What you could do is have a world resource, right, and it actually upgrades as the closest city upgrades. So maybe you start with a level 1 city and you get to recruit trainees. Then at level 5 you're recruiting the elites. That's doable, I think. A bonus is that you only get one type of unit buildable at a time, which means the AI has an easier time knowing what to do. Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if a world resource improvement can read the city level like that, you'll have to test

I see in CoreWorldResources.xml the new tag .5 . Am I correct in assuming this spawns 0.5 resource hoards for every player? Is that a 50% chance for each player, or does 2 players guarantee 1 spawn? Does it calculate how many were placed randomly, before placing additional resources using that tag? Or are those additional spawns, not taking into account how many were placed randomly?

I've been playing continuous games, and I have to agree with Frogboy. Last year I was more or less able to steamroll Ai on ridiculous, but it has been much improved. It's not perfect, by any means. Why aren't they equipping shields? Why aren't they using mounts? Why are they attacking a city with 400 combat rating worth of units in, with an army that has 80 combat rating?

So... now that we've got 2 unique units per faction in the game, what are your opinions on them? I'm not talking just balance, but also - do they make the game more fun as a whole? I'll list again what I wanted to achieve by adding them. 1) Unique units should represent the flavor of the faction 2) Unique units should supplement, not replace, standard units 3) Unique units should remain useful for the entirety of the game, but not remain strong (this was for type 1 u

[quote quoting="post"] To Brad...and his famous dev. tem where is add-on for Elemental...one that we were promised 3 months ago. Obviously you can not keep promise...elemental is big failure in every way. Try something else...but dont make games anymore...no point in that. In another, normal company, would get fired long ago...for the damage done to the company. Enjoy while you can. <br

They could have just added a cooldown of 20 turns or so, or make it one cast per battle. I don't see how that would have any more significant balance implications than removing it completely does.

I agree with TheProgress. Add a long cooldown, or a much higher mana cost to Blink instead. The reason for removing blink is you can chain it infinitely, jumping from one side of the map to the other and casting spells, while enemy units run after you.

I don't think that's fair, Stuie_. I run the ExpandedFactions mod, and I've never told anyone that a lack in the main game should be compensated by their own mod. At least, not outside the mod forum. I, too, would have prefered a real fantasy setting instead of what's in the game right now. What we got was nowhere near enough to replace the rich background and variety a normal fantasy game provides.
