Level creatures

[Mefisto]

units as they level, change appearance? become larger or some modification?

thanks

Not that I noticed. Though that would be a nice addition. In Dungeon Keeper 1+2 minions and imps learned new skills at various levels - i.e. imps learned to teleport at certain levels or vampires learned to raise the dead or dark mistresses learned a lightning spell and made them a ranged unit or thieves learned invisibility etc. So far in WFTO I have not seen any changes like this.

Creatures in WFTO do not change appearance as they level up, though all intelligent units learn a new skill at level 5. However, these skills are usually not game-change liking the lighting for dark mistresses, and tend to be just a more powerful version of an already existing skill. for example, gnarlings get a more powerful spinning move, crackpots get an extremely high damage potion, etc.

A quick question related to the discussion. Why do some creatures refuse to train even if I drop them into barracks and hit them a few times? Am I missing something?

 

[Psycix]

They have needs, currently dropping and/or slapping doesn't override the needs for a while.

Oh, I see. Is this something that's going to be changed or is this a deliberate design decision?

 

[Psycix]

I hope it's the first, I'm afraid is the latter. You could make a suggestion thread to talk about this.
Void already recently changed it so that the obey spell would force them to override the needs at least.

I might do. I mean there isn't much sense in hitting the creatures or even dropping them for that matter. In a recent game I tried to make oculus' train around 5-6 times, but they stayed at level 1 until pretty much the end of the game because they wanted to sleep every time I dropped them. :\

Where would I make such a thread? Right here in the bedrock beta discussion?

What you are describing there isn't an issue with creature assigning, the issue is since oculuses are beast units, which mean they can't use the training room (or work in any other room) beast units can only fight. the way you train beasts is you place them in the arena

Oooooh ok I see. I knew I was missing something. Thanks! Although if the needs can't be overridden by hitting there's still not much point in hitting. :\

Maybe it's possible to give higher leveled minions a slightly different skin, or some kind of FX/Aura so that you can better differ between low-level minions and high-level minions.

Or at least a setting that would allow to always see the circles with levels over their heads rather than only in combat

I agree. I would like it, and to please everyone, it should be a setting.
