I didn't expect this. Isn't it bad? In my experience, that makes archers too strong against buildings. It also has some odd costs for upgrades.
-
archers/trolls still will be unplayable
lust is not op anymore
so human back to game
I dont understand why they change range mage but they didnt change dk
if someone leave, there is still his color in allies menu and can ally/vis him
didnt fix random spot bug that is most issue
-
A step in the right direction, but fixed/random location issue still makes it unplayable.
Thanks for posting the update info.

Now the damage calculation from Bloodlust will be calculated correctly, and not with a bug as in the original :) Edo fixed this original "bug" in our war2rebalance.
This is, of course, a very interesting move by Blizzard. I think many will agree that the original game has many strange decisions, no balance, etc. ..., I will not list it here. An attempt is being made to turn the tide and fix many things in the game, to balance the game.
It is difficult to say what this will lead to. Our community has always been somewhat "ossified" and is not very welcoming to any kind of changes. This is partly where our failures with war2mod and war2rebalance lie.
On the other hand - who are we? And who are Blizzard? They, of course, have much more rights to change the game the way they need, and many in the community can support this.
But if we tried to change the game in small steps ... then Blizzard decided to strike like a "bolt from the blue" and announce a lot of fixes, including balance fixes. Again, it is difficult to say what this will lead to. But, of course, we will closely monitor the situation :) This is very interesting.

Brief superficial analysis:
No one will be healed by paladins either. I believe that the only way to fix the misunderstanding with paladins is with autoheal, in some version of it.
A rather strange decision on the diversity of the mages' main magic: Spells will become somewhat different...

Longbow / Lightaxe Upgrades:
Base piercing damage: 6 → 7
so guys i think THIS is what HUGE change for archers
firstly if you not remember because you not used any archers in 30 years then i remind you
this upgrade is not for damage, blizzard still fucked up even in this patch notes :)
this is RANGE upgrade
and that means they can become like Alleria with range 7
the main thing is that they will be able to break GUARD TOWERS
WITHOUT getting hit BACK
and considering way more bigger piercing dmg they prob can be used as base openers instead of catapults, unless there is cannon towers also
so what do you think?
-
What a good way to start the day with nice news for the wc1 and 2.
Im glad they took a look at the balance of the game maybe I can retire the idea of my mod before I even start it , would save me lot of work and allow me to instant start working on CNC generals realistic mod.
All we need now is adding auto cast and heal for slow/heal maybe reduce mana cost for heal further and we good , how are archers/trolls? Any good? Man after 29 years bloodlust finally got a nerf.
-
i not have remaster guys
who can confirm longbow uprgade if range +1 or +2 ?
-
custom games, orc will be again op, 5 more mana for dnd is not a change, but 2 less range in any custom game special in chop is lot of, orc can easy rape human player, but human cant do it cause range
range +1
-
so, this is ranger
-
wait lol wtf so still 1 range, ok
but ALSO
not dmg added? so why they writed is patch notes its add dmg lol?
or they forgot to add so that its actually shown in status in game?
so lol
i think maybe they just copy from other changes above
and for this upgrade actually was changed just costs
so dmg text was just forgot to remove after copy
-
so, this is ranger
At some point they need to give him a unique model , blizzard listened and added a tall pixel option for warcraft 1 i=a6CK65MyIyBF5I2-
They can do this too if we raise it as an issue.

and considering way more bigger piercing dmg they prob can be used as base openers instead of catapults, unless there is cannon towers also
Cats will never be replaced by an archer/axer. Ever. For any reason. This is because cats have splash damage and are mobile where as archers/axers have no splash at all. So you're still going to see opening strats with cats at s9/9 for example, rather than archers/axers. And cats will still be used for breaking walls because of splash as well. The splash hits multiple repairers at once where as axers/archers do not. I still wouldnt use these buffed axers/archers to kill a tower because again..... no splash damage to hit repairers.
The only thing that could replace a cat would be a mobile cannon tower....... which makes no sense lol.
And this is all irrespective of another feature that a cat has which is attack ground. Only ships, magic casters, and bombers have similar abilities. It's a unique feature that other non-splash type units (such as archers/axers) simply cant compete with.
