[Suggestion] Armory/Universal Storage Locker

from Elemental Forums

This game really needs a straightforward way to transfer objects between champions at a distance.  I propose that champs stationed in the city will have access to a armory where they can leave objects or pick up objects your other champs have left.  It doesn't matter which city you're in as all cities access the same armory (magic!).

This has probably been suggested before, but the search on these forums is useless.

I do not need my items to be teleported, if so at a cost, another more enjoyable solution to me would be if non-hero units would have a small inventory, would help my little storytelling when I play my games too! :D

Major City Ruler: "We have crafted our new wonder, a fortune for the eye and a beast on the battlefield, A devious axe filled with the most Arcane of magical rituals and powered by the deepest layers of fire magic."

Guard: "What do you suggest we do with this powerful item?"

Major City Ruler: "We shall have a warband of riders go into the far east, where Sir Roderick is currently helping the local populace with a demon threat, and they shall grant him this sword and the great demons should tremble before our new might."

Guard: "Awesome!"

Well and also, its not going to be free teleportation, I have a slight problem with free teleportation of items since it can become a bit silly at times, where scouts have low cost anyways, and if they are mounted would provide excellent movement of items.

I don't really like teleporting items either... most games have some sort of spell mechanic for it, but I honestly think that having to decide between taking your troops out of the front to meet up and trade items create more interesting strategic situations than just poofing it there with mana. Although, admittedly, I usually have some throwaway champion running back and forth doing it.

Well, yea ... Teleportation would be silly ... and more suited to a Science Fiction game.  :)   Actually I would be supportive of the OP's suggestion that something like an "Armory Storage Locker" be (automatically) available in (at least) your Capital City (but without the ability to teleport objects to other cities).

But ... :

Exactly !!   Inevitiably, I have a Champion, who is damaged by one or more disabilities (combat wounds) and I end up buying him a horse (or warg) and turning him into a Courier.  In fact, I usually end up changing his name to  "Max Courier"!  I then quarter him in a central location (usually my Capital City), and have him do the footwork of re-distributing the goodies.   :thumbsup:   

I guess the reason why more players (maybe) don't do this, is because none of their champions ever get damaged, by losing a combat.  :rofl:      Well ... Good for them ! ... but one benefit to me, of being a less than stellar player, is that I  ALWAYS end up with "some throwaway champion running back and forth doing it"...

Speaking for myself, the reason I don't do that is because it's boring.
