I know Wiz Me too >_< if it were to go off, that would have been the most epic overkill EVER!!!!!
1984
Just read a lot of the suggested changes and a lot of which i read from raven makes a lot of sense. Paladin's should only have a skill set that helps them tank and be a HP giver i.e. transfusion. Dia moving to the priest skill set sounds like a good idea to me. It deals damage based on MA anyways and MA on a Paladin (even female) is pretty low for it to do enough damage (unless you're going for anti-charm/confusion but charm seems to be more apparent then anything else)

Ninjitsu elemental changes i'm fine with from fdc because ninjas tend to use elements other than fire/thunder/ice anyways plus they seem to be more dark based somewhat to an extent. though again it doesn't matter to me either way if katon/raiton/suiton stays the same or not. just what fdc suggests does make sense

For summons, I think leviathan and salamander should hit harder because the amount of damage they inflict is pitiful really. not many people would use leviathan or salamander anyways. sure the AoE is big but the damage is disappointing in my opinion. Watch ET vs Raven and see that leviathan only did 200 damage with faith status which isn't really a lot at all. compat might have something to do with it too but still, underwhelming damage IMO. Lich is fine as it is. Silf should do damage as well as don't act/don't move because relying on that just for the proc is not worth it really like fdc said. Odin I think should stay the same as a AoE instant death. death sentence wouldn't really fit Odin IMO. Or maybe what you can do is have it damage but had a chance to inflict death. non elemental. though whatever works is fine. Just no death sentence >_<

procs on the daggers i.e. platina dagger should be maybe 33% or 25% if it can only go down that far. whatever it takes to nerf it.

Hidden Knife I think is fine. Scorpion Tail non dual wielding is fine because if not then its like  "welcome to one shot heaven bitches!"

Draw Out seems fine to me, though I agree with the fact that koutetsu should be lowered back to AoE 2 because 3 is too large for it to be more of a popular choice than other DO's.

Lancers with base speed 8...well....would make them jump at better timing but they were meant to be faster than paladin's anyways and jump is the better skillset anyways between the two classes. that's why you have someone with 8 speed and have jump as a secondary so its fine either way really.

mediator's stats do need to be toned down a bit because they outclass almost every other MA user (except for scholar) andthey are just ridiculous to deal with like Raven said. though I wouldn't lower it too too much because that devalue their chances with talk skill. (But then again you can use talk skill on a secondary on another MA user so that solves it essentially) but if you're going to nerf mediator stats might as well re balance chemists stats so they are even. otherwise just keep them the same.

Other than that, I'm fine with whatever changes are made for 1.34

looks like in rounds 2 & 3 the tables were turned on you after what happened in round 1. Well your rivals team still is dangerous nonetheless. GG formerdeathcorps, good hard hitting match we had together


Cursed Ring decided to be good to me in this match :D but I think I'll change my team around a little bit. GG CT5Holy, Do Not Disturb is still as good as ever IMO

Looks like those monks and oracles are the new bullies of the playground


Give him the stick, DON'T GIVE HIM THE STICK!


Despite good tanking, like mentioned on IRC, Scorpion Tail is a hard counter to 40/40 units especially when the ninja is running around with salty rage


Good match CT5Holy but when your units bunched themselves up, that's when my team starts to make quick work cause they don't get paid by the hour :P


2 stone gun attack up mediators equals path of destruction


Round 1 was close, Round 2 not so much


Charm is just damn sexy...just saying :D

Barren check the Brave and Faith on my bards in Diamonds and Guns. I think one of them has the values flipped. Should be 70/40, not 40/70. That would have made some difference in the last match I think.


Just checked and you're right, I did had the brave and faith levels flipped somehow. thanks for catching that, now its fixed :P

Barren thank you so much for doing the battle!! You know how much I lurv your videos!! I truly do appreciate the time :) and the wonderful trolling you did in the beginning. I was actually convinced that it was true XD.

Good work RR, I guess your knowledge of AI helped you out XD. You might have won this battle but there is a war still among us!! You just wait my good sir ;)

LET IT BE KNOWN!! In the Grudge Match, I actually did win two battles and RR won two himself ... so I consider this a tie :D



Well I'm glad you enjoyed the video dinosaur :) i really enjoyed doing commentary with CCP and its a refreshing experience from all those Arena videos which I am still currently doing. As I said on chat the other night i'll say it to you: Thank you for watching this special episode of CCP AI Battle! I'm glad you enjoyed the fight!

Okay, though I deserved to lose to Mimic Daravon, that first match has a problem... you got FDC's team wrong somehow, Barren, despite me telling you he updated it on iRC before you recorded it.  One of his Mediators is still missing its Stone Gun.  That's the only reason he could Mimic Daravon me on the first turn like that... else he would've eaten a Flare to the face, likely losing two units on the first round, and my Chemist would've been mobile, giving me my full force to strike with on the second turn while he was rebuilding.  That error honestly seems like the only reason he won the first game.  The second game's map is just a piece of shit and should probably never be used again in its current state. The terrain is lopsided as hell, and every time I see it I have to ask who the fuck decided on those ridiculously biased starting positions because they're retarded and should never be allowed to touch this or any other tactical game ever again and be forced to shatter and eat their game disk with a nice tall glass of milk.  If I had been player 2 and FDC had been player 1, I probably would've won instead, especially if he correctly had two Stone Gun Mediators instead of one, for the exact reason he beat me on it.  That's just... so dumb.

Looks like I need to adjust my team slightly, though, since Rellia's Chakra isn't healing for enough, but that's easy to fix.


Still gotta watch the rest later.


Damn, my bad Raven >_<

I'll give you a rematch sometime tomorrow and pick different maps too
