Hero

[qbot]

I have not tried this since some times ago but when you attack someone with one [a href=http://www.gamesweb.cl/archmage01/units.php?id_unidad=81 target=_blank]militia[/a] to scout, will your hero lead the suicide mission? In mari, hero will not follow an attack if it is less than certain power level...

[Dracolich]

Are you sure about that? I always thought that was one of the disadvantages of heros, to avoid your scout and disband attacks. And no matter the power involved.

??

I don't understand. If I attacked someone with one <a href=http://www.gamesweb.cl/archmage01/units.php?id_unidad=81 target=_blank>[a href=http://www.gamesweb.cl/archmage01/units.php?id_unidad=81 target=_blank]militia[/a]</a> so see his stacking, the last thing I want is to get my hero killed in the process. Why is that a good thing?

If you are questioning the legitimacy of scouting, that's a totally different ball game. Since this is a war game, scout i.e spying on the enemy is very important...

[Dracolich]

Perhaps I expressed wrong.

I don't have any problem with scout, spying and disband technics, when they are done in a fair way(usually in wars).
What I meant is that heros have a "bad" side. If you want to have heros, you will have obvious advantages, but you will have to pay maintenance, increase your power, and you won't do any attack with a few troops if you don't want to lose them.
So putting it simply: If you want to scout, you won't have heros; if you want to have them, you forget about scouting.

And you said in Mari there were certain situations when heros didn't command troops. I never heard about that, so I ask "are you sure?".

[qbot]

hmm... ok :~)

Yea, in mari, if you scout with 1 [a href=http://www.gamesweb.cl/archmage01/units.php?id_unidad=81 target=_blank]militia[/a] for example, your hero will not follow. I am very certain coz I had done it many times before .

then pillage to scout, then attack after you see the stack

[jun2x]

keep in mind that the stack u will see in pillaging differs since the initiative works diferently.. (goes like range/melee/flying or something... forgot) or it should be... correct me if im wrong...  

[sperm]

Thats correct jun2x! Pillage stacking is entirely different when you attack... its kinda cool when everyone talks about these stuff and computation...

hmmm... wheres tijn when you need him..

[qbot]

Don't think he plays here. But I do know he plays in "The rein car na tion". If you need him, go to "#the re in car na tion" on galaxynet (without the spacing. Somehow, this board won't let me spell it right )

[sperm]

hmmm... galaxynet. I haven't been to IRC either coz of RL. Oh well, time to take notes again from the master. Hahahaha!!

[Onimaru]

wtf?
