I will then write to you with my opinion. First, I am generally neutral about the rework suggestions regarding monsters. They are relatively unimportant to me and I do not see any issues with them from what I have just read.<br> <br> As for the other races ideas, I very much agree with the "revert" direction. However, there is a point that is very not good/concerned for me. Specifically, the undead arcane part:<br> <blockquote cite="./../viewtopic.php?p=695250&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695250"><div><cite><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=170442&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052">matto</a> wrote: <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695250&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695250" data-post-id="695250" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">December 9th, 2024, 5:53 pm</span></cite> Vampire Bat: Change [lvl0-1] +10% and [lvl2] +20% or [1.16] Revert +20%<br> Ghouls: Change [lvl1] +10% [lvl2] +20% [lvl3] +30%<br> Skeletons: Change [lvl1-2] -40% [lvl3] -30% or [1.16] Revert -50% </div></blockquote> Giving bonus to resistance per level honestly makes no sense. Rather, I think this will have negative effects for both lore/gameplay. My concern is particularly the tactical aspect. As I believe someone already pointed out earlier, any unit with higher level (increased HP and attacks) is a threat to the attacker by itself. Therefore, if the resistance changes strongly per level, it will make that unit more difficult to defeat for no apparent reason, thus worsening the gameplay.<br> <br> For this reason, I fully support reverting to 1.16 stats for the undead arcane, especially for the Skeletons.</div> <div id="sig695253" class="signature"><strong class="text-strong">Kame</strong> means turtle in Japanese.

How everything it developed and executed with reasons.<br> Conquest, looking for a better tomorrow, greed and more.<br> <br> So I like the lore touch you are giving to arcane. I always felt that wesnoth needs a bit of structure or maybe background lore like in other fantasy settings.<br> <br> I also like you implication of using description of ingame mainline units from wesnoth. That's a good base.<br> Lately I posted in a memes thread a quote from Dacyn that I encountered in the main menu while playing wesnoth "Arcane attacks are very powerful against undead".<br> Why would Dacyn say something like that? With the current set up, Wesnoth could just use fire. It is easier accessible by the public and doesn't require any predisposition or skills by any user.<br> <br> Anyway to bring this to a point.<br> I dont like the changes to the undead and I don't like that they are getting stronger with each lvl up. Are they getting more natural while leveling? Shouldn't that be the other way around?<br> I am not suggesting making them worse with each level.<br> I am only questioning why they are getting stronger.<br> I still suggest reverting them to -50%.<br> I am open for discussion to give the lich a different arcane resist.<br> <br> For the other races I do support your ideas. There should be a reason why someone has a higher resistance.<br> Silver mages train to be anti mages, so they are having 50% resist to fire and cold.<br> That is also quite cool lorewise.<br> <br> I also wonder why a Sand Scorpion has worse arcane resist than a skeleton?</div> <div id="sig695264" class="signature">Campaigns:<a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=56726" class="postlink">Vendraxis Prophecy</a><br> Porting:<a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=42731" class="postlink">Across the Ocean</a>, <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=9187" class="postlink">Forgotten Legacy</a>, <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=41463" class="postlink">Oath of Allegiance</a>, <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=51938" class="postlink">Palms amid Blue Dunes</a><br> <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=40958" class="postlink"> Carved in Stone</a><br> Modification:<a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=58752" class="postlink"> Unit Color Changer</a>, <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=58752" class="postlink"> Unit Color Variation</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p695265" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile695265"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=130408&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./../download/file.php?avatar=130408_1424804575.png" width="100" height="100" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=130408&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">ChaosRider</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=130408&sr=posts&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052">1034</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> April 15th, 2012, 1:15 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content695265"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695265&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695265">Re: What is Arcane? - Suggestions by matto</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&p=695265&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695265&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695265" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=130408&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">ChaosRider</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2024-12-10T07:55:32+00:00">December 10th, 2024, 7:55 am</time> </p> <div class="content">Just to inform you that there is on Wesnoth v1.18 server an addon called MoreDamageTypes which gives you over 10 dmg types more.

