Bolg - His attacks against a hero or a building, a monster are too fast. In one swing of the weapon deals 2 blows. When reaching 10 points as part of a squad, Bolg deals permanent splash damage.

Tom, Bill, Bert - The ability to "Make some jelly" causes a bowler on the field, but does not restore health points to the troll himself. Troll Tom, Bill, Bert in close combat has a low radius of destruction of enemy units.

The Hunter has too little armor. Having level 10, even a squad of orcs can kill him.

That's intended, he is a scout! The fighting is done by the elite cavalry he can summon instead.

Smaug when he has the ring does not work as intended. His passive ability Greed of the Last Dragon which is the cornestone of his new power does work at all.


I simply tested 3 different pathes by making a save of my game when he was Smaug the Golden at level 4 because Greed of the Golden Dragon comes at level 5.

-The first time, Smaug the Golden was level 4 and attacked an ennemy building (a Gondorian citadel). I had 24 000 resources at that time

-The second time, with the same amount of resources, I pushed Smaug to level 5 before attacking the same building with 24 000 resources still

-The third time, I spend all of my money in units in order for my resources to fall at 800 and attacked the citadel when he is still level 4

      In all of those 3 cases, there is any difference, (or a not small one due to the changing of level) to the amount of damage Smaug did to that citadel per hit

From that, my conclusion is that the main concept of his ring power simply just not work at all, because there is no reason that if damage isn't changed, armor would be changed differently, and indeed, Smaug the Golden doesn't feel more powerful then he is level 5 with 10 000 resources in the player's possession than when he is level 4.


That is I think the main reason he is considered so bad as a Ring Hero, and fall for example last in the ranking of Naodline, I think more than a concept problem, it is just that his main power mechanism is fully bugged that makes him so bad. With 100% more damage and armor I think Smaug The Golden could be considered much better, even without the possibility to fly.

I always wondered if the original and wonderful concept behind his "Greed of the Last Dragon" ability was easy to make work, but in matter of fact, it does not work for the time being.

Thanks for the testing, bug was found and will be fixed for the next release.

Supply routes don't apply to the Troll's Hoard from the 3 Trolls ability. And as their number is not limited...
However, this may be not a bug, I don't know if that was done intentionnally or not.

It's more of a balance oversight than a bug but regardless we will be sure to have a look at the numbers before the next release

When Gundabad is repairing itself after some damage taken, the action of repairing count as if a new Gundabad tunnel was erected.

Therefore it is possible to have only one citadel of Gundabad and Goblin Town tunnel and having the price for Goblin Town and Gundabad of 7750 if the one Gundabad tunnel we possess has been constantly under attack without falling.

It has to fall for the price to come back to 250.

Smaug turns out to be invisible after being targeted by Lurtz cripple shot. this invisibility is not temporary.

When ennemy units destroy part of scaffoldings, especially while it's building up, it deters from building in the same place when all the segments of scaffoldings are not destroyed.

See when this Goblin Town barrack is building up :




See when one segment of scaffoldings remain which prevent from rebuilding a buidling. (that is the case even when ennemies are not near) :





There are also cases when a Goblin Town building is destroyed and where some scaffoldings linked to the tunnel don't fall, and the case where we decide to reorganize adn destroy a Goblin Town building and with the same issue.
