[quote who="moi-meme" reply="173" id="3354711"] The problem is not there. The problem is that heroes don't have the feel of heroes nowadays. They are more like interesting but not capital addition to an existing trained army.[/quote] That's the best definition of the issue I've seen in all those days. Simple and short yet it manages to capture all the essence of the problem. [e digicons]k1[/e]

[quote quoting="post"] For example, If a unit has "Mercenary" (-10 gold when quene, -2 gold per turn, -50 production), I don't want the unit to be able to have "Fast" or "Ironskin". I will be thankful for any input for this particular issue. [/quote] I am curious. Would you be so kind to explain how you achieve that structure of costs? That sounds very smart and impressive!

That's what I've done as I am against some units splitting XP and some units not splitting XP. I thougt about making all troops split XP but that would require a balancing work so I went the easy way. Could you post how you did it, in this thread or another? It would be interesting to experiment and

What about Summon Power? An Earth Shrill consumes 1 Summon Power as upkeep, and a Sand Golem consumes 2 Summon Power as upkeep. That would be in line with the current air/water/earth/fire/life/death power that already exists and you could even have Summon Shards, making your total Summon Power the sum provided by your champions and your shards. By the way, it's a great concept the one you are working on. Instead of just reshuffling what the game already has, you are creating a com

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="145" id="3354343"] Quoting jwallstone, reply 144This way, the game can prevent the player from potentially acquiring a "stack of doom" until well into the late game. This is already in effect. Why change core game mechanics at this point? Removing this strategic element (XP split) from the game would make stacking heroes and not training units a no-brainer and you will soon find a thread where people are complaining about the sill

In my opinon it's great from the story-telling point of view that our sovereign starts so weak. What is not so great is that he/she stays mostly weak even at the end of the game. It would be great to take your sovereign from a normal being with a lot of potential at the start of the game to a demigod by the end of the same game.

[quote who="halmal242" reply="139" id="3354278"] I almost wonder whether or not it would make more sense to implement the XP split for troops as well, ducks for cover. This would mean you then can't game the system no matter if you are running heroes or henchmen.[/quote] That makes a lot of sense. Either everybody splits or everybody doesn't.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="112" id="3353374"] Most of what OliverFA is wanting to try out may not be done directly, but there are systems in place that will produce basically the same effect.[/quote] With all due respect, there is a difference between "can be done" and "can be EASILY done".

And having a bunch of OP heroes running around with no concern for trained troops would be fun? I personally think not. We have been through all of this in the FE beta.

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="106" id="3353336"] I feel like many of you are frustrated because you don't want to believe that this is a strategy game at its core, which requires making tough decisions based on the circumstances you're dealt at the beginning of the match and as the game progresses, and therefore you're not willing to play the game as its meant to be played. That's fine, but I'm afraid you're going to have to either make mods or wait until som

Provided that you have found a way to count the number of active summons a wizard has, what about using this knowledge to raise upkeep costs? Let's say that each summon costs 1 mana no matter it's power, if you make each upkeep 50% more expensive, it would be like: 1 active summon 1 mana 2 active summons 1+1.5 mana 3 active summons 1+1.5+2 mana and so on You would have to fund the sweet spot, which could be 50%, 10% or 200%.

I am not an expert in modding this game, but I have spent a decent amount of time modding it and, if my opinion is worth something, I would not call it "easily modable". Yes, it's not impossible to mod, but not easy either. Now that I am used I can do many things pretty easily, but I remember how difficult it was to understand some concepts, like resources being distributed in three different files. Also, there are many things that just can't be modded no matter how hard
