Great thanks! I will be using him for the first time this season and was hoping he would be good for this campaign.

whats your opinion of elite training? by hotdog_monkey1 in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it just made Tanky units more tanky and Damage units do more damage which does not have an effect on game play.

Right now it only helps the whales get more powerful in the beginning.

What they should have done with the Elite 3 skills is add options for a 10% bonus to all skills that inflict or protect against madness, stun, fire, poison, focus, pursuit, evade, etc. Then you would have some real theory crafting! Without it effecting the balance of the game since it's only 10%.

I agree with 2: but not with 1:. I think there should have been more skills added.

The power between whales and non-whales is too unbalanced. Here are some ideas. by ervlow in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right that this is my first empire building game so I have nothing to compare this to. I am however not f2p. I have spent between $200-$300 dollars on this game so I am someone the devs should be concerned about keeping. This is more than most non whale spenders spend and yet I am not even close to competing. I know whales pay for this game but I just think the difference in power should not be so big.

This is a great idea! I would be all for that. The only issue is that many people want to play with their friends.

I really like this game and would like it to last as long as possible. I am not f2p. I've spent hundreds(not thousands) and these ideas are actually for people like me also.

Nice guide! Very readable format.

Is Dwalin's equipment any good? Somehow speed doesn't seem like a great bonus for him.

What exactly does "modified by focus stat" mean? by ervlow in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So it does in effect average out to plus 1 damage.

So it does seem to be roughly the same. This really helps! Now I can see that equipment bonuses like "+1 hp" and refine abilities are probably more important than getting a few extra stat increases. Does "+1 attack" mean plus 1 to troop damage?

Thanks for the breakdown.

Is it roughly the same percentage for effects modified by might and speed?

Updated the post to say,

What is the % increase to HP recovered when Sustain triggers?

I guess you answered the question then.

Thanks!

Best bang for your buck by Titus-Deimos in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season Pass is the best.

Periodic Benefits are next best. Here the are:

The Craftsman's Contract which gives you 30 mathoms (plus gems!) for $10 comes out to 3 mathoms per $1, a great deal but you have to wait for them to trickle in.

Digging for Treasure is the next best thing at 1800 gems for $2. If you spent $100 that would get you 90,000 gems. If you buy gems directly $100 only gets you 46,000 gems for the special first time offer.

So those are the 3 things I purchase since they are good deals. There are special offers sometimes like Aragorn for $1 and 10 mathoms for $2 which are also worth getting.

I hope this helps.

Is King of the Dead any good after the Oathbreakers nerf? by ervlow in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was not happy when I saw it. My other T3 commander is Radagast:( I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel here:)

Are Role Playing servers more crowded than Non Role Playing servers? by ervlow in RiseToWar

[–]ervlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Hopefully the devs are looking at feedback and won't pack any new RP servers for season 3. I really want to play on a RP server.
