It would be amazing if we could create weapons and armor for our heros just like in master of magic. This would be based on our current research of course. The ability to imbue it with magic properties later on with proper research and skill/essence would be good too.
Thoughts?
It is a good idea, hopefully the devs will read about this or we can remind them of all the neat Master of Magic features that were brilliant. At the least, someone can make a mod to add it to the game.
I would be surprised if it isn't on their list things they'd like to add already.
