Thanks HF. It's a shame that Abilities can't be flagged with a "no shield" tag. I'm guessing there's probably no easy way (if at all) to set a faction to only use certain weapons in their Tech? Would have liked to make a Faction that only uses 2-Handed Weapons.

Reply to The Spear -- worth it? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

If you search the forums there's been plenty of talk about spears. General answer is that Spears are fine, you just need to build units that take advantage of their perks. The Spear's Reach is generally less valuable in design than the Armor Bypass. In my designs they Spears are used with Shock Troops. Mounted with High Initiative. Done right, spears unit can wipe half of the opposing forces before the AI even gets to take its turn.

Right on Jafo. I sometimes have a bit of trouble explaining to my clients that just because we now have your hard drive in a mirrored Raid, that it only helps protect you against hardware failure. It's not a solution to Fire, Theft, or Data Corruption. If you're working with any application that uses a Database, you still need to back up files because once a database is corrupted it may be impossible to recover/restore without access to a backup.

Reply to Modding questions/help thread in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Hopefully a quick and easy question: I wanted to create an Ability that caused a Strike Exchange. Effectively, I attack enemy, enemy gets a free counterattack. What I'm not seeing is an immediate trigger for Counterattack. Most options would grant a counterattack ability to the enemy, but no response to the immediate strike. The only other thing I can think of is to fake a counterattack by giving a huge temporary stat boost to Initiative.

I have a local partner that has the equipment to do physical drive recovery (disassemble the drive, pull data directly from the platters), and it's not cheap. Usually starting around $400 and goes up depending on the type of work needed for recovery. Not bad considering the national services start around $2000 and go up from there..

Reply to Weapon rebalance ideas/suggestions in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Spears: Are actually better balanced now after the reduction in Armor Piercing. Units designed around Spears are highly effective as Shock Troops on the first turn. Clubs: I'm fine with them excepting that Bash is currently OP. Clubs also have an advantage in that many of the upgrades do not require Metal Axes: Two chances to hit a target. Getting rid of Shields (Axes used to be one-handed) helped balance them out some. Cleave can be really great,

Reply to Remove HD bad sectors? in Everything Else Elemental Forums

A last ditch effort if you're having sector issues is an old program called Spinrite. It will test each sector of your Hard Drive for bad blocks and move whatever data it finds in a bad sector to a good sector. This is NOT a data recovery app, but it may retrieve enough data from bad sectors to bring some files back to life. It also takes forever to finish (days) As Jafo said, if you're starting to get numerous bad blocks, plan on replacing t

I wish they would have used a different design for Choosing Class Paths. Just recently I was checking out the Ranger Mod, but on level up you wouldn't know it was there with scrolling down (no scrollbars apparent). They really should have went with a Wheel/Spoke system so that if a new Class Path was created in the appropriate Mod Folder it would just show up as a new spot on the wheel instead of the Huge Card Placards that are currently in place.
