Re: base concept for a hero

Eh. I could see him potentially being overpowered or underpowered, depending on the situation. For instance, if the Undead are around, there's some blight, but all of it is around their bases. Otherwise, there is no blight whatsoever. Also, given the number of tiles in EotA, it would be somewhat dif...

Re: Clarity and Salves

IF the HoT wasn't dispelled by taking damage, you have a 40 gold, slightly-more-foresight-required uber potion. I guess I'm kinda curious why I wouldn't be running them all the time, assuming I can kill 2 melee mobs in the time it takes for the HoT to wear off. The problem with running them all the ...

Re: Clarity and Salves

It's not too terribly hard to not get hit by creeps. If you do, it's what, 40g that was spent in a learning experience. Annoying, yes, but again, just play a little more cautiously while effected by the HoT.

Re: -s problems

-s is wrong in other places as well. I'll see if I can find them, and if it's only displaying the modifier rather than the full value.

-s problems

Has anyone noticed problems with the way -s is working? I'll explain what I mean. When Mastery of Flame is level 1, Neph's Blastwave says it deals 32 + 0.6*Int damage. Given that his initial int is 15, it should be 32 + 0.6(15), or 32. And yet, when you use -s, it reports the damage of Blastwave as ...

Re: Marriage and... moderators, apparently

By that token, unmarried couples with children should get the same breaks. Again, I don't see why marriage should factor into it at all. I can agree with that.

Re: Game of the year potential!

Damn, I don't see as to how any game could compete with that.

But it CAN be improved: Involve some physics, like when a forklift with a load on it stops moving, when it was moving with the load in front of it.

Almost perfect, but not quite.

Re: More hero models

Issue with making a hero out of half of those models is that they don't have enough animations. You'd probably want a bash, cast, move, attack maybe another cast or special, an actual death anim. . .

Most of those are unit models, which don't have the Hero fade-and-rise thing.

Re: Naxztek the Dimensional Stalker

I like quite a bit. Sounds very nasty when paired with someone who can slow. I am a little confused about the innate, though, same as Alien. Is it that they lose that % move speed and atk dmg every so often, and he gains it, or is it that he gains it based on the number of units in the AoE, or what?

I think maybe he was confused on what the 12-16 seconds applied to. He probably thought only to the buff, and not to the debuff, though it seemed to me that they were linked from the start. Correct.

Should have added more to this. Basically, its a one deal, uber heavy hit. The slow effect lingers for 3-6 seconds prolly. The DOT is....self-explanatory. I'm not asking about the DoT.

Okay. . . Innate: Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Deathblow reduce attack damage of nearby units by 50%? Doubling that makes them useless for awhile. I'm also going to go ahead and look at AP here, as the Orcs only have 1 other hero to compare it to. Doubling things like Devouring Plague, Abber...

He's pretty good as is. Solo, maybe not, although he can romp low- and middle-HP heroes with Ion Surge. Use that, Polarize, Streak in, then start smacking them for 2-300 damage a hit, given a single stat item (Orb of Skill). At least make enemy hero back off, if not killing them As for working with ...

Just a thought here, but I know that the random chance thing in a couple areas is borked -- Bane's Dragonfear, for instance.
