The Deadzone is comprised of two parts: an invulnerability zone, and a suicide zone. I believe it's still up for debate whether or not using the deadzone is a bannable offense for "abusing a bug", as I've heard arguments for both sides, but that doesn't change the fact that it's there (on all maps except Town, for some reason), and is an important part of flying. Open up on the throttle and try to get to the dead zone at the edge of the map. Pull negative G's in turns to slow yourself down, trying to get your opponent to overshoot you. Pull up to bait the enemy into following you, which exposes them to your friend
HEROES GENERALS NOOB ADVICE HOW TO
Know how to evade: If you're in VoIP with friends, let them know you're being tailed (or not, if you're a lonely soul). Cranking up your mouse sensitivity (I use a mouse with multiple DPI settings) can also help for moments when you just need to do a sharp turn but don't want to lose your throttle control in Debug controls. If you don't know what they are, they basically allow you to max out your control surfaces for super sharp turns. This includes mastery of Debug controls, which are accessed by holding Shift (Debug controls + Orbit cam) or Ctrl (Just Debug controls). The precision control of the craft is absolutely critical for lining up shots. Learn to use Classic controls ASAP, if you're using any other control setup. The problem is that people tend to emphasize that importance a little TOO much, which results in teams losing games because they don't have enough boots on the ground.Īs long as you're willing to be the team player and use aux seats to help your ground game when your team is too overpopulated with pilots, it's a solid skill to pick up and can be a great cash earner. The only way winter can harm your military aspirations is by reducing your movement, which is more like an offset to fact you have easy access to extra movement points from empire plan for about half the game.To be the devil's advocate here, flying is a very important part of the game. You actually might want to send many decoy armies of these mobile cannonfodder to waste the AI´s movement and action points. This way, it doesn´t matter if your cannonfodder dies. You want, above anything, to have huge industry in order to make at least half an army every turn when you´re at war. You don´t want to field converted mercenaries (or even keep them), since they´re an absolute waste of military upkeep. You want to shamelessly buy resources you don´t have from the market in order to equip your units as soon as possible. You want high initiative cannon fodder with very little to no expensive equipment, like Fanatics, Gauran, Nidya and Dorgeshi. You want them with a large proportion of Nameless Guards with the best weapon you can afford and the cultist quest-accessory. You want at least two strong generals fast, before turn 30/40 for fast speed or 40/60 for normal. The things is, if you time your attacks right, you won´t lose many units, not important ones anyway (fully equipped Nameless Guards). Like Frogsquadron said, timing is very important on the hardest difficulties because it gives the AI an opportunity to capitalize on the only advantage it has over you, which are their economic bonuses. So, yeah, a little advise for the winter would be nice! Thank you. I hope, i dont need an so much levelled hero on each of my armies. I can take one hero with my army with those "no winter effect" skill. (Yes i know, i maybe lose this game - we will see) (espacially the biggest enemy has 8-slotted armys with sometimes level-14-units or something and i have just 8 slotted with level 5 or 6). Putting all my Army in converted cities means: Here an army, there an army, easy targets for near enemys. They regen in the own territory or in thoose creep cities they convert.īut the map is big and I cant stay near my territory. I'm just wondering how cultist armys will survive long winters outside of the only one territory they own.Įvery round they drop some health till they die. Brutal difficulty, Round 271 at the moment, but still not big or something, because im new to this game.
