I think you really hit it out of the park with these changes.... they really target some of the more exploitable mechanics of the game and make some of the more ignored specs/heroes worth trying, adding to the flavor.  Absolutely awesome.

On the minus side, my strategy guides need to be updated

That is true, many of the go to strategies like stunning strike or consume corpse are nerfed now, while some other nice stuff getting small buffs.
You spoke about those as well in your guides.

How about you join us for the PvP matches we do?
Join our discord:
heroes 5.5 discord server

And perhaps check our ladder system and tournament:
Gladiator arena site

May be you will be the one to throw Frogo from his throne. He already played some of his favored heroes, even though he is smart with picking those. But it does weaken him as he can't play the same hero twice as long as he is sitting at the throne.

Sanctuary would be great because they would be another faction that could be either offensive or defensive.
I know all of them can in HoMM5.5, but two newest factions are very much Defense oriented (Fortress) and Attack oriented (Stronghold).

Okay how about this for Sanctuary hero classes? Tier refers to the chance to get it on level-up, lower number tiers get a higher chance.

Shogun (Might)

Atk - 35%
Def - 40%
SP - 10%
KN - 15%

New Class skill for Sanctuary heroes: Honor. Probably focus on mental fortitude for the perks I.E. "your creatures can no longer recieve the "fear" affect." If a new skill is too much work/rebalancing then never mind.

Class Skill: Leadership
Tier 1: Honor/Combat, Offense
Tier 2: War Machines, Defense
Tier 3: Shatter Destruction, Luck, Logistics, Enlightenment
Tier 4: Light Magic, Shatter Dark, Shatter Summoning

Monk (Mixed)

Atk - 25%
Def - 30%
SP - 20%
KN - 35%

Class Skill: Shatter Dark/Honor (Monks have high mental defense)
Tier 1: Luck, Enlightenment
Tier 2: Light Magic, Shatter Destruction
Tier 3: Logistics, Defense, Summoning Magic, Offense
Tier 4: Sorcery, War Machines, Occultism

Tide Conjurer (Magic)

Atk - 15%
Def - 10%
SP - 45%
KN - 30%

Class Skill: Destruction Magic
Tier 1: Summoning Magic, Occultism
Tier 2: Enlightenment, Light Magic, Sorcery
Tier 3: Logistics, Luck, Dark Magic, Honor/Necromancy
Tier 4: Offense, Defense, I know you said War Machines is Might only but I noticed that the Druids can learn it??

Anyway that's what I've got for the classes. If you want me to elaborate on the creatures I mihgt just start a proposal thread to prevent this one from derailing.

Starting with a shatter isn't that good.
I think those heroes will never be picked as main heroes, and only serve their role as a simple way to get dragonblood crystals.

I think some other starting skill should be given to the balanced class, considering most balanced classes are weak anyway and rarely picked as main heroes (something that the balance tries to change).

From what I can see their guild is about light and destruction.
I think light magic is a way better skill for a balanced hero then a shatter.

I also considered enlightenment. It would also make sense for their theme. I'm not sure about starting with light magic though because I see them as more of "my mind is too strong for your curses to work" kind of class.

This is exactly what light is about.
Check the Eternal Light perk, as well as the ability to mass cleanse.

And light also opens a way to creep efficiently, something that is important for balance. Classes that don't have that (say Rune Mages) simply aren't picked as starting heroes.

I am not sure how I feel about Sandals of Prophet change, it feels weak now especially now when u cant really switch them for other artifacts. Couldnt you just set it to give 100 movement points like the Pillager ability?
And Boots of Swift Journey removing 750 points maybe a bit too harsh, maybe set it to 500?

The effect from the Sandals of the Prophet was very snowballing, a hard nerf was very important for those.
On one hand nerfing it to the pillager effect of 100 movement points could have been fine as well, but I think we don't want many abilities / artifacts that overlap in what they do.

In the end, if you fight 2-3 fights per day the effect from the Sandals of the Prophet and Pillager is the same.
I agree that with pillager and a good hero you can take more then 3 fights per day, but its a perk that if you invest into you are denied from other perks, and available only to one faction.

Edited by thGryphn at 17:31, 27 Dec 2019.

I have to say, I don't agree with the Sandals change being this harsh either. The snowballing effect was only important in competitive maps with tons of potential fights in a day, which again happened on the first couple of weeks. So this "remedy" actually addressed a corner issue, which to me doesn't make sense.

If competitive players think the sandals impact the game outcome drastically, they should disable the artifact from the map completely, instead of rendering the artifact useless.

I feel like many changes, including the Pillager are base on a biased perspective: small and fast competitive games.

I hope @magno will rethink some changes considering that the "game" is more than those cases...

I must tell you that I had a game where I found the sandals on week 1 in an ARMG map, and then had a very clean victory getting my hero t a state he can clear everything and then cleaving my way to claim an easy win.

So its not just competative maps, ARMG maps get to that category as well.

Sheltem, a Demon Lord hero, is one of the strongest heroes on ARMG maps due to Pillager. Gladly it was nerfed now, so may be some can take his place. But having a hero who is by far way better then others on ARMG maps wasn't fun at all.

I did not overlook casual games when making this change, if you have one fight per day you will get +350 movement points because it also makes up the 100 for fighting, the boots of swift journey give around 700 movement per day on average, that means the sandals as minor artifact have half of that power. I think it is debatable whether they should give +400 to give a little bonus for days not fighting.

Yes, I think this would be nice: +350 for a day with no fights, so it's half the major boots... I guess you can give it +350 as default and no bonus for the first fight of the day?

I'm talking about the Sandals of Prophet giving some movement points even on days with no fight. Currently, it gives points only after a battle, no?

To revise what I said above, it should give +250 points (in desc) by default, plus +250 (in desc) for the first battle only. So, minimum +250, maximum +500.
