Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!
Gawain honestly looks like he really enjoys Halloween-I mean, just look at his devilish mask.

Remember-REGISTER

ANYONE who plays this game seriously should register an account. There have been countless examples of people losing accounts because they forget to register. So remember-REGISTER!

Also, sorry I missed a post yesterday, I was very tired and not feeling that well so I didn't post.

The Chariot Lord

I believe I now have an explanation for one of the most ancient mysteries of Mini Warriors.

The chariot lord.

My theory/explanation is based off of the fact that Uriah and the Chariot Lord are never shown at the same time. When there is the Griffin Knight version of Uriah, the Chariot Lord does not exist. But when there is the Chariot Lord, there is not Griffin Knight.

So, my theory is that the Chariot Lord is ACTUALLY URIAH. There are small counters against this, but so far I have found nothing I can't counter. Anyways, it would make sense to have such a OP-looking hero worth 1000 US Dollars.

Post your opinion on this tough warrior below!

If you try to contradict me, I will debate against your contradictions, but please, only friendly debate!

Mini Warriors Trailer

Found this trailer for Mini Warriors, and if you pause the video at certain points you can see heroes that have never been added to the game. Firstly, the savages look COMPLETELY different. Also, can you find the potion-brewer, native chief, and white knight? Also, the Chariot figure is in the video!

Brutal Pumpkin Heads

I don't know if it's worth it to buy this...

I'll probably just get the Hades Ring and give it to Ignatius.

Halloween v2

Well, last Halloween I was still a noob and didn't get much of the stages done. Anyways, I'm qutie glad it's returned. YAY for PUMPKINS!

Just screenshots for everyone to enjoy about my gameplay:

My progress as of Halloween 2014 (:/)

This is underpowered....

Cool pumpkin head!

Hey, look! The last stage was called "Happy Halloween". This stage glitched out. "Default Text", hmm...

Also, I'm doing a "Bad Halloween Joke of the Day" thing from now until Sunday. Enjoy. Or don't. I don't care.


Today's joke:

What monster is the best dancer?
The Boogie Man!

What is the Community?

The Mini Warriors community seems a bit odd to me right now...

After reading Dan Tracy's comment on yesterday's post:

"Just found this site. Not much of a community so nice to see some in depth blogs about the game. Legion also reminds me of CoC, also I wonder how the arena will be. Weekly ranking tournament style?"

This quote makes me wonder if these blogs (mine, Kenny's and Wagner's) have kinda turned into the "community". I've been getting less views on my blog but more comments, giving me the idea that my blog has turned into a substitute community. Anyone agree/disagree? I still think the forums are more community-like.

Gift System

I REALLY want a gift system to come out with the legion. It seems like a good idea, and I can give free items away to people too! Win-win! :)

Terim VS AOE

Yep. I officially have found a new way to counter Merlin. Terim. He distracts the enemy Merlin into trying to kill his dragon, and the result is that the enemy Merlin has no chance s to murder my troops.
No more sacing GDR for Merlin anymore!

I don't get it...

I don't see how people can complain about hero levels being disproportionate to their PL I've never ran into this problem...

Terim ====> ?

My final decision-Nicolai. I'm removing Nicolai for Terim. I can't see the use in dropping anyone else.

Testing Terim

I've been testing Terim to see who I can drop and keep Terim. So far I'm thinking Edward, but El Cid is still a possibility.

Firstly, I tried putting Edward's gear on Terim and trying removing Edward and using Terim where I use Edward normally.

The result surprised me. He actually dealt quite a lot of damage!

A second test (in case that first one was just a fluke) gave nearly the same results:

I wanted to see how well Terim's dragon could do. Terim's dragon ended up distracted half of the enemy and once it vanished, it just came back to troll again. I'm wondering...

If it could distract enemy troops like that, what about AOE? I can already picture a bunch of three-star archers and a Sarky trying to kill it and failing. What about Merlin? This could be an excellent way to defend against Merlin. No GDR sacrifice necessary if you can just use Terim!

Terim doesn't work well against all melee rows, however.  

Must test further.

Terim

Been trying out Terim lately, and I actually think he is quite good. I used to hate him for some odd reason I cannot explain anymore. The only question-who to swap out? I'm thinking maybe El Cid but at my point it doesn't really matter. STill testing the waters....

Gltiched the System

The game doesn't like me having all the four-stars from the tavern, it's trying to stop me from refreshing!

:)

Evolution of a Player

To continue to encourage newer players to play the game more, I've decided to show a few images that showed what I was like in the past. WARNING-Noobiness!

Also, took me quite a while to dig all these up, please enjoy it!

Hope this teaches all of you that everyone was once a noob!

. . . . . . . . .

Servers are down, so....

