HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC 3 SKILLS UPGRADE

Also, I believe it to be balanced since it's definitely an important upgrade but at level 15 we deal with the latter stages of the game. An increase to 5 will equate to 25% more land movement which I believe is pretty solid. I would have Pathfinding being the tier 2 skill and I would make Logistics with an increase of the hero's land movement to 5 as the tier 3 skill of the chain. I would make Snatch the tier 1 skill since it's usually the one not chosen for main heroes and it influences the most the initial stage of the game. Snatch, Logistics, Pathfinding: I believe that Snatch, Logistics and Pathfinding go hand-in-hand and make for a nice chain of skills (lvl 1, lvl 5, lvl 15) with small modifications for Logistics. The tier 1 skill should give an extra 5% luck chance, the tier 2 an extra 10% and the tier 3 an extra 15%. I will not split the analysis into 3 since the same modifications will have to be made as for the Charismatic Leader. If this turns out to be too high, change the morale effects not from these skills but from the other parts that influence it (reduce base morale of units etc).ĭestiny's Chosen: analogous to Charismatic Leader for luck. Overall the charismatic leader skills will add up to an increase of 30% percent morale. I would change it to give an additional 15% morale chance. I wonder who will chose such a tier 3 skill since most tier 1 skills are better than this. I would change it to give an additional 10% morale chance.Ĭharismatic Leader III: this one gives a slightly bigger increase, 3% lol. I would say that more appropriate would be an increase of 5% at least.Ĭharismatic Leader II: The same as for Charismatic Leader I. It's a neutral skill which means it's not affected by reputation and has the effect of adding 2% chance to your hero's army. I would change it to +3/4/5 might power, equivalent to +7.5%/10%/12.5% extra might damage.Ĭharismatic Leader I: competing with pretty much success at the title of the weakest tier 1 skill. I would change it to +2/3/4 might power, equivalent to +5%/7.5%/10% extra might damage.Īssailant 3: average to weak tier 3 skill, the same analysis holds as for Defender 3. Ideally, I would have it 4%, 5%, 6% might damage increase.Īssailant 2: average to weak tier 2 skill, the same analysis holds as for Defender 2. However, I find no way of improving the skill without getting into other issues unless we change the skill considerably: to give it direct damage alteration like it was in older installments (increase damage by 5% percent) instead of increasing the damage indirectly trough the stats of the hero. I would say that this skill is fine with maybe the 2.5% value being too low. Also it affects only the might damage.Īssailant 1: tier 1 skill that has the effect of increasing the hero's might power by +1, +2, +3 (equivalent to increasing might damage to 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%) depending on the hero's reputation (no reputation or tears reputation/level 1 blood reputation/level 2 blood reputation). It might seem too powerful but remember it is a tier 3 skill and competes with skills like cleave, heroic charge, intimidation. I would change it to +6/7/8 defense depending on the reputation, equivalent to an extra 12%/14%/16% might damage reduction. I would change it to +4/5/6 defense depending on the reputation, equivalent to an extra 8%/10%/12% might damage reduction.ĭefender 3: I will not repeat myself, everything I said for Defender 2 is even more suitable for this level 15 skill. Another design inconsistency is the fact that its power does not depend on the reputation. I would say that more appropriate would be the 4%, 6% and 8% reduction (+2, +3, +4).ĭefender 2: tier 2 skill that has the effect of reducing might damage further with 4% (+2 might defense). This balancing thing is way ahead of our times (important amount of bug-fixing is still to be made and honestly I don't think it will be over before v1.4) but discussing it doesn't harm anyone.įirst of all, as I stated in different occasions, I believe that the Heroes 5 skill system is vastly superior but I assume things will not change so drastically so I would try to give my constructive opinion on the current system and how can it be made better.ĭefender 1: tier 1 skill that has the effect of reducing might damage equivalent to 2%, 4%, 6% (+1, +2, +3 might defense) depending on the hero's reputation (no reputation or blood reputation, level 1 tears reputation, level 2 tears reputation).
