Ending combat costs extra buff turns on higher difficulties

[mandomaniac]

Ok, this is a weird one. First let's get some preliminary details. I am running HoS Elite v4.2.7 (from amazon) on an LG G4 with android version 6.0. My group is a boost in, lvl 17, party with Vraes, Vincent, Kyera, and Selen.

Now down to buisiness, what is happening, is that ending combat is costing exactly 3 turns on my party's buffs. Ending a regular turn in combat works normally, however, ending turn that ends combat reduces buff counts by 3 instead of 1.

Before ending combat:





And now after:

I believe that is intended behavior.
If I remember correctly Cory Trese addressed this fairly early on and said that as difficulty level increased the number of buff turns burned at end of combat would increase.

I wonder if that should be listed in the difficulty list at creation of new game?

really? I didn't know that, my other group that I normally play is easy and this is normal difficulty

That is correct. There is a cool-down number of turns applied after the end of combat, and the number is based on the game's difficulty.

I have added it to our todo list to add this into game difficulty screen.

IIRC it is
1 turn on easy
2 on normal
3 on hard
5 on brutal
8 on NM

Very close, +1!

0 turn on easy
2 on normal
4 on hard
6 on brutal
8 on NM

This is one of the reasons we needed to add Auto-Buff

EDIT: I moved this to "Tips"

I was thinking hard 3, but okay >.< I can live with 4.
