a question:
why sometimes the enemy shooters focus my skelleton bow first while sometimes focus vampire counts first?
(always with vitality and both are out of full range.)
for example, in the fight vs caravan of barbarians, their cyclops always shoot vamps first, while most of the other shooters (rangers in caravan of elves for example) always focus skelleton bow first. but in the merc quest of elf invader{16} the rangers turned to shoot vamps first.
I'm a little confused about this. how to calculate and predict it?
some combat links which may be relevant:

i havent look on those logs. but i do understand what you try to show.
1st, you should know the priority list for the AI. AI will always aim kill some high threat targets.
2nd, there are hidden factors that AI will make exception and wont follow the list. i had explore on that.
so, 1 of the tips in the hidden factors. dont charge forward until get over 50% of the battlefield. take example in solo hunts with 12x12 battlefield, should you ever charge forward and get over any tiles beyond 6:N.
your vampire should stay at any tiles behind 6:N and charge forward in next move. that will reduce the chance for your vampire get killed, after all you still need to spend 2 turns to get near target even you go beyond 6:N. you could just apply what i mention to try out :) |
| I noticed that thos cyclops will always target my vamps first given that bows have vitality, but if I defend with the vamps, then he will shoot my bows immedeately |

Indeed
not just cyclops, but large stack of orcs as well
the only thing that keep them from shooting counts is to defend with them |
to Pang:
I have said that both ske and vamps are OUT of the full range of shooters. The latest combat is due to sharpshooters have no range penalty skill so need not to keep out of range.
I'm just wondering how does the ai calculate the threaten and why sometimes ske and sometimes vamp as their first target(under the same condition). you know, this question is very important for necro since most of time if they target my ske then i win else if they kill vamp first i will lose. |

Well the higher your FSL the more of an advantage you have so I would say yes |

anyone who can answer this question? |
Anyone know how much is the maximum of skeletons can be stored in our recruiting page for every level?
Coz right now, I can only store 360, I thought you can store unlimited amount of skeletons. |
Coz right now, I can only store 360, I thought you can store unlimited amount of skeletons.
Number is unlimited indeed. Maybe are you confused by the fact that you can loose some skeletons when they die in combat? |
| Ah you're right,I got more than 360 skeleton now ^^ |
for all of you that say that a lvl 5-6 necro cant beat a wizzy.. ive beaten a few by now and one of tham with enchanted gargoles...
necro can beat all factions ive youve got high fsp.
Every lvl 7+ necro prefers ring of doubt than any other ring but isnt abdication ring better for duels?
a vital point for necros is shooting before other shooters so i would prefer +10 initiative against elves and barbarians. |
| Lv 6 wizards can beat Lv 6 necros easily unless the wizards r dumb, silly and stupid all in one. Probably u faced a bunch of wizards who did not know how to use mana recovery and gargoyles properly. Ghosts die at amazing speeds when they are arrowed. |
| are there ways to beat a wiz? .... |
get magic proof from milirtil armors or cape, also you can get barrier talent
at level 11, apparitions can drain mana from magi
if the wiz is a magic wiz, the troops should be weaker than urs, if u can kill them quickly, u can win |
| Can anyone post me a link, where Harvest soul is used in a monster quest? Or against any opponent...thanks |
i never seen a necro use harvest soul in monster but in duel, here a recent one
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=31634641 |
| So for Harvest soul there is no retaliation and no more than 1 creature can be killed that way? |
Harvest soul takes exactly as much hp from target stack to reduce creature count by 1, also it is an activated abbility meaning you have to sacrifice your attack in order to use it.
Best to use with small stack of heralds against big tier creature with full hp.
Does no work against monsters. |
| it does work on monster but you can only use it when the monster hp is less than 1000 |
