[quote who="vanderbilt_grad" reply="59" id="3340136"] Personally I really wish that the summoner path dovetailed more with the actual magic lines. Summon Fire elemental requires 4 dots in Fire line and 4 dots in summoner line for example as opposed to being a sperate skill on it's own.[/quote] Only if they change the leveling, because with the actual leveling/unlocking rate it will make the summoner even harder to complet!But i'm agree each path need

[quote who="Sythion" reply="50" id="3338905"] Just played a game as Resoln with with summons to test this, and I don't think I've ever ROFLstomped everything in the game so hard. Granted, I was blessed with a large number of shards, but it was not extreme. I actually think this tactic is slightly OP if played right, which makes me feel a little narcissistic when looking at everyone's complaints (again). [/quote] In my original post I never s

[quote who="kobito" reply="106" id="3339683"] Is the issue really THIS serious? I agree on the salted tile, but usually I clean up the lairs first. If you afterwards do not protect your city...sorry![/quote] Yes I find the issue serious, and please before say sorry to people who don't defend their cities, give us your starting factions, perks and difficulties. Because how can I defend a city when it's attacked by a monster stronger than my sov army???? Whe

Sorry, what I mean it's not fun when it's the only way to play considiring the type of game. I just tried to play a fire mage without warlock, no fun to have spells like burning hand that do low damages even in first fights (and how you unlock spells, you can have warrior/defender/ass etc... using damage spells). Like you said the difference between an optimised build and normal one is too large ^^

+1 Have a list of aviable heroes for different fame cost that evolve with time (they could leave to another empire etc...). Have a spell that randomise the list or bring a new hero. The total number of aviable hero could depend of some building (like adventurer's guild). Wait wait... Damn it's already exist in Endless Space ;D What i hate the most it's often i get 2-3 heroes when I still got difficulties to fill my sov army and make in leveli

I'm agree with other that min/max isn't fun but you're forced into if you want your heroes to be usefull. Lokitako ideas are fine. I would add more quests, in particular some quests that don't request fighting for administrators and ability (throught adventurer guild?) to spawn some low level quests for your low level champions so they can progress.

Could use the civ5 way? Each horses/wargs nodes can support 2 units (or 1). Champions & henchmen who can buy at shop should not be counted in. Compared to civ games, mounts are full win with no malus. In civ mounts give you an offense bonus AND a def malus, and cavalry have a counter unit in pikemen. Spearmen could have a def/att bonus vs mounted units? Or introduce pike as special spears in the warfare tech tree. EDIT: Give mounted units spec

multi classes could be fun, but need to fix the xp first, it's already hard to level your heroes in 1 path, so 2 (3with the general one)...

The cost in ressource and time to produce mounted units could be increased, so only a bunch of your units would get them. They could reduce the amount of horses/wargs you get each seasons.

[quote who="25Atan" reply="77" id="3338142"] Why do you want to nerf heroes even more than they are right now by removing the only set of traits that let them catch up to decent utility and below average power on the battlefield? [/quote] When a trait/skill become a nobrainer for anyhero/game, there is a balance problem. The +x% xp traits are boring, specialy if they are the only way to level properly. It's just better to remove them and rebalance t

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="38" id="3338135"] But I also think that the LEVEL of what gets summoned should be the same as the caster. [/quote] That would help a bit, but not sure that would let wargs and early summons still viable late game. One of the big complaint come from the skill tree too I think. When I look at the mage tree, warlock got a long chain of passive +stats where summoners got a long chain of 1 time summons, either aren't m

Hope next update will be soon [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]

[quote who="Stupidity10" reply="37" id="3338129"] 4.Traits that let you use weaker summons later game. +total or summon in groups. [/quote] Like the idea, unlocking group summon or be able to fusion lower summons of same type, so you could get a 2wargs unit mid game and a 3 wargs unit later (with increased upkeep).

