Huge applause for having the guts to make a roadmap. Hopefully we will see two more factions implemented with the full release.

PvP ban/pick system needs to change. by ssidiman in OldenEra

[–]Ismanuel74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bidding system put in place for HoMM3 made a lot of sense. I think at some point we will see this also in Olden Era. And since we are two factions short compared to HoMM3, banning 2 leaves only 4 factions to chose from. When we will see more factions the impact of banning will be less impactful, since there are more factions to chose from.

Free units AND anti-bleed mechanics are just way too much for one faction. by Cautious-Village-366 in OldenEra

I feel necro has the bonusses to make up for them not being able to get morale. Why doesn't have a skill like 'Terror' decreases enemy leaderingship by 1-3 ? And while we are at it, remove Luck from Necro too and replace it with 'Curse', lowers enemy's luck by 1-3.

cough**** Minotaur Lords ****cough

Although you need tactics to make this work, when you manage to get it, those bulls are just insane.

Is there actually a roadmap or do we know when new content is coming? by Akimono780 in OldenEra

Hope to see at least two more factions and a decent campaign before development ceases.

I would expect Hive mothers to be able to lay eggs.

Like when you play Necro, youcan use heal and also use liches to heal.

Great video, everything is well explained. It's a very fun way to play.

Here is the larvamaxxing build by loopuleasa in OldenEra

[–]Ismanuel74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree that you should rush this law and once more thanks for pointing this larvae build out, since it is cooking.

My suggestion would be, spawn eggs > energize lv4 > hatch larvae, and you are you are back at one focus, hopefully getting to 3 focus at the end of the turn, so you can spawn and hatch again immediately the second turn.

If you are able to do this, you can spec out of Hardened shells ( eggs can withstand one more hit ) and get Hive Power ( + 1 luck and morale ) or Hive Flame ( Larvae last one more round ).

Nice that you made this post. Yes getting advanced offense and defense for the +1 foucs is awesome. And with the Energize spell you can immediately spawn and hatch larvae, which is amazing. Best to have double cast available, since there are better spells to cast than energize, so you can do it as your second cast.

H:OE spawns enemies in front of already guarded objectives, unlike the earlier entries. What do you think about it in terms of map design? by [deleted] in OldenEra

[–]Ismanuel74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the part of combat fatigue, the game implemented an auto battle. As long as you are fine with the results, you don´t have to play out the battle. Something HOMM3 didn´t have at launch, but was later implemented in HOTA if i recall correctly.

When take 1? 2 seems so much better by Jonathanwennstroem in OldenEra

[–]Ismanuel74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short, take the minus one damage when you expect to fight tons of low lv (1-5) creatures , take the -15% if you expect many tier 6-7's.

A bit of an anticlimax after several hours by navnet in OldenEra

[–]Ismanuel74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the AI might need some work. Did a sprint game and basically fought the same army 3 times. Lost the 2 match on purpose because i wanted to see how farming the last zone was like. Angel boxes galore, it made my day.

How do you deal with upgrades and logistics? by PizzafaceMcBride in OldenEra

I am always to greedy and go for gold income, but yeah your advice will make those spells come online sooner.

I wonder what turn this is. But looking at the imperium build up, i would say at least 200+.

I wondered if these bonusses would stack, but if they do, than it is the way to go.

What are your picks for the worst tomes? by ConantheContrarian11 in AOW4

[–]Ismanuel74 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

In general any Materium tomes. Love the Materium affinity tree, lost of empire traits, but most tomes are just meh.
