What do you think is the most competitive setup of a random map for 1v1? I can't decide which size will be the best. For example if you have to organize a tournament tomorrow what would be the characteristics of your random map?

Just wondering what else can be added to the game ? Any features that are still missing and are possible to be implemented ? Maybe new creatures or something else ?

Perhaps week themes should be more dynamic.
There are no neutral weeks, some faction based, some non-faction based effects.
Penalty/blessing for non-magic ranged units.
Penalty/blessing for magic ranged units.
Penalty/blessing for all blunt melee units.
Penalty/blessing for all sword melee units.
Penalty for all ethereal units and all units that use some sort of ethereal-incorporealism ability or effect.
Penalty for all summoned creatures.
Random Sphinx messages in the Taverns that will imply that Sphinx is responsible for new penalties and blessings.

AFAIK, the special weeks are not able to be changed or added to. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they are hard-coded.

When I Choose casual game option sometimes selected hero receives minor artifact and sometimes not. I presume that receiving minor artifact isn’t part of the casual game option.

magnomagus said: Weeks are hardcoded yes.
Casual means random bonus, just because Quantomas added the UI element there.
Ah, yes I read the text now.
The AI starts with equal resources and doesn’t receive extra creatures to make up for losses in quick-combat. Rush discounts can still be activated. Every player receives a random starting bonus.
I guess I didn’t expect random starting bonus combined with clean start AI.
It’s kind of a heretic, I guess that’s why I didn’t see it.

Perhaps heroes starting with basic war machines as primary skill and with ballista specialization perk, should have ballista in their inventory. That how they would have more chance to be secondary choice, and players could allow themselves to be more acquainted with war machines skill.
Perhaps it would be nice to have more than two hero selection slot in tavern? Two for “home” faction and one for other factions. If possible of course.

@Skeggy, balista-perk heroes do not start with Balista for balance reasons (too easy to grind). The player needs to invest some gold for it.
As far as I remember there was a request for more hero slots but it is not possible due to being hardcodded.

First off, I just wanted to thank you for creating such an awesome Mod. I've been watching LPs of it on Youtube, waiting for my friend to give me back my copy of ToE. Can't wait to have this Mod in my game.
One thing I noticed in those LPs though. On Siege Battles, the Walls didn't go all the way to the end of the battlefield the way they did in the Original Game. Is this because the Battle Fields are larger now? Is there a fix to this? Thanks!

The siege map is right, I know. I think he means the walls going on outside the battlefield.

I have a little problem with the translation. Can somebody explain to me in simple way the fallowing sentence:
"Spellpower is also Decreased by 25% for every level a spell ends up below level none."
I'm not sure what is mean.
This is part of the description of all shatter skills (ver. RC8).

Imagine this.
Fireball with no destructive mastery is level 0
fireball with basic destructive mastery is level 1
fireball with advanced destructive mastery is level 2
fireball with expert destructive mastery is level 3
Expert Shatter destruction reduces all destructive spells by 2 mastery levels.
so Expert (3) becomes basic (1).
Advanced (2) becomes no mastery (0).
Basic (1) becomes no mastery (0) as Expert says it always drops 2 levels fireball actually goes to mastery level -1.
for each level below 0 spellpower used for fireball calculation drops by 25%.
So if you have fireball with no mastery (0) and the opponent has expert shatter destruction. Fireball mastery level will drop to -2 which will decrease its damage output by 50%.

Of course, the only ways to get Fireball at 0 mastery is to have Sorcery - Wisdom, or the Tome of Destruction, since normally you wouldn't have a mastery under 1 for a third level spell. Fourth level spells can only have a mastery of 0 if you have either have Sorcery - Wisdom AND the artifact which allows you to learn fourth level spells with Wisdom, OR a Tome of that school type. And fifth level spells with a mastery of 0 are only possible with the Tome of that school type.
All this, at least AFAIK.