Kinda affects my playing. Ah well. 

Set Complete!

Got Terim today with a bronze refresh, meaning I now have every single four-star except for Merlin and Uriah (not available for free), Manto and Mary Read (not available yet), and Cannon (still working to get him.

:)

An Unfortunate Truth

Mini Warriors is based in China, where Blogger and YouTube are both banned. Unfortunately, this means I cannot raise the morale for the Chinese community.

:(

A Message to the Community

Post 500! :)

Check out Kenny Plays Games' post on this same subject on his blog.

I'm working with Kenny Plays Games to solve one of the biggest problems ever posed the Mini Warriors community. This problem is itself.

Yes, you heard me right. The community is steadily going downhill, and sooner or later this game will die from a lack of a decent community. The two of us, being quite attached players to this game, have decided to work to boost the poor community.

First problem-newer players are not feeling welcome and/or are not encouraged to play further. Often, newer players find the game complex and brutal, and fail to understand simple aspects of the game that can make the game easier and more fun, but, since there is so much to do, newer players tend to make major mistakes early on. I'm going to admit it, there was a time when I used two-stars over three-stars.

I highly encourage all of you readers out there to spread word about Mini Warriors, and recruit others to join this game and to play it through. Newer players feel that they have terrible and worthless rallies, and when they see better players discouraging use of some heroes, they feel they have not been lucky and their heroes are not good enough. Lacking a method to start over, many simply quit. So, what we must do is to encourage the newer community. Better players, find newer players and encourage them as much as you can, and give them as much help as possible. 

Second problem-shaving off the top. I expect many will not understand what I mean by that. What I am trying to describe is that the Mini Warriors community is like a pyramid. The bottom and biggest chunk of the pyramid is the newer player section, consisting of people from PL 0 - PL 30. A middle chunk consists of people from PL 30 - PL 80. There is a middle-high chunk from PL 80 - PL 150, and then the tip of the pyramid, PL 150+. There are many very pro people who are quitting because they do not find the game interesting enough anymore. This is discouraging to newer players. If one starts a game, one typically does not want to see professionals quitting left, right, and center. 

The fix for this one is harder. It will be difficult to prevent pros from quitting, although I'm thinking this is because of poor performance on Triniti's part.

Community or Company

Sometimes good games are ruined. Why are the ruined? There are often two reasons.

1-Bad company (a bad company can make bad changes to a game)

2-Bad community (a discouraging community is quite detrimental to a game)

Which one is it? That's up to you to decide.

ಥ_ಥ

I found ten gift codes that I thought would work.

AT3WL9LKL639 37MKM69A49NE MHEWAYLMRA3P NXXXE4FHWMF9 RE3ALTAX996K H6T7PXWY7EPY MLY7MEXATX66 R6EKL67NT9TM T4NM4KTAXH3J JLRRKHEWTT7X

Shortly after I booted up my game and got ready to test, I found out some sad news...

The "gift code" thing has been removed. I think this kills all hope for that.

Alash?

Why did Alash take so much damage from this battle? I get why Carter did, I sac'd him against an enemy William, also Lancelot got himself killed by running into Merlin, but why Alash took so much damage is odd. He was not against AOE or Achilles.

Also,  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°), ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕤ, ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°). ( ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o), ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ -, ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °), ( ͡ ͡° ͡° ʖ ͡° ͡°). (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °), (ʖ ͜° ͜ʖ). Reinhard lived to the end of the battle, and this happened:

Reinhard = good

Cash Overloader of the Day

Just decided to show this guy. This is the person I played against in the Kelly post.

Kelly the Killer

Wow. Kelly can actually kill without getting hurt. She just one-shot my Gilles de Rais (his squad is dead because Merlin proced, see dead Merlin?). So... wow.

Now I'm wondering what Kelly does against Eugene. If Eugene proced and Kelly proced and hit Eugene, does it kill him or does it heal him to full?

Probably kills him, since GDR couldn't reflect the damage.

Difficult Heroes #2-Kelly

Since I talked about hero-killers in my other post, I feel like I should address Kelly, a hero that can one-shot enemy heroes. Her proc rate is extremely low (25% at Level 10). Anyways, Kelly's skill will kill any hero with one hit. Urza does still resurrect if Kelly hits him and Reinhard is the exception. Reinhard can actually not take damage from Kelly's skill if he has Holy Shield triggered.

I believe Kelly is most useful in only one major situation in the endgame. And this case is when used against Uriah. Uriah's skill can be very annoying, since it procs quite often. With Kelly, however, one-shoting Uriah prevents him from wrecking your backline. Kelly could be used to take out annoying heroes but to be honest I can't find too much use in her. Overall she is decent but can be easily swapped for.

