This sounds promising. Is this planned to be compatible with Children of Storm and/or Heroic Pursuits?

I have seen this too.

I would be ok with this if it was for learning and tactical practice, but the end result of the original battle not be changed.

What's in a name, will a peasant by any other name still whiff as badly, or fail to hit the broad side of a barn so sweet? Skills and abilities are the lynchpin of variety - the things that make a unit mechanically different. I mentioned above a ranged unit with a bow, or a mage unit getting a wand, but a swordsman is fundamentally i
