PLENTY questions

[Rainalkar]

Don't be intimadated, and don't think that I'm some lazy that wants you to test something for him - if it happens you know the answer to some of the questions - great.

Is the formula for luck/morale known, and what is the max/min luck/morale that you can have?

What is the chance for shield bash (squires and footmen)?

What is the chance for Unicorn's blind and what are it's properties (I heard that it's SP8, so 2 turns?)?

Formula for explosion damage of horned overseers?

Nightmare's Fear chance?

Fireshield damage of Fire Elementals?

Does archangels' ressurection equal 100 hp per archangel?

Warding arrow chance?

How does retribution work?

How does Banshee/Benedection hero special work?

Damage formula for ballista (and for Iron Maiden specialty)?

Heal formula for First Aid Tent (concerning the skill and specialty)?

How does Spellwringer work (chances)?

Coven Mistress special?

Poison Master special?

Catalyst special (how does reduction scale)?

Spell twister chance and functioning?



That's it for know

Is the formula for luck/morale known, and what is the max/min luck/morale that you can have?

Morale and luck are capped at 5. My guess is the it is 5% per point of morale/luck.

What is the chance for Unicorn's blind and what are it's properties (I heard that it's SP8, so 2 turns?)?

The spellpower is 8, but I don't know what the chance is.

Warding arrow chance?

Not sure but I think it's 10% per shot.

Poison Master special?

Probability:10% + 1% per level. I don't know about the damage it inflicts.

Catalyst special (how does reduction scale)?

Reduces:10% + 2% per level.

Spell twister chance and functioning?

Probability: 40% + 2% per level.
If the enemy's spell is deflected then there is a chance (40% + 2% per level) that the spell will be deflected towards an enemy unit instead of your units.

Note: Data was taken from the defaultstats.xdb in the gamemechanics folder of the patch 1.1 p0-data.pak file.

Formula for explosion damage of horned overseers?

damage = 9 + 9 * SP

SP= trunc(9,12*ln(1+stack_size/15))-1 if outcome < 1 then SP = 1. (this eq MAY give some 1 point difference at certain stack sizes. cannot test them all)

Does archangels' ressurection equal 100 hp per archangel?

yes

Fire elemental fireshield: melee attacker takes damage equal to 20% of the damage he deals.

Thank you people.

[Cunning Death]

I was just wondering where do you know these formulae from?
What's your source?

Well you must have great insight because I have only conluded small amount of info by myself, for. ex. luck and morale caps. (and that's why necro ultimate gives -6 morale )

If you did ask me, the my source is my experiences with the game.

Really?How many times do you test your observations then,because those functions are non linear?And how do you manage it without the map editor?

In a multiplayer, hotseat map it is relatively easy to test this stuff.

1) Make all players human
2) Choose the faction(s) needed for the test(s) (whether for hero type, creature type, or magic school type).
3) Have the players cooperate to get all resources available to acquire buildings needed for test items.
4) after building everything up, save.
5) run controlled experiments with whatever hero/creature/skill/spell combinations you want!

[DaemianLucifer]

Isnt the maximum for luck and morale 10?

[Gus]

In my experience, it's been capped to 5.

[ThunderTitan]

Another aplication of the rule? Damn uninformative inteface.

[Rainalkar]

How do they work...

Mark of the Damned (formula)

Consume corpse (how much mana/damage with Soulfire)

Hellfire (and with Hellwrath/Searing Fires)

Fiery Wrath

Spirit link

Cold Death

Cold steel/Chilling bones

Plague tent

Flaming Arrows

Battle Commander (how many dancers, is it the same as Haunted Mines/ghosts)?

That's it, thanks.

Check the skill circle or something.. it's on this site. Explenations are given

[Rainalkar]

Don't worry, I am not that kind of a person who just sits and waits for the answers, I have checked it, but the descriptions are totaly vague and do not state any of the questions I asked (I am not asking for descriptions, but how does something work mathematicaly, if someone knows).

playing the campaign (sylvan)
on patch 1.0 I've got nothing ;]

[Gus]

Anyone knows about Retribution? I've read on another forum that it looked like a +X/2 to your min and max damage, where X is the creature's morale modifier, but i have taken it twice now and i don't see the damage increase on the creature's info in combat. Also, the damage i inflict seems to be consistent with the written info (that is, it doesn't include Retribution's bonus).
Anyone has a clue ?

[Rainalkar]

So far no answers for the second (group of ) questions... Anyone perhaps knows some way to figure this by oneself?

[vicheron]

Warding arrow chance?

It seems to be dependent upon the number of Hunters vs. the number of creatures in the target stack.

How does retribution work?

From what I can tell, +5% damage per point of morale.

How does Banshee/Benedection hero special work?

Morale and Luck increase/reduction increased to 2, duration is increased based on hero level.

Damage formula for ballista (and for Iron Maiden specialty)?

I think it's 1 - 2/hero level without War machines, 2 - 4/hero level for Basic War Machines, 2 - 5/hero level for Advanced War Machines, and 5/hero level for Expert War Machines. There seems to be a bit of extra damage in there but I don't know how that's calculated, I think there's a damage bonus every 5 levels or so. For Iron Maiden, it's just the Fireball spell at expert level with 2 spell power + 1 spell power/4 hero levels.

Heal formula for First Aid Tent (concerning the skill and specialty)?

10 - no War Machines skill
25 - Basic War Machines
50 - Advanced War Machines
100 - Expert War Machines

[DaemianLucifer]

Its actually -1 to morale and luck for banshee,and - 10% to initiative.Benediction gives +2 to morale and luck,but I dont know how much it gives to initiative.Its probably 10% as well.
