In my MP games, the mage towers seem to focus on Nature and Dark magic, with Light magic spells getting available usually only with the library. Higher Destruction spells are rarity http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/spells.shtml says Academy is lightie-summonic. Funny that just yesterday...

In my MP games, the mage towers seem to focus on Nature and Dark magic, with Light magic spells getting available usually only with the library. Higher Destruction spells are rarity, a 4th tier spell like meteor shower might even not show up in the second town... A shame really, as Academy heroes ar...

I finished Oblivion as an archer as I've written above, he was lvl 26 when it was done, and he was strong, very strong. Yes, I had to backtrack while shooting arrows but my wood elf character wasn't going to take on Earth Elementals in close combat, that was the whole point.. Marksmanship is a great...

Thank you for correcting me Sir_Toejam, I haven't played against a Warlock yet in 1.2, that is some news you have there, a relief actually :) .. I was hoping to post another message about possible strategies of expansion and town management according to the map size and your opponents, but apparentl...

Holding back Furies might seem like a good idea, however, in practice it doesn't work very well, as the game is usually not decided in the final battle, but in the first several ones. If your main hero gets caught when he is weak because you were holding back troops, then you are royally screwed; as...

Well it is not very 'brutish' or conqueror-like perhaps, but you might want to have a bow that would help you pick baddies one by one in a group; the usual 'fire an arrow, aggrevate the unfortunate guy, and change to melee to change his anatomy' tactic.. You can change your skill distributions, you ...

There should be an Academy tactics topic around here, but thank you for the good tips; though I'd like to note some points for people that might try multiplaying with Academy.. - Don't pick up Jhora if you play MP; fair or not, strategy or not, people will almost always call you a 'cheap b..rd' :hoo...

Enemies that level up along with me is fine in my opinion, this game is easy as it is, at least harder enemies provide some challenge.. However, Bethesda should have realized the real problem in that, the ease of getting great loot as you go along. You never ever have any difficulty in employing the...

I hope, at least in NWN II, they remember the little class named Sorcerer/ess... The first game and its expansions were simply made with wizards in mind for spellcaster equipment. It wasn't fair to have ~25 charisma when mages could easily have 40+ intelligence (one of the expansions had a ring givi...

You mean Kyle Katarn from the Dark Forces series? He was a cool character with a nice background story which tied nicely along with the SW movies. Thanks to him, Leia got the Death Star plans ;) Exactly.. In Dark Forces Kyle Katarn was a mercenary, an old Empire spec ops lieutenant if I'm not mista...

Well you should've, that's why it is there; not because undead units are stronger than their living counterparts, but because you can skip leadership altogether as a necromancer (which I believe is a great bonus).. The only time a necro may need the leadership bonus might be in a huge map where he ...

the leadership nullifies the negative moral modifier on the alive units to balance it out. then again i never tried to use the undead transformer thingy.. lmao yes, i noobed out.

Serious Sam was old school fps, like Doom, where you aren't bogged with a story but with countless monsters. SS was a little over the top in the monster count though, I remember a boss fight (in the first one I believe) where I didn't take my finger from fire for minutes (literally), just kept chang...

I would imagine so :D. My CS course was a breeze (and i spent a good deal of the time at the pub as well) but this was 7 years ago, and things have probably changed - not to mention that you are studying in the US and I did my time here (which is in Western Australia, if you didn't know) CS and pub...