By the way, did you know that Eugene's skill doesn't protect him or his companion against Kelly? Kelly will one-shot Eugene even with skill on.

Experiments #1-Hero Killers

First time I've decided to start testing out stuff about the game. Since I have so many four-star heroes, I feel like it would be bad to not use this to my advantage and use them to test aspects of the game out.

I've been testing out a bunch of hero-targetting heroes (Nicolai, Elizabeth, Robinhood, Morgana, and Circe), and here are my results. I decided to test them out in a test rally against a weaker PVP opponent.

I took out some heroes from my rally on purpose, I essentially wanted as little AOE as possible, but not so little that I could not win the battle.

This was the battle I did.
I used 5 + 1 so I could see how the enemy reacted to my mass of hero-targetters.

By the way, I'm going to be re-conducting this test tomorrow with Kelly added in, I couldn't find any PVP battle I felt confident I could win once Kelly was added.
Eugene was used because he protects heroes and I wanted my hero-killers to stay alive as long as possible, since the enemy used 3 MA strategy.

Not sure Nicolai and Elizabeth really did that well, the damage does not look very good.

Also, Robinhood proced 6 times, which is decent. Only Level 5 skill, so....

By the way, "hardest" PVP battle of the day, I barely won!

Then again, I was testing.

Three-Star Substitutes

Some three-stars can work as sufficient substitutes for four-stars that you do not have. Examples:

Reinhard can easily be substitued by 3-star Reinhards.
3-star Carters don't work very well, but are decent.
3-star Archers are the best 3-stars.
Polymorph mages are excellent.
3-star musketeers are decent, but because of the lowered proc rate they are not as good as they once were.

Long Term Heroes

In Mini Warriors, many heroes are best when you are at higher levels. These are not so good at lower levels but can be very excellent at higher levels. The heroes on today's post are mostly heroes that are very good at higher levels and should be kept and trained so that they are not behind when you achieve higher levels.

They include:

Merlin
Sarky
Terim (surprisingly not bad at higher levels)
Uriah
Hyacinth
Reinhard
Seamas (also not bad at higher levels)
Gilles de Rais
Circe
Belthor
Robinhood (not that bad at higher levels)
Alash

Post 500

I have absolutely no ideas for Post 500. Anyone have any ideas? All ideas are welcome. :D

Difficult Heroes #1-Charles Martel

This is a new series, where I suggest how heroes with poor overall quality should be used. First of all, good old Charles Martel.

Charles Martel is probably the worst four-star hero there is. But how can using him be possible? First of all, he should never be used in a defensive situation (A.K.A. when you are offline and the enemy attacks you), because his skill gives you morale, and the computer uses morale terribly.

Charles Martel should be only used offensively, and where your morale skills are very useful. Because of the 1.8 morale cooldown update, he has diminshed in use. However, since he gives you extra morale and extra morale tends to be versatile, you coud spend it on several different things. Mist and heal orb to protect your own troops, explosion to damage the enemy, and militia/ninjas/giants to attack the enemy. Overall, he still remains weak and difficult to use.

Apology

Sorry for the continuously downhill quality of my posts, I've been really busy. I'll try to keep going on.

Vote

There are two things I'm in the middle of doing right now and I want you guys to vote on what I should finish first, the hero guide or the hero comparison page? I don't really care, so I wanted you guys to have to choice on what you would like to see sooner.

Also, on the hero guide, you can say which heroes you want me to finish first.

Rally Page-FIXED!

Okay, apparently a page can only fit 100 comments... I'm deleting all the comments and restarting the page. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

Rally Page

The Rally Page is glitching out. Sorry to everyone whose rallies have not been replied too or even showing up, because the page has glitched out. Still working out this problem right now.

Edward IV Get!

Okay, this leaves just Terim, Cannon, Merlin, Uriah, Manto, Mary Read, and the five new heroes coming soon for me! :D

I'm still leveling him...

New Page-Hero Name Origins!

*-I do know a friend who is a WWII geek, and he has told me Reinhard was a Nazi general.
**-Couldn't think of anything relating to Sarky, but I did find out it actually is a word meaning "sarcastic".
***-In the story/description of Terim, it states his name is Tristram, for some reason. Closest thing I could find was another Knight of the Round Table.

Cavalry Broken-DO NOT USE YET

Templar Cavalry have so far proved to be useless. Although they are immune to stun and polymorph, it seems that enemies will not even try to polymorph them. Polymorph mages will only proc on the nearest squad to them, and it seems that upgrading to them is useless. There is also a rumor that shock cavalry are not working either.

Seems like Triniti's coding style is bad. No wonder there are many problems with this game. I honestly want to take a look at the Tavern Rate code and the PVP Matchup code for this game.

An Ancient Image

What's this? Looks like an ancient Mini Warriors image.

