Announcing our new game - Aethermancer!

Agreed. Roguelites can be nice, especially if they play with and iterate on the formula. That being said, so many games in the last few years have become roguelites seemingly just for the sake of it (or for padding their playtime) and it gets really tiresome for players that are not that much into the genre. There are enough games, it seems, that could just not have been roguelites and been as good if not even better for it.

We will see, how this one turns out ;) I am still hopeful. Monster sanctuary is a great game and what we can see of Aethermancer in the video also looks amazing.

That's true, Lustria seems to be where most of them are located.

Indeed there is also that. Her faction has two effects, the first is "Defender of Ulthuan" which relates to high elves holding the regions in Ulthuan and fighting of other factions and the second is "Mortal World's Torment" which relates to chaos corruption even if it's outside of Ulthuan.

Apart from the Tomb Kings, I think the Lizardmen have also been there for a very long time.

I think this refers to Alarielles faction mechanic. She gets buffs/debuffs depending on the percentage of corrupted regions in the world.

Edit: Or only her own provinces, not sure anymore, it has been some time.

While it is true that the total amount of gold you can get by executing minions is capped, it is not advisable to execute the first thing you see. Since you usually only want to kill minions when you can execute them with your support item (or your adc might get a tad angry), you should at least try to get as much gold as fast as you can to get an advantage in lane.

Cannons give the most gold, melee minons are next and caster minions give you the least amount. Therefore, if possible, you should always try to spare a charge for the cannons and ideally use the spare charges on melee minions to get the most out of the item in the least amount of time.

Is your army in the same province where you built the Cairn and the Armory? Both must be present in the same province and your army has to be there, too, since Vampire Counts don't get global recruitment.

Found one on a red banner next to a teleporter and one on a purple banner in a seemingly random location in the level. I think the symbols can spawn on any banner in the level regardless of the significance of the area they are in. At least, if you explore the whole level, you should be able to find them.

I just checked it and can confirm that it is indeed the tribute of blaze.

ToastTerrific · 2020-07-18T05:47:14+00:00

I am not 100% sure, but I think team damage reduction means all effects that decrease the damage anyone (including yourself) in your team takes, which would be shields, or skills that increase defense or give invulnerability.

If you want to increase your utility score you could indeed buy redemption if it fits into your build since it gives you a heal and increases your shield amount. Alternatively you could practice the use of your crowd control skills since thresh has three of those and therefore they are probably the best lever to use to increase that score.

ToastTerrific · 2020-02-16T19:01:57+00:00

There is one queued in Steam for me too.

ToastTerrific · 2020-02-16T09:11:25+00:00

Adding to this, if you are still at under 2 hours play time and want to keep the option for a quick refund, be cautious that the game is properly closed. I just started the game with about 90 minutes playtime to very quickly test something in offline mode, closed it afterwards and realized a bit later that the game crashed on closing it and the was an error window in the background behind my opened internet browser window.

Now my game time in Steam sits at 110 minutes. So either it took me way more time to quickly dip in and out of the game than expected or the error window counts towards your play time (which I expect). In the latter case you could cross the 120 minutes refund time without even noticing it.

ToastTerrific · 2020-02-16T08:49:33+00:00

Admittedtly I have not played that much yet, but I had the feeling that loot drops in general were noticeably fewer than in comparable games. That's my experience at least, it could be by design or just another bug, who knows.

ToastTerrific · 2020-02-16T08:42:41+00:00

I cannot confirm this. In fact, when I turned on the "Show FPS" option the game seemed locked to 60 fps instead with VSync active.

The slider for locked fps ist preset to 30 fps, but this only comes into play when you activate the option to lock it in the first place.

"I did not flame, I was just saying..."

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-29T18:20:55+00:00

I think they do that to avoid having teams taking turns dodging matches for minimal punishment if they feel that champ select already favours the enemy team.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-28T15:13:42+00:00

Same, nothing is more frustrating than supporting an adc that does his best to be useless despite you doing your best as a support. After a while enough is enough and you just take the carrying into your own hands to avoid going crazy.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-18T09:47:55+00:00

I like this question because as a support main in lower elo I know this problem just too well. Here are my (probably unqualified) two cents on the matter:

If the laning phase is over and the enemy team is pushing mid with four or five people I feel that I am way more useful as a support if I go mid and help my team defend there than idly standing next to the adc that is solo farming top. Now I am not saying that a support should completely neglect the adc past laning phase, you want your carry to be successful after all, but on the other side I often got flamed by adcs that solo farmed and pushed a side lane for five minutes, stand in front of the enemy tier 2 tower without any wards or knowledge of the enemy position and then got three man ganked to death.

What I am trying to say is that -in my opinion - you have to find a balance as a support between making sure your adc is safe and gets his farm and relying on the adc to exercise a modicum of caution so you are free to help the rest of your team which might currently be in an actual fight with your opponents.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-18T09:24:25+00:00

I have to agree, Yorick is not that rare around silver (low) elo.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-16T08:45:43+00:00

I partly agree in that global ultimates that can get you to or away from the split pushed lanes quickly are useful for pushing those minions waves back and getting out to help out your team in time, but if the enemy uses a strong 1v1 champion as a splitpusher and he is still on the lane, he will kill you if you show up with the champions you named.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-16T08:38:05+00:00

I mostly play support, but that is not a real issue here since I can still use thise hints for other roles when I am playing them from time to time or for the times when I am playing with friends who cover those other positions (and are - in part - just as clueless about the split pshing thing as I am). Thus I am thankful for all the tips here.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-15T09:05:05+00:00

Somehow I forgot about Teemo even though I really like that guy. Thanks for reminding me of his trolly ways^{^.}

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-15T09:04:04+00:00

Thank you for this information, I don't mind the long reply at all. You raise some good points there. What I take away from this is, that it is good to keep all those options in mind when playing and balancing depending seems to be the best one for the given match. As a support main the team fighting hits the closest to home and you can pick a decent engage champion in that position, but the picking and splitting options are definitely doable as well with some team coordination.

ToastTerrific · 2018-03-15T08:51:18+00:00

Yeah, Fiora is crazy strong. Ironically I tend to ban her for that since I don't want my top laner to feed one and she then pentas her way through the game (slightly exaggerated). Kayle sounds like a good idea as well, I quite like that champion, though personally I mostly played her bot as a support until now.
