[suggestion] Path of the Governor should give a trickle of XP

from Elemental Forums

If other players play the way I do, they almost never choose Path of the Governor. The initial perk (+1 to prestige) is a pretty good one, but if you want to build a champion who can level up, you need a champion that can survive and be useful in the late game. Any other path will offer perks that better reflect that need.

 

So why not give Governors experience (say, 0.5/season) while they are stationed in a city? They shouldn't level up so fast as to be overpowered, but there should be some way that you can expect to grab more city-buffing traits without carrying the unit to be a spectator in battles. It doesn't make sense how watching a drake get mobbed would improve managerial skills.

 

I am aware that there is already-ish a mechanic that could do this-- the free XP granted by the Adventurer's Guild. Whenever I play, I find the guild prohibitively expensive, and I don't think I've ever built it. So perhaps it should be cheaper? But I think the more straightforward way is to give free, but slow XP to governors.

I would rather see a governor get a small amount of a xp for each unit and or building produced in the city he is stationed at. Rather than a slow trickle no matter what.

 

I'd prefer just buildings.. gives you a reason to move him around to smaller cities eventually. But that may be a hard sell for some people.

You can always stack your governors in the city that has the Adventurer's Guild.

I would tend to agree with the original post, since governors are based on basicly doing nothing, they should be rewarded for such ^_^.

(Its abit deeper than that, but my patience atm is rubbish :D... but only abit).

Either that, or I would wish an improved version of Adventurer's guild that is buildable in more than 1 city (why should all me 2-3 governer heroes sit and "govern" the same city O_O).

Certain 'administrative' buldings should give free exp to Governors (not Adventure guilds, or perhaps including adventure guilds)

 

Town Hall comes to mind. Perhaps Tower of Dominion as well. And if we have buildings such as Palace, ThroneRoom, Courthouse, et al ... these could also offer free exp for governors.
