H4: your favourite lv2 unit

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

the problem with ballistae is they are too slow on the adv map, but they are extremely useful in siege, i usually don't bring them with a hero and use caravan to move them to the nearest town that i am going to attack.

Me too if possible. And that doesn't make them less useful
In close combat they're not that strong but that's the same with elves. They're not made for anything else but shooting.
I think their strength more than makes up for the low movement.
Mesa like like

[Metathron]

The ghost is really powerful, it gets slaughtered by spells but its aging touch is like four different cursing spells in one.

Well, that's three spells to be exact, but still totally crippling.

medusas: no melee penalty, stone gaze and unlimited ammo makes them a really good shooter (with precision much better )

[Black Ghost]

I just love stack of medusas, and spellcaster hero with potions of mana + Displacement Spell, great combo when you have time-> even garissons full with 3'rd and 4'th lev won't survive:). Unlimited shoots is just one of the best abilities:)

IMO ghosts are an average unit. Despite beeing insubstantial they have little HP so easy to eliminate. Of course Aging and lots of them thanks to necromacny recompensates it, but still suppose cerberus is a bit better

Question: Who or what determines how many shots a creature has?
I've been wondering

[ThunderTitan]

Question: Who or what determines how many shots a creature has?

The guys that made the game do. It's a creature stat. But if you have the Ammo Cart all the shooters have unlimited shots. And the Medusa in H4 has Unlimited Shots as a special.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Yes of course...stupid me.. I guess what I meant to say was: is anything affecting the number of shots a creature has? I.e. If I have 20 elves will they have more shots ( as a whole) than 10 elves would?
Does it make any sense? what I'm saying..
I've never heard of the Ammo Cart but it sounds like a must-have..
Where can I see how many shots the different creatures have?

[ThunderTitan]

Just right click on them. There should be a Shots stat. And the Ammo cart is the only thing that affects the nr of shots a creature has.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Can I see the Ammo Cart in the Editor?

Thanks

[ThunderTitan]

I have no ideea. But it should be somewhere on ur hero.

[Black Ghost]

is in H4 an Ammo Cart artifact? I haven't seen any. Only i remember wood/ore ones, but they give resources.
About what ammo cart are you talking about TT? I suppose h1-3, right?

[klaymen]

in "normal"H4 isn't ammo cart, maybe in Equilibris

[ThunderTitan]

Yeah. I forgot there isn't one in H4. Been playing too much H3 lately.

[Milla aka. the Slayer]

Yeah. I forgot there isn't one in H4. Been playing too much H3 lately.

How annoying...was just looking forward to finding it

[BDragon]

Yes Medusa is the best attack range unlimit....

[BenchBreaker]

ammo cart would be broken, along with quicksand/water elemetal spells shooters would be able to beat a much bigger army of walkers.

[Grey Pilgrim]

Going back to the topic...

I like the elves/tigers, and try to get them both if I can (different builds in different cities, or from outside creature dwellings). Sometimes it's fun to play with ALL a faction's choices of armies.

The petrification
Sometimes kills more L4 than the shot itself

[Le_Faucheur]

voted medusa/minotaur
because of the very powerful power of the medusa.

also like the balista for his strenght,and the pikeman who has really great hability,but the ballista is to slow.

gold golem are extremly strong,and beholder are a pain!
