Re: 2.4 Balance Feedback

Maybe I should just make a whole new thread for minor fixes and bugs? But anyway found a few things with 2.4 A minor typo: Interceptor Squad tooltip incorrect. Says it requires a level 2 Stronghold. Another tooltip issue. Stock Manticores have storm eagle ability (or at least the tooltip) Also, that...

Re: Whiteshield (Replaces Loyalty to the End) feedback thread

I envisioned it similarly to Black Relic's description, but it also brought up an issue or two. My idea had been, you call it in with X req and Y red cost anywhere you had vision and you would drop in via Valkyrie a squad of 10-12 Whiteshields. Apply whatever balanced stats you want to them but they...

Re: 2 detectors per tier and why it is sad

It's important to remember that there used to be two different kinds of infiltration. One that is "perfect" infiltration, and one that is the "Standard" one, the "perfect" one would not even be by colliding into entities. Presumably, mines have "perfect" infi...

Re: Inqusitorial Operative (WIP)

Not that i'm complaining or anything, but aren't we throwing just a few too many regular human units into GK? Don't Imperial Guard that witness Grey Knights get executed so that they stay a secret? It almost feels like the faction is Witch Hunters more so than GK. I think Caeltos DID say he was look...

Re: Whiteshield (Replaces Loyalty to the End) feedback threa

From what I read about Whiteshields they will work totaly different than Guardsman. Care to elaborate on this? They're both cheap, easily reinforceable squads with large numbers of units doing similar damage. Only real difference is Whiteshields do a bit more in cover, and have an ability, while GM...

That is correct but the argument some are making, myself somewhat included, is that we already have Guardsmen. No need for a "Guardsmen-lite", yet we might get one anyway.

This is almost the most arrogant and wrong thing i've read in my life. Calling some one wrong sounds pretty arrogant to me.

LTTE often wins me engagements which i would usually lose without it. This is a myth I wish people would stop parroting.

That's pretty much what I've been asking. Do you think we like having the silly little mines that BARELY hurt HI, and that basically can be easily avoid by simply sidestepping abit? We'd like something with more oomph as well.

Re: Faster Capping traits

It was either a defining trait for SM when the game came out, or a balancing issue. If it was for balance, I can't remember why. Probably because their scouts were too fragile and SM is quality over quantity. Caeltos gave it to Kasrkins for some reason of which I'm not aware of. You could speculate ...

Getting back on topic, how goes the balance on these guys so far? What are you testing out with them? It seems a little weird for a large team of units to have a setup weapon like that.

I had either suggested, or planned on suggesting this before. Make the Conscripts however you'd like but take a slightly weakened version of LTTE (since it won't cost anymore red) and put it on his T2 Power fist.

Re: For The Emperor(FC Global)

It certainly is underused but that's only cause delaying your game-winning unit= bad. Afterwards, I suppose you can go buck wild with buffing whenever you can with it because as everyone has pointed out, underused =/= underpowered.

It makes no sense that they can do one but not the other, from either an in-game or balance perspective. Let's also consider that they are spotters... So if they can call in mortar shots from beyond their sight range, you're essentially assigning spotters for your spotters . What?? To be honest, the...
