I agree. Put those two together and you have the security to face down opposition and actually lead your country as a true monarch, rather than a figurehead or Ambassador with a nicer title. It is being done too, in some realms, but I do feel that it would be better were it a more common trend.
Finton.
One extra round over Infantry charge.
Problem is, you have to watch out for the enemy starting Front while you have your archers on Front. That means your archers are attacked in melee on Round 2. If you start your Infantry on Back, then the battle lines meet.... on the attacker's Front, right where the archers are. You get two shots, tops. That's assuming that on Round 2, your archers don't run away because there's no infantry screen. You could start your archers on Middle, but that's Range 3 to the enemy's front, meaning some of your archers may move closer to get better shots, and not shoot anyway.
Start your infantry on Rearguard, and your archers will get shredded before you can get there to defend them. Or, again, your archers back up instead of shooting. And you still don't get many shots in.
Anyway, Anaris is working up some changes to archer behavior that will change some of this stuff. Not sure when it goes live. He'll announce it when it happens. I think you'll like it.
He did admit he doesn't really know what is going on with regards to AT
I actually asked Sword that very question. Never got a real response though. The impression I got was they were from a land we have not ventured onto, though someone else in DOA did suggest that they were some horrible mutation from the sunken war islands, Human nobles cursed into their current form.
I'm not sure if I've posted here or not, but my current dream for Hyperion is to become a ruler of a realm. Doesn't have to be a new realm, might be Caerwyn, but with such a large ruler's channel and such a large continent, it would be fun to lead a realm on Dwilight more than anywhere else.
That or sell a city to another realm for 10,000 gold.Nah, probably not, but that would be an easy family wealth boost.
So how do I join with a torrented version of MC >_>
You're beginning to sound like Draco Tanos, only trying to attack my post count.
No, I'm stating a fact. You guys really don't understand just how tough low food income is on Dwilight.
Sometimes those reasons are a bit dumb. Many times it's called "thinking for the future" or something, when it couldn't be clearer the realm just doesn't have the guts to make that enemy realm's characters/players hate them for a long time. Of course it's sometimes interesting to wonder just how long term some players think. BM's been going on for what, 8 years? That's already a pretty long time, but just how long do they want their plans to take? I wouldn't place any bets on any 10 year plans because you're probably better off investing in some stocks in the hopes that the economy gets better in 10 years. Maybe 5 year plans are a bit more credible, but even then, BM would be 13 years or so. That's a pretty long time for a specialty online game.
I think people don't destroy their enemies often enough. The most recent one that got me slightly scratching my head with a big question mark popping up over it was Sirion letting Fontan go. Remember when Arcaea was down to like Akanos in the summer of 2008? Yeah...Now it's the one dominating FEI while Soliferum is dead (Good work). Falasan was allowed to continue its cursed existence as a fate worse than death more or less before they finally got wiped.
But then again, I'm also someone who, given the opportunity on a smaller continent like maybe Colonies, would seek to have my realm conquer as many regions as it can support, then wipe all other regions on the continent rogue, thus effectively declaring sole inhabitant of the island before rebellions and/or secessions occur. Just for, you know, the rights to claim that "achievement". So maybe my destruction > disarmament is biased. meh.
This is, in fact, what happens. Starving regions do not experience immigration, only emigration.
The new migration system is quite well balanced, IMHO, based on my observations of it in Terran, Barca, and D'Hara. We've actually gotten Barca's population levels up much faster than I thought would be possible.
I agree with you. There has to be some reasonble middleground, but from what I can tell, it takes too long right now.
It is probably holding back more than war. Which duke would seceede with his city while production is at 50% or less?
Which realm would feel it worthwhile to take over a region that will give them almost zero production due to the missing population that will take ages to return?
And so on.
It is realistic, but it makes battlemaster less fun than it could be.
Has anyone actually used waves, careful attack, or weakening skirmish?
Well, despite all that, Enweil did in fact survive, and still has the potential to be of considerable size and strength. The same cannot be said of Avalon (dead), Bara'Khur (Dude, they really still have Dyomoque. What's up with that?), Thalmarkin (Northern area completely gone, wedged between OG and Melhed, though at least they did survive...maybe. Unless the Undead GM's "master amazing Xanatos casino plan" did some other bad stuff to Thalmarkin)
Oh yeah, Hetland's dead too, and they even had a Light temple. Come to think of it, they're the only one of the three Light realms that died.
Still, I'm pretty sure if you guys were winning fairly easily you wouldn't have complained as much about the mortality or the invaders. It's a common thing that winning makes everything feel better.
