I have to say that I love the new Orc Paladin. The model is both orcish and paladinish, did an amazing job of making both points come across in my mind. Can see I'll be playing Clan of Embers more in my future. :lol: Good job!

I think the problem you're going to face is no matter what rules you apply or what map you have set up, there will be *something* that someone will say makes the results invalid. AIs in general add a wild-card that detracts from any real economic comparison between Aristocracy and other...

I think a more controlled experiment would be more useful if you're looking for comparisons. The reason I didn't take part in this is that I thought the many external, random factors made the experiment valueless (the AI, the arbitrary rules.) Of course, I've already updated, and I don't...

Mahala and Charadon DO play almost completely differently, so it's hard to give general Doviello advice since the two want different things. I will say this...after trying both out, I no longer even try to play Charadon. I'm convinced that outside of the very early game, he's just flat-out...

Going to sound like a stupid question, but you aren't playing the Barbarian Assault scenario, are you? Otherwise, I'm at a loss...that should only come up with Final Five.

After reading through this again, I wonder if the main problem is boss spawns (which DO have a grace period and I've never seen pre-T2)...or the specter spawns from ruins/graveyards (which apparently don't and I have.) Specters themselves aren't THAT scary early-game, but they have some crazy...

This map is still unnecessarily cruel to the Sheaim, due to Basium being spawned right off the bat. I did manage to win this one, though it required that I "abuse" the Great Engineer that was mistakenly given to me instead of Hyborem to rush the Pact of Nilhorn and send the giants to my capital...

I had no problem building this as the Illians. Are you building it in a city bordering a river? That's a requirement.

Adepts can learn spells as promotions, the spells you can learn being dependent on the mana types you have connected to your capital (or what mana types your civ has by default.) You'll need a Life Node to have Life as a promotion option, for example. After that, any adept who is ready for a...

The Life 1 spell is Sanctify, which removes hell terrain from the square the adept is standing in and all the squares surrounding it. You'll have to use that to remove the terrain.

I remember one game getting attacked by a Specter that upgraded to a Wraith, had like Combat 5 when he got to me. Was before turn 50, I managed to survive due to some luck and the fact that I was playing Doviello and thus had more warriors than most civs would have at that point in the game.

You'll have to do some downloading, but the downloads and instructions are here: http://www.heroes-fr.com/en/original_campaigns.php Assuming you have Tribes of the East, just put the files in the proper places and bang, H5 and HoF campaigns in the TotE client, with the updated unit upgrades...

HoMM5 is good if you're playing Tribes of the East. There's also an easy way to play the campaigns from Vanilla and HoF with the TotE features, which makes the whole experience much better. On the other hand, I hated King's Bounty. Far too stifling, you can't get or use the armies you want...

Believe it stands for Rapid Expansion.

Indeed. I tend to see Doviello (in the rare times I'm not playing them) do abysmal on Erebus maps due to the horrid starts they get put in, as I believe was mentioned earlier. Clan gets put in a similar situation. It's the reason why I don't play Erebus anymore, it doesn't treat the civs at all...
