Impending change with stats

[Vextor]

Phase 12 was a testing phase for me to analyze the effects of stats and how things should go from here. The result is that the effect of victory counts must change.

Currently, as many of you know, victory counts affect the STR stat disproportionately. This is increasingly becoming a problem not only in duels, but also in regiment power balances. The importance of other stats have become diminished as people accumulate more victory counts.

Victory count currently factors into each member's experience and STR. However, both of these will be eliminated: victory counts will only affect regiment attack, regiment defense, and leadership. This will result in a very drastic change to your individual stats, but this also means that victory counts will bring better benefits for those who have regiment types that do not rely on the STR stats, and those that do rely on STR will basically get the same bang for the buck. However, duel results will likely change as a result of this, because MAG will be barely affected through this change.

This change will be active from phase 13.

Along with this change, I'll be redoing some of the regiment stats, so expect some irregularities as I go around testing stuff.

[Vextor]

Yes, exactly.

[Kalidor]

Mmmm, I really like the sound of this change. It will give a more even playing field to the magic using units. I look forward to seeing just how the changes work out, Vector.

[Archy]

Well, I did think it was quite odd that my strength suddenly just kazoomed up after that victory. Which is abit usefless to me, seeing as how as I'm a magician.

And, ah, it will come into effect starting Phase 13, so I suppose that doesn't change any of my stats gains for Phase 12.

Good to know about this, I am a Magician regiment after all. :D

Question: Will victories still affect EXP, or is this just mostly a STR-based change?

After testing stuff, it seems like the change I envisioned simply doesn't balance out. Because of this, I'll be changing my original plan. More details later.

P.S: This also means Phase 13 will be delayed further.

[Elc]

Take all the time you need, there's no rush. I can't speak for the others, but I'd rather sit through a delay so things can be done right than jump right into another phase and have things off kilter.

This will also give me time to perfect my nefarious plots. MUAHAHA.

Seriously though Sars, no one is going to be upset by a delay.

I'm going to delay stat changes until the beginning of phase 14, due to the fact that most of my time last week has been spent dealing with other database issues. Stats for phase 13 will thus remain status quo.
