I Boarded Bubbeos!

[Vorpal+5]

Something fun, don't know if this is a bug, but I killed Bubbeos, which was flying near my coast, with a Boarding Party stationed on land (wearing the "I do not know fear" object).

Also something related to Boarding Parties, now that ships have their strength doubled, should they not get a bonus to board. It is now extremely difficult to capture a ship now!

Poor Buboes.

But yes, Boarding Parties were supposed to get a bonus vs naval units that I forgot to add. I'll include it in 0.40.

Could you change it so that promotions like Boarding, Subdue Animal, and Subdue Beasts have a set percent chance for letting you capture units of the appropriate unitcombat instead of always a 100% chance? A 100% chance just seems like to much to me. I'd personally like to split these promotions up into multiple levels, like the combat promotions, but that capacity does not exist.


We would all of course also really like it if combat odds of attacking ships with land units to be displayed so we know whether it is wise to try.

A BIG +1 to this.

I dont know that I would want it to be less than 100%. You already have the variance from the battle odds themselves. Adding an additionla layer in that you might not even get the capture makes these considerably less powerful and Im nto sure they need to be nerfed.

Yeah, thats definitly needed. I need to figure out how to do that.

Yes, please keep it at 100 Kael. Missing a dragon or something like that would really be annoying to those of us that don't reload.

If you changed it to have a percentage chance you wouldn't have to actually make capturing them any harder. You (and modmoders) would just have the option to do so.

 

[Skitters]

if changed to a percentage, it could perhaps also be altered so that there could be a (very) small chance that subdue animal / beast or (particularly) boarding could take place without the relevant skills...
