New Faction?

Unread postby Elwin » 10 Sep 2006, 00:46

Well, it would sure ruin some parts of the game, but Heroes IV seriously needs another alignment. Suggestions?

that will be very hard, because there are some friendly allignments (you can see them in tavern) so placing a new one .....hmmm very hard task

When you look at some of the hidden objects in the current H-IV editor, there is an additional city icon that reads remove when placed on the map. It seems obvious 3DO/NWC was working on an additional city, but alas funds were unavailable to finish it.

I suspect that the amount of work required is too much to ask a project that is privately funded and work accomplished only as real world commitments allow. I would be happy if they would release what they currently have.

As have as rebalancing, the faction could be completely neutral with no changing of the current setup (somewhat similar to the Elemental faction in H-III), however it would need some handicapping to make it competitive.

think that maybe because in Heroes 4 the factions got mixed up....like chaos is a combination of Fortress....and inferno and dungeon, so we need a totally original one. Not Conflux......? Or maybe....my ruins alignment (from my heroes 5 gamefaqs post board).

the town item your thinking about that's in the editor but not in the game is the outpost town. it was origionally planned to be a neutral town that doesn't have any faction and when a player aquired it they could then select a faction.

I was aware it was the outpost, but I was not aware of any characterisitics.

Us faithful Equilibris fans have been patiently waiting for the release of Equilibris 3.6 for more than a year. Hopefully, the Equi Team will finish what they are working on and release it BEFORE beginning any new projects. Please release Equilibris 3.6 soon. Thanks. :)

Idea For New Faction

Unread postby TheUnknown » 15 Oct 2006, 19:05

First of all I don't think adding new factions to H4 is important, H4 needs balancement in minor aspects, repairing some bugs and improving other esthetics ok ok and the AI but I had a nice idea about a new town and I tought I shoud share it :D

The new town type will be opossite of might, you will be able to buy only magic heroes. Will have a blacksmith in which you may buy potions and scrolls for learning spells (every weak the scrolls should change, maybe 2 weeks :) ). It's special building will be like the magic dampender but it will decrease the resistance of enemy creatures and heroes or will increase the efect of all spells of all frendly heroes and creatures B-) . Other special building can be a university where you'll be offered one skill from nobility, one of tactics, one of combat and one of scouting.
Becose you'll not be able to buy tactician, creatures will be less dependable from tactics, change for nobility will be the special buliding(improves efects of magic). There will be creatures like evil sorceres, dark champions goblin knights, ice demons, evil eyes, mermaids, peasants, pirates. Some other neutral and/or summoned creatures may replace this ones for balance issues. -Neutral Town hehe
I proposed these creatures becose adding new creatures to H4 is rather hard otherwise there would have been something like:
lvl 1 DD spellcaster :D other lvl 1 support and curse caster (spiritual armor, mass celestial armor and chocking cloud (like the potion) mass disrupting ray if possible) lvl 2 unit that will have fire aura always cast on them, sparks (maybe should have mire too) other lvl 2 that would be able to cast mass heal, regeneration, PLAGUE, poison. Then there will be lvl 3 with the summoning spells from nature (may have giant strength on them) other lvl 3 creature with the summoning spells from death, should also have insupstancial ability. One of lvl 4 should have steal all enchancements, fireball, fire ring, inferno, ice and fire bolt (bolts becose StealAllEnch. is very strong, may also have town portal ;| ) other lvl 4 will be imune to magic and after the attack will cast canceletion and lightning like the thunderbirds but becose they would grow 2 on week their thunder will be weaker (this is naturaly but if you build the special building the thunder would be stronger). Some of this creatures may be good fighter besides having spells something similar to the ogre mage.
-Spiritual Town spiritual becose they dont relly on their might but on magic which is spiritual power :proud:

The only problem with this town will be the creatures statistics (you'll have to get a tactician and nobility but even then their statistics will be below average). ok ok dark champions are super strong :) but their growth should be 1.5 BTW I think they should have less spell points.
BTW might should have something like scroll shop in the town or maybe better resistance.
You can make nice strategies in any town but there will be "moral" :loll: problems with the neutral town.

A pure magic alignment as opposite to the might alignment is the only logical alignment extension. Could be useful.

Right now there are 1 Might Faction and 5 Magic Faction (neither of theme can survive long without magic).

beautiful lich to necropole
level 1,2,3 to barbarians
add tgs and wow creatures...... (darck champions, big gobelins.....)

These 5 factions are no magic factions. They are a mixture of might and magic factions. And they all won't survive long without the other part.

A pure magic faction should be a faction that can survive without might, just with magic. A pure magic faction as opposite to the might faction.

@pacobac: Indeed, it is not really needed, but it could be nice. And it would have some logic. So if it is possible, why not. And btw that would need some more creatures. Some magical creatures.

A pure magic faction should be a faction that can survive without might, just with magic. A pure magic faction as opposite to the might faction.
Neither can't Stronghold survive without magic. Stronghold is with a reason declared the weakest faction of theme all.

While ballance betewen Might and Magic is more ballanced in H4 then in H3&5, Magic can survive easily without Might heroes can survive without might. Every time I play H4 (with any faction) I play a pure magic and just sometimes pure might.

I would rather like that Stronghold got at least some magic (Mages Guild (random spells) until lv. 3 perhaps?). Then it could finally be playable.

i don't think they should get magic... their heroes just need to get stronger. Or maybe the building costs should be lower.

Sincerely... if might heroes get a little stronger you will be able to do the whole map just with them.

That depends on map size. If they are speedy enough, yes. I recently played the "Elvin and Shaera" campaign a more barbarian like way, and elvin alone won against about 30 hydras and 40 effreeti (a neutral stack without hero). It was a combination of optimum morale, some defense boosting artifacts, the flame sword, some spells (1. dragon strength, 2. regenerate, 3. revenge), much healing potions and gm combat and gem melee. O.k., a barbarian would not get these magic skills, but still...

Well... I think that giving them some interesting items to compensate magic would do the trick.

What about a Potion of Regeneration: regenerates x per hero level for 3 rounds?
