All Troops were resized into an ''Epic Scale'': 1-3-6-9-12-16-20-26-32. To edit an Army you have Total Freedom: You have permission to purchase any number of a same Regiment and there aren’t limits for Experienced Regiments or Items.

'''Mobile Artillery''': Siege machines get Movement 2 and ''“Will never rout”''.
 +
They are single units with 3 Wounds. Don’t have close attack. Ballistic Skill: Imperial Cannon +1 (to 4); Orc Ballista +1 (to 4).

'''Initiative boost''': Regiments get +2 Initiative to improve their pathfinding. Movement: Vampire -1 (to 5); Wraiths +1 (to 5).

===Costs and rules for shields and regiments===
+
-
In Fair Omen you will find numbers like 80, 100, 130, 160 cost to buy shields: They aren’t multiplies of 3 because help you to spend all gold when you play with 5k/7k Limits.
+
-
The Size Scale used for Regiments is 1-3-6-9-12-16-20-26-32.
+
-
Mobile Artillery: All machines now have 2 Movement Points and “Will never rout”.
+
'''Grail Knights''': They replace Knights of the Realm to become a better cavalry option. Grail Knights are stronger and ''“Immune to fear”''.
-
Siege machines are single units with some armor. Don’t have close combat attack.
+
-
An alternative use is to retain enemy, since machines won’t retreat and have 3 Wounds.
+
-
Errors corrected from programmers: Checking Regiments descriptions with editor I found that Ogres didn’t have “cause fear” and Zombies weren’t “immune to fear”. I also removed from Wraiths “destroyed if routed” since isn’t a real feature of them.
+
'''Greenskins improvements''': Monsters Squads => Trolls 3/3, Spiders 3/3, Scorpions 6/6. Scorpions and Orc Big'uns get ''“Immune to fear”''.
 +
'''Errors corrected from programmers''': Despite descriptions, Mercenary Ogres didn’t ''“Cause fear”'' and Zombies weren’t ''“Immune to fear”''.

===Costs for experienced regiments===
+
===Experienced Troops===
-
Old System: In DO, a next level doubles the Regiment last price: Zombies go from 270gc (level 1) to 540gc (level 2) and then jump to 2160gc (level 4 FE). Considering gold spent, 2 Zombies lvl-1 are better than 1 Zombies lvl-2 (here only quantity matters).
+
'''Old System''': In DO, next levels double the Regiment's "last price", e.g. Zombies prices are 270 (L1)/ 540 (L2)/ 2160(L4 FE). Considering gold spent, it’s quite clear that ''Quantity'' is more convenient than ''Quality''.
-
New System: It’s a double evolution System that considers the type of Regiment. Instead of taking last price obtained, all evolutions are based on the first basic price. Infantry/Cavalry (+25%/+50%/+75%). Ranged/Wizard (+50%/+50%/None).
+
'''New System''': In FO, next levels have a slight price increase based on the Regiment's performance.
 +
Also adds "shield upgrades" where Regiments with ''higher level'' also come with ''higher armor'', always based on the Racial limits.
 +
===Item Costs===
 +
They are multiplies of 40 to help you spend ''all gold'' when playing with 5k/7k Limits.
-
===Cost of Items===
+

They are multiplies of 80 to help Shields costs to spend all gold when editing armies of 5k/7k.

This also makes you earn multiplies of 3 when Items are sold (you always gain back ¾ of the original cost, in few numbers: 80»60). If we sum all Items costs we get exactly 12000gc!

Fair Omen Changes

General Info

Fair Omen reorganizes Regiments/Items giving them a different Size/Price/Order and corrects a few mistakes from programmers. Regiments have a mathematical Structure based on multiplies of 60 and were distributed forming Factions.

All Troops were resized into an Epic Scale: 1-3-6-9-12-16-20-26-32. To edit an Army you have Total Freedom: You have permission to purchase any number of a same Regiment and there aren’t limits for Experienced Regiments or Items.

Mobile Artillery: Siege machines get Movement 2 and “Will never rout”. They are single units with 3 Wounds. Don’t have close attack. Ballistic Skill: Imperial Cannon +1 (to 4); Orc Ballista +1 (to 4).

Initiative boost: Regiments get +2 Initiative to improve their pathfinding. Movement: Vampire -1 (to 5); Wraiths +1 (to 5).

Leadership boost: Regiments get +1 Leadership to fight longer. Exceptions: Wood Elves/Wights/Mummies (all keep L8).

Grail Knights: They replace Knights of the Realm to become a better cavalry option. Grail Knights are stronger and “Immune to fear”.

Greenskins improvements: Monsters Squads => Trolls 3/3, Spiders 3/3, Scorpions 6/6. Scorpions and Orc Big'uns get “Immune to fear”.

Errors corrected from programmers: Despite descriptions, Mercenary Ogres didn’t “Cause fear” and Zombies weren’t “Immune to fear”.

Experienced Troops

Old System: In DO, next levels double the Regiment's "last price", e.g. Zombies prices are 270 (L1)/ 540 (L2)/ 2160(L4 FE). Considering gold spent, it’s quite clear that Quantity is more convenient than Quality.

New System: In FO, next levels have a slight price increase based on the Regiment's performance. Also adds "shield upgrades" where Regiments with higher level also come with higher armor, always based on the Racial limits.

Item Costs

They are multiplies of 40 to help you spend all gold when playing with 5k/7k Limits.