Weird would be to give goblins and orcs diffrent resistance (they're basically same race, could You explain why You want to differ them?), saurians may be on -10% or -20%, white mage should have more resistance on arcane than paladin but not very much, around 10%. As you mentioned supernatural creatures as woses, trolls, elves, drakes should have from -10% to -30/40% depending on race (I am thinking also about dragons from monster race).</div> <div id="sig695268" class="signature"><div style="text-align:center">„Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam"</div></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p695271" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile695271"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=141652&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">sine_nomine</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=141652&sr=posts&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052">74</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> April 30th, 2016, 11:34 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content695271"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695271&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695271">Re: What is Arcane? - Suggestions by matto</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&p=695271&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695271&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695271" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=141652&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">sine_nomine</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2024-12-10T15:08:16+00:00">December 10th, 2024, 3:08 pm</time> </p> <div class="content">My thoughts on arcane:<br> - Arcane is strong against magical creatures (fantasy things that don't make sense in real life, e.g. skeletons require 'magic' to walk around without muscles) and weak against ordinary creatures (things that exist in real life, or similar). In gameplay this is represented by a big difference in resistance: -50% skeletons vs +20% humans.<br> - Arcane resistance is determined by a creature's species. Most major species have different arcane resistances to make them more distinct. Species does not change between lvl 1/2/3 (except lich), so arcane resistance should not change. <br> - Exception: units with a high "understanding" of arcane have higher resistance. White mage, paladin, mermaid diviner, elvish sylph, etc<br> <br> About your suggestions:<br> - Saurians angurs and skirmishers should have the same arcane resistance. They are both saurians and neither knows arcane magic.<br> - Shadow mages should be the same as normal humans. Necromancers have +20%, so shadow mages should not be lower.<br> - The difference between regular humans & white mages should be the same as the difference between WM & MoL. 20% -> 40% -> 60%.<br> - In wesnoth, goblins and orcs are the same species. They are literally brothers. Therefore they should have the same arcane resistance.<br> - Creatures that exist in real life should have +20% resistance. Some animals may need to be changed from 1.16 to be more consistent.<br> - I don't know about wolf riders. Goblins should be 0% but wolves are mundane.<br> - Drakes: pick whatever works best for gameplay.<br> - Something extra to think about: Trolls. They are living stones and can regenerate, so they seem very 'magical'. Based on lore I would expect arcane resistance to be -20%. However, this would affect undead ghosts vs northerners.<br> <br> I recommend:<br> 1) Revert to 1.16, because 1.16 arcane was better<br> 2) Change animals. There may be a need to determine whether some monsters are 'mundane' or 'magical'.<br> 3) Pick one faction you want to change and explain why it should be changed</div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p695272" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile695272"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=259171&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">Smiley_J</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=259171&sr=posts&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052">1</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> March 10th, 2023, 2:00 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content695272"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695272&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695272">Re: What is Arcane? - Suggestions by matto</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&p=695272&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=695272&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052#p695272" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=259171&sid=a322edbb88e3a4c265a2587cf59d8052" class="username">Smiley_J</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2024-12-10T16:13:27+00:00">December 10th, 2024, 4:13 pm</time> </p> <div class="content">I'm usually just a lurker on both Forums and Discord, but I try to keep up with things. <br> <br> As much as I'd love a buff to Undead as a whole, there is no reason why they should be less vulnerable to the one thing that has always been their biggest weakness.

