Thread: what would make honor good?

  1. #1

    Default what would make honor good?

    I really think Honor is not good. thats a contradiction of words but its so true. i think they really should reward players for game play. so what would be a good reward for reaching high honor? Troops that fight longer should kill more bad guys i think.

    Your reward is getting to heal your enemies troops at a super high rate when you take their city

    I've heard rumors that higher honor does in fact increase your troops' effective life but, like I said, so far they're only rumors. I've got absolutely no information to substantiate this.

    It's something I've wanted to test for a while, but *shrug* just haven't had the time to do so.

    Honor has a very important purpose in both siege tactics and overarching strategy. It's effects should not be changed. If anything is wrong about it, it's the name. But what other name would be better?

    No it does not. Lower honor than your opponent = better heal rate.

    The word 'handicap' would be better, similar to golf. The better your attacks, the more honor you collect, and the greater your handicap against other players to give them a fighting chance. So handicap seems appropriate.

    Hmm, handicap is better, but I wouldn't say it's dead-on. As a hardcore player who is a member of a hardcore alliance who regularly "cracks" players' cities that have half a million or more archers and another half a million infantry, we play the honor game hard. I mean, we send in suicide scout or horse stacks for massive "honor dumps" on our target before we start in with the real assaults. We make it a point to keep our honor low and our enemies' honor high.

    If it were a handicap then we'd be sandbagging, which is (interestingly enough) a dishonorable thing to do.

    As you siege a tough target, inevitably the target gains honor, because the defense has such a huge combat advantage. Almost any wave you send will lose honor -- one time I killed 2 million enemy defenders (mostly warriors) with ONE mech wave, and that wave STILL lost honor, because the mech that died were so much more expensive than the infantry they killed. As a siege continues, the target continues to gain honor and the attackers continue to lose it. This is the one thing that overcomes the defender's advantage, the fact that if you keep up a heavy assault then the attackers can eventually win a war of attrition because the attackers heal back much and the defender heals back little.

    Handicap is a better word for it than honor, but I'm still damned if I can figure out a still better one.

    Actually, once you are using big enough attack heroes and are using the proper formation for each situation, you should almost never lose honor in an attack (except if you're attacking some baby city suitable for scout bombs). Whenever I check a report and see that I lost honor, I know something went horribly wrong.

    Well i never loose honor attacking an oponent. i use tiny waves of literaly 100 troops till the walls are gone then send in small calvery waves to kill all there rainbows when there down to just archers the practs/calvery eat them alive Yes its a slow method but right now im 7th hi honor on server and scoutbombs make me laugh because im building archers(or worriors) faster then these guys build there scouts. yea they get 3 bombs for the price of 2 but the 150k scouts take a hell of alot longer to build then my 30k archers
