Description:
You like to play PBEM? You want to get informed when a new PBEM game or tournament start? Then join this pool: you will receive a weekly newsletter summarizing new games. You can also comment in this pool to find new trusted PBEM players and announce new games.
| 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | << first | < previous | next > | last >> |
PLEASE REPORT any such issues so that we can help you and identify potential other problems.
My personal advice is to not use the official open beta for any game, except games created specifically to test it, as it is likely to cause troubles.
Please also remember to vote in the ongoing poll: What are your difficulties when playing Necromancer?
And please note that a new article was published, check it out: Interview of Skuns453Lirik902 - finalist of the 2015 PBEM Duel Tournament
@Gilafron & other map makers: the idea of organizing a "tactical battle challenge" has been discussed on the chat recently and we would need someone to create a map with 7 similar areas with about 15 sites to clear for each of the 7 players. The idea is that 7 players clear sites that are exactly the same, with exactly the same army, and an 8th player is allied to all of them to see what they do and do videos and comments their actions, to share with the wider community. Would someone be interested to help create the map?

there can be only one
We already have a new Race, the Shadow Elves, and they are also almost ready. The expansion has an internal coherence, a lore background, a dedicated team who has been working on it for months. There are many great contents on the Steam workshop but we are not going to integrate all of it into the expansion just because it's great, there need to be coherence and implication from the modders into the team effort. Also, you must not underestimate the work to merge mods, make them interact well together (including in terms of balance) and polish them to a sufficient degree of quality. Our resources are limited and I think bringing 1 Race, 2 Dwelling, 1 layer, new units and strategic structures is already a lot.
Regarding Shadow Demons, they will be roamers and defenders in the new structures, they won't be a Race or a Class because of our limited resources.

If you are planning to incorporate the Archons as a Dwelling, why not incorporate them as an entire Race? Â I suggest seriously thinking about it since a lot of work is completed for adding them as a race. Â Perhaps all that is left is balancing. Â To me, it seems a new race is preferable to a new dwelling.Â
+1 for Gila's comment.Â
A picture from the Archon Dwelling in the Shadow Realm expansion:
wonder if you had time to check the Archon mode out?

if this mod can be incorporated in the balance mod, we'd pretty much have an exra race (dreaming)Â

Two articles have been published recently:
- Interview of Fistandantilus - final phase of the 2015 PBEM Duel Tournament
-PBEM and Single Player Balance Mod v1.21 released on its beta branch (this article includes the changelog of v1.21)
Remember you can comment these articles ("Write comment" button at the top or "Give your opinion by commenting" at the bottom).
A new poll has been launched to understand better the potential difficulties of everyone when playing Necromancer: What are your difficulties when playing Necromancer?
You can cast your vote there.
For all our new players (but also for our veterans who may have forgotten), please have a look at this article which describes also the functionalities of the Battlefield and will help you benefit more from what it has to offer.
One of the most useful function is its chat, which you can access through the link "Chat with xx players" in the bottom left corner, or through this link: https://www.the-battlefield.c... You can have private chat with other players and you have a dedicated chat box for your team (if you are in one). Chat messages are saved for 72 hours so it can also act as a kind of forum.
And finally the results of two previous polls:
- What direction should the Balance Mod take in the coming months?
The table shows the % of voters that are registered users who voted for each option, the ranking among BF users (#1 has the most votes, #17 the least), the % of general voters (BF users or not), the ranking among general voters, and then the final ranking that I made based on these results. It means that our priorities for the near future for the balance mod will be: 1/ Make all heroes and their abilities more interesting (e.g. boost Dreadnought’s late game abilities) - we made great progress on this already (see associated post on the official forum), 2/ Make currently rarely used units more useful (e.g. non-cavalry units produced at War Halls) - discussion will start soon, and then 3/ Balance Racial Governance (make all choices interesting and races more equal).
- Do you think the mod that removes rapids (blocked water) from the Random Map Generator should be used for tournament games to help classes/races that cannot cross these rapids?
52% yes, 43% no and 4% no opinion (not 100% because of rounding issues), 23 voters. Conclusion for the Duel Tournament: we keep rapids because there is no strong majority to change the status quo.

I didn't get a chance to turn on my pc these 2 days due to the 8. march event - please halt games with timers, where I am participating until today evening!
I remember last time you wanted to test Daeneris and didn't manage to join? btw, will she playable as a fraction?Â
P.S. In my opinion, more camps with even higher number of roaming (perhaps faster spamming)units would be even cooler, as it would presure the player on that side very much.
But guess other players might have different idea.
@Imperium: I was talking about the discussion launched to prepare the poll: http://aow.triumph.net/forums... Obviously the poll does not list that option because as I said, nobody mentioned that option when we prepared the poll! But we'll have the option for the next similar poll (in a long, long time).
Best mods for AoW3 and other poll results (best class, worst starting class)
The article links to a new video published to present the balance mod, I spent a lot of efforts doing it, it's much better than the previous videos I released, so I hope you'll enjoy it:
Feel free to like it and comment it!
ANNOUNCEMENT: please note that there has been a change to the way team messages work on game blogs on the Battlefield. To avoid people wrongly sending key strategic intel to their enemies, the box "Viewable only for team members" is now checked by default for all team games! So if you want to post information for everyone, please uncheck it! You'll see if a message is sent only to your allies or to everyone by its background color: team messages are very visible in light yellow background.

@Imperium: I kind of agree with xlnt but I also feel some EQ just help the winner to win even more and they should certainly be improved or some could be removed. However, nobody raised that topic when I asked for balance direction for the poll What direction should the Balance Mod take in the coming months? so I'm afraid we'll have to wait before tackling this topic!
@AlX: yes I'm interested to play a Westeros game! However, I'll have to wait probably about 4 months before being able to start one as I limit my number of active games.
