Patch Improvements

[Cainehill]

Agreed - the limitted number of global slots tends to ensure that 75% of the global spells _never_ get used, because you'd rather use one of the limitted slots for a more useful spell.

It might be interesting when there would not be global spell slots, but just the limitation that every spell can only be active once.

That dosn't make any sense though for most spells.

Dark Skies. Gift of health. Fata Morgana.

Give me one reason why those spells can't be cast in seperate empires.

Other spells like Utterdark & second sun could be limited with a message like "someone else has done the hard work for you"

And there are a few spells that couldn't really be cast more than once, Motheroak. Well of Missery. Arcane Nexus. For those spells I'd say you'd have to use more gems then the current one to redirect/relocate the spell. For balance reasons probably all the gem producing global enchantments should be in here.

I can't see why multiple empires couldn't have Stellar Focuses (Stellar Focii?) or Gale Gates or such either. I'd like to see a split into empire-wide spells (Carrior Forest, Soul Gate etc plus some other spells) and truly global spells (Utterdark, Arcane Nexus, Astral Corruption etc.).

I'm having trouble finding the most recent 'patch suggestions' list to give my feedback on. Is there an updated one?

I think a lot of these, most of them in fact, are pretty important, and want to make sure my vote gets counted for which should be forwarded to the developers...

Thanks.

I think it does not make less sense than having 5 slots for global spells, and it would be like the wonders in civ, but with the difference, that this wonders can be dispelled.

Its just an idea, but i would like it.

While talking about global enchantments, something i'd really like to see is a setting for "max number of global enchantments" that's adjustable when creating a game. maybe something like 1-25. I don't know if it's hard to implement but imho it be a great addition without any downsides if it's easily done.

Id love to see an...*drum roll*...item-creation wizard!

A system for random-curved or fractal rivers in the map-generator would be nice too.

global enchantments-

if the dispel is cast first before any global enchantments-
what i find troublesome is if i hold 2 or 3 of the globals and i want to cast another one.

if i attempt to cast the dispel and new global on the same turn, i have about a 25% chance of attempting to dispel my own global along with attempting to dispel an enemy's global.
