Silver tongue seems a bit weak, 130 Influence for a single trained unit, its even resistible. How about making it effect champions, although for a higher price (depending on lvl)?

On the other side, the Broken Loyalties is too strong, getting a city for 500 Influence is so much easier than conquering them, since you upgraded their defenses. Is it possible to make the influence cost dependant on the city level? Maybe 250 Inf for a lvl 1 city and than doubling the cost for every city-level (250 / 500 / 1000 / 2000 / 4000) ?

Playing Tarth my sovereign only have 2 moves, even though "Master Scouts" states I get +1 move, (But when I hover over my Movement points, it says I gain +1% moves)

Stacking issue added to the next update fix list.

Haste and Slow are intended to be temporary spells. I will make sure the tooltip mentions it.

Dodge problems would be a vanilla game problem. I have not personally noticed any issues. Evade is indeed intended as a temporary defensive spell. One thing to know about maul is that it no longer subtracts accuracy. Instead, we have it set up to multiply accuracy by .75. That creates a slightly more uses trend of reduced accuracy so that units with high accuracy are not getting dozens of strikes. But your example does seem to be unlikely regardless. Nothing I can do about it I am sorry to say.

As to moves, the extra 1% is supposed to allow an extra move. Is it rounding down so that you don't get it? I had the idea, but have yet to test it. Seems like it's not working.

The Hp thing is temporary. I used the ElementalDefs global Hp bonus setting to add 6Hp to all units. Unfortunately this bonus is not added to the base Hp tooltip. The solution is to add Hp in CoreUnitstats. But doing that only affects trained units. I will also have to add 6Hp to every monster one at a time. It's something that we are working on, but as long as you know why you and everyone else is getting the Hp, not a major priority. I suspect that they could hook this tag into the tooltip, but since the vanilla game doesn't use it, they left it behind.

Thanks for all the bug posts and letting us know what is incorrectly described everyone. I'll try to get these fixed soon.

Arcane Bolt is *way* too powerful. 5 Mana for a spell that easily does 300+ damage, with no cooldown or casting time? It's ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if there's something going wrong in the damage calcs - probably something to do with the damage bonuses from things like Archmage and Evoker traits. I mean, it's doing 20x my sovereign's level in damage. Doesn't seem right.

Also: Way too many bugged tooltips. When you add in new GameModifiers, always remember to add the <Provides> attribute! It looks like just about all of them that you added to the game lack that.

I'm still wondering how powerful my Rogue with the "Sure Fire" ability will be with a Greatsword. If it really works the way you describe with a constant 75% accuracy penalty

Changing 100's of XML entries isn't too bad if you use a good text editor with good find and replace features. Using the right tools can allow you to do something like that quickly. I spent a little time looking and I found a plugin for Sublime Text 2 (my preferred editor) that can increment or decrement all found matches.

Also I'd like to report that I casted Hold on a bear, but the bear was still able to attack me while the spell was in effect.

Also, bears are able to switch targets and continue attacking after killing one of my heroes. Is this intended?

Here's some feedback.

Playing Tarth, I'm now ~200 turns in the game, normal world, challenging AI. I had no metal til around 150 turns and sparse crystal due to strong monster lairs right by the Crystal Crag. That would've been a problem if I wasn't playing Tarth .

The early game was hard due to 3 Troll lairs in my part of the world. My first hero has 5-6 wounds and really suffered (now he has path of barbarian and 125 HP so things are better, but for a while he was close to useless), my dodging spearmen didn't really dodge anything but things greatly improved when I built archers. But even then, every battle against troll armies was a close thing, especially when they had Shamen.

I have 7 cities, cleared the Troll lairs (some battles were really epic) and killed all weaker monsters. Now I have to decide where and how to expand next, and an Ogre lair is close by, generating big armies which is awesome.

Now some observations and suggestions:

- Corpse Spider has race: Men

- Umberdroths are too weak. After all the trouble with Trolls, I killed 3 Umberdroths without breaking a sweat. I'd suggest you improve their stats considerably.

- Cave Bear lair doesn't seem to improve or generate additional bears. There are only 3 bears sitting there. Is this intended? By the way, battle against them was great and I nearly lost it due to maul and sick bear HP.

- Dodge doesn't seem to make much difference. I haven't noticed units that I designed as great dodgers to behave better than units with 0 dodge.

- Heroes are too cheap. And very much so. Level 7 or 9s for 5 or 7 gildar. I don't like that. Now I have 6 quite powerful heroes and I bought them for almost nothing. Also, I think they're slightly too many of them around, especially since AI cannot kill them due to their powerful armies.

All in all, I'm enjoying the game. Archers are kings so far against monsters, but I still need meatshields in front of them and still usually lose at least one group due to fast monsters. I'm looking forward the war against AI and siege.

I have the very same feeling ...

Dodge starts to be noticeable when you have over 50 of dodge, under that: no impact whatsoever.AI's troops, however, a little dodge they have and immediately you start to miss them frequently.I also realize that my lord Vega with accuracy over 120 still misses from time to time a troops with dodge 0 ...

And it was not like that before. I remembering Vega when he had equip giving him +5 dodge, suddenly from time to time he will start to dodge (since battles are looooong lots hits are dealt even small things start to be noticable). In my present game he has dodge 12 and i still have to see him dodge once.

I made mistake, so here i just correct myself: spell focus does not add you any spell mastery at the moment. An icon on a picture of a hero shows that it has focus, tool-tip says that it has focus cast on, but in information spell power remains the same. Also when i cast it by mage who has normally spell power 50 on 7 units i usually get 3-5 resists, though enemy has no res. With focus i should hit 6-7 of them easily and regularly. Right now, whether i cast it, or not, does not make any difference.

When I have dodge with this mod it seems to work, you guys care to describe what heroes you are using, or where you are getting the dodge from? These things could be the key factor.

The game states "Dodged" when the attack misses for whatever reason, if you have 0 dodge, and the enemy is blinded, the game will say "Dodged" alot since the enemy will have little to no accuracy.

This is vanilla problem .... If you have more than one attack / turn militia sometimes shows up, sometimes not.On the other hand, when i attack a city, they are always there I guess that cannot me moded...

What matters the most is the enemy's accuracy. The Dodge value is simply subtracted from the Accuracy of your enemy. If they have 112 Accuracy, your Dodge is irrelevant. What you might be experiencing is the fact that all units get +3 Accuracy per level in this version. I think the vanilla is down to 1 per level. Dodge is in no way balanced or fair in the vanilla, which is why I have this one set up the way I do. Dodge is essentially a defense that diminishes in value against high level units.

Yup. That's why i am now clicking non-stop on and checking dodge/accuracy values of units. 

3% chance of missing always regardless of accuracy/dodge stats explains some cases, but not all. Problem now is that there is no point at all to choose any dodge perks for units. You can as well remove them from game, because why should i choose them? Whether my dodge is 0 or 20 there is no noticeable difference at all, also in early game stage.  As you also admit, for the high level units it is even more irrelevant. And i am talking about enemies that have accuracy of 80 ... On the other hand, i agree, in vanilla dodge/accuracy mechanics could easily be abused, and were abused. The point is to find a balance, that dodge is a viable strategy but not an overkill. Interesting thing enough is, that it works for AI. I feel a big difference when facing wolves with dodge of 20, they are really annoying at times, but not too much. My troops, however, having the same dodge are being happily pounded. Again, both wolves and my troops have the same accuracy. 

 I think it is problem with vanila, b/c it started after the very last update. 

And when you are playing insane world, and facing a 1000hp units battles last looooong enough to start to pay attention to this kind of details
