Faction - Labrynna Regime

[Jakeford]

Those illustrations reminded me of something that I'm surprised I didn't think of suggesting beforehand. Perhaps a unique weapon the Labrynna Regime should have could be based on Leonardo da Vinci's 'tank':

It would be modified of course to fit the general theme of the Labrynnians, such as being bronze plated, being steam powered (and possibly moved from the inside by Tokay slaves), and with numerous 'windows' from which gunners could fire from.

Another idea for a weapon for their Navy would be ships based on ironclads. In this case they would be covered in bronze instead (bronzeclads?) and powered by Labrynnian steam engine technology. They could be more damage resilient and faster than most other naval units (save for those of the zora) but be much more expensive to build and upkeep, just to balance them out.

ahhh the battle of the iron clads! the bronzeclads would have to be WAY more powerful then any other ship in the game because one iron clad could pretty much take out fleets of wooden ships when they came out, but your idea can't happen unless ships are added to HTW

[Eldren]

both are good examples of how the Labrynna Regime think. in my opinion.

[Ulfgard the Unmaker]

I'm not saying it's bad, but the da Vinci tank looks very... either flying saucer-y or circus tent-y. I AM, however, digging the ironclad suggestion.

Have Pathfinders not been integrated into the campaign yet?

[King_of_Spoons64]

personally, I'd rather see some sort dragoons as their cavalry.

[deusvult6]

Regime Indoctrination House/School/Academy?

Distribution of Chairwoman Veran's Little Bronze Book?

Or perhaps something more aggresively anti-deity? E.g. Secret Police force branch/HQ, or some other deliberate practicioner-hunting organization.

Mech's are OP beyond recognition. Out of curiosity, I tested a mass of mech infantry (me) versus Gerudo's Iron Knuckles and Darnut Dieties (AI (AS ONE TEAM) and wihout doing much other than circling two squads around to flank the enemy, demolished them all with more than 3/4ths of my army still standing. If anything, I think Gerudo Knucle units and Labrynnian Mechs should be on the same level

Suggestion for calvary unit: Gunner Mech, with like, rifles built on the arms?

I've been playing too much Chromehounds.

Well I'd assume that making a whole mass of them would be financially draining/overwhelming for any economy, so I believe that already nerfs them a bit.

Maybe designed a bit like Samus' arm cannon, in a reference to another popular Nintendo series? Or perhaps better, designed like the hand-held, bazooka-like cannon used by Auru in TP.



On a different note, I found some concept art of Veran showing a different outfit design:

will labrynna eventually get cannon towers and diplomats?

[GoldenGohma]

You know, would a few larger Mechs work as bodyguards for Veran? Then we could make her a general again, right?

[Saria's Vanguard]

does anyone else have difficulty keeping Queen Ambi from defecting from her own faction? I've tried playing Labrynna Regime 3 times and each time she left and took half of my army

[GoldenGohma]

Well, I wouldn't exactly know about situations like that because I usually keep my Faction "Leaders" in a capital. . . which helps prevent them from defecting. I'm not sure how to help with that situation though.

[Ulfgard the Unmaker]

Sorry folks, I've been away. A thought just occurred to me when reading through this thread, though. A battle between the Kokiri and Labrynna could potentially be terrible in terms of playability. If, by some tactical fluke, the Kokiri only had barricades remaining and Labrynna only had gunner posts remaining... I guess the only way to account for this would be to force-quit the battle and take a defeat or wait for the battle to time out (if you use the timer. I know I don't.)

Ah yes. I was wondering why you could never tell units in barricades to leave their barricades, though. . . I assume, of course, the engine. Again.

I never have that issue because i always take a few cannons into battle with me

[gruegirl]

Will Labrynna ever get a religious building? Maybe a university that converts people to their no deity worship? They get some HARSH happiness penalties if they don't...

[Emrys]

@Gruegirl
I do believe that was the plan.

[Drazule]

Has anybody else had issue with Veran? Besides me just no being able to figure how to use her (is she ranged cavalry? Is she just supposed to charge in melee? She dies quick), I don't think I've ever been able to auto resolve a battle without her dying. All I do is keep her in a city and let her rot because she isn't even a governor.

On another note, Veran is spelled "Verab" in part of the introduction text that you get on turn 2.

yeah, I never found Veran useful. She a spell caster so supposedly she can take down gates, so you would think she would be a good support unit, but every time I trot her out with an army she turns traitor ( literally every time). either way if your using her auto battle is out of the question because auto battle loves killing her despite the fact she is still there with one unit left (think it has to do with total war scrapping units if there are not enough units in the stack anymore.)

[D_E]

Veran is currently set to be a melee attacker, like Sulkaris. For some reason she has a dummy ranged attack set as her primary weapon. There is also a bug with her HP, I believe she is supposed to have 6 hp, but if so it is set wrong (currently says "stat_health 1, 6", but according to Total War Heaven and my own tests, it's the FIRST number that specifies the amount of HP, while the second number has no function. So I think it should say "stat_health 6, 6" or similar. Pretty much all the boss units are affected by this mistake, if a mistake it is...)