Also, from the same era:

CATAPULTS AND CASTLES?!

Found a image from the oldest days of Mini Warriors. It depicts what are... CATAPULTS! AMAZING!

Also, a castle:

?

Take a look at this image. It seems to be very odd...

Any explanations? Nope.

Especially notice what the heroes are called. "Great Wizard"?

5-Star (wait, no)

Found a hero I thought was a new one.



See the guy with a hammer on a griffin? Then, I realized it was actually...



Whoops! Also, I found a schematic on the blonde female mage on the homescreen.

Hero Comparisons

Many heroes in this game are similar in power. This post is intended to help you distinguish between which heroes should be used.

Healers
Sarah, Philinus, Jerome, Manto, and Hyacinth.

Hyacinth is a powerful healer. He typically heal more than Sarah, and will be able to protect an entire row for a long time. Especially strong with Octavius.

Sarah doesn't heal that much when you compare her to her competitors. Of course, she can be a good healer if you don't have anything else, but her skill has to proc to heal, unlike Hyacinth.

Manto is essentially a more than good replacement for Sarah. He heals more but his drawback is if allies move out of his "healing spring", his heal becomes worthless.

Jerome is okay when used along heroes that don't rely too much on their minions, but because of his low proc rate, he is outstripped by Philinus.

Philinus is an excellent guy to keep heroes alive. His good heal works excellently with Reinhard. Overall, quite a useful hero.

(more coming soon)

Anticipate this Weekend!

Just wanted to throw it out there: This weekend we have Friday off (some teacher development day) so I'll be sure to work on the Hero Guide a bit more. Please hang in there!

Also, Triniti seems to be okay with several heroes having the same first name.

Edward, Edward IV
William, William Tell
Charles Martel, Charles the Great

Thank You, Followers

I have had many moments in the history of my blog where I have wanted to quit doing this. And yet, the blog continues today. Why? I do it for all of the followers surrounding my blog. Without this group of followers, this blog would ave been long gone. Thank you, everyone.

Random Stuff

Well, look at that! Nearing post 500! I have no ideas about what to do for this one. Anyways, I also wanted to just tell everyone that when the Legion comes out, if it is possible to create your own Legion with your own name, I'll create one called the Order of the Elites. Yeah, crappy name.....

The Disappointing Community

Looking through the forums I have found several negative figures in the Mini Warriors community. I'm wondering if this game is on a downhill slope...

If the game really is going downhill, I'm going to try to keep on playing as long as I can, but there is always a point where a game can go too far. If that happens with Mini Warriors, I think I might quit.

Three-Stars and Four-Stars

I have seen tons of people raging because of the tavern rates for four-stars being too "low". Thus, I created this thread to try to eliminate these "rage threads". I have a theory about how the tavern works based a few pieces of information.

1-The fact that when you use a bronze/silver refresh and get a non-two or one-star hero, it will say "A three or four star hero has just showed up!", as IF THEY WERE CONSIDERED TO BE THE SAME.

2-The fact that my biggest failstreak (40 refreshes, no four-stars) was when I COLLECTED THREE-STARS. Upon dismissing most of my three-stars, my luck changed to NEARLY 1 IN 3!

So, my idea is that the chances that a four-star shows up is governed by the following idea:

More four-stars and three-stars = Less chance to get one

It seems reasonable, right? The game should be balanced, so that everyone doesn't get all the four-stars right off the bat.

If any of you tavern-raging people are mad at this rate, I have two things to say. One, try dismissing all your three-stars and see if that helps (I am not responsible if it doesn't). Two, remember that four-stars are SUPPOSED TO BE RARE!!! (those players with all four-stars at low levels tend to spend lots of cash).

If you aren't a tavern-rager, then I say that you should spread the word. There is no way this is going to stay at the top of the posts list, and there is even less chance this will be stickied, so word of mouth is the only way my theory could spread around. 

One more note: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSS OF THREE-STARS IF YOU TRY MY STRATEGY AND IT FAILS. I DIDN'T DISMISS ALL MY THREE-STARS, I KEPT MY ARCHERS AND MUSKETEERS! KEEP THAT IN MIND!

I posted this on the forums too.

New Heroes

Lel, forgot to show this image earlier, it's a picture of the new heroes I got along with Achilles and Saladin.

When I Was A Noob

I decided to do a flashback today, and here is what I found:

I can't believe I was that nooby at one point xD

Look how many problems there are in my rally! Plus, Urza is terrible and I though El Cid was xD!

Le Legion

Huh.

Daily Rewards Changed

Huh.

My Opinion #8-Terim

Some people say he is a must-have now, but no matter what I just cannot find the usefulness in him. Can any of you find it? It still seems to be he's a loser
