any way to get rid of perma-berserk on story map 3?

[rumpelstiltskin]

it's super-annoying; i simply don't want to play that bs rng fest (who tf thought it was a fun idea??). maybe there's a quest, or an item, or even a mod to remove it. or i would just be ok with unlocking map 4 without playing 3.

Angelize should work since it makes your units immune to mind control effects.

thanks but i meant something more readily available. honestly i'm willing to just skip that map.

I think there is something in tome of vigor that makes your animal units immune to mind control. You would have to try it out though, no idea if it works. Except for that i do not think anything else can make you immune to the berserk thing.

Have done the map two times and i get your frustrations, it is an annyoing mechanic.

I did it on easy and I never noticed the effect. Maybe I just got lucky.

The berserk thing in map 3 is really not fun.

I usually don't like game systems that take away control but the odd mind control from an enemy is OK. But this is usually about half my entire army, every 2 turns!!!!

Maybe increasing resistances may help? I try to put as many of my army near support characters, so when they go defence mode, it gives them more resistance.

Mana addict. At least your units heal when hitting other units.

i'm just not going to play that shît. i'll try to find a way to unlock map 4 by editing files. if it doesn't work, i might drop the game altogether.

[rumpelstiltskin]

..ok i just used a cheatcode to instawin the map. it did unlock map 4, but the fact that the designers thought it was a good idea makes me seriously question their professionalism. the game will get a thumbs-down review from me for that alone.

as a facetious answer: just kill everyone else and end the battle, that gets rid of it :P

being more serious..

it says "base 30% chance" so yeah, status resistance probably lowers that. Note that the stat is separate from the resistance that support units grant from going in defense mode.

As for mitigating it... well, units driven Berserk will prioritize enemy units at least. Have units that can travel a long distance or other range increases, that will minimize the chance of fighting your own guys. I just kind of went all-in on that map's schtick and went full evil barbarian culture with chaos tomes. lure of the horde is pretty nuts, replaces the units you lose to berserk taking them out of position and then some.

Early game you can't. So you have to engage your enemy ASAP in battle to avoid friendly fire.

And there are people who claimed reviews are manipulated... figures...

That gimmick is so easy to work with, just dont keep your army passive and get in range in time. If your units can, they will attack an opponent.

So keep your army balanced and in range of the ai when turn 3 starts.

I'm impressed by this kind of attitude tbh, any slight difficulty and puts a bad review on a game, not even trying to play around it, he is bad at the game so the developper are idiot and the game is sh*t.

[hilfazer]

I advise to try to always be the attacking side. Domain of Mayhem is much worse for the defender.

[Arasine]

Yes, its far too frequent in that map to be fun. One battle here and there would be ok, but an entire multi-hour long play-through map: No.
