Yes, "Epic" is the better name, and that's a real good idea to forge 2 legendaries to try it rather than finding them - as there needs to be that risk/reward system. Any thoughts from Foursaken on this? Is it worth upping the potential rune level? Or any opinion on rune screen changes or anything rune-related etc. Always interested to hear your opinion!
I reckon play 5+ levels with each, then find your favourite based on that taster. If you want to unlock the new ones, it won't take long to farm crystals to do that. Upgrading of units and castle carries across all heroes so it won't be time/effort wasted. Plus any runes you find are in a common pool, so again not restricted to one hero. These are 2 very well thought of aspects of the game by the Devs. You might end up liking all the heroes so you'd want to regularly play them all, and then have literally hundreds of hours play time ahead. I'm focussing on just ranger at the moment, exclusively, and no sign of getting bored of just this one hero yet. I guess the important thing is that you've got the game!!!
I should probably do some work and get off this forum during the day! It's Foursaken's fault really, wonder if I can bring a legal action against them for making me waste my day, and then spend that money on crystal packs!
Ha ha! I'd accept a special +15 gold / + 150 damage legendary rune from them instead. Actually, why not add + 100% critical to that request too!
Really? Want to play a match against my mage?E Because I still haven't lost playing on good, but I don't play that much versus as it is boring with the imbalance and lag prone. I've just been waiting for the update.
I wouldn't test that too much Shutting off the game during a play session has a chance to permanently disrupt your data... it may not happen 99/100 times, but I wouldn't risk it, just FYI. A few crashes have been fixed up for this update as well... there was a major crash with siege, and a relatively frequent/major one related to dirt explosions (which happen frequently). Yeah... but if you're the top player, you should win equally, just as easily with Evil as with Good... thats the balance we're working towards. If you can beat 1400 level players without blinking with your Good hero, you should be able to do the same with Evil (assuming you know the team as well). Of course its not that black and white because of different strategies required, etc, but you get the idea. Oh, and protip... the counter to Mage (in next update) will be Mummy, if you can believe it I doubt there will ever be anything more powerful than a legendary... Runes were always supposed to be a "nice little bonus". Legendaries are already more than that, and we don't want to tilt the balance of a hero to be so much in favor of what Rune they have equipped that their level hardly even matters... I'm afraid it would become even more like that with more powerful runes. That's not to say we would never add additional effects, they would just be different, not necessarily better or worse.
Can someone please help me with level 19? Been stuck it for days now. I have googled this forum for tips and so far hasn't worked yet. Most of the people who have beaten it also tend to have very nice runes (e.g. +70 starting) and I am still using the common runes I received during the game. I have been trying to beat this level with a 15 knight or 14 paladin. With the knight I kite and try to use balista and rifleman, but they die so fast whenever my taunt is on cd. With paladin I use maxed pikeman and captain and they get creamed fairly quickly. I can't really get to +5 goldmine either bcus its far harder to attract enemies as a paladin to lure them away from the wars. Any advices would be appreciated. Also what are some must have upgrades? So far I have maxed, gold mine, pikeman, giants , captain, stonewall and steel wall thanks
A couple repairman should help with your towers not being destroyed. A Longbeard will help your riflemen do more damage.
Immediately get up as many gold mines as you can hold, go straight to steel walls, ballistae, riflemen and blunderbusses with longbeardmen, dwarven hut, forge and captains tent. Kite the big guys horizontally across the blunderbusses' max range as much as you can and let your units do the work.
I would suggest leveling up your characters more. I beat level 19 with a level 21 knight without summoning any troops. Plus the extra experience you gain in running previous levels for experience points will help
Random question Anyone know the defense level cut off? I've got a knight who's currently touching 66 def, non rune, and I'm looking to see just how low I can get damaged.... Those skeleton elites still hit me around 30 per hit ATM
They probably have armor pierce. I think Foursaken said it reduces your armor by a fraction. So like .3 armor pierce would reduce your armor by 30%. 30 per hit sounds close to what they normally hit for, maybe it's a super high armor pierce?
Exactly what I was wondering. Also, does anyone have like a chart of numbers like how much health/damage/armor etc. each enemy has? I know there was something like that for Bug Heroes...
this is pretty much what I am already doing with my knight I get to +5 gold, then stone wall --> steel wall by the time that's all done, the enemies will be hitting my wall and lots of my gold were spent on repairing it. This makes it really hard for me to add troops. At the end the long range bomber would destroy my gold mines and then its gg. Is there anything that I am doing wrong? I guess I can try play coop and hope to earn a good rune. I played one yesterday but it crashed.
I just realized I haven't been playing ANYTHING but Heroes and Castles since it's release. Nothing has captured my attention like this since Bug Heroes. Man, GOTY for me so far, don't think anything can top this!!
Well, normal games only keep me playing for a few weeks or months at most. This will probably take up my whole year to level up every hero to level 99 because of all the new content and campaign. Which is pretty damn amazing then Block Fortress.... Man these guys are freaking awesome
