Complete 1.5 Balancing list!

For those interested here are some of the upcoming changes. They come on top of my head so I have likely missed some and I certainly do not remember exact numbers for all. If I get lucky I might be able to share the data file with you, has a few bugs but it should be worth trying it out.

EDIT!

Not yet. And not for luck of our ranting There is still a lot that is planned to change but overall those should be fine for starters. There is still spirit form lasting infinite turns, out of time exploit, first blood giving +2 speed, counterstrike III and retribution III overkill..

- Heal and waves of renewal has been moved from the basic sisters/pearl maidens to their upgrades. The basic units have received pacification and eyes of the medusa in compensation. I think their charges have been reduced to 1.


Not happy about this at all, Coral Priestesses are going to be useless now, but I understand the reason why they had to be balanced.

I disagree.. Coral priestess eye of the medusa combined with Thunderclap and Storm Arrows is still one hell of a strong unit...

Btw An changes done to Storm arrows?

Inferno has been generally boosted
Any plans to make Boundless Hate (Pit Lord) actually useful? It's currently the worst upgraded Champion ability and makes the upgrade economically undesirable in quite many cases (10 extra HP and some damage hardly cost 15k gold and whatnot).

What about nerfing Necromancy and the Healing SPELLS (not abilities) plus skills such as Reinforcements?

Why would anyone do that?
The healing spells as such are no problem - they cost mana, and after 1.5 they cost even more mana plus everyone can pick them one way or another (Life Drain has been nerfed, by the way).
The problem comes from 3 factions having FREE healers from the beginning, while others have not without compensation.

So what 1.5 will try is the following: Sisters, Priestesses and Ghosts will have their skills reversed with their upgrades, which will make the game rather different. You can still pick healing skills for your heroes, but at the same time they will deplete your mana faster (which is a different kind of nerfing).

because i'm against all kinds of early game ressurections that are "must takes" for certain factions

and where are you seeing that spells will cost more mana?

Good, this is a huge step forwards. Not only in balance, but in acknowledgement of the fans complaints. I'm a little annoyed they are giving out more luck rather than making luck better, but at least it is better.

Most of these look good indeed.
Sounds like the most substantial patch (balance-wise) up to date.

I am super-exited actually. I always loved inferno, so that explains a lot probably.

-Luck doubled for Inferno units. It fixes the gating AND helps early game creeping a lot with split succubus stacks. A very bold move, I never thought they would do so much.  
-Ravages finally have enough material to work as a tank and protect Cerberi/Tormentors ^^
-The biggest cry of them all, the Cerberi! MOAR of them
-Tormentors are ok with the extra defence I guess, but I thought they were quite ok without. Oh well, good anyways.

Good news, I have the file

Clicky!

Just put the file in your Might&MagicHeroesVI folder (along with .orc files you already have there) to apply the changes. You can just remove this file to return to original values. Better to keep a backup of your original file if there is another with the same name, also you'd better have 1.4 installed.

Like the changes. Albeit I'm rather sceptical about healing nerfs Don't get me wrong, those in 1.00 were a joke (you could take on powerful neutrals with 0 loses using next to no units at all...), but I really don't want to see another game where loses in creeping are inevitable due to lame/non-existent healing. loses are frustrating, that just leads to the development of cheesy creeping strategies like in HoMM3 or 5

I feel you. This isn't the case here, what has changed is that healing will generally be more expensive and spells like life drain will get a reduced percentage though it's still pretty damn handy. At some point limiting them to charges was considered but that would be.. unsatisfactory. They would limit the spells early but then the spells would be near useless later on. Not to mention that charges are no fun..

As for the ghost/maiden/sister trio, they keep the healing but you'd have to upgrade them first. So it just delays how fast it comes in play, if you choose to go that way you might have to sacrifice an elite dwelling.
