* [123] Class units of different races hard to visually differentiate/Class-granted units of a race aesthetically clash with that race’s racial unit aesthetic.
==================================================================Potential Solution(s):
– Update models with more race-appropriate assets (Such as Tigran Sunshields on Tigran Crusaders and Phalanx) as time and budget allow.Link(s) to the detailed discussions:

[124] Roaming 3-Lost-Soul stacks spawning from Necromancer Circles are too common and significant an impediment to scouting on current duel settings, since their superior mobility allows them to reach and kill even cleverly-used class scouts. This increases randomness, delays player-to-player interaction, and decreases the value of dedicated scouts.
==================================================================
Potential Solution(s):
– Change one of the souls to a ghouled T1 with less movement options (this has less support than other options)
– distinctly lower the frequency of Necromatic Circle spawns compared to other sites (this has more support)
– have roaming indy stacks only attack things within their own vision range (this is likely impossible, and would not necessarily solve the issue)
– lower the spawning frequency of Necromancer Circles/move the floating-only spawns to only later turns, for instance 3 banshee and 3 souls on the 3rd/4th spawn (this would not necessarily be practical)Link(s) to the detailed discussions:

*[127] Problem: Prevent experience farming
==================================================================Potential Solution(s):
– The consensus is to cap experience awarded from a battle. Each battle has an experience pool that cannot be exceeded.
– The pool could be determined by enemy combatants (including tier level) and potentially structures, due to structure defense spell.
– A couple of approaches to awarding experience:
– Option 1: Current XP awards are changed to “contribution” points and the pool limit is then divided by contribution after the battle is over. As a result, no more mid-battle medal awards nor losing-side getting experience (which comes into play with resurrect, ghoul curse, etc.).
– Option 2: Stop awarding experience in battle after the limit is reached. Hence, aggressiveness by units at the beginning of a battle is awarded. I imagine this solution would be easier to implement.
– See thread for other options as wellLink(s) to detail discussion:

*[128] Problem : difficulties to read what provides skills, bonus or malus in the sheet of heroes or units
=====================================================================
The Point :
Everyone seems to agree there are many skills for heroes and units (and it’s a good thing !), but it’s very difficult to combine and optimize them when we are checking our armies because we don’t see quickly what provides skills (we have to wait for tooltip for each line)Potential Solution(s):
– Highlight background with colours for each line of skill. Each colour would mean what provides the skill : the ground, an artifact, a leading hero…
– Similar solution with modifying the color of the font instead : it would be more esthetic.
– Better solution : add a clear icon to the right of the skill which identifies what provides skill. We could have several icons in the case of several things which provide the same skill and this could help the player to remove useless artifact for instance (because hero has already the skill)Link(s) to the detailed discussions:

* [133] Problem: [Bridges cannot be removed (easily)]
==================================================================Potential Solution(s):
– Give the ability to raze bridges like watchtowers and fortresses.
– Give the ability to raze bridges like cities, with a turn requirement.
– Give builders an ability to destroy bridges while standing on the bridge or on the tile connecting to it.
– Lava bridges should be either undestructable or get a way to build them, like a new terraforming spell. If lava bridges become destroyable, there should be a way to destroy them without killing the unit on it in the process.Link(s) to the detailed discussions:

my proposals
1. its not well structured if in battle
2 colours , 1 for attacker, 1 for defender
heroes flags , creatures stars or whatever2. unfair starts and more tactical options
pre-choosing 1st hero-class
Buy In points (BIP):
you get for lets say normal starting army setup 300 BIP
so u can buy whatever and as many as u can
example humans , u want Human Priest 70g + 20m = 90 BIP
u can get 3 priests for 270 BIP. leftover 30 BIP can be transformed into extra
gold or mana.3. cosmic happenings
example Rise of the Dire Penguins , A level 12 Archdruid roams the map
i think its best if all the players gets attacked by a similar hero.
and no countdown anymore after the announcement it will be executed in 2-4 rounds4. casting autobattle
3 options
a. no casting
b. all heroes
c. all except leader coz of the stupid Battlefield Enchantment disjunction triesand or preferred spell for ur leader. 3 boxes for spells allowed.
i have more but thats it for today
cu
Please nerf disentegrate. It kills high level heros and units with a WAY TOO HIGH success ratio. The success of this spell should only be really high for lower tier units. As it is now, it’s almost like an instakill.
Either nerf it, or make it so that you can’t find it in a dungeon. If either the user or CPU finds it in the dungeon, it gives that player an instakill that’s feels like a cheat code.
Decrease High Elf Gryphon rider’s base defense by 2, but make them amoured, for a net difference of 0. But elves armor their bowmen, so of course their elite calvary would be armored. This would allow them to take advantage of enchanted armory.
That all races have identical units as well as classes. The difference is only in race.
– There is no balance in the game at all, the Dreadnought is just a total imba.
– The script of the campaign is worked terribly, at times the player encounters simply with the colossal armies and only the stupidity of AI saves from destruction.
– An extremely small number of spells, plus some of them are useless.
– In the game, it makes sense to stamp only T3 and T4 units, all that goes below stupidly wangs with these troops.
And it’s sad, we are playing a lot with my friend from papercheap -
