[quote]So how would you put that into game mechanics? Would non-champion spouses be a special type of regular unit? Would they even have a map unit aspect at all?[/quote]I would simply make "bad" ones really, really weak champions. The "first lady effect" I mentioned would be something like sending your spouse to a foreign city would give you a big diplomacy bonus.... or some other effect/condition depending on their abilities. I'm not really suggesting insta-hero so much as something that ju

Banned for something undefined.

Peasant: morale and farming bonus. Vegabond: better relations with heroes.

I would tend to disagree with the idea of spouses only being useful if they are heroes, with little ability for things to work the other way around: seems to me that even a complete loser would gain some amount of epicness from being married to the most powerful mortals left alive. (And no, I am not talking about magic leakage here, more of a "first lady effect" where the position carries a massive amount of respect and its own portable bully pulpit).

Magic can split continents overnight...... the impression I got was that all the suddent the Titans showed up, fought the Men for a few months at most, then sealed up the magic and dissapeared. The dragon fountains and things seemed to be from the "golden age" before all that unpleasantness.

Banned for asking people to get things.

Banned for leaving us with vampirism.

One thing I find interesting is that this sorty portrays the cataclysm as more of a slow slide into decay and death, as opposed to "life as usual... ho um..... wha? Cataclysm!!! ........................................................................................................................... shit!" Here we seem to have the world being torn apart for

Banned for hehe.

I am extremely opposed to the idea of connecting time to anything other than the turn system itself... time banks and gold costs just seem very WIERD to me..... and would probably be either useless or way overpowered, depending on how much they're worth. I rather like the idea of just running a timer for moves like they do in chess, but I would prefer assorted turn-length settings with time determined at the lobby, complete with an untimed area for slow patient people. That way, the

Crossbows are great. In fact, I would be very, very miffed if they were NOT in the game. And don't take it personally... people have different tastes, and as long as you are 1) sensible and 2) polite, you'll find the forums pretty receptive........
