| The invisibility skill seems to be bugged. My stalkers were invisible, but AI could still hit them. They didn't get shot though. |
| but stalker's invisibility isn't working against AI. I have seen it happening... :( |

Well nothing like that happened with me in all my 12 battles.. strange |
Invisibility ability description here:
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/toe_dungeon_creatures.shtml
If the stalker stops adjacent to a hostile unit, the invisibility is gone |
| Yeah, but it didn't. My stalker was still black. Might have been that I was in the enemies path and it stopped and performed a melee attack, like it's also written there. This way it could be useful to have a lot of stacks of 1 invisible stalker. |
for Lord Fosgeen:
Might have been that I was in the enemies path and it stopped and performed a melee attack
oh right, that one is much more likely |
| I stopped a stack of torturers with one stalker, so this seems to work. I expect this will be very useful at high levels. |
| can we abuse stalkers with magic guilds?/ since they cant see us |
| I guess they can be very useful against melee enemies. At least if you can keep running out of range of all the enemies. But it only works for 3 turns and magic heroes can use area spells to hit you. |

| How long the event will last and how many battles ? |
for Lord Fosgeen:
In the battle you got hit was there a necro enemy? |
| No, it was a barb. Must have been that he was just going forward and passed my stalker. |
How long the event will last and how many battles ?
The stars to be aligned only for 8 days and the Portal will be sustained until March, 24th inclusive (+2 additional days to complete all the battles, till March, 26th inclusive) |
for Lord Fosgeen:
Yeah probably... because it can't stop and then hit. |
Further reducements have been made to creatures, from the ones that I had been using:
skeletons was 43 and is now 37 units
skeletal legionnaires was 19 and is now 13 units
skeletal bowmen was 26 and is now 20 units
enchanted gargoyles was 8 and is now 7 units |
What are all of you recruiting? Anyone recruiting tier 3 or 4? If so what creatures?
I think I'll play around a bit and check costs for all the way up to tier 7. |
| I have gone for a DE build at the mo. minos are quite good value, as are rogues and bandits. Rogues strangely however are best defending right fro the start, they won;t get a chance to attack most of the time as get shot on priorit, however that means slower melee stacks get in undamaged. Also since you know they will shoot them, they are out of range and defended, so minimising how much damage you get. |
I used skellies, skelly legionnaires and bandits.
Tier 5 has been reduced heavily as well, firebirds and dark rocs are cut in half, both were 2 units per click and now you only get 1 unit.
Elfs units are so low in ammount that I'm guessing nobody will play with those.
Just like last time knights 1 cleric costs 54 crystals while 1 angel costs 33. A skeletal dragon costs 22 and a mirage dragon 34. So according to the admins reasoning one cleric is more powerfull than most tier 7 units, hence the cost. You have got to love their logic. |
Thanks for sharing!
By the way I'm not sure but haven't they also raised the costs of upgraded necro dragons? I liked to use them last time.
On the other hand I think 6th tier is affordable, like abyss/pit demons, paladins/chargers, and even sphynx immortals are somewhat affordable this time around I think.
What else, I think dwarf is pretty useless now, I doubt any troops this time are worth taking, maybe non-upgraded bears and brawlers are still ok.
I think stalkers are a good addition even for later stages of the event, pretty decent for blocking shooters, or even coming in way of enemy troops.
Imo it's been the same thing modified little by little over the past 3 or 4 pot's. The last one in 2014 in which we got a lot more cot was more fun imo, oh well who minds some free faction resistance anyway? :) |
