Pre-reset updates (Page 1 of 2)

Please do some testing on test server, expecially the fear spell. I've added a few logs to find out if weird things happen during the fight check.

im assuming the OP worth has been implemented on testing cause my op value jumped nearly 3k but demons didn't...but he is also in vmode

Just seems it would make sense that supporting troops would choose to go home before they would choose to starve.  I would rather not have to get into the an argument with someone because they sent their troops over to eat my food, then my troops die of starvation.

If someone sends me unsolicited support, I would want their troops to die before mine.  If someone asked me for support, and didnt have the food to feed them, I would want their troops to die before mine.  (there is a pattern there)  I just think the cleanest fix is a forced send back of troops before starving anyone.  That way it will always be the village that fails to generate enough food to be the one that suffers the starvation deaths.

Oh thinking of honour loss, is it possible to give it a bit more penalty for big players with a lot of op's ??

Killing troops when there is no food should be implemented on testing.
First it sends the supporting units home and after that it starts killing troops you own.

Please test

wow food consumption is now off the charts....out of curiousity what is the dark elves fod cinsumption per unit(should be at least doubled)

well it would make sense if you had food stocks then why would people be dieing of hunger? and to clarify my previous question what is the dark elves consumption per unit type

wow sucks even more to be human now with twice the troops count...i see the point in increasing the food consumption to make water runes be used for food more, but seriously this is another huge disadvantage for humans atm. theres a reason we need twice as many troops(and its evendent when you look at the stats for gual and knights side by side) now are only minor advantage has turned into a serious flaw, we are now hindered to using more water runes for farms then stables and elves don't have to. my beta troop count of a village

540 knights -    8100 consumption
1520 longswordmen  -  13680

equal dark elf army ( half the total unit count)

270  - 4860
760 - 9120

before this "update" my consumption was around 7000 now its an ungodly 21,780.. if this wasn't "no one to kill must be resource hog beta" id be screwed.. even with production at roughly 24k i have to keep both villages constantly in rain season just to stay out of the negatices while i slowllllllly upgrade my farms(and i will be for the foreseeable future)

all this has done at the stage it is now is make being human that much shittier why pay twice the consumption for inferior troops when you can have half the standing army at a fraction of the cost and more deadly? if your going to keep these numbers humans at least need a MAJOR farm production advantage

atm in beta im crippled by this consumption, rune searches are going to take 5 times as long, i may have the number 1 village but i wont for long when demon can now pump out more rune searches then i can because i am hindered by a huge consumption bil where it affected him but not to the extent it would have for me(relatively speaking).. i should NEVER have a higher stone and wood production then food, ever, and i do now...for quite awhile

I agree with no support for a village with a negative food income, but atm with the astronomical consumption increase it would be hard to keep troops garrisoned for a duration even with a nice stockpile, you could also make it that support troops eat a percentage more from a tireless journey

If you start to kill troops when negative production, that would mean little villages will be practically unprotected when some guy comes along and poisons them when they already have a low production as is. Also not being able to get troops at negative production would mean stronger or bigger villages could poison the smaller making them not able to get support. It would be another way to make people not want to play especially newer people. The support troops eat crop so sending crop to support those troops would make sense. It is already like that in most games. I do agree the humans totally have most disadvantages with their units and consumption rates. Dark Elves being still over advantaged to humans by way to much. Forcing dark elves however to build more farms instead of so many stables isn't such a terrible thing when they are the most used strong force in the game.

you would think logivally humans have twice as many troops as elves so that shuld mean they are a plentiful race so to help balance huumans out some they should get a forced labor perk where all reszources gain a 25% bonus or something
