[quote who="Pyrkaige" reply="4" id="3097478"]So far, most of the areas mentioned in the poll are getting better with each patch, which is great to see. One area that hasn't gotten a lot of attention: making the cities individually interesting, and overall joined as a culture. Having a lot of cities spammed all across the map, with even more area taken up by outposts, feels like a weak area of the game. As has been discussed elsewhere, individual cities should be give

What happens then, is a single hero (or small group) of heroes is able to smash entire armies single-handedly. Here is a multi-part solution: Track the numbe

Here’s my opinion on several key issues: Randomization vs. Richness Both. For battles in the general open world randomization should be used with the caveat that once a battle occurs on a tile or area that map is permanently assigned to the area for the remainder of the game. Assuming there are unique landmarks or regions in the game, ala Mirkwood, Lonely Mountain, Mount Doom, (and if there aren’t, there should be!) hand designed maps
