Florence Nightingale

Post by noissance »

Hey guys, i have used this card as britain in age 3 sometimes, and it seems to make my ranged troops immortal (especially longbows), as they get healed while they shoot (or at least it looks like that). Has any one done research on this card, priests, missionaries, and surgeons?

Passive heals from cleric-type units, surgeons and field hospitals (lol) work out of combat?

Active heals such as the chinese wonder, aztec firepit and french explorer get cancelled in combat.

Just ran a quick test in scenario:
Passive heal from manors does not work in combat; healing immediately stops once you begin shooting (however if you simply move units without attacking, healing process continues for a couple seconds).

Also to compare rates, I did a quick look through data files protoy, fieldhospital.tactics, & house.tactics
field hospital= 3
manor = 5
surgeon/priest/missionary = 10

Other notes you may be interested:
When testing in gameplay, it looks like field hospital and manor use same rate, but data files say otherwise.
manors & field hospitals only heal 1 unit at a time, they do not have an overlapping aura effect either.

It's on my AOE bucketlist to win a game using florence xD

That's easy, just win a game, don't push so the opponent doesn't resign, age up, and send nightingale

I think in games where resources run out it might be cool to just make 1-2 priests just for the sustain. They probably pay off pretty quickly if you make them at the right time.

In the past I have seen grunt use them to heal mercs and cannons too (which I totally stole )

Yes, they are, I played victor_swe a while ago and he trolled me with a Jap priests build using the Dutch consulate. I was already behind, he made 10 priests and I just couldn't kill them with skirms and goons xD

I think we should just buff the healer rate of priests so that a units just heal damn fast. Individually, but damn fast. They need to be out of combat, unlike in Starcraft for instance.

This could really add a lot to the game.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

I think in most case building a church and training a couple priests will cheaper and you will get additional benefits (tanking, xp trickle, upgrades...).

it's like meeting a cherished celebrity — you're left with a memory that will stay with you for the rest of your life, while for the other party it's just another hand out of the remaining 100 to be shaken that day
