Lord forgive me for posting this statement for the who the %#@&  knows time ....gasp!!!

I LOVE this game and really love the the HEROS. I HATE the FACT that I can not use them out side of looting them and stripping them of thier powers.

thay take up too MUCH exp. the time I can level 3 level 10's ..I could make 1 level 20 that would make short work of 3 10's in combat. I wish thay change the exp split to all HEROS get full exp. Then I could use them in regular game instead of modden maps to make a game to play them on.

I thought it was a bad idea how it was done in FE, in LH it's so much worse.

XP split needs to go away.

It is easily modded back. Just need to add the line to every champion

<DividesBattleExp>0</DividesBattleExp>

This is at least the way it was done in FE.

Quick markets and low taxes once you hit some milestone early technology and you can jump from -x to (usually) ~+6 gildar per turn.

Beasts tamed via beastlord does not cost wages.

Commander heroes with the starting gildar trait.

Wealthy trait.

There are many ways around negative gildar early game.

Really they should use a different formula for how the heroes divide the exp. To allow a 2 hero base, but instead of dividing the exp in half, say by 3 / 4 instead.

3 heroes have 1 / 2, I went over a variety of options that would give higher exp, but still divides the exp. Another such option would be to try out

(number of heroes + 1) / (2^(number of heroes). Although this will get much smaller for stacks of 5 or more heroes.

There are simply plenty of formula used to calculate a division of exp that a simple division may not be the appropriate.

I think the solution is to increase the amount of fame required to get the second champion.  Also the random quest where you can get Bako (or however, it is spelled) happens too often and gives you another champion way too early.  I think this quest should only be triggered after your ruler makes a certain relatively high level.  There are just way too many of them early and I usually just skip the Bako one. 

I suggest something like the below - (the exact amount of fame could change or maybe make it a setting for how fast they show up)

5 fame - Champion Level 1

75 Fame - Champion Level 5

200 Fame - Champion (2 levels below your ruler)

500 Fame - Champion (same level as sovereign)

Every 500 additional fame (Champion 2 levels below your ruler)

I do think slowing the rate at which we get heroes is the first step.  I used to not think so, given I have been playing on dense monsters, but after a few more games, I defintiely find they come too quickly. 

I like the idea of needing more fame per hero, good idea.  Also, you could put a cap on number of heroes, and have some tree research or other mechanism to raise the cap.  That way, if you WANT lots of heroes, you can do it, it is your actual aim. 

Also, for the record, I do not like full champ split, and would prefer a base of two heroes unpenalized (or light penalty), then penalize hard after that. 

Creating two heroes with different roles is one of my favorite things to do, but they just can't work together.  That suxors.

What about healing and gain HP abilities and spells?

If there are more reliable ways to get xp while in town, the xp split can stay as is. 

Or, give non-altar factions a less effective version of quest map (cheaper, spawns weak and medium quests). That way, you don't rely on monster availability to level heroes. 

(Since enemy armies give so little xp, and enemy archers pick off weak champions, war is not a reliable way to level)

I also suggest being able to add "chapters" of the adventurer's guild to any city. That way your heroes can have a chance at leveling up anywhere they are needed. 25% chance of 1xp/season is not going to make level 20 characters anytime soon. 

Leveling up heroes should be less dependant on monsters, globally. Let it be potentially a function of your empire's production capacity, so you can do some leveling at home. 

By definition, your favorite champion is the one you chose yourself (sovereign), and I'd bet most players want to level them up. Randomly assigned champions are great, but they just aren't the #1 leveling priority for most.

The xp split can't go away. Give us xp in some form at home, or champions will remain like happy meal toys: super fun when you get them, a useless piece of plastic three months later.  

Not a bad idea. 

Removing the XP-split again would be the most terrible thing they could do to this game. It would reduce a level of strategy regarding heroes and also open up for unfun exploits again, pluss making units once again useless.

When it comes to money and upkeep. I think some people here have just become to used to a playstyle where they dont need to worry about money, going none or low taxes forever and waiting forever to build out the economy..... Finally we have got more depth into this and I'm very satisfied with how this game now gives me alot more hard and meaningfull decissions to make.

Like what? Non-brainer Place Your second hero in the start army together With Soveriegn, instead of this having a trade-off? Non brainer placing every New hero together With sovereing in Your best army going vs tough Creatures for massive experience and fast Level ups? Just naming a few "fantastic" New strategies for you.

2. There is no such thing as  "unfun exploits" in a SINGLE player game. if you like it you do it . If you don't , you won't.

Well. I use more then one hero in my army from time to time. It depends on the tasks Ahead, and if I want to help leveling up a weak hero, or if it's early game and I just need that extra unit. If XP-split was taken away, the strategy of choosing when and not fight together With Your heroes would lack the substance of trade-offs, and that would be UNFUN! There is no can choose not to be affected of it in a singleplayer game. That's nothing less then pure nonsense, sir. 

3. To some like myself , units will aiways be useless.

Units are not useless in Legendary Heroes. Perhaps you dislike units in general, but they are in the game and they want to design a game where they aren't useless. Removing XP-split would have many effects, one of them is making units alot less important. 

4. That's the thing about variety , there is more then ONE way.

5. I disagree... It is less deeper with less choise.

(4/5): It's by design that you have to depend on units, especially early game. At least you need units to help Level up Your heroes. If Your startegy is to build a strong heroes only army, you will have to work harder for it now With long term planning; that's strategy.

6. I agree... You are very satisfied.

This reminds me of the MAYOR of NEW YORK CITY..... He wanted to BAN LARGE size soda cups for the good of eveyone's health. And taking AWAY your freedom of CHOISE to partisapate in a LEGAL activity.

Freedom is not the same as claiming the right being God allmighty. That you can do whatever you like without consequence (like for instance stacking heroes With no XP penalty) or trade offs is bad game design. Talking about freedom of choice in this regard is far off. [/quote]
