making them nearly useless. Could you change it that they are always controlled by red/blue? I know there is a unit limit for red/blue, but... cannot yo...

Re: EotA--false appearance of depth...

Well, there are LARGE tip boxes throughout the whole game, telling you what to do... and even if you are in battle from time to time, you aren't constantly under tons of adrenaline that let you miss the text, so there is some time left to read the tips... they dont... guess why?

Re: How to Help Starters!

Why would they ever enter -help? They dont want to learn, they want to feel like they are the greatest already. So we need to force them. And since a cinematic doesnt help (see Exo), they've got to DO it by themselves... So I say there is a tutorial mode one player can activate (no vote, the beginne...
