Posts from NHF – new heroes for Heroes V 3.1.

I like this idea; you could also add one more mage to the starting roster of units.

Fayden has not been changed.
Timkhan. If the target is an enemy, it moves them back in the ATB, if it's an ally, it moves them forward. Creatures nearby are also affected, which can be seen in the ability's animation.

I read that scripts cannot affect the battlefield in multiplayer, or was it featured somewhere in a campaign? :confused:

Ilmirn
All Hydras/Cave Hydras/Acid Hydras lost in battle will be instantly returned to the Dungeon cities as an increased growth rate, provided the necessary structures are built.
NHF_Ilmirn_percent = 2; --The number of Hydras grown in the castle after one is lost in battle by a hero

Hydra multiplication is evident: Hydras appear immediately after being lost, with a ratio of 2/1 (appeared/killed). This is in addition to the growth rate. The effect is a large number of Hydras.

The point of the post is that a 1/1 ratio is quite good, almost like a Necromancer.

On the Warlords map, some 4th-tier creatures (purple/gold) cannot be raised using necromancy. The hero is Kostik, paired with NCF.

If only some, then this is an NCF bug, specifically related to those creatures in the project.

Regarding Ilmirn, I would like the growth to also be tied to the hero's level.

Until all the new Alt-Greens (gremlins with area-of-effect attacks and spear throwers in golden armor) I encountered are turned into a necromantic army.

Make it as ingenious as with other hero-oriented heroes: levels 1-9 -> 1 returns; 10+ -> 2.

Kostya has already gained the ability to dress volunteers in necromantic form without extra effort (converting them on the spot). And even once, 47 dwarves voluntarily became skeletons.

How is Kostya performing?

Step 2 – Will they engage in battle or not?
The so-called "Mood Coefficient" depends on the value of the Neutral Army's Mood and the presence of the "Diplomacy" skill in the hero. This coefficient will be compared with the Strength Ratio after certain random transformations. If the neutral army is stronger than the hero's army, there will be a battle.
» Mood Coefficient = 0.5 if the Mood value is Friendly
» Mood Coefficient = 1.0 if the Mood value is Aggressive
» Mood Coefficient = 1.5 if the Mood value is Hostile
» Mood Coefficient = 2.0 if the Mood value is Wild
» If the hero has the "Diplomacy" skill, the Mood Coefficient is reduced by 0.2.
The boundaries of the intervals for joining and engaging in battle are calculated based on the Mood Coefficient, and then compared with the Strength Ratio:
Joining Threshold = (random number from 1 to 7) * Mood Coefficient
Battle Threshold = Joining Threshold + 3 * Mood Coefficient
» Interval 1: If the Strength Ratio < Joining Threshold, the neutral army engages in battle.
» Interval 2: If Joining Threshold < Strength Ratio < Battle Threshold, the neutral army joins for money.
» Interval 3: If the Strength Ratio > Battle Threshold, the neutral army joins for free.

Step 3 – Will they join or not?
The probability of joining depends on the Mood of the neutral army, but it is also influenced by some characteristics of the hero's army:
» Chance of Joining = 10% with a Friendly Mood
» Chance of Joining = 5% with an Aggressive Mood
» Chance of Joining = 0% with a Hostile Mood
» Chance of Joining = -5% with a Wild Mood

why is this?

It would be interesting to see what formula Halfas uses for attack.
