Wow! Quadruple-posting, caps, questioning admins' decisions....
....all coming from a level 11.
Calm down, man! Or leave...
ps: Knights were nerfed so bad, that on level 14 they can only beat 2 demons single-handedly, not 3. :) | #41
Sarcasm will get you everywhere..
I'm calm. Since when is posting your opinion not allowed in the forums?
And for a level 12, you sure don't know much about the game, do you? Which part of my post do you not understand, and I'll gladly explain them in detail and simpler English for you. :)
1 - You are giving ONE example in a PvP fight. This game is more than that, no?
2- That knight was playing in his true faction (of which he had racial 9), while the 2 Demons was playing in factions (very low racial) they were trying to level up in. And did I mention that knight was in way more arts than the 2 Demons? Did you not noticed that? If I recall correctly, that 2 demons also didn't have tier 7 units. Or did you not noticed that too?
And coming from a player who have Elf racial faction 9, and immediately switched to DE (you could easily have switched to oany other faction since when you have racial 0 for all other factions too), just proves my point further, don't it?
You switched coz DE is the hardest to play? Ermm.. I seriosuly don't think so.
Thanks for proving my point. Have a nice day. :) | ps: Knights were nerfed so bad, that on level 14 they can only beat 2 demons single-handedly, not 3. :)
Wasn't that battle BEFORE the Knights were nerfed? OR did I miss another battle? | Sorry, I just have to add this:
You gave an example of a knight beating demons.
I quote myself:
Let's not go into how strong/weak knights are, but comparatively speaking, DE is so weak that they should get so much more troops compared to a knight?
Now tell me,
- Can u kindly highlight to me where in my posts did I mention anything about demons?
My posts were generally about DE and the increased units they got from the faction balancing.
So why would you post something that has no relation to DE whatsoever? Words fail me..
But still.. have a great day. :) | You switched coz DE is the hardest to play?
I switched to DE because ~50% of level 12 players were playing DE at the time. In order to gain some quick faction skill levels (providing some protection against them), then save up some gold and move on to some more "fun" faction.
Which part of my post do you not understand, and I'll gladly explain them in detail and simpler English for you.
Don't be so blind of rage! I _did_not_ say that the updates are good for your faction.
I just wanted to point out that such a forum-rampage coming from an experienced player is plain ridiculous. | My posts were generally about DE and the increased units they got from the faction balancing.
Oh, so you are not complaining about knights getting nerfed. You're complaining about DEs getting boosted.
Ok, so here's what DEs got, in a way I see it (and the reasons in brackets):
- more expensive offense talents (to nerf might)
- cheaper magic talents (to boost magic)
- lots of minos and hydras (slow but tough: some 'meat' to make caster DEs more viable)
In my opinion, this whole balancing thing was about might&magic, not DEs and knights. | forum-rampage?
Okie, this is getting personal, which digress from the purpose of a constructive discussion.
Was I swearing and cursing at anyone or anything? Was I using tons of exclamation and question marks? Did any of my words sounded remotely like I was angry? Or was it purely an assumption of what you THINK I feel?
Please, if your post has no relevance to the topic, kindly refrain from posting in this thread and digress from the topic of this thread.
If you have something to say to me personally, you could always send it me via PM. :)
Thanks. | Ok, so here's what DEs got, in a way I see it (and the reasons in brackets):

Wait a minute, lemme see if I got this right --> You said what you did, and ynd you are playing as a DE, and you have a grand total of... 1 Knowledge, and everything else on Attack.
So if your opinion and reasons on the faction balancing is anything to go by, it sure is 'working', ain't it? :)
Please, don't say 1 thing, when your actions (and >95 of all high level DEs) clearly don't support it.
Thanks. :) | from what i watched (mainly group battles) so far this is how it tends to end:
1) DE and Knight min arts, DE win (because first strike and Knight without much armor just slices through)
2) both average/max arts, Knight rally/offense build: DE wins
3) both average/max arts, Knight heavy defense: Knight wins
4) DE full enchanted: DE wins (since there is as far as i know no equal armor upgrade)
but still i can't say much about it after all since i'm low level (not even 10 yet) and only watched fights DE vs Knight, never played them myself
in my opinion it's the same as for playing elf vs DE: if you can't get the first hit in you need defense (elf can cover part of this with stoneskin), else the ini-based shrews will just smash you
and please don't forget that the new map really doesn't favor DE as much as it did before (Shrews placed in corner with block can't reach the center, Shrews without block are easy targets. That is, so to say, only if Shrews don't kill everything at the first turn)
and i don't fear the Ladon that much
so not everthing has turned to bad
but still i too think that it is simply too easy to go shrews-heavy as a Dark Elf
of course i think the same way you do, Jedi-Knight, about the hunting etc (although i'm an Elf)
but every faction has it's own good and bad points, and if i never can successfully play a high level group combat (because 99,99% of all first attacks will target the Elf who is completely crippled on Bowmen/Efk before even moving once) well then it's simply the way this game is. Of course it is ridiculous to talk about a balancing when the faction that was already best faction in at least 2 of the different games here gets even more. But that is how the game is. I would rather complain about poor Necro. They don't have Morale/Luck debuff for the enemy and no battle fury (for Zombies/Skele) which were the main reason i liked them on HoMM V (and raising gets sort of useless here on higher level)
so it is sort of unfair but complaining here won't help anything
when we had (once again) a great economy crisis due to mines without gold for 3 weeks! i simply payed someone who knew russian like 20.000 gold to translate a nice letter for the russian administrators into russian (of course i checked back with google translator but i didn't want to use google translator only because often something really weird comes out). I posted that letter on the russian forum and - what a wonder - after 3 weeks of empty mines suddenly all were refilled few hours after posting on the russian forum. This may have been coincidental but i heavily doubt it. | OK. Thread has descended into a flame-war. Take it to PM.