About loosing is fun: Loosing in Dwarf fortress is fun because of the deep simulation that can create new and surprising chains of events and because their is no victory to achieve. But in 4x isn't same, you have a goal, it's more competitive, even in sp. If people want more difficulty with razed cities in 1 raid/season, leave it as a option, so every one will be happy and enjoy LH as they want (isn't the point of difficulty levels and world options?). I fee

I desactivated the auto end turn, but when I save at the end of my turn and later reload the save, the game auto end the turn (and apply planified movements). I don't know for others, but personnaly I find it annoying.

Well, the +% xp perk could be removed, and the xp for all heroes augmented. I'm agree the leveling is really slow, and unlocking some perk that just give a base +bonus isn't really rewarding. Another problem is at each game i've done, in the first turns I quickly got like 2-3 heros + my sov (depending of quests) and I never got enough soldiers for support more than 1 army at this point (perhaps i don't handle the begining right, dunno), and since parking

Fox, Nunya : between different difficulties, the different perks (factions, characters etc...) and the different loots & quests you can get at the begining, all game are variable at begining, and I found in some game that you can be put in situations where you can't defend yourself. IF you have beastmaster, or rush summons like air elemental & undead, the game becaome easier. In one game I was lucky with my 2 first quest and was rewarded with free longbow women and spearmen with s

strange reasoning MM77 on a beta forum. So you found a little trick that give you huge mana and you want keep it secret? Because getting so much mana in one turn isnt OP?

Can we stop talking about cheating now? it's steril and have nothing to do with OP. I'm not agree Willie that be in a Fantasy setting mean anything can happen. Seriously, beasts raiding a city during one seasons and a well etablished city vanishing? A level 1 city, ok, but other feel weird. Now, fantasy or not, loosing a city like that affect the balance of the game. People defending the system say, it's your fault to over expanding/ n

Please can we stay on subject? there is no point debating if reloading a save is cheating or not. Each one play the game as he want. And the ability to reload change nothing to the problem of cities destroyed by mobs. Actualy, I find the game is more a rogue-like than a civilization. Like said Phystarstk , the game sometime send an event with strong mobs

+1 to change mechanic. I think the desaster should be different depending of the type of monster & strengh : - beasts and smaller monsters just kill some people and eat some food. - Bandits & other monsters of same type kill peoples, steal food & money. Stronger version can destroy some buildings. Could lead to a quest : Bandits taking hostages/slaves that you could rescue. - Stronger monsters do the same but with more

Willie, MoM was made long before the casual age, and I don't think anybody playing 4x want casual/easy games. But actually, playing summoner is just boring as hell : You must spend all your points into differents creatures, knowing earlier creatures will become useless later and don't even worth to give to your secondaries heroes. Really I don't see how you could win with an army of wargs. Never tested beastmaster, but there is way to balance it i'm sure (upkeep for ea

GfireflyE, there is already the 2 types of summoning, but you only get a bunch of tactical summoning : 1 undead & undead hordes for empire, wisp and another for Kingdom (The ui say they are strategique but they are tactical like for empire summoners no?). Earth have a beast summoning. But i'm not against more. Another thing I dislike : As a no summoner, you unlock like 3-4 spells for each point invested in fire, earth etc... disciplines. As a summoner you need m

More I think about LH, more I think the problem is how you acquire new spells. Compared to games like MoM where you got a master spell book and unlocking all the spell with research (or the recent warlock), here all the spells are scattered into multiples trees + tech tree. Personnaly I think each character or the faction need an unique spell tree, with all the spells aviables and lot of branching, and you unlocking tiers/spells categories with the fire/earth/life/death/water/air perks in you

Hi Frogboy. Long time haven't played it, but if I remember well appart the upkeep there was no limit to the nber of units you could summon. You could create armies if you got enough mana. But more powerfull creature got an increased upkeep. The most interesting was all schools got some summon spells, so depending your mage spellbooks, you got differents creatures. A death mage got undead, ghost etc... Fire mage fire creatures... Having all the summons in one skill tree, and unlockable in
