      Yeah, it was good fun. It was meant to be an attempt at 2 theris versus the dragon, but we bailed at the last minute and for some reason, we took them instead. Worth getting them ready for forest titan, assuming it will still have a low drag weight when Extinction is released (my favourite of the maps).

    I’m surprised.
    I disabled “Enable Singleplayer Settings”, but I must have made a mess with my settings because it was way harder for me. My Theriz had about the same Health and more damage, everyone had 124 Armor, but I lost several of them each try I made, despite having cakes for the whole fight.
    I shouldn’t have messed with damage settings without knowing exactly how damage is calculated. I thought I was making bosses easier, but apparently I made them harder.

    • @ZedsArk
      @ZedsArk  6 месяцев назад +1

      What damage settings did you adjust?

    • @deadencicle
      @deadencicle 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@ZedsArkIt will be a long answer because I changed many damage related settings. I used Beacon Omni to manage the ini settings.
      5x to the damage of Wild Creatures (DinoDamageMultiplier). In-game, the setting is called Creature Damage, and according to my testings it only affects wild ones.
      0.4x Wild Melee Damage per level (this affects not only wild creatures, but also my tames, because they start with a much lower Melee Damage, and I think they gain less Melee Damage per level even after being tamed, as a consequence).
      0.4x damage to the damage dealt by all bosses, and 0.6x to the damage dealt by all their minions. I guess this doesn’t affect the breathe of the Dragon boss, but the other settings shouldn’t either, because I read the breathe does damage based on a percentage of the total Health.
      2.25x to the creature resistance multiplier (DinoResistanceMultiplier). According to Beacon, values higher than 1 increase the damage creatures take, and according to my testings only wild creatures are affected. This was meant to compensate for the 0.4x Wild per Level setting.
      1.25x Imprinting Bonus.
      0.2x Tamed Melee Damage per level. With official settings it would be 0.17x.
      I didn’t alter the Health settings.
      This results in my tames doing more than 40% higher damage than on Official, wild creatures (except bosses and their minions) doing a lot more damage. I was expecting bosses to be doing about 80% of their default damage. However, for some reason the Alpha Dragon was doing much more damage than it was doing against your Theriz (based on how fast mines got killed).
      I made the above changes with two objectives. Reducing the difficulty gap between creature in the overworld/caves and bosses. Making the Rhyniognatha do more damage with its Resin projectiles, simply because I liked them a lot but there wasn’t a way to affect their damage except for messing with the resistance of the wild creatures.
      I know I’m a little weird for messing with all those settings.

    • @deadencicle
      @deadencicle 6 месяцев назад +1

      I forgot to mention I also reduced my character’s damage to compensate for the increased damage taken by creatures. I set it to 0.58x, which results in 1.3x compared to default. I also capped weapon damage to 500%.

    • @ZedsArk
      @ZedsArk  6 месяцев назад +1

      That's making my head spin! Do you have damage numbers turned on? Would be interested to know how that compares to my vid.
      I suppose that there are also other variables in dragon fight. For example, sometimes dragon spends a lot more time in there and sometimes not. This impacts how many times you get hit with flame breath and how long your theris have to recover health.
      So, veggie cakes cannot outheal flamebreath if used constantly by a dragon that doesn't take off, as she uses the attack every 20ish seconds (I think!) when in combat, verses the 10% healing every 30 seconds from the cake.

      That said, if I'm wrong, I still the tactic is viable. The main threat in this breath attack which is a flat 20%. The theris had enough cakes left, enough health and enough time that the boss could have been tougher and they'd still have come out on top.

    • @jayg2580

    Why do you level hp on them? Only breath does a lot of dmg and that is % based. Also on my serv (small tribes offi) we just use two theris. One theri grabs the aggro and sits under it where the dragon cant hit it and the other comes behind it. It takes us 8 minutes as duo with 2k melee theris and we use about 2 cakes each for one boss fight. So basically, we duo it every time. We even duoed it in 15 minutes when it was invisible, but then we used about 12 cakes each (always bring 20 each for safety).

      That amount of health and melee takes some serious breeding. Mine are 20k and 1000% melee with only a couple of mutations, but with base stats of 50ish in - which I think makes them pretty decent unmutated.
      I used to do it with rexes in ASE, but to be honest, the two attempts I've recorded (theris and stegos) are so much easier.
