Critical Strike

2026-01-12T08:36:44Z

Magewarfelix: Code was reverted back to 2019 version in 2023, the 1.5 that was initially intended isn’t valid anymore.

Critical Strike increases the Random [[Damage_Modifier|Damage Modifier]] of an [[Attack_Type|attack]] by 0.25

*MAGIC or PSYCHIC: From 0.5 '''''TO''''' 0.75
*ANY OTHER ATTACK TYPE: From a Range of [0.25 to 0.75] '''''TO''''' [0.50 to 1.00]

As of 12/08/15 it appears that [[Phase_Step|Phase Step]] is the only effect which adds Critical Strike to a stack.

{{Herostats

The Shieldmaidens are women who have lost their friends and loved ones in battle, and have grown tired of watching the endless slaughter of war. Knowing they cannot stop the wars of the great mages, they themselves have taken up arms in an effort to prevent as much bloodshed as possible.

Magic Favor

2023-08-13T06:54:25Z

Magewarfelix: « ATLEAST » 14.

== Description ==

*'''Magic, the Mother of All and Nothing'''

*The goddess of Magic is neutral. Her titles include the Uncaring and Archmage of the Deities. Magic is a distant deity who promotes no special agenda in the world of mortals. As a goddess of magic and knowledge, she is worshipped by wizards, sorcerers, and other magicians. Her greatest gift is that of raw magical power. Magic is portrayed as a tall, dignified, beautiful woman, though she can take the form of an owl or a human sage of either gender as well. She spends her time studying. Her studies have taken her deep into the nature of magic and given her a greater understanding and power over magic than any have ever had before. She has a disdain for any creature or person of Terra who does not use the magical arts, especially those who rely on technology instead. Their distain for magic is the main reason why she hates the Science God's followers so much. She is erratic in giving power, as it interferes with her studies. But if she meets a truly learned and powerful follower, she will often grant special magical abilities.

Lucifer Favor

2023-08-02T21:50:51Z

Magewarfelix: Modified the « 30M on lightning » which appears outdated.

== Description ==

*'''Lucifer, the Fallen Angel'''

*Lucifer is the newest of the gods, rising to the power of a deity only recently. Although he is the youngest god and has the fewest followers, his power is growing and his ranks swelling. He is said to be mysterious and exotic, and his followers indulge themselves in all forms of debauchery. Lucifer is seductive as only an immortal can be, disarming in his innocence, and utterly beguiling in his manner. Lucifer appears to his followers as a young man, fresh, with the vigours of youth, but he can assume male, female, or hermaphrodite form at will. Rumors say that even the elven Moon goddess is charmed by the new god. At heart though, he is still a cruel fallen archangel, and his followers often experience occasional outburst of fury as his mood is ever changing. He was considered insane even when he was the leader of the angels of vengeance in the God of the Sky's armies. Most of his war expeditions ended in blood baths, genocides, and exterminations of entire nations. Finally Sun lost his patience and banished Lucifer from the heavens forever. This took place in an epic battle between the Highfather and his first lieutenant. After his downfall, only the Lord of the Nine Hells could see his potential and tried to control it to his own ends. With his help, Lucifer achieved god status on Terra, but in fact Lucifer never liked the worn-out evil facade of the Blood Lord's policies, and he broke away as soon as he could. Lucifer's followers on Terra tend to be absolute. They fall into endless fascination with their god. He grants them part of his charm to control living beings, and he can also bestow part of the power he learned from Satan to control the undead and demons. Army leaders so influenced are able to recruit more units and those units fight more efficiently under charismatic leaders, both living and undead.

== Favor ==

=== Requirements ===

*Donate Minimum 15,000,000 Geld or 10% of your current Geld (Including items/heroes/units/spells you are selling and buying)

The White Knight is a noble warrior, clad in glistening armor and hailing from the northern regions of ice and snow where even the Archmagi dare not travel. White Knights are gallant, and all but fearless in battle, living to slay the nightmares of others.

Hell Fire

{{Itemstats

This giant two-handed sword resembles flames. The whole sword bursts into fire when it is wielded, but the bearer must use a lot of magic energy to sustain it. It enhances wielders and everyone in proximity attack power. The blow of a flaming sword can vapourize any normal material. Any creature struck by the Hell Fire will be ignited into a burning torch. In addition, this swords' magic seems to greately empower creatures akin to fire.

