Not my best game, playing unfamiliar race. Black played a very strong game.

Gotta restart the turn. Might be coincidence, but it seems that the game keeps crashing more often than usual for about a month or so.Â
Thanks, Hiliadan. I'll try to keep it in mind for future games.
I'm going to have to restart my turn.
I'm not sure how often we were able to reproduce it but it has happened quite often with people just playing normally, see the issue 2/ described here: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... />Recently, it had happened only with host in #2 slot though. And it does look like higher chances of bug if you add the turn timer after the game is created but before the 1st turn is played.
Yes. During the first game I must have changed the timer after the game had been created, probably before Reapr joined. How often did you reproduce it?Â
Yes, it's not a 100% reproducible bug. You were still host on #1 slot and turn timer had been enabled in the starting settings (not enabled after the game is created by modifying the settings)?
First turn was played with turn timer enabled. Didn't recreate bug.
That's probably because your 1st turn was skipped blackwill, that prevented the game from being generated. And your turn was skipped probably because you enabled the turn timer from the start, which often leads to the turn of the 1st player being skipped (known and reported bug).
So yes, you can only rehost, and disable turn timer until the 1st turn is fully played.
i only have the right mod enabled, try start new game
Hiliadan: Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully we'll see more than error messages...
Reapr: Do you have any other mods and/or debug mode enabled?
Looks like I'm going to have to start another game with the same settings, if that's ok with you? I made my turn, upload failed... then I get this:
well i have two accounts, first ten slots for duels and second ten slots for team games
Marcus, dont worry about it

Mmh, it should affect them too because these melee boosts can't be removed. And the situation pre-1.24 was even more medal boosts.
Written on 2018-03-31 00:06:20
But it shouldn't effect games that were started with v1.23, right?

Not a bug (cannot be removed) but Awakened Martyrs will be removed in v1.25 so this will be solved somehow.

Painful situation? What was wrong?
Written on 2018-03-06 09:18:34
No Death March at all. I also had +3 to fire demage cosmic event. I was too tired for this pain situation. Dont want to use trics any more. Cant place my units in other order. Have no move points for this.
Written on 2018-03-05 14:58:42
It's possible Santil used Death March on some of his units, and I probably had some good spells. I didn't see the battle. Maybe Santil wants to go into detail.
Written on 2018-03-05 11:23:48
The result is quite impressive, you have almost no loss. You didn't check the replay? What spells did you have? I guess you cast some stuff that saved your units.
Written on 2018-03-05 11:22:11
Yeah, seems like you didn't received much damage at all!
I would have liked to see how his 2 good stacks (far left and north) was doing, because I think that they are very close to your army and can get out manoeuvred and isolated quite quickly.
If they were placed in the center, the outcome might have been different, maybe.

Well, what to say..I'm quite ashamed with how this match went. I overestimated my powers in tactical combat so I lost my leader twice, lost two Heroes and as well twice lost most of my army on different occasions. Sorry to blackwill about such a bad playing from my side. Hopefully I will do better next time. Thank for game.

"some free XP"
It adds up, and I think it's very possible that it leads to gaps big enough to change the outcome of a game.Â
"in some cases, we do not have tools to further balance things (for instance we can't remove XP specifically from Steal Enchantment)"
It might require a complete overhaul of the xp mechanics. This might not be feasible, but I don't know anything about coding.Â
DreadReapr might have the best solution, but I like manual combat.

20 XP for a T1 seems reasonable to me. If you used T1s to kill that T1, you would probably need more than 5-6 hits to kill it, so reducing the XP counter further would limit the XP you could get in a "normal" situation, that's why we don't decrease it further.
"The forge priest casts dispel magic on the reanimator, and he gets 4xp. And so on and so forth. (I don't know how often you can do this before the xp counter for each unit is exhausted)"
As far as I know, you get the XP from abilities only once per ability so you can't exploit it more.
I agree there still is an incentive to stall battles and there is still some free XP like Steal Enchantment but I think that does not lead to gaps that are too big to prevent a player that does not exploit every small breach to win. And in some cases, we do not have tools to further balance things (for instance we can't remove XP specifically from Steal Enchantment).
In any case, it looks like I should add you to the PM list where we discuss balance.

best balance mod for pbem is all auto combats, but nobody listen. this manual battle exploits will last forever no matter what u do.Â
the weak army start settings is really no fun to me, also if u lose some early units u end up with very slow recover which most likely will cost u the game. u cant even send extra units to spot the ai camps bcz u would need all units to battle early game.
pbem higher tier units are rarely seen, and the weak army start makes it worse.

