Zerg, zombies, orcs... People like to kill hordes of weak but determined monsters. I love orcs, but they don't fit well in low fantasy. I'd recommend Warsword Conquest or Blood in the West for those looking for family friendly orc slaughter.Michadr said:I must ask, can someone explain.

You hit it spot on... They don't fit well in low fantasy, and the Perisno setting.Hylaeus said:Zerg, zombies, orcs... People like to kill hordes of weak but determined monsters.

If we can accomplish what I have planned for 0.8, Giants will hardly be the most exciting new feature. (Don't get me wrong they have some pretty cool stuff)Sleeeves said:Not everyone.

Why have I never heard of this race it looks quite interesting.Don Leo said:Well if we're adding orcs and giants, can I have a lion race? As in, man-lions, lion men, Charr or something lionlike.

Does the Old spoiler contain suggestions that are already in, going to be added, or not being added?
Some of them look pretty cool but i haven't seen them so i hope there being added
Don Leo said:I have a problem with my archers. I put reinforcement waves to 100 so I don't get those interim windows after 3 reinforcements.
This means my archers might survive for more then 4 waves or so, making them run out of arrows. The only thing that fixes this is maybe sending them out to die as pseudo-infantry or telling them to retreat. The sending out may kill them and the retreat has a morale penalty. Sending to die also makes reinforcement archers run out unless I micro this.
I believe there's a mod (formation?) that lets archers join the infantry group once they run out of arrows. That's interesting.
Maybe having an option to let archers retreat when they run out of arrows... without the morale penalty. That would be great.
A way to replenish arrows in open field battles would be interesting. Right now, when my cavalry lose their horses, I tell them to charge and mount horses. They'll try to find a horse and try to get on it. Maybe a command to "get arrows" could let archers run around and grab whatever arrows are on the floor. Or they could move toward the inventory chest and grab arrows from that. Or give the command "resupply" and they leave the battle but come back in next wave with fresh arrows.
Or reinforcement waves could have a resupply horseman who runs around giving ammo to empty archers. Or just have that guy appear, archers get some ammo back, then the guy retreats automatically. He'd be a troop you can recruit and you need x of them per party size or 1 for every reinforcement wave. Maybe have them have charges per person. Let's say you hire 10 resupply squires. They'll resupply a total of 20 waves (2 waves each) and after that they're empty, even after the battle. They'll be recharged next time you enter a friendly town and there's a charge included. Like 50 bucks per resupply squire.
This guy could also spawn with a few horses and give new shields to troops. He'd always die when KO-ed and have massive wage costs.
Something for archers on high wave settings would be amazing :3
edit: I guess maybe if the AI had smarter formations, more troops would be killed so archers wouldn't run out of ammo so much since they'd be killed before that happens

That's why there is only one ladder in vanilla M&B sieges, it is to simulate the difficulty of attacking a castle. Of course players are smart and have figured out that by using archers and only archers, the attackers can get the advantage due to line of sight. Basically attacking archers have better line of sight (no obstructions) so they can target an enemy more often. This completely removes the HUGE advantage a defender is SUPPOSED to get. Giving infinite arrows or allowing retreat without penalty (automatic loss and need to resiege) reinforces the archers "exploit". Yeah it's not really an exploit, just an example of a human taking advantage of the system to the upmost, but it destroys the balance of the game and negates the defender advantage. Please do not consider adding anything that will make it easier on players, the mod and game are already too easy, even on hard difficulty.
I don't know if it's a part of vanilla M&B or unique to Prophecy of Pendor, but when you have more than a certain percentage of archers in your attacking army in a siege, the game switches to a "Sally out" map where the defenders rush out, are given a numerical advantage regardless of troop ratio and tactics and usually leads to an attacking loss. This is designed to counter the player "exploit" of using only archers in a siege attack. Developers, please focus on game balance to make the game more challenging to players. I already can completely destroy another lord's army with same amount of troops while taking only 2-3 casualties. This is way too easy and makes the game too easy. I can field 700+ troops that can wipe out the combined army of any faction while taking minimal losses. More is needed to bring the AI into balance with a player that knows all the tricks of the trade. AI garrisons need to be made much larger and AI armies larger. 100 troops in a castle garrison is pathetic.

RedStrat said:1) Add please opportunity to employ Red Immortal
2) Why maps of regions are necessary? (If you use them - they vanish)
3) It is possible to add the button to game - to improve all? That is I gathered is admissible 100 recruits - that 100 times not to click the button - to make 1 button and all improve at once.
4) Add please opportunity to do weapons/armour to order.
5) Add please opportunity to agree with other fractions, without using other heroes, and simply any left messengers.
6) Add please the button - to Move all troops to garrison / from garrison
7) Add please opportunity to employ troops of the Blue Forest elfs
Why Perisno's Ruins are necessary?
