Posts from TBM - Tournaments balance mod

We wanted to make a minimum number of changes so that they could be reviewed quickly and it would be easy to understand what they are and how they affect gameplay.

The list of changes is already huge, and I don't think it will stop there. I especially like the "very important" changes that radically change the gameplay.
Quote:
- Cerberuses: defense 3 (+1)
- Plate Mail: health 28 (+2)
- Zealots: health 24 (-2)

If the emphasis is on a minimum of changes, then leave 1-2 of the most necessary ones and start playing; you don't even need to learn anything.

Develop a general concept, think through the principles, describe all the ideas in a way that even a dull schoolchild can understand. Look at how Nargott did it in the WGE thread. What's so difficult about it?
Nothing is ever that simple – you'll have to mess around a bit first :)

P.S. By the way, about the crap. Just because you're making a mod and think it will be good as is doesn't mean that anyone will actually play it.

A separate stream was held on Remix's channel, where EVERY change was explained. Now, under that video, there is a list with timestamps, as requested by people in the comments. I don't see the point in endlessly clicking the keyboard when anyone can make a couple of clicks and listen to everything in our technological 21st century.
Moving on?
There are already people playing it, and a large number of people who would like to play it in test show matches and in the tournament itself. The fact that there are almost no Tier 1 players among them (with the exception of Kirill) is actually a plus.

JonnyP, Someone_Unknown, as a warning. Any further insults will be punished. Direct, indirect, veiled to the point of absurdity, it doesn't matter.
And a request to you: please delete all such content from your posts on this and the previous two pages. Otherwise, I will use my right to delete messages containing insults entirely. This is not a malicious moderator threat; I simply don't want to meticulously clean everything up from a large number of messages at once, please understand...

Are you an idiot?

the sheriff isn't concerned about the problems of the Native Americans.

I apologize, but why do you suddenly consider yourselves "sheriffs"? You are promoting your product, and the users of this forum are currently your customers. It is in your best interest to adapt to our style of information perception, regardless of how right or wrong it may be. Because commenting on or criticizing it is not your business. You should start by briefly summarizing everything said in the multi-hour broadcast and posting it here in text form so that everyone who wants to can evaluate and express their opinion about it.
If you don't want to spend time on this, then I don't see the need for this topic to be on this resource. If a seller doesn't want to spend time on a particular group of potential customers, they will also ignore his product.

In other words, this single point eliminates a vast number of dinosaurs and conservatives.

However, as you can see, there are many such users on this forum. There is interest in your project among them, but the inability to perform complex, unusual actions for this purpose is the main reason for dissatisfaction.
Regarding a detailed description, you may have noticed that even in many modern games, they often use text notes (or at least add them along with video recordings), despite the fact that their audience is often much more technologically advanced. This is simply because not everyone finds it convenient to perceive a large amount of information by ear, for various reasons. Some people don't like the voice, some don't have time, the third is too lazy to go to YouTube, the fourth has video traffic disabled at work - the essence remains the same.
Changing or adding something for this large group of people is, of course, up to you, but again, in this way, you are more likely not "filtering out" the audience, but "cutting off" a piece of your own project's customer base. However, the seller decides for himself who to target his product at. But then you shouldn't be surprised by pointless debates and insults when you stop in a "black area" with a sign that says "entrance only for whites".

I just don't understand why Discord is mandatory. What if a person is already streaming? Isn't that suitable? And what's wrong with ICQ? People use it. It's just an old messenger. And by the way, I don't quite understand why a person is obliged to show their artifacts and progress on the first request. If, for example, he doesn't have time to play, it will be very inconvenient for him. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. There's just a lot of communication here. I'll get a faster answer. )))

In my opinion, this is one of those changes where everything is crystal clear – it needs to be reduced, and significantly! I don't understand why the developers decided to do it this way – it's nonsense (of course, this is just my opinion).

Let's calculate.

First, the number of Imps in the game is 16. In the second week, another 16 Imps are added. Let's assume the Castle is built in the 2nd week – from the 3rd week, there will be 32 Imps. The first battles start after level 10; the larger the map, the higher this level. Let's assume it's level 15 on average. Then, without considering buildings that increase the amount of knowledge gained by heroes: Knight, Dark Elf, and Necromancer (the weakest in terms of mana) will have 3 units of knowledge each. Usually, by this level, heroes have several artifacts, primarily to address their weaknesses. Moreover, 1-2 knowledge points can be obtained from an artifact at the start. Plus, 1-2 knowledge points can be gained from buildings during this time. In total, at level 15, these Factions will have approximately 50 to 80 mana.
Level 15 requires 34140 experience points. Let's assume we get a minimum of 3000 experience points per week (usually, we're already running around at level 2-3 by the end of the 1st week, and then we fight more numerous and stronger neutrals).

Then, we need 34140/3000 = 11 weeks to reach level 15 (or 9 weeks of full growth and 2 with normal growth). By this time, if we don't spend them (the Imps), we will have 16+16+32*9 = 320 Imps. Let's assume that 25% of the Imps are lost (usually in early battles), which is 80 Imps. Then, by level 15, we will have 240 Imps. This means they will drain 240/8 = 30 mana from the opponent. This means that the average heroes of Factions that are weak in mana will have from 20 to 50 mana after this.

That's pretty good! :D

I agree with Magistar. Considering that by the 4th week, there can't logically be more than 190 of them (if, of course, you don't hire Inferno heroes every week), and that's even without losses. That is, they drain 24 mana or 12 and give 12 (Necromancer - 80 mana, Warlock - 60 mana, Mage - 100 mana, Dwarf - 70 mana, I might be very wrong with the numbers). And they are also very popular targets.

It could grant all skeletons protection against arrows. This would increase their role in the endgame, as they would be harder to defeat. And if you also increase their attack by 2-3, they would be quite effective at breaking through defenses.
