Thank you!

 

The other stuff is nice as well(except the Tornado nerf, boo), but this is a gamechanger.

Is this a fix to the ApplyToCaster tag?

Whaaaa!! This is good, very good.  it will take a lot of the frustration away with tactical battles.

I do not like this at all.

It will take away from the tactical positioning of your units.

 might as well just select auto-resolve if tactical becomes anymore streamlined.

Any chance of improving the contrast for movement squares in tactical combat? Currently, the snowy maps are hard to distinguish where your units can move. I think the same is true of the darker maps, too.

Yeah, grass and town streets are buggers for this too.  How many times I have not moved my full movement allowance because of this.  This really should have been sorted ages ago.

It's only friendly units mind you. I don't see the problem and think it's a great improvement.

Yay!  These have been around for a long time, thanks for fixing them!

And I really like the change to allow units to move through other units in battle.

Two big wins here- 1. You aren't as penalized for poor unit placement by the AI. 2. It makes larger armies more effective if you have low movement but fast initiative units in front of high movement, slow initiative units. It takes away the frustrations and should make placing armies easier (both for us and the monster AI). I just hope the AI will be smart enough to use it to their advantage.

hmm that sounds interesting. i think i will like that change. always a bit annoying when a higher init unit starts behind some slower units and can't move forward since the path is blocked. 

might present some opportunities for abuse, though (retreat wounded guy "through" a friendly unit while the friendly unit blocks enemy movement with its ZOC or something along that line). perhaps only allow passing through friendly units if no enemy unit is adjacent?

Hopefully we can have shield walls that take the initial charge then shield-bash units back and then the damage dealers wade through the shield wall, into the empty tile, and do their thing.

I wonder how consistent the tactic would play out since there's no "wait" command.

I like how Blood Bowl handled it -- if you try to move away from an adjacent enemy unit, you suffered an attack as you tried to pull away. That could work out as well here.

that's not really new. you can already place def units with 1-2 spaces in between (their zone of control prevents enemy units to step into the gaps), and have some axemen waiting behind the "shieldwall", then step forward once the enemy wasted their attack on the defenders and cleave them to hell. 

or form a line with 2-3 def units and flank the enemies with spearmen from the sides. 

i think that new option is intended as a solution for the deployment phase when some of the narrow  gaps in forest and city maps block fast units that got placed in the back row

You must be angry at them at all times :troll:   I like it.

This makes ranged attacks much more useful, because you can kill the wounded unit that retreats through a friendly unit.

I think it is a great change and it would be nice if the Assassin could get a passive ability that enables him to move through enemy units.

NO! SD STAHP. WAT U DOIN?

I don't understand this change at all, you just killed a significant amount of tactical relevance to positioning (now that it was finally starting to matter with weapon abilities!). All for having to not implement proper positioning pre-combat??? Or what is the intent here...

Reply #41 from Elemental Forums Top

I hope the Blood Curse Spell works properly now. That will allow me to level up my heroes indefinately with Paragon and enough city growth (through Consulates).

Blood Curse should be the ultimate Spell it was supposed to be (well at least on par with Mana Blast/Shield). And now it is!

Yea, this is the game-changer. 

I am not sure how it will work, very bad it was not tested during beta ....

Have a bad feelings about it.

That can't be the reason because it doesn't actually fix that problem.  

I think the reasoning has got to be more about moving units around on maps with choke points?  I'm not really sure.  Guess we'll have to test it out.  

I agree with the general sentiment.  It seems like a major change that should have been in the beta rather than in the first post-release patch.  Potentially changes a lot about how combat plays out. 

Guess we'll see.

Seems a potentially risky way of trying to fix a problem that could be fixed simply by allowing a default front/middle/back setup that is customizable outside of battle mode.

Hey- if we play it and hate it, they can change it back.

I have to be honest and say that i think this is a bad move. I love LH and i hope this doesn't make it cheesy. I can see some abuse with this mechanic.

I hope they change their mind about putting this one in...

It's bad enough that i'm kicking the computer's butt pretty much every battle even when i'm marginally outgunned, you know why? Because of the SWARM mechanic which i think is too powereful and promotes the (lets all gang up on one unit syndrome). It should at least be nerfed considerably or have other mechanics that promote units spreading attacks around more.

I can almost bet that moving through your own units will promote even more swarming on one unit at a time...

I hate snowy maps for this very reason!
