It would be nice if you wrote "updated" and the date in the updated post...

Can we finally say that the developers have decided what Nightmares are:

Nightmares are unicorns that have changed over time due to the influence of Malassa. Their fur has become as dark as onyx, their muzzles are gaunt and tormented, and their clear eyes are completely black. Their horn, once a symbol of fertility, has become a vessel and physical embodiment of the nightmares that these creatures are cursed to see and feel.
The thunder of Nightmares' hooves creates waves of horror that penetrate and spread through the ranks of enemies. A Nightmare horn obtained in battle is a precious artifact. Processed and fitted with a handle or shaft, it can become a sword or spear that contains and transmits the same nightmares that the creature itself has absorbed.

- or are they the result of Ashi's work (unicorns corrupted by darkness)

Nightmares are unicorns that have changed over time due to Malassa's influence.

Apparently, the unicorns were so surprised by Malassa that their horn moved from their forehead to their nose :D

But seriously, I believe that G5 is the most canonical (unlike the failed 6 and 7), and therefore Ashan in G5 is the standard – which means that in "modern" interpretations of creatures, Ashan doesn't make sense if they deviate from the concept in G5.

Malassa!

But seriously, I believe that G5 (unlike the failed 6 and 7) is the most canonical, and therefore, the Ashan of G5 is the one that should be followed – which means that in “modern” interpretations of Ashan’s creatures, there is no point if they deviate from the concept from G5.

WOW:eek: - the first person I remember saying something like that.

There's a catch – you can't just cut down movement speeds. If we reduce movement speeds, as I've already said, archers and Sorceresses (both Sorceress units and spellcasting heroes) will clearly benefit, but it will also affect, for example, Wingard. The essence of his special ability is to move his troops forward on the action turn so that they go first, but during the battle, his special ability no longer works, and the whole point was that, having high movement speed, units could run across the entire field in one turn and attack on the very first turn, and in this case, the ability to go first was crucial. But now, with reduced movement speeds, no one will reach the other side in one turn, and going first is no longer as important as it used to be. This means that Wingard's special ability has become less effective, and therefore he has become weaker.
First: where else will the reduction of movement speeds lead?
Second: is it worth strengthening Wingard's special ability, and if so, how?

Reduce the damage of archers and impact/resurrection magic to 80%, and adjust the rest based on the situation. Instead, Wingael's special ability can be significantly boosted in percentage terms, providing substantial early-game bonuses that his army can use for positioning on the battlefield, rather than just running and attacking. In this regard, there is more potential than with a purely rush-based strategy that relies on a favorable outcome on the skill scale. Specifically, regarding the numbers, I would try the following:
- start with 5% per level (an extreme option)
- then 3%, if the first option is too high
- then 2 or 4%, depending on the previous result (if it is not satisfactory)

How can I change this? - I haven't cut down on specializations yet. I think 5 per level is too much - 3 or 4 would probably be fine (2 is too little, especially since we're losing the rush combat option).

Resurrection and raising the dead:
I would remove the effect of reducing HP after their application.

Tent:
Reducing speeds will definitely prolong the battle, so let the tent move 5 times, but reduce the effect to 70%.

Impact magic and weakening spells will be reduced by 70-80%, and the Lucky Mage perk for Warlocks should be blocked; Arcane Waves are more than enough.

Look in RPGStats. Try 3; at level 25, this will mean that creatures start with 75-100% accumulated turn (instead of 0-25%), and above 25, the hero is unlikely to level up further. It will be amusing that the turn order of Wing's creatures at high levels will be determined by randomness to a much greater extent than by initiative - because the start is very close to 100%. With morale, even a rush strategy can be achieved.

While simultaneously increasing the cost of these spells, because they are too powerful, and reducing HP was introduced by the developers to prevent spamming with these spells.

No more than 1 round. It will not be possible to reduce the effect of the tent, but its initiative can be reduced. However, what is wrong with increasing the tent's ammunition - the player has a motivation to prolong the battle with neutrals in order to restore losses.

I meant only the damage of archers, not lives. A lucky mage is 6 perks for one effect; it's hardly worth it - this is not the most popular build for a necromancer.

Reducing movement speed will also negatively affect skills that depend on the number of tiles traversed: agility, charge, and cavalier charge. When balancing the mod, you need to consider that these abilities have become slightly less valuable.
