![]() We’ll give you the tiny bit of mixed news first: Tomes of Experience will no longer remove Ascension Material requirements when leveling up Limit Broken Heroes (Food, Iron, and Experience costs will still be fully covered). In this section, we have some great news… and a tiny bit of mixed news. In sum, we believe that the Big Balance Update will not only give us a lot more room for creativity when designing future Heroes, but also provide players more room for strategic skill expression, making PvP battles a lot more fun and interactive. What we’re aiming to change through this update is not individual Heroes’ strength relative to each other, but rather how battles - particularly at the top level of play - FEEL in general. To the contrary, our internal testing tools indicate that in the grand scheme of things, the vast majority of the Heroes affected will simply remain about as powerful as they are now! There may be some shifts in the meta, of course, as players will have more Heroes to choose from (most of the 200+ Heroes affected by this update will become stronger options) - but overall, no Hero should see a drastic change to how competitive they are. We would like to strongly emphasize that these tweaks are NOT a targeted attempt to kneecap any individual Hero or elevate specific kinds of Heroes. We believe that placing a reasonable upper limit on the power of Special Skills in this manner will make the game feel more FUN and FAIR, as less battles will be straight-up decided by the very first volley of Special Skills. As a result, Special Skills do a bit less damage whereas normal attacks (=Troop damage) do a bit more damage. In addition, specific hard-cap values and rules have been set for many different types of Special Skills (e.g., “damage-to-all attacks should not go above N%”). The gist of our new direction is that Heroes’ power will now be allocated a bit more to raw stats, and a bit less to Special Skills. The Big Balance Update - in which we have taken a comprehensive look at our more recent Heroes and made certain sweeping adjustments - is the first step we’re taking in line with our new philosophy. Unfortunately, the latter scenario has been becoming more and more frequent as of late, due to the power of Special Skills and number of synergistic Hero combinations having slowly-but-steadily increased over the years.Īs such, we felt it would be best for the health of the game both in the short and long term to revise our approach to Hero design and balance at this point in time. However, there is a BIG difference between an unlucky start leaving you in an unfavorable position, and an unlucky start leaving you with no room at all to mount a comeback. Of course, there is no way to outright prevent such instances of bad luck, since boards are always randomly generated (and luck always goes both ways - in the long run, it all balances out anyway). In Empires & Puzzles battles, frustration is mostly felt when you get either a useless starting board, or an unintended and unfavorable cascade. In recent months, however, new Heroes have started to close in on the game’s upper ceiling for sensible Special Skill number values we’re not at the breaking point yet, but we’re edging ever closer to it. Many Classic Heroes, despite being six years old, still are competitive options at nearly all levels of play we believe this alone speaks volumes. ![]() This Special Skill-first approach had benefits thanks to it, we were able to craft and release hundreds of interesting, powerful new Heroes over the years without ever excessively devaluing the existing cast. Raw stats weren’t too actively utilized for balance purposes - yes, newer Heroes were awarded slightly better stats, but we kept that incline extremely mild. So, a bit of history: for a long while in designing and balancing new Heroes, we’ve mainly placed our attention on crafting interesting Special Skills and fine-tuning their numbers. If deemed necessary, we will do the same in Round 3 - and so on. In Round 2, we will most likely make many changes to the current list of adjustments. ![]() As of now, we have only just kicked off Version 58 Beta Round 1. We are NOT going to rush this out, and the details WILL go through multiple iterations. NOTE: This is a very big update and will go through several beta rounds. We’re planning to conduct the largest balance update in the history of Empires & Puzzles, and more than 200 Heroes will be affected. Here’s some contextual light on the two VERY significant updates being tested in this beta round: For better visibility, we are sharing these notes with the general community as well (with minor edits for clarity/relevance). Note: Most of what’s below was shared with our beta testers yesterday when Version 58 Beta Round 1 started. ![]() ![]() ![]() Novels Don't Have Author's Notes by Kryallaorchid on Tumblr.So You Want to Interact With a Fanfiction Author by Fiadorable on Tumblr.Comments and Criticism - Topics to Thaw Brainfreeze by Tabetharasa on Tumblr.Treat sensitive topics (rape, incest, etc.) as just that.Įxcellent Resources How to Leave Constructive Reviews Anything goes, but please be aware of the humans on the other side of the screen.

One can begin on A and high C, B-A-G, or even E-D-C. There are many different methods of beginning a student’s journey on the recorder. I went back to the drawing board and, after four years of tweaking, I developed the following strategy to help my students have the best beginning Where to Begin? Due to budget cuts, my schedule changed to a six-day rotation, and I found my students and myself struggling with the recorder. While the first few classes were not the best-sounding classes, soon my students were able to play independently and well. When I began teaching recorder, I saw my students every other day. I found that the recorder was a tool of great pedagogical power, a tool that could teach my students how to improvise, read, and compose a melody. Then, I began my Orff Schulwerk journey and found the recorder, and the rest is history. I grew up as a clarinetist, but developed jaw problems and had to quit woodwinds forever – or so I thought. The very first time I picked up a recorder, I fell deeply in love with this sweet instrument.

By the time he died, he’d spent “more days in United States congresses than any man in America,” the late Connecticut State Historian Christopher Collier wrote the New York Times in 1987. His many other jobs included mayor of New Haven, treasurer of Yale College and Superior Court judge.ĭoes it surprise anyone that Sherman served in both the U.S. With his adroit political skills, he rose from New Milford selectman to the state’s General Assembly and eventually to the Continental Congress, the 13 Colonies’ makeshift government, where he served on more committees than anyone else. The son of a farmer, Sherman never got beyond grammar school but earned an honorary degree from Yale. Thomas Jefferson wrote that he “never said a foolish thing in his life.” Roger Sherman is often described as “dour,” but he had almost magical influence. But the lesser-known Sherman is the only person who signed all four of the nation’s founding documents: the Declaration, the Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, and the Articles of Association, which cut off trade with Britain in 1774. Jefferson, Adams and Franklin are household names. ![]() Roger Sherman, born 300 years ago, deserves far more credit than he gets. Let us now praise the overlooked Connecticut man who helped draft the Declaration of Independence. It’s what I was thinking about during fireworks last night. Its editorial board wrote the following piece. Hearst Connecticut Media owns nearly all the newspapers up the Connecticut shoreline. (In fairness to Franklin, he owned two, not hundreds, and freed them, because, he said, slavery was incompatible with the political principles of the American revolution.) Of the five men who drafted the Declaration of Independence, three of them-Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston and Ben Franklin-owned human beings as legal property. I’d like to how that came to be, especially given that Roger Sherman and John Adams, a future president and patriarch of a political dynasty, did not own slaves. He was, in fact, the oldest representative to the Continental Congress, second only to Ben Franklin. “The Committee of Five”: from left, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.Īs I was watching fireworks last night, my mind drifted off to thoughts of Roger Sherman, the first mayor of New Haven and the only one of the founders to sign all four of our founding documents. ![]() ![]() ![]() Autodesk reserves the right to alter product and services offerings, and specifications and pricing at any time without notice, and is not responsible for typographical or graphical errors that may appear in this document.

However, one thing that's unclear is whether the Resident Evil 4 remake will tie into other media coming out of the franchise. If the recent Oculus Quest 2 VR release of the game is anything to go off, expect to see slightly less flirtatious dialogue between Leon and his handler Hunnigan, which were removed from that version to reduce the lewdness. Expect classic faces like Ada Wong and Jack Krauser to return.
