However, since the healing effects are not carried over to strategic map, there is no need for any trickery - units can't come out of battles with more health than they started with, obviously (albeit, going into a battle and casting combat healings may still avoid wounded units becoming more wounded) and you don't need to artificially lengthen battles now in order to make use of unused healing abilities to make sure you come out of battle full strength. So, clearly, IN BATTLE healing (and also, by the way, preserving health by making use of defensive effects) is much more important than it previously was (keep also in mind that retaliation rules seems to have changed). Not only that - since losing health results in losing models and losing models result in damage-dealing loss, temporary combat healing also makes sure you keep a good damage output. So looking at it just from a battle perspective, your healers are pretty great now, therefore important, therefore life savers. I can give my two cents, based on what I saw in the streams:įor one thing, the healing effects IN BATTLE are now more pronounced: healer supports can obviously heal more than one unit at the same time and can also heal more than once per battle. All this means that instead of taking 5 combats every turn, maybe now you can only take 3 at max, and then you should give your troops a well deserved break. So instead of healing damage, now you'll prevent/shield damage. Secondly, you can still temporarily heal your units at the beginning of the combat, and then keep doing it beacuse healings are not single use anymore. Firstly, you've got form traits, hero support skills and probably spells, enchantments and transformations too that speed up strategic map regeneration. And anyway, it is not like healing will not be a viable strategy anymore. I think temporary HP is a good change because it will make me spend more time playing and less time exploiting the system.
Did it feel like cheating and made me spend a lot of time artificially extending battles to end up with a full healed army? Oh yes. As someone who has exploited AoW3 healing (Theocrat + Creation/Water + Orc/Draconian) ad nauseam. Click to expand.This, a million times this, honestly.
