Background: Problems with Dark Omen
- Regiment numbers: Few units provide short entertainment. Most ranged/infantries with 16 or 20 (poor Visual difference).
- Artillery: How many times did we have to play Defensive due to our steady artillery?
- Shield costs: Who dares to buy shields? This feature is not used because of high values, for example Zombies shield cost 600gc!
- Experience evolution: Who can afford for TOP Wights (8400gc) or TOP Orc Boar Boyz (7680gc) in a serious army?
- Item costs: Swords too expensive, Ptolos & Spelleater (which is better) at 500gc, Horn of Urgok‘s effect at only 750gc…
Fair Omen Changes
General Info
Fair Omen uses Epic Size scale for the Regiments: 1-3-6-9-12-16-20-26-32.
Mobile Artillery: Siege machines now have 2 Movement points and “Will never rout”. They are Single units (1/1) with 2 Wounds/2 Armor. Don’t have close attack. Ballistic Skill: Imperial Cannon +1 BS (to 4); Orc Ballista +2 BS (to 5).
Initiative Boost: Regiments have +2 Initiative which improves their Path-finding. Movement: Vampire -1 MOV (to 5); Wraiths +2 MOV (to 6).
Leadership Boost: Regiments have +1 Leadership to fight longer. Exceptions: Trolls/Mummies +2 L; Elves/Wights +0 L (keep L8).
White Grail: Replaces Knights of the Realm to make the battles more interesting when it has to face the Black Grail, his Arch-Enemy. The White Grail has “Immune to fear”.
Monsters Squads: Greenskins monsters have been increased in order to get Tank Regiments similar to Mercenary Ogres. Trolls: 3/3; Spiders: 3/3; Scorpions 6/6 (alone were useless in big battles).
Errors corrected from programmers: Checking Regiments descriptions with Editor I found that Mercenary Ogres didn’t have “Cause fear” and Zombies weren’t “Immune to fear”.
Experienced Troops
Old System: In DO, 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, not much the quality).
New System: In FO, next levels will have a small increase depending on the Regiment performance. Also it has a Shield Structure where Regiments with higher level also come with higher armor, always based on Dark Omen limitations.
Items Costs
They are multiplies of 50 because help you spend all gold when playing with 5k/7k Limits.