There are several realms that are home to magical creatures, namely faerie realm, where elves come from, the Land of Dead, where souls go after death, spirit world, which power liches wield, and the place of origin of Fire Guardians, where they are summoned from, that is, without worlds of Yechagoth, Zhangor and Ixthala demons from UtBS. Some other creatures have magical origins or source of life, namely dragons and drakes, woses, non-ghost undead, mudcrawlers, sand scuttlers and, perhaps, dwarves. Souls are apparently also not native to the world of bodies, and looks like that otherworldly essence is what influences magical capability/vulnerability. It can be assumed that magic itself has a separate realm, or is the matter between others, which trained souls can use, either by themselves, like most mages, or through some implements, like wielders of the Scepter of Fire. As for Delfador example, he was more lucky than special, his greatest feats of spellcasting were achieved with knowledge from the Book of Crelanu, and he got in the Land of Dead by accident, when orcs interfered in his meditation that would allow him to just commune with spirits, but if something goes wrong, one of the consequences could be teleportation of not only his soul but his body as well. He resists the corruption more because of the writing than because of his uniqueness among the human mages. <br> <blockquote class="uncited"><div> Race and Description (Dwarves), Training (Red Mage) or "Born/Connected" to a Magical Force (Elves) which shapes their Resistances, giving a Weakness (Undead to Arcane) or an "Immunity" (Drakes to Fire).<br> <br> From <a href="https://units.wesnoth.org/1.18/mainline/en_US/Elvish%20Marksman.html" class="postlink">Elvish Marksman</a>: <em class="text-italics">"Elves have an intimate connection to the world of faerie, which innately imbues them with highly acute senses and incredibly keen vision"</em><br> <br> From <a href="https://units.wesnoth.org/1.18/mainline/en_US/Elvish%20Shyde.html" class="postlink">Elvish Shyde</a>: <em class="text-italics">"Shydes are masters of the mundane, guided by a power which is little understood"</em><br> <br> From <a href="https://units.wesnoth.org/1.18/mainline/en_US/Elvish%20Sorceress.html" class="postlink">Elvish Sorceress</a>: <em class="text-italics">"Elven magic most commonly diverges among two paths — manipulation of the natural, or corporeal world, and divination into the arcane plane"</em><br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">Mundane Magic</strong> refers to the <span style="text-decoration:underline">Five Types of Material Damage</span> a spellcaster can conjure and manipulate [IMPACT, BLADE, PIERCE, FIRE & COLD] in the case of Elvish Druid line are Ensnare(Impact) and Thorns(Pierce), meanwhile <strong class="text-strong">"Arcane" Magic</strong> is the control over the "manifestation" of an Ethereal Being Power/Worlds [<span style="text-decoration:underline">attack naming delineate the Source</span> (Elves = Faeries World = Faerie Fire)], such as in Necromancer control over a Soul/Spirit.<br> <br> From <a href="https://units.wesnoth.org/1.18/mainline/en_US/Shadow%20Lord.html" class="postlink">Shadow Lord</a>:<em class="text-italics">"Those that can master that balance become Shadow Lords, fully existing neither in the world of light nor the world of darkness"</em><br> <br> This one is hard... are there more "Worlds"/Domains, like for Dragon's Fire or Dwarves Runic Magic, is it exclusive to "Arcane" Magic? as in exclusive to Arcane Damage Type, i think this is where we can let the structure shift, be unknown to ourselves.<br> Otherwise we will limit Dragon's Fire to mere <strong class="text-strong">MUNDANE MAGIC</strong> [only Fire Dmg Type] or <strong class="text-strong">ARCANE MAGIC</strong> [only Arcane Dmg Type].<br> This shouldn't limit how cool you can do things, you can make plot twist in your story by simply changing or giving a normal unit a different damage type. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">Make Unique Unit</strong>, like once in 1000 years type of thing (etc..), such as Delfador Pure Soul or to quote one of my favorite UMC <a href="https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?p=553498#p553498" class="postlink">The White Troll</a>. </div></blockquote> The division comes down to the interaction of different forces. Faerie fire, souls, including spiritual light, and magic that gives life to the inanimate, that is, undead and elementals, including drakes and goblins, are alien and harmful to each other, the same goes for fire, which has different origins, in addition, it dangerous for souls outside bodies, even orcish, the only natural one, and living bodies prevent direct influence on the essence of the creature. Each magical source can have its own type of damage, but for simplicity they are combined into cold, fire and arcane. Physical effects are rare and tying non-arcane magic to "mundane" and and it's very separation doesn't sound right.<br> <blockquote class="uncited"><div> Rock Scorpion: Change +10%<br> Wolf: Change +10%<br> Scorpion: Change +10%<br> Swamp Lizard: Change +10%<br> Ravens: Change 0%<br> CuttleFish: Change 0%<br> Icemonax: Change -10%<br> Frost Stoat: Change -10%<br> Skeletal Dragon: Change -20% or -10%<br> Drake Armageddon: Change -20% or [1.16] Revert -30%<br> Fire Dragon: Change -20% or [1.16] Revert -30%<br> Sand Scorpion: [1.18] -50% (All Resistances same as MudClawer bc of description, needs some twicks)<br> <br> Shadow Jump Spider: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Falcons: [1.18-1.16] Keep +10%<br> Roc: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Cave Bear: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Horned Scarab: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Woodland Boar: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Bay/Great Horse: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Giant Rat: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Giant