== Effects ==

*Increases all friendly units' [[Primary_Attack|Primary]], [[Extra_Attack|Extra]] and [[Counter|Counter]] [[Attack_Power|AP]] without a [[Fire|Fire]] [[Attack_Type|Attack Type]] by 10%

Concentration

2023-07-15T20:32:58Z

Magewarfelix: Added the fact Concentration has no effect on skill research

{{Spellstats
| description =
This is one of the most important spells for Phantasm mage. This enchantment will allow a mage to achieve a perfect equilibrium of mind. It will enhance the mage's ability of casting spells, researching and summoning effectivness.
| image =
| unit =
}}

== Effects ==

*Decreases the chance of failure in casting off-color spells.
*Reduces [[Research|research]] time by (0.05 x [[Spell_Level|Spell Level]])% for all colors, including Gods' conc.

While having 264 own conc and 777 Magic conc, Flame Shield went from 30,000 to 14,385 or a 52.05% reduction 0.05 x (264+777)% = 52.05%.

When God's conc expired, cost was 26,040 or a 13.2% reduction (0.05 x 264)%.

Tested for phantasm mage with the same numbers showing.

Old info:

*Decreases research time by (0.1 x [[Spell_Level|Spell Level]])% when cast on-color {{blue}}.
*Decreases research time by (0.05 x [[Spell_Level|Spell Level]])% when cast by adjacent color {{white}}{{black}}mages.
*Decreases research time by (0.033 x [[Spell_Level|Spell Level]])% when cast by opposite color {{green}}{{red}} mages.
*Decreases research time by 77.7% when cast by a [[GodFavour|god]].

'''Effective August 2009 Concentration: Gives the same research bonus to all colors.'''

 

*{{blue}} @ SL651 took my Dryad summoning from ~1800 to ~3300, so it increases summoning yields as well.

 

*When cast ''on-color'', it increases summoning using ''off-color'' [[:category:Spells|summoning spells]].
**Since it is a {{Blue}} enchantment, this works for casting {{Red}},{{Green}},{{Black}} and {{White}} units by Phantasm mages.

Concentration increases the success rate of a spell using the following formula: x (100% + ( SPL of Concentration / 2900 ))

Example: If your success rate is 80% and you have SPL 600 concentration, then your success rate becomes 96.55%

 

Nota Bene: Concentration has no effect on skill research

Pre-orders

2011-04-01T09:23:43Z

Magewarfelix: /* subtlety */

== General Concept ==

Pre-orders allows to bid on items while being absent, or, self-explanatory, "orders pre-emptively while the item is not yet on the market", example: pre-ordering 1 ash of invisibility at X amount while ash of invisibility is not yet on the market. It is not possible to pre-order on an item that is already on the market, as it would not be a "pre" order, and it'd strongly abuse the market while bidding for no turn cost (depending of the server).

Pre-orders don't work the same way on Arch & Archwar than on other servers. For A&AW, it costs 1 turn to set a pre-order, and with a maximum of 1 pre-order with a cap of 5 items (e.g.: 5 ash of invisibility) while on the others there is an unlimited amount of pre-orders possible, for free, which makes it able to buy things on the BM without spending a turn (which on the other hand boosts inflation on servers such as guild/blitz greatly).

----

== subtlety ==

A question was what would happen if two (or more) persons have set a same pre-order (same item, same price); at first it was thought it would randomly pick inbetween pre-orderers, but it isn't, actually the first one to have set the pre-order gets it. Meaning, if you see an item getting pre-ordered at 20m, don't set the pre-order at 20m too else there is strong chances that you will never get it if the person has set for "999" items, you would have to set it a bit higher.

Meaning, if you see an item getting pre-ordered at 20m, don't set the pre-order at 20m too else there's strong chances that you never get it if the person has set for "999" items, you would have to set it a bit higher.

== General Concept ==

Pre-orders don't work the same way on Arch & Archwar than on other servers. For A&AW, it costs 1 turn to set a pre-order, and with a maximum of 1 pre-order with a cap of 5 items (e.g.: 5 ash of invisibility) while on the others there is an unlimited amount of pre-orders possible, for free, which makes it able to buy things on the BM without spending a turn (which on the other hand boosts inflation on servers such as guild/blitz greatly).
