As long as they take a slot another unit could use, melee/archer heroes need to be about equivalant in fighting ability to a unit that would take equal cost (offset by the effort involved in leveling heroes) that could have been used instead.

[quote who="Stuie_acs" reply="2" id="2815649"] Is that true for the dragon one as well? That quest never completes for me. [/quote] Yes, though with it if you save and reload after starting the quest then it fails to work (it will say you completed it but you do not get the dragon).
Your sovereign needs to be holding them.
[quote who="Fistalis" reply="25" id="2815286"]Problem is you totally discount those of us who like to play a game with roommates or friends etc just to have fun. Not every game has to be a deathmatch competition. Those of us who want a MP clone of SP are mainly in this catagory..

The campaign is good for learning controls, but it leaves out the most important thing (research) and does not give a good sense of how the game is paced. This results in many people losing their first non-campaign game.
Impulse at least should be made multiplatform, then people can download the non-Windows version if they change systems at some point if the company made a version for that system. This would make Impulse more appealing and availible to a wider audiance, so it is likely to have the greatest gain for the cost of porting it.
[quote who="ALJOS82" reply="6" id="2814861"]There is no chance to update the game if you bought it directly through impulse as you already download the updated version. So I suppose this should not be a problem, otherwise I would be really angry. [/quote] There should not be, as the deal with updating was so they would have a record of you having the game by the deadline. If you get it and download via Impulse it comes out to the same thing.

[/quote] And intermidiate units that use the limited resources but do not have the best of everything will not get made unless it cannot be avoided.

[quote who="Magog_AoW" reply="130" id="2814578"]Hey here's an idea. Why not make resources (except gildar and materials) limited? When you have mined all the iron in your mine you will need to find more elsewhere. Also, when you win a battle you get to recycle the equipment of your opponent. Say if a unit cost 1 iron to build, you scoop that iron up from the battlefield in loot. Or if you like, scoop up a percentage of that 1 iron. [/quote] No. Just no. Limited resources are eith
[quote who="Taurni" reply="113" id="2814149"]Simply increase the amount of resources mined, as the city levels up. This makes no sense, "My lord!

[quote who="Magog_AoW" reply="90" id="2813231"]It's not broken so don't fix it.[/quote] However, the economy is being changed already. It will be going to be based around your population and will focus on cities rather than resource tiles for the most part. As it is changing, it makes perfect sense to evaluate if there is a way to make the economy work better in the new model.
[quote who="Dsraider" reply="80" id="2813061"]Having the ability to change gold into iron however might be very OP and diversity killing.[/quote] That depends on how it is done.
