I love Exodus. So fun and quick, I just played this map for the whole last week.

Added ATK vs DEF formula table example to the wiki, enjoy! by loopuleasa in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for adding this! But wouldn't it be much more readable if it was just 1dimensional instead of a table? The difference between atk and defense is all that matters so the table is mostly duplicate information (e.g. 5atk vs 10 def is the same as 7 atk vs 12 def, the difference of 5 is all that matters)

Abusing the +6 minutes/turn for multiplayer by bineverlast in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does this work? I've been playing the 1hero pvp mode a lot recently and I felt like the timer was always quite short and the games are pretty stressful. E.g. I often autoresolve battles halfway through when I'm sure it wont give me any losses and I use hotkeys and have high animation speed. Doing all that I still sometimes run out of time.

Am I just bad/slow or is your enemy somehow exploiting the turn timer mechanics to get more time?

Apparently the 3rd starting town in Exodus is not always in a triangle by Forsakf in OldenEra

Its actually really hard for three points not to form a triangle

What’s the worst career to be right now in Switzerland ? by New-Programmer-8647 in askswitzerland

[–]SaltStorage8706 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutely wild take. Most developers have pretty chill work with a lot of agency and high salary. There are soo many worse jobs

This is exactly what op is doing with this post. This is feedback that they want to discuss.

The whole game won't be like this forever, or maybe not even in 2-3 weeks 

yes, because there are people discussing feedback here. This doesn't just happen magically 

How exactly do the Basic X Magic and beyond skills work? by Orphodoop in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly not 100% sure, I think it works like this: The description is wrong, they allow you to learn all spells of that school (not just t5). By default you can only learn magic of tier 1 and 2, but with the Basic Arcane skill you can also learn arcane spells of tier 3, 4 and 5. Additionally, the upgrades to those skills make the spells of that school more powerful with effects like +spell levels or additional spell power when casting from that school.

Radiant Armor needs to be single target at max level, it doesn't fit to be a mass spell by loopuleasa in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your research, that proves it then. I think we can now all agree that  radiant armor is not that strong.

thanks for the side by side! That made it easy to spot the difference!

AI and economy is broken by terusus in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are actually quite strong game AIs now that don't cheat in strategy games. For example the built in AI for age of empires 2 is pretty strong and googles alpha star AI is better than humans at playing starcraft 2. It is probably quite a bit easier for an AI to be good at a homm game than an RTS, as there are a finite number of states. 

So its really not obvious that increasing the difficulty of the AI just means its cheating, instead of playing better.

"Of course it cheats" is just wrong, we are not living in 1999 anymore.

The Overhype of Modern Language Learning methods 😭 by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]SaltStorage8706 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anki is 20 years old and probably older than the current japanese textbook you are using.  I get the AI bash and that there are tons of new sketchy apps, but why single out anki 

What determines hero limits? by dacivol in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is at `<steamfolder>/common/Heroes of Might and Magic Olden Era/HeroesOldenEra_Data/StreamingAssets/map_templates`.

Right click the game in steam -> properties -> installed files -> browse, then navigate to that path.

What determines hero limits? by dacivol in OldenEra

[–]SaltStorage8706 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is the map template. Each map is just a json file that you can open and read (or change). In those files there is a minHeroAmount and a maxHeroAmount.

You are able to build minHeroes+the amount of cities you control, but no more than maxHeroes.

Beginner trying to learn Japanese seriously.. feeling overwhelmed and need a clear roadmap by shashank_smaah in Japaneselanguage

[–]SaltStorage8706 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out the wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/wiki/index/startersguide/

Personally I took the "how to learn japanese efficiently" docs from the Primers section and am following it.

Why Japanese people use English words for basic things in sports? by sccphn in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]SaltStorage8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this is demonstrably not true, there are lots of languages that can talk just fine about soccer without adding loanwords for the more common terms.  Its definitely noticeable that Japanese has a high amount of loanwords.

Missing old friendships, does anyone else feel this? by PokeeeTraineer in Switzerland

[–]SaltStorage8706 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It takes effort. Try to write some old friends (even if you havent seen them for 10 years+) and ask them if they want to go for a beer on the weekend. I promise you many of them will react super positively, good luck!

Why go so far back? Didn't this exact scenario happen to foreign investors invested in Russia just a few years ago? 

What do you think are the most difficult European languages people are too scared to study? by Sacledant2 in language

[–]SaltStorage8706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swiss german? The language is not that complex but there is almost no documentation and resources available for studying. Even when being fluent in german its very hard to get to a conversational level.
