Loosing the hero hits me really hard because I lost 50% of my healing abilities. Fortunately I was able to control a wrath around turn 12 what allows me to handle some tough fights. Unfortunately I havn't got the screen when I lost my throne. It was the first "real" action in the game and happened before the fights I posted in the game thread.
Confirmed by EarL1893
but apparently wall slider was a touch off or something.
I launched a counter-attack with some other troops and killled all the rest of Lck's troops.
EDIT: I had to correct the post because it was not Seer attacking me. Sorry fot that. Has anybody the screen when I lost my throne?
When you are hosting a game, please put some effort in to provide screenshots of the settings. You don't need to be a skilled "computer person" to make a screenshot, put the game in windowed mode and upload an image here on the site.
For those that are unable to make those 3 steps, you can ask your team mate to host the game.
Here is a simplified guide of how to get the right settings:
1. Put the game in windowed mode, from the AOW3 launcher:
2. Take a screenshot of all screens, preferably not a "steam screenshot" as that limits the capture to the steam application.Â
3. Upload the images here on battlefield:
If you need any further help, please contact me or Hiliadan via a PM.
And, you didn't provide the screenshots of the settings, so your game still can't start.
$eeR, please do some efforts and ask to other people to help you with this, you are the only one on all 8 games that have such troubles getting it right...
i mean its a decent enough laptop , but not as good as other pc ...took sevral tries just to get correct screensetup to run the program after windowed mode.... was quite the pain in ass actually.
as afore mentioned many times apologies but i am not the most technically proficient computer uh......technician or whatevever.
i have changed status to ongoing on site here , hope all are ready to rumble.
time for a beer. Happy HuntingÂ

Round 1 : 2018 PBEM 2vs2 Tournament #8
In order to avoid advantaging one team or the other, for each match, the team who will host the match was randomly selected.
The first team in the "turn order" above (who is also the team on top in the tree here must host the game).
Any of the players in the team can host.
Tournament Game #8 Round 1 !
When players do not show up for their match, the Tournament Judges have the right to change the match!
the guys can see the advanced rules when they enter the game.
at work right now but can post them to steam later in addition to that one i already linked.
no still have not ascertained the easiest way to post those shots here , it does not seem to simply cut and paste them.
Please post the screenshots here in the blog as well.
is this what is required ?

really all this hassle for that ?
Well, when we play a tournament I'm sure everyone appreciate when there is a "judge" who look after settings etc. so that all have a fair playing field?
To have the same amount of water as diggable walls is not in favor of balance, and can therefore not be accepted as an agreeable change, no matter if the other team agree or not.
Same with lvl 15 instead of 13, there is a reason why it was lowered to 13 from 15. There is many other EQs that can be obtained, so there is still much use for it.Â
Here is the original photo of the geography setting:
Its not a big change that is needed, but this in combination with the wrong hero/leader lvl calls for a rehost.
Unless you have hosted another map with the 2 mods needed, all settings are saved and it would take 1min to rehost the map and take 2 screenshots (hero level plus reducing walls).
just hop in the game or is there still some objection ? i have not rehosted it yet , but honestly why all the damn nitpicking.
i am not attempting to gain any kind of advantage , this is where im fairly certain the approximation is for the rmg to make a good map.
only thing that marcus was pointing out is that the undiggable wall slider is just ever so slightly left of the diggable one.
and ok Lobo if u really don't want the max hero level at 15 i will change it , but what then is the fun of having the Hero Level 15 empire quest.
Hiliadan , i don't have time to read changelogs of most recent changes to balance mod.
I play for fun , don't study every single detail down to the finest point.
and if a 2% wall slider differential is that serious of an issue ....let the other team host it
"2. The settings described in the “In-Game settings†above are to be considered the default. If all the players involve in a game agree, they can arrange settings that differ from default settings in order to improve balance (e.g. if some exploit or imbalance has been discovered during the tournament but has not yet been dealt with the usual balance mod). Judges can oppose the settings change."
Here, I fail to see how keeping diggable wall to 50% improves balance and I think it's the same for Marcus.
If your opponents are fine with it, we might accept it but this setting change does not really seem justified to me.
Regarding the Path of and the rapids, please check the changelog of v1.25: https://docs.google.com/docum... />- Blocked Rivers (rapids) are now generated only as small sections of rivers (about 5 hexes long), and not as long rivers
- Path of xx (Frost, Decay, Life, …) abilities become strategic activable abilities giving the Path for 1 turn
So the mods you suggest are unnecessary.
We received the class/race of both teams.
they can see the sliders , but since this match is between us and them , i will only rehost at their request , if they desire it.
as i also mentioned , may be worth using the no rapids on RMG mod too , or worth consideration. I also feel the the "No path of Anything" is very good mod for pbem , as those fun little trails that units leave on previously explored map sections are quite indicative of troop movements at times , however a smart player could use them also to set traps or mislead opponents etc.  but think better without any paths being left , just my opinion.
Steam screenshots are not the same as a "normal" screenshot, as it only cover the steam application window.
The timestamp of the screenshots are visible though, so that is not a problem. Would still be good if you upload them here in the game blog.
Apart from lvl 15 you also left the slider for diggable walls higher than undiggable walls and at a similar level as water.
This could favor a class/race that can dig through walls.Â
You need to fix those 2 errors and rehost the game.
anyhow other than bumping leader level to 15 accidentally , im pretty sure i got all settings correct.
also NOTED still against using the strong def normal reward mod , i would propose instead we use the no rapids on RMG mod.
if its needed that i rehost let me know , otherwise PW is beer , hop in and lets have a good match lads.

well i don't really know if i did all the screenshots perferct , but they are all in my steam public screenshot porfolio..... i think i posted the needed links
why use empire quests if max hero level can't get to 15 ?
screenshots posted shortly here if i can manage it , or at least links to them published on steam will be here
i have just submitted our leader choice to hiliadan now and will attempt at hosting and publish steam screenshots for you guys to check over.
