3 Games on New Server

[Strongwill]

Is the old server down? Can’t pull it up..

Strongwill,

Try again. Nothing seemed to be wrong, but I rebooted it. Let me know if that fixed it for you.

It’s up thanks…

Just got my FF setup for the new game 6061. I was looking at the brigade strengths to see if they matched the brigade changes by Olorin here
Brigade comparisons

They do not. In fact, the chart seems to have lots of errors, not just discrepancies. Apes Defense Absent, Beholder LR Renowned, Earth Elementals Defense Absent etc.

I wonder if the set up chart just has some errors, or if the brigade fields (which I can't see) are actually wrong.

Thanks.

Bump for the new brigade strengths.

Pine Needle,

Use the one here. I created a colorized chart;  this is the most recent. Let me know if it's not working. I'm on my development laptop, so there's always a possibility I'm getting mixed results.

Also included it here as well.  These could change, but for now, they are the most accurate.

Pine Needle,

You're right;  something is wrong. The value the game is using is correct. When I established the values for the levels, those were also correct, as are the formulas. The issue appears to be in how they were applied in the text table. I'll have to backtrack and figure out what's wrong. More to come.

OK, I’ve confirmed that I was able to change the code — which may not sound like much, but it’s got me excited! What I noticed is that while I could change the value, the message was still being delivered with the old text. That means I’ll need to make a few more changes.
I do think 30k seems like a lot, especially with my additional changes to the food/gold/defense base values (using the 1.2 modifier again). More to come, I’m going to let things ride for a bit and see how it goes.

I am playing the Lycans.  I took a town w military last turn but did not receive a bonus Lycans brigade.  Setup says I should.  
It was a human town if that matters.  If it is a percentage I get it, but setup does not state that.

Uncledarkseid,

Below is the wording for the Lycans. I believe the 33% mentioned also applies to towns and cities, but the most you can get is 1 for a town and 2 for a city. However, it’s not worded very clearly. Send me an email and I’ll confirm if I can.

"The military forces of the Lycans grow as they infect others during combat. After a battle, opposing forces on the battlefield have a 33% chance of being infected with lycanthrope and join the Lycan military as new kingdom-named brigades. One kingdom-named brigade may be gained after conquering a town, a maximum of two for conquering cities. Against opposing forces in group vs. group combat, a number of new kingdom brigades will be gained depending upon the results of the battle also at a 33% conversion rate (maximum of three new brigades per battle). Keep in mind that some troop losses in battle occur during the retreat stage and may not be considered for lycanthrope conversion (WHY WOULD THIS MATTER?  WHETHER YOU ARE BEING BITTEN IN THE FRONT DURING HAND TO HAND, OR BITTEN IN THE BUTT WHILE IN RETREAT, YOU ARE STILL BITTEN BY A LYCAN). EXCUSE THE ALL CAPS*
At least one Lycan kingdom-named brigade must exist in the group in order to spread lycanthrope. Only the Lycan kingdom has this special ability of growing their forces during battles and gain valuable kingdom-named brigades. [Important to note is that the additional brigades gained during battle will consume food/gold later in the turn, so plan accordingly"]


Brek I edited it, see if you agree with the wording, except my all caps question

Uncledarkseid,

I don't think stating the stage is really needed. It feels like too much programming-level information for the player. I do think your wording is more accurate based on my knowledge, but as I mentioned, once I have a chance to look at the code, I'll be able to confirm it for you.