The balance mod prevents leaders and heroes from gaining xp by using touch or spell-like abilities, and I think you decreased xp interactions between units. There is still incentive to stall battles.
Example: My leader attacks a T1 using his ranged weapon. He shoots three times (doing minimal damage) and gets 9xp. Then my hero attacks the same unit using his ranged weapon, and he gets 6xp. I think the xp counter is exhausted, so I can finally kill the T1 for 5xp. 20xp for a T1?
Another example: My forge priest casts guardian flame, and he gets 4xp. Then my reanimator casts steal enchantment on the unit guarded by flames, and he gets 4xp. The forge priest casts dispel magic on the reanimator, and he gets 4xp. And so on and so forth. (I don't know how often you can do this before the xp counter for each unit is exhausted) A tanky unit can stall the battle just moving back and forth in front of the hostile kobold taking away its action points. Maybe the kobold gets to level up before I convert it. I think the Firstborn stalling the battle gets xp just for getting hit.
I don't know if people really want to play like that but if they want to win the game there is incentive to do so.

Thanks for these first impressions. I'm a bit surprised regarding the XP farming, could you please be more specific? We mostly fix that issue in the balance mod.

It is my opinion that some games can be decided rather early, often before the opposing players interact with each other. I think there are balance issues with xp farming, overly powerful leaders/heros, and rewards from treasure sites. I don't think this makes for very good or interesting matches. DreadReapr and I had no major battles. (The biggest battle involved five units)Â
I choose starting conditions that I consider favorable and give me an advantage in an arms race. At the beginning of the game, and with the settings I use, dwarf necromancer has the most advantages and the least disadvantages. This has a snowball effect amplified by balance issues.
I'm too lazy to comment on every screenshot, but it looks like Turn 17 marks the beginning of the end for the Dread Reapers. Also, my opponent has an Undead problem throughout the game.
Yes, I am interested but you should post it directly on the report: https://www.the-battlefield.c...
Is anyone interested in a recap of how awesome I am?

Gotta restart the turn. Might be coincidence, but it seems that the game keeps crashing more often than usual for about a month or so.Â
Thanks, Hiliadan. I'll try to keep it in mind for future games.
I'm going to have to restart my turn.
I'm not sure how often we were able to reproduce it but it has happened quite often with people just playing normally, see the issue 2/ described here: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... />Recently, it had happened only with host in #2 slot though. And it does look like higher chances of bug if you add the turn timer after the game is created but before the 1st turn is played.
Yes. During the first game I must have changed the timer after the game had been created, probably before Reapr joined. How often did you reproduce it?Â
Yes, it's not a 100% reproducible bug. You were still host on #1 slot and turn timer had been enabled in the starting settings (not enabled after the game is created by modifying the settings)?
First turn was played with turn timer enabled. Didn't recreate bug.
That's probably because your 1st turn was skipped blackwill, that prevented the game from being generated. And your turn was skipped probably because you enabled the turn timer from the start, which often leads to the turn of the 1st player being skipped (known and reported bug).
So yes, you can only rehost, and disable turn timer until the 1st turn is fully played.
i only have the right mod enabled, try start new game
Hiliadan: Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully we'll see more than error messages...
Reapr: Do you have any other mods and/or debug mode enabled?
Looks like I'm going to have to start another game with the same settings, if that's ok with you? I made my turn, upload failed... then I get this:
well i have two accounts, first ten slots for duels and second ten slots for team games
Marcus, dont worry about it
Hi blackwill! Welcome for your first game hosted here!
