If you box your ranged - he will nuke you. if you dont - he will just summon avatar on top of them which takes whole turn to take down best case. the anti summon skill as far as i understand is worthless vs him since its 1 instance of damage.

its just looks like such an ultimate spell.

Im fucking bad and i know it but for this i just dont have an answer at all.

Screenshot from template selection today.

Patch #8 had the following line in the notes

> Single Hero Mode

• Map rotation updated:
  • Old set: Harmony, Sprint, Exodus, Jebus Outcast, Vendetta.
  • New set: Harmony, Sprint, Exodus, Blitz, Vendetta.
  • Exodus is always included in the selection pool.

Later patches had no further changes to it documented at least, since when has the map started appearing again?

hey, i want to play exodus with my friend but we want to use the same economy/enemies settings as in ranked. i cant seem to find any information on which settings are used tho

For those who are struggling with the game (meaning me), would you share your best starting heroes and your strategy to make them as broken as possible as fast as possible?

After trying the game in normal difficulty and getting trounced by the first hero passing nearby, I realized I'll need all the help I can get lol.

I want to complete the set of skills needed to get the 'Walking Rot' combination of skills for Kel'Ghul. I just need Diplomacy and Resistance. I've got 2 slots left for skills but as I get more experience for the last few fights, I keep getting those skills offered, which I don't want. I keep pressing the 'x' button and they keep coming. If I choose one of them, I won't be able to complete the set of skills I need. Is this a bug or a feature (and I should have not accepted earlier irrelevant skills)?

EDIT: I keep having an issue pasting the screenshot but I think the description above is clear. I have 2 left slots for skills and as I fight, it keeps offering me 3 basic skills that I don't want (the same ones each time)

Does anyone else feel there are just too many portals and scrolls on the maps?

Hello, I just started playing Arena multiplayer and as fun as it is I've got to admit the 30 second turn timer to move one unit is a bit excessive. I just played a match where the guy took the full 30 seconds plus extra time every single unit he moved. Our units basically took turns moving so he used a full 4 minutes plus another 3 minutes of his timer to finish round 1... That's too much. I did all of my 1 unit turns in 5 seconds or less outside of the first turn where i used my spellbook. Because it's really just moving 1 unit it doesn't take rocket science. If you already used your spellbook for the round and it's just a single unit turn, please make it 15 seconds and not 30. If you have 3 or 4 units to move i get it, but just 1, if the initiative leads to you having a 1 unit turn for all 7 units that's almost 4 minutes. If you did that every round for 4 rounds and used your 5 minutes of extra time that's like 22 + minutes... For one battle.

There's simply not enough time to figure out what's going on. I can't even seem to be able to see which map we are playing bare the split second where the map pick is happening. Faction an / pick order is okay, but oh boy, trying to decide which heroes to ban is impossible in the tiny time frame they give you. and then when you do get into a game, unless you're somehow a veteran, it's impossible to tell which map is being played, I'm im not mistaken?

Also i seem to be getting matched with people who have far higher ELO than me. For reference I am down at about 800!

What about a good "hero ban template" for the 6 factions that will help until I get to grips with the game?

Also, how do I know for example how many neutral towns there are in my starting area, for example?

Also given that there are only 6 factions, and the same 2 factions are consistently banned (Necropolis, Schism), is there even any point in trying to learn them?

Playing single hero FYI.

Any advice? Cheers.

This is shown as an easy battle, but I've tried four or five times and yes, I can win it, but the cats always manage to kill at least one of my hydras and a lot of my other troops: I can't kill them fast enough with spells and range. What would you suggest I do to make this easier for myself? I'm in normal difficulty.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

This is what my opponent just showed up with to fight1 on exodus. He got all 5 towns and lvl4 second wind.

I was at 1200 MMR 10 days ago. I'm not smurfing or anything, coz I constantly lost to about 3 players who were at 1200 1300ish as well.

I played 25 games since last week, and surprisingly, I won 22 of them. The system started to match me with some better opponents. I had no idea before the game started, so I beat him and felt like I beat some 1300MMR dude; then I checked his MMR, it's 2400??

Then the system sent a 3000 MMR dude twice in a row; Again, I didn't know he was at 3000, and just beat him twice in a row too.... (Exodus, 2:0, 2:1). A 3100 MMR dude eventually stopped my 12-game win streak. I'm now at 2100MMR.

But I'm more confused than happy, because I don't think I have improved by this much during 1 week. So I checked one of the dudes that constantly beat me when we were both at 1200 MMR; he is now 2400MMR too and has a very good win streak too.

What's going on?? Suddenly people just get 1000 MMR better? Or is the MMR inflating so much?

Don't forget that he takes availability and slot in consideration

What would the Olden Era community think about a spell that let's your hero chop down trees on the map to farm wood and cut a path between objectives? It would need to be balanced somehow (cost a lot or mana, maybe movement).
