Posts from Fallen Ranger

So, they immediately removed the "Subjugation" effect from the cyclops, and they continued to attack the elven army?! Read the manual in your free time – at least the "Magic" section...:eek:

But what is the Berserker for?

As for having brains instead of sawdust in your head – there’s probably a reason for that, right?! After all, you wrote:

And an enchanted ballista could also target someone with Berserk or Subdue.

and even claimed that there could be multiple Subdues... Well, I assume you've figured that out and realized that you can only Subdue one unit (you can, of course, Subdue another – but then the first one will be released from Subdue). Things aren't so straightforward with Berserkers either – because most Orcish units will already be engaging the Elven ranks, and the Ranger will essentially just enhance the attacking power of the enemy units (considering the scenario of mass Berserk through an enchanted barrage on sworn enemies) or it will be too late (in the case of a single target being hit).

Hey antonag07, please don't nitpick me over just one sentence. Mass enslavement doesn't happen like that, it just doesn't. Anyway, never mind. But if an Elf were playing as Warlock, it would be easy for him to cast a couple of Berserks on the Shaman and Paladins, and the Cyclops needed to be enslaved immediately, instead of wasting time on Centaurs. I think you understand that yourself, do I really need to explain everything to you?

I see that for Lordesat, any comments and answers are pointless – the person simply doesn't want to understand what they are being told. Well, if they don't want to learn the details, then there's no need. :smile16:

Secondly, regarding the new replay. I can't understand why it wasn't liked? Or has the Garuna special ability been removed already? By the way, at the end of the battle, the Cyclops attack was 94.

Even more. 43 at the start of the battle and 106 at the end.


Garuna's troops on her level 15 receive +3 to the Attack parameter for each stack killed.
3 enemy heroes, each with 7 stacks - that's 21 stacks. 21*3 = 63. 106 - 43 = 63.
Everything adds up, and we once again become convinced that Lordesat has a poor understanding of the technical details, but still tries to argue about the "reality" or "unreality" of replays. That's how things are... :smile32:

For Mdance: Comrade, what does game knowledge have to do with it? I'm saying how you SHOULD have played as Elves in the replay. I'm NOT claiming that the replay is unrealistic, so you're clearly confusing me with someone else. Just because you got lucky once doesn't mean you'll get lucky a second time. Don't say that I don't know the game. If you want to prove something to me, prove it in the game - Komodo, heronets, password 12345. Besides, mish-gan already offered to play by your rules, why did you refuse? I'm not arguing, maybe you're an Orc pro, but that doesn't mean you should brainwash everyone here.

Should I quote you? Or, sir, will you reread all the nonsense you've been spouting for the past month? :smile52:
As for the game, try hitting your head hard against a brick wall. I'm telling you it will hurt. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. Without me.

Are you trying to act like an unbeatable hero? All you can do is point out the mistakes of others and wag your finger, BATENKO. In that case, I'll say that all your posts and replays are worthless if you refuse to play with two people because of your own cowardice. You probably stole this replay from some famous Orc and are now claiming his glory for yourself. So, in the future, I will politely ignore your posts, BATENKO.

Let's get back to the topic!

Honestly, I think your "fallen ranger" tactic is too adventurous, although it has its merits. This tactic relies too much on chance, for example: whether you get a second Castle, Stronghold, or Necropolis; whether the right skills and artifacts drop. In my opinion, you can pull off an even more unrealistic, but significantly more promising, stunt: start playing as Necropolis, develop Mentorship on your Necromancer hero, and simultaneously wait for Wingheel to appear in the tavern (the chances aren't that high, but they exist). Then, develop Wingheel with: speed aura, retribution, soldier's luck, skilled light, and sharp mind (the probability of getting the necessary skills is quite high). Also, equip him with boots of speed. As a result, you'll have a real killing machine: Wingheel's ability, multiplied by a huge army of undead, allows you to wipe out the entire enemy army with the very first attack – tactic + speed aura + boots of speed = infantry and flying units are already "here" on the first turn; you can gather up to 2000 skeletons and archers in the late game, and with them, Lynchs finish off the rest. And with sharp mind, Wingheel can cast General Divine Power, General Haste, or General Smite (depending on which spell is available) before his army moves, which is terrifying to imagine!

This is all theory, but I think there's some truth to it!

I'm not saying it's a foolproof tactic; it relies on luck, but the entire game is based on luck. Regarding your idea, I think it's much more difficult to implement in practice. First, mentoring opportunities with Necropolis heroes are rare; I've only encountered them a couple of times. Second, finding Wingael himself is practically impossible; it's already a stroke of luck if you manage to find any Elf hero. The problem is that I used to think that the heroes in the tavern depended on the castle, but I was wrong. Also, even with mentoring, Wingael's level might be too low. So, it's much easier to find any Elf hero early on and find a Tome of Darkness to level him up a bit – and then go into battle. And even that depends on finding an Elf early on; by the end of the game, he's no longer useful. Okay, this is indeed a luck-based tactic. However, you can start with an Elf, find a Tome of Darkness, and it will be easier, and you might not even need Necropolis heroes – that's why I'm describing this tactic in the Sylvian thread and not somewhere in the Necropolis thread.
For Necropolis, a much more effective and predictable tactic is Necropolis + Haven + Knight. You can train a lot of Banshees, Messengers, or even Liches, depending on your preference.

Are you trying to act like an invincible hero?

Invincible? :smile52:
He'd be turning in his grave, I guarantee it.
I'll say it again – I don't play with rude and uneducated schoolkids.
Mish-gan understood the point and isn't talking anymore. Respect to him. You, sir, get no respect, because you're starting to act rude too.

All you can do is point out other people's mistakes and wave your finger, SIR. I'll say that all your posts and replays are worthless if you refuse to play with two people because of your own cowardice.

This is rudeness number one.

You probably stole this replay from some famous Orc and are now claiming his glory for yourself.

This is rudeness number two.

So in the future, I will politely ignore your posts, SIR.

You, sir, have no "heroic" future. Goodbye.

I don't like Orcs. Only their Cyclops are strong. But it's good that Centaurs run away when they are attacked.

Good tactic.

I don't think Orcs are that strong. Their Goblins run away at every opportunity. Besides, this bloodlust is annoying. If you hit them once, they immediately start attacking weakly. They don't have any decent magic.
