Re: The Book of Acolarh
Quote:
(It doesn't help with molten lava or other insta-kill situations, though.) So, an Aubrien Archer who wants to disengage while in the aura has a 61.24% chance of surviving instead of only a 50% chance. It's not stealth armor, but it's worth considering. |

Re: The Book of Acolarh
Great. That's what I was hoping, but I began to over-analyze it after reading some of the earlier posts in this thread.

Re: The Book of Acolarh
I busted Acolarh out for a game with Mittens and Aubriens. He helped ALOT (but Mittens helped more, scoring me 5 Frenzies in a row...but that's not the point). He saved 7 Aubriens (Well...saved Aubriens 7 times) from falling to Moriko's Saber Storm, until she finally decided to go for him instead. He's worth 110.

Re: The Book of Acolarh
Acolarh isn't as horrible as people say. He's not well suited for most tournaments, but there are maps/point or hex totals where he can be effective. I'm considering him for at least one GenCon event.
-- (I'm inclined to tell a story about how my Acolarh took down Matthias in my first game of Heroscape, but I'm just too good a sport to bring it up. Besides, then he'd bring up something about orcs on Broken Hope.) |

Re: The Book of Acolarh
I could see Acolarh, Raelin, and a bunch of WoA being a tough nut to crack in the Heat of Battle format.

I get binomial(10, 3, 1/6) = 0.155 which gives the archer a 65.50% chance of survival. The binomail function is defined here Did you get the 11.24 from a table somewhere? Edit: Actually, if we take into account that you could roll more than 3 symbols, then the chance goes up to 22.48% Last edited by Obsidian; July 7th, 2009 at 02:02 PM. Reason: Recalculate |

Re: The Book of Acolarh
I think he would be great in a 600 point elf wizard army with ulginesh. I will say that I'd rather have raelin with Aubrien Archers since they have 7 range and can easily stay in her aura. Their average of 0.67 shields and 1 shield if they have height become 1.33 shields and 1.67 shields respectively. This may help more than Acolarh...Aldin can you do the math?

Re: The Book of Acolarh
Brownsfan,
Against an attack of 3, AAs have a 62.5% of getting killed, 50.9% if they have height advantage. Acolarh removes 22.5% of those deaths - that's a 14.1% improvement without height advantage, and an 11.5% improvement with height advantage. Raelin changes the percentage chance of dying to 40.7% and 32.1%, respectively - that's a 21.8% improvement without height advantage, and an 18.8% improvement with height advantage. Either way, Raelin offers a bigger edge. |

Re: The Book of Acolarh
Against an attack of three. The higher the attack the better of a deal Acolarh is in comparison. Also, his aura is MUCH bigger.

Re: The Book of Acolarh
Acolarh has become my new favorite flag bearer. Here are some of my favorite armies for him:
Acolarh 110 Sonlen 160 Kyntella Gwyn 20 WoA x4 200 Otonashi/Isamu Total 500 Acolarh 110 Theracus 40 Syvarris 100 WoA x5 250 (I only have 4, so I might sub in Arkmer.) Total 500 Acolarh 110 Theracus 40 Aubrien Archers x5 350 Total 500 I'm not saying they're the best, but they fair averagely. |
