The panther hero Ascian has only two movement points- as opposed to the standard 4. Not being able to be horse equipped greatly limits the mobility.
As an aside, I random recieved a defeated message with all my cities fully defended and not under siege- and no one has started any victory conditions.
Ditto, Ascian seems very slow for a panther type character. Also I was able to equip her (him?) with a belt of speed, the idea of a panther-creature wearing a belt seemed silly....
Agree, the panther is too slow. Just consider the 'belt' to be a collar? Big panther....nice panther....
Did you hit the turn limit on your game when you got the defeated message?
Also, yeah, the Ascian may be balanced with two moves, but it's speed "feels" incorrect.
Humm yes does not sound righ for me to have a panther type moving at 2. Solution may be to allow it to be equiped with any mount but do not (obviously) modify the picture. This way it stays balanced.
Other suggestion... it's a panther, give it the extra movement. By the time in the game you get the quest, everyone else likely has a mount. it's still balanced.
Also, the Troll hero is only 2 movement whereas regular trolls move 3, and the Ogre hero is only 2 movement while I think regular Ogres move 3. I think all heroes should have at least the amount of movement that their monster counterparts do, and the rest of their stats balanced around that (if necessary).
I agree. As I stated in another thread about the Ascian, I would like to see it have normal panther speed of 4 (or is it 5) and to balance lose the lightning teleport attack. If lightning is part if the Ascian's character, then add back in a range 1 lightning attack.
