Unstoppable Balkoth

[szopen]

In unmodded version of game I find Balkoth (and maybe other flying shooters) really unbeatable.
Once, Balkoth flew over a hole in ground, you know, there are many of them on a battlefield. From there, he was taking out enemy units one by one, and before i done something, he killed 1/2 of the opposing army.
I checked this by sending him alone to batle a lv.8 tower. He was only lv.5. Took aim on enemy shooters first (from above a hole), then anyone else. Few battles like this, and the dark lord had lv.12 and several powerfull artifacts. Few turns spent in a mage tower lv.3, and I could produce death and fire mages of lv.8 at start...

It's too big unbalance. I don't know whether it was changed in mod (not played yet), but I think it's thing one must repair.

Don't worry Boaster I'll take this one.



In the mod Balkoth has been replaced with a "normal" champion

First of all, Balkoth is the Lord of Death and answers only to Golgoth. Secondly, his artifact makes him much more powerful. Steal the scythe, if you can.

Secondly, Balkoth can be beaten with magic. A couple of Hands of Fate will really knock him dead.

Finally, you're playing the unmodded version of the game. You should be happy that Balkoth is as powerful as he is. In the mod, you might find him even more difficult to beat.

Actually, AI is too stupid to use such a basic tactic. What I wrote was things Balkoth done under my controll, so, I don't worry about beating him, but about playing with death will become too easy.
Arrr, I finaly must try playing death in modded version. For now, your mod seems to be great, improves basic LOMSE a lot.

I agree, and that's what I try for.
