Leftover Pretender Points

maybe increment, like magic. 5,10,15 etc, to avoid min/maxing (or make it less worth it at least).

Or multiply x 5 or x 10 for starting gold?

Are your suggesting multiplying your starting gold by 5x or 10x for your left over points?

that, uh, that doesn't sound balanced at all.

I think HP would be alright, on a 1-1 basis. I've given some thought to possibly in the future having the ability to purchase more than one Pretender-a main one and then a "pantheon", but that could become a little bit crazy.

Extra hp would be cool, but it would need complex restrictions. 15-20 extra hp on a wyrm is no big deal. 20 extra hp on a master lich can make a difference. (Although I wouldnt mind protecting him from wither bones

).

Just remember, it's not 15-20 extra hp on JUST a master lich, it's 15-20 extra hp on a master lich Pretender. I'm of the theory that your Pretender should be one of-if not the most-potentially powerful units you ever have access to in the game. If it were 15-20 extra hp on 30 units, like you'd get by buying 15-20 extra units with gold, it'd be much more of a problem than on just your Pretender.

I suggest that each point would be a 1% increase round up. So putting points into the wyrm would be better than the lich and not overpower the pretenders who have low HP for a reason.

I also agree with the 39 point cap.

I dont really hear anyone saying that they dont want this feature. This may be one of the most popular and least contriversial requests. I hope the Developers work on this.
