Post your screenshots of horrible battle layouts

[Enevhar Aldarion]

Got this one last week. With the boosts I had running, the enemies should have been beaten fairly easily on auto-fight. I lost two times before I loaded in one troop to look at the terrain. And yes, there is exactly one access point to the enemy side of the field.

Straight up Frogs on that map, hit them as they funnel through. The enemy units will not get 1 hit in on manual, and. on auto with frogs you should still make out like a bandit. Hell even crapy cannoneers/mortars should get the same results

Edit: in case you didnt know, using a faster unit would be better then using dogs to scout a map. dogs are one of the last units to move and if the map was open there might have been a chance to take damage from the enemies before you could exit. Rangers are great map scouting units

Got this one last week. With the boosts I had running, the enemies should have been beaten fairly easily with light melee on auto-fight. I lost two times before I loaded in one troop to look at the terrain. And yes, there is exactly one access point to the enemy side of the field. I won the fight using light ranged, which would have not survived in more open terrain.

Oh good grief! That IS awful.

Had the one with mages with only space to move, they need two to reach tha back of the board for first strike. So the Sorceresses could just hammer us

Edited out the details of the fight because that is not what this thread is about. Just post your horrible terrains, so that we can feel sad for the mobile players who cannot ever see this or compensate for the unexplained losses.

And THIS is why Elvenar's so-called "battle system" is nothing more than a giant dumpster fire.

If we had competent devs who understood that 2+2=4, we wouldn't this kind of atrocious garbage...
Even the absolute worst Fire Emblem maps aren't this game-breakingly stupid.

I believe they have either a twisted sense of humor, or when they get pissed off they create that mess.

This one happened more recently... There mages vs my archers (auto-fight) and i got my ass handed to me. Turns out they had a cannon guy in the center there with an attack range of 10..

All these terrain layouts with a single access point should be thrown out.

*Channeling Inno* Now where would be the fun in that?

No. The ENTIRE BATTLE SYSTEM itself, badly *needs* to be thrown out and rebuilt from scratch!

They'll prob ask, "What funnel maps?" They've never come across any because they're catering.

This one favored Heavy Melee... Well, I mean, in theory.

The fact that it seems like over 50% of maps end up like this, is why melee units are flaming garbage and range is king.
5x Priests would easily obliterate this with almost 0 losses.

Maybe. Take those maps and use auto-fight and see how dumb the AI is with your troops. lol

I've had plenty of maps like that an on auto-fight honestly, and they're pretty much AI-proof...

I basically never touch melee units anymore, simply because I was getting far too many auto fights where they should have won handily, only to be wiped out.
When I go in with just 1x LR to see why the system screwed up an obvious win, I see that kind of fethed up terrain and then hit it with 5x Priest/Blossoms turn the room blue with extremely colourful comments about the sheer brain-dead stupidity of Elvenar devs.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

I don't think anyone has ever tried to document all the terrain possibilities, or at least none of the Elvenar-related sites I know of have them posted. But because of the limited size of the combat area, the number of variations will be limited too, so if I have the time next week, I may just take a screen shot of every layout I get and see just how "random" they really are.

I used 5 mortars for many maps like this and won every one of them at no loss with the exception of encounters that the enemy had priests, mist walkers (on the open side i.e positions 4 and 5) or mortar/frog. But even then, I replaced one mortar with a priest or Xbowman and won with only 1% losses to my troops
However, it would be much uglier outcome if my mortars were below 3* or I had to fight without fire phoenix and the sanctury!

 

[Raccon]

A typical killer map, even 5 space mages lose their first shot, having to wait for enemy to come closer, and usually the enemy takes the first shot at them.

@Raccoon I hate that map, what a heart-breaker and time-waster