Spider: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Wyvern: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> Ogres: [1.18] Keep +10%<br> <br> Tentacle of the Deep: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Water Serpent: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Great SeaHorse: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Caribe: [1.18] Keep 0%<br> Sea Serpent: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Ants: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Dark/Black/White Horse: [1.18] Keep 0%<br> Yeti: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0% </div></blockquote> Animals and monsters are protected by their flesh and don't have magical origins which could make them vulnerable to arcane, and from gameplay perspective, 10% doesn't really protect from ghosts and other arcane attacks, 20% could do better as a standart for everyone not mentioned.<br> <br> Ravens aren't that different from falcons, no reason for them to have lower arcane resistance.<br> <br> Icemonax and Frost Stoat are the product of adaptation to cold environment, their cold damage isn't really unnatural, and they live mostly in the Northlands, where frozen claws and fangs aren't something outside of the row, so they can count as usual animals and monsters.<br> <br> Skeletal Dragon is animated by magic and has no reason to be less vulnerable than any other undead creature, preferably -50%, but no less than -40%.<br> <br> Fire Dragon and Armageddon Drake are kinda the same, creatures with both souls and magical source of life, though somewhat protected by the body, preferably -30%, but no less than -20%.<br> <br> Sand Scuttler is a mix of of Giant Scorpion and Mudcrawler, it's reasonable for it to be more resistant to arcane, as it has some living tissue. -30%.<br> <br> Ogres aren't that different to humans in terms of their origin and essence,so it doesn't make sense for their arcane resistance to be so different, it should be 20%.<br> <br> Sea Serpent could possibly have unusual origin, with decreased arcane resistance, but it's unclear, water serpents are absolutely natural with regular 20%.<br> <br> Fire ants to regular are kinda the same as sea serpent to water septent.<br> <br> Tentacle of the Deep is a part of Cuttlefish, and can have the same 20% arcane resistance.<br> <br> White horses aren't really different from Bay/Great, and should have the same 20% arcane resistance, Black could be somewhat different, either alien or posessed, that could explain why are they more vulnerable than regular.<br> <br> Yeti is kinda hard to determine, they're unusual, but not necessarily magical, placing them in line with others doesn't seem wrong, arcane resistance could be increased to 20% but keeping at at 0% isn't bad either.<br> <blockquote class="uncited"><div> Fire Guardian/Wraith: [1.16] Revert -30%<br> Mudclawers: Change -40% or [1.18-1.16] Keep -50%<br> <br> Jinn: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> Boats: [1.18-1.16] Keep +60% </div></blockquote> Fire Guardians/Wraiths are otherworldly creatures with no flesh protection and possible magical life source, -30% if they are just soulless aliens, preferably -50%, but no less than -40% if they have magical origins, no less, preferably more vulnerable than drakes.<br> <br> Mudcrawlers are non-fleshy elementals, animated by magic, usually soulless, preferably -50%, but no less than -40%.<br> <br> Jinns are spirits without apparent connection to ghosts, magical life source or flesh, preferably -20%, but no less than -10%.<br> <br> Boats could be even more resistant to arcane, like 80%.<br> <blockquote class="uncited"><div> Dwarves: [1.18-1.16] Keep +10%<br> <br> Gryphons: [1.18-1.16] Keep +10% </div></blockquote> Dwarves are tricky, as they are possibly created artificially with magic, yet they are pretty much alive and harder than humans.

High level skeletons are already more threatening due to having better stats, especially higher HP, so I don't see the point reducing the arcane weakness on lv3. Lore wise, even if the skeleton is stronger, it is still functionally (and magically) working the exact same way, there's nothing that should make arcane attacks "weaker" per se. They have no additional magical protections, and are animated by the same magic throughout all 3 of their levels.<br> <br> A similar case can be done with the ghoul to a lesser degree I believe. They shouldn't get more resistant to arcane than they are at base. They may feed and grow more, but this only really affects their HP. There's more flesh to go through to kill the ghoul, but that "flesh" doesn't become harder to cut, burn or smite.<br> <br> I would advocate for reverting their 1.16 arcane resistances.<br> <blockquote class="uncited"><div>___________________________________________<br> Goblins: Change +10% or [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%<br> ___________________________________________<br> <br> Orcs: [1.18-1.16] Keep 0%</div></blockquote> <br> This one also makes little sense to me, for a specific reason.

Now the undead can actually approach many units with impunity, which were specially created for exterminating them. As for the balance, the units with arcane are mostly from levels 2 and 3, which already makes them in not easily accessible from the very beginning so the higher damage to undead is justified.<br> <br> In that same update, level 3 and 4 elves from the shaman branch got ridiculous buffs to their damage instead of being more specialized units.<br> <br> The 1.18 changes to arcane were a big
