Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[llamabeast]

I like the joke on the game page Xietor.

Can we go back to 48 hours on this game? I am reaching the typical phase of the game where multiple players team up on me in order to find a gameplay option that is easier than the AI and I will need more time to do my turns.

[Xietor]

I have set the host to 48 hours.

The current turn has been postponed. If you have time to do your turns at a faster pace than 48 hours(and this goes for everyone), please do so.

But it appears war has reared its ugly head on Battlemap, and we understand the need for more time.

How's this game going? I'm not playing, but I'm interested. Anybody unhappy with their heroes? Anybody running away with the game with theirs?

[Foodstamp]

I should clarify. My post is mainly in jest. I would rather be the single nation getting teamed up on than being part of a group of nations teaming up on a single nation. It's one of the reason I picked Vanheim this game and have been playing R'lyeh quite a bit lately.

I chose to live by the sword, I have no issue at all dying by it. And I will do it yet again in the next multiplayer game I am in. Eventually, I will find a way to win without depending on massive diplomacy to supplement skill . For now, I am still teh suq as far as standing alone goes, but next game I will fair better, etcetera etcetera.

If you look on the Epic Heroes Mod thread(in mod forum), about 2 posts from the bottom are the tweaks coming in 1.5. Generally speaking so far:

Below par Epic Heroes:

1. Atlantis
2. Shinuyama

Regrettably I do not really play these races, and did not realize the injustice i did to them with the 1.4 Epic Heroes. Playing Shinuyama this game(1st time ever) gave me new insight to their lack of punch.

Atlantis Hero is basically just a slightly beefed up starspawn, such as the Rlyeh can buy at all of their castles.

Both of these races' Epic Heroes will be getting significant boosts in 1.5.

Epic Heroes that need a slight tweaking downwards:
1. machaka-will lose fear
2. Vanheim-tinker's hammer will lose its aoe attack effect(but will still have a 2ndary aoe of small area fire).

Epic Hero that is overpowered:
Rlyeh- he most likely is going to lose his life drain.

I'm not sure about power levels, but Li Bo is presently kinda redundant or boring.

He's rather like an existing hero Lu Ting-Pin (whom I also got) but with +1W, +2A, +1H, awe, magic being, the dominion spread, and he loses flight and the armor slot.

Maybe if he could domsummon the demon of the heavenly rivers (dom/10 would be plenty.) That'd be cool. Not sure what else he could do that would make him more 'epic" than Lu Ting-Pin except giving him more magic.

Anyway, I'm doing really well in this game but I think it's because of my position and skilled use of my military, not my hero. All he's done is search for sites, really.

Foodstamp, you are making it sound like you were the one who was peacefully standing around. You were the one who practically declared war on both of us.

[LoloMo]

I would like to submit that the epic hero for MA Agartha is sub sub sub par. He is basically a national troop with added w2. I just put him in the castle for research.

[Foodstamp]

I am clearly the victim here sir

My first post was written jokingly, except I really needed the 48 hours because of my RL schedule right now.

Someone sent me a private message thinking the post was serious, so I made the second post to let the parties involved know that I don't mind fighting a multifront war.

Goodluck in the fights to come!
