Basic bows might be too much. How about Slings with range of 4 (same as throwing knives, but unlimited ammo) at start of game?
Imo the swarm bonus should simply have it's +1 atk removed. It would still be a powerful ability increasing the accuracy of all who are hitting. It would simply remove the extra abusive damage that goes along with the mechanic.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
and now to have pedestrians added for 32-bit users.
I can live with that. But that gives me the idea that successive research should unlock:
short bows with a range of 8,
long bows range of 12,
advanced fletchings, + range/accuracy
broadhead arrows, + damage
leading to:
dragon femur composite recurved bows of fiery death.
Arcane arrows:
Frostshafts: +2 ice damage and reduced init on hit (add the reduced init to all cold damage, see ROTM)
Lightning
Fire
Poison etc.
Something to fix this issue:

basically, the output of a treaty should have weight in the costs of the treaty.
Nice to see you here old chap. Love your FE LP's on Youtube, and the fact you play high level difficulties (alot more exciting to watch when the LP'er have a risk of not winning).
Still missing encumbrance? I do. Not because it's really needed if armor and huge weapons gets initiative maluses etc, but it made for some nice strategical flavour seldom seen in such games. Not at least when it came to how you chose to level up your champions.
I think the attack bonus is the important part of the swarm mechanic, because it scales perfect with the group size and makes the swarm mechanic useful at the early, mid and late game.
Unique thematic rewards for defeating an Wildland? Very nice!
Heal spells actually might do something? Very nice!
Better diplomacy? Always welcome!
Its released, let us know what you think.
Wonderful! I'll shut down my laptop and run to my gaming PC right now!
Woah! Will have to test it out tonight.
Does it have a high chance of breaking .85 saves (or messing sufficiently with balance stuff that a game started on .85 will break?)
Got a chance to test it out very briefly and noticed 1 bug:
*Tarth's Double Strike ability description still listed accuracy as having a -30 modifier instead of -20
Looks like the description just needs to be updated (assuming it was changed as in the changelog)
Thanks
As I've said elsewhere, I'm ok with the encumbrance change if everything related to it gets rebalanced properly. Initiative is a rough one to balance against as Wargs/speed boosters really shouldn't be the plan for plate armour.
Please fix the memory leak problem. Playing a large map (not huge), 7 players (total), getting to mid game the game will crash (program stops responding) and memory usage is at 87% on a Windows 7 premium (fully updated) with 8gb DDR3 ram, it's usually ~40% memory usage, but at a point something goes bad (I have no idea what is causing it and can't reproduce it). The sound / music keeps playing, but cursor reverses back to windows busy / not responding (the swirling circle) cursor, screen is frozen while music / sounds continue to play, and clicking once will give the program is not responding -> end task.
We shouldn't have problems (memory especially) after playing for 3-4 hours on a large map (heck I haven't even uncovered more than 30% of map, only have 3 cities with an AI next to me with 4 cities).
Anyone know any graphics option I can alter to make the highlighted movement squares stand out more?
Most times I have to zoom and spin the map to see them.
It will work with 0.85 saves. But you won't get a lot of the new stuff that is in the patch (since a lot of it is xml changes and the xml is stored in your save). In fact that aren't many changes that don't rely on an xml change (except ofr a few things like the fix for the explore action). I would recommend that if you wanted to finish your game you do so before patching, just in case (since patching and playing the old version won't really buy you anything anyway).
thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately I auto-patch (on purpose) and won't be streaming that game until tomorrow, so that won't work too well. I guess I'll see if it has any issues and restart if problems arise.
Excellent, excellent.Now to see the militia bug/mechanic fixed, so that they will defend settlements more than once ever.
Looks like I'll need to recreate most of my custom Heroes, Only seeing two of the six/seven I'd made.
Interesting. I hope this rapid patch means the patches come faster before the upcoming release on May 22nd?
great news! unfortunately i was just in the middle of a really fun .85 game. i'd love to finish that, but on the other hand that new patch looks great. no point clearing a few wildlands with the old version and get rusty boots as a reward for defeating a god when i could actually play a .87 game and get something epic instead
BUG report:
Assassin path:
-Break skill does not work. It graphically applies the debuff on targeted enemy, it is shown when inspecting said enemy in tactical screen, but it's effect is not applied, target retains full defense (against all attackers, including the Assassin who used Break).
This needs to be fixed because is one of the reasons an Assassin sovereign or champion would work, since all undead and many boss / champion type of creatures are immune to critical hits (which negates a whole line of specialization). Being able to remove one enemy defense (has a 5 turn cooldown) is what makes them viable past mid-game. This is most especially vital to Kingdom players who don't have easy access to Death spells to remove the defense of enemies.
Also another execution glitch with Rain of Arrows from Assassin path, sometimes (often) instead of firing instantly the caster remains stuck for 10-15 seconds with no casting animation then the damage happens instantly.
And finally archery bug. If my Assassin uses bows, and I researched end of the line longbows (including magical ones) who supposedly ignore 50% of target defense, that coupled with my 75% target defense ignore from Assassin path, should give me 100% Defense ignore on enemies. Yet the damage displayed on tooltip and actual damage dealt in combat reflects that neither are applied at all. With a Sovereign with 24 attack, with a bow that deals fire damage and amulets that add fire and ice damage (2 each), with 75% + 50% Defense ignore, with Break used, should do more than 1-5 damage on a Statue Lord (or what he's called, the ones leading the golem bands in scrapyard).
This is a serious detriment / handicap to ever making currently Assassin's be it melee or ranged ones. If you are forced to pick / learn spells and specialize in those because your attacks deal pathetic damage, that's a problem Houston!
Appreciated!
The Altar ability rush is awesome for getting into position with infantry, and Mancers get +1 move with all units. If you need more moves, change race.
This was reported in .85 and seems to be introduced in there (although maybe others could confirm/deny it back in .80)- https://forums.elementalgame.com/443604
