Racial Benefits

[Lago 2572]

Dwarves ARE really strong - We are just small.

Orcs ARE strong and tall.

Why does everyone think a Dwarf is a little weak small tin ass creature.

 

PLUS Elves are thin and light, and dwarves are heavy and strong.

 

Dwarves are strong. Humans are much bigger than them though, so should it not balance out a bit?

 

Elves are around, 5 feet to 7 feet... Although in some cases they can

come to 8 feet, rare on 9 feet although past seven needs a GM or LM

approval in my eyes.

High elves get to 7, the rest are shorter than that.

Well that escalated quickly

You'll see in LoTR, DnD or any other book/game like that that Dwarves are incredibly courageous and resilient (as a general rule). They have a high threshold to pain and are VERY tough. 

 

They are strong, muscled, stocky and tough little bamf's.

Everyone. Stfu. The men at the Research Labs are doing testing on this. There will be a post soon.

 

Hey, the penny dropped at last! Ten points to White-Roseindor! (If you mean the Tech team, ofc)

 

Paraphrasing Gaius the Wise here: Quit yer bitchin'. Telanir is slaving away at the code-mill, and things will be balanced shortly with additional tweaks and releases.

 

Also, if the dynamics of how combat works are changed, the raiding system will likely be changed to accomodate for this.

 

Oh, also, people really need to shorten their signatures. Jeez.

 

 

 

 

Also there's a small possibility it may just be a mistake in the system. Maaaaaybe.

You do realize that this has been in the works for quite a while, and the Dwarves didn't even get the strongest buff.

Currently:

Orc-+2 damage

Dwarf-+1 Damage

Elf-3 hearts per bow shot

Human-Massive number of players

 

Human number are really, truly, not as big as some people seem to think. Especially when it comes time for battles, because the dwarves in the crossing fight had almost as many people as we did.

I think most questions have now been answered on this topic from the above quote by freya

The number of dwarves we had was only 40. The humans had around 100. there were about 15 kha, 10 orcs, and the rest of our side was humans/elves from our holds.

Because they have pretty much the entire map on their side.

Like I said, almost equal numbers.

[cmack1028 549]

Like I said, almost equal numbers.

 

Yes, with their allies. If it were to be just dwarves vs. Oren, Oren would outnumber by like two and a half times.

[Dreek 1633]

Like I said, almost equal numbers.

Though my post says that the dwarf and orc buffs would not effect the entire army, only about half of it.

[Lago 2572]

Like I said, almost equal numbers.

 

100 humans versus 40 dwarves is not even numbers. Nation balanced against nation, not the previous setup of nation balanced against all the other nations combined.

Two teenagers enter a weight lifting competition.

 

One of the weight lifters began training a year ago. He lifts more than the average man.

 

the other Weight Lifter has been training since he was a child, motivated and pushed by his parents since a really early age. His entire life revolved around weight lifting, if he didn't do good in it he would have everything taken away.

 

Which weight lifter lifts more?

 

That's a good example for all the Humans out there since we always joke around about lifting right? Okay, now apply that to Orcs.

 

The buff is fine. They have like 10 active players. Humans get the most players, Orcs and Dwarves get less players but stronger fighters.

So, I'm not a big fan of the stuper buffs. Not going to lie, I'm not reading 10 pages of, "OMFG **** OREN, or OMFG THESE BUFFS MAN."

 

So, looking at this a bit, Orcs could do some bonus damage, I'm entirely fine with that, but it also brings issue to light. Orcs are stonger, yes, but they're considerably bulkier and slower. If they get a buff in power, they need a nerf in speed.

 

Dwarves are tough little midgets. They should be able to take a good hit, I would have just buffed their health but left everything else alone. Why? Humans have Iron Armed crossbows as well, thus the reason variations of the weapon require setting before use.

 

Humans, the most adaptive of races, not going to lie.. I have no idea what I would give them as any real adjustment would probably unbalance everything.

 

Elves, they're agile. I'd give them the edge with a bow, as steretype dictates and maybe a small boost to speed.

 

Halflings, non-combat race. Probably wouldn't touch them. Leave as is.

 

Kha, unarmed damage, positive someone has said this somewhere in here, claws.

 

 

Even with all this taken into consideration, I would only give out extremely minor advantages. Nothing beyond half a heart in damage and 3 hearts in HP.
