Very important from polish and immersion perspectives!  Please fix!

Well, I did go all the way to all the remaining bug reports from 0.983 (page 5 of Recent Posts), so it was only bugs that haven't been fixed from previous versions that were excluded.  But yes, you do make a very good point.  I'll wait for the next version, play it a while, then post any bug or suggestion report that hasn't already been posted, and if it has been posted, post my new stuff or support for it in the existing thread, without resorting to new threads or bumps.

Sorry about that!  I guess I got very carried away.

I TOTALLY agree with Heavenfall, and this is a very good illustration of a point I am trying to make as well - there are 2 ways to bump this specific thread, one of which is not useful at all, while the other is extremely useful:

OPTION 1: Post a "yes devs please do this !!!" plea offering no more information - NOT USEFUL

OPTION 2: Invest the time to go through the champions and identify those traits that are unbalanced, and make a second post where you propose specific changes to specific champions that the devs can implement - USEFUL

StevenAus, my general point is that instead of wasting your own time with countless "meaningless bumps" as I call them, you may want to spend that time making certain that your bug reports are well-documented, with specific information and with screenshots or savegames where appropriate.

I don't want to sound like I'm lecturing you but I hope this helps to channel your energy and eagerness a bit more constructively

Please tell me that he starts with a sword to go with his bio.

I think the difficulty the devs face is with ever-expanding content added while balancing is taking place, it's hard to maintain the two. I suggest making a list for them to save them the time of having to do all of this themselves. It's much more likely to get done if the community can do the legwork and just tell them what/how to change things. Derek sure seems to love suggestions like these.

Lizbeth the Light.  Leadanna.  First off why do these champions have weaknesses when others do not?  That just makes them even suckier.  Second they are heavy on the governor line, and come with no weapons.  Where as other champions from other kingdoms can come with a decent axe or dagger and NO injuries.  A guy like Endis Steelhand has own special spell.  Maybe its bad luck but those two weak wonders of the world come up more than not when I play a kingdom.

Sorry if this sounds like a hate fest, but I vented. 

I disagree that traits have to come as if a champion was leveled up starting from level 1.  In fact, I don't want it that way.  I want these heroes to be unique.  I want them to have combinations that you can't get any other way (i.e. Path of the Mage + Lore II, Path of the Mage + Path of the Warrior.).  Their starting values should all be different.  Some dude may not have as many traits as his level would dictate, but he comes with a unique spell and a companion.  Some dude may have more traits than his level would dictate, but has weaknesses.  Please don't make the heroes conform to some norm (i.e. x traits per level and no weaknesses = boring).

i agree absolutely

Totally agreed with this.   However, I also agree that a lot of the champions need work. Path of the Governers...in full armour to start?... with warrior traits? - several of them are just odd.

First thing I'll do on release  to the XML is make sure all the Champions are either unique or "blank slates" so every faction can get something cool or something they can mould to their liking.  

Az'aroth switched form Path of the Mage to Path of the Warrior (don't know what was going on there)

Lisbeth given a Monks staff instead of a normal staff

Leadanna loses the Scarred trait and picks up Merchant II instead

For my own 2 cents I appreciate everyone's input.  You guys have no idea how valuable it is to me and how much of an improvement I see in the game because of it, so I will never be critical of anyone offering any feedback they take the time to offer.  It is a gift.  But specifics certainly are more actionable than more general feedback.

I generally agree.

I totally got it.  It was a inside joke about boobs, right?

Aye, and this shall be the thread in which we fix it.

I mean, for this type of issue.

Probably should have a mace, too, if she doesn't have one.
