More Ways to Encourage recruiting National Troops
- MORE WAYS TO ENCOURAGE NATIONAL TROOP USAGE:
- In game setup or Map Setup, there should be a separate screen which one activates by clicking �Extra Parameters�:
- There is a setting there for �Cost of Independent Troops�, ranging from Very Inexpensive (perhaps �25% gold cost) to Exceptionally Expensive (+75% gold). Thus, if wanted, non-national independents can be made more difficult to come by, if this is wished.
- Flag all ritual spells with types, including these types: #spelltype summontroops and #spelltype summoncommander ; in Game Setup, under �Extra Parameters�, there is a setting for �Ritual Summon Cost�. You can set �Summoned Troops� and/or �Summon Commander� to any setting between Very Inexpensive (perhaps �25% gem cost), Inexpensive (-10%), Default (normal), Slightly Expensive (+10%), Somewhat Expensive (+20%), Very Expensive (+30%), Exceptionally Expensive (+50% gem cost), to Incredibly Expensive (+75%), while keeping research values and Magic Site Frequency independent of these choices.
(This can also be used for Items as well � there could be a column for �Set Forging Costs� with identical settings...)
- Make a setting in this screen for �Gem-Producing Items and Units�, ranging from Easy (produces 1 extra gem every turn) to Very Difficult (produces gems at � rate, or thus 1 gem every 4 turns).
- Make SCs in general more expensive.
- Make extreme damage-dealing spells of one certain type (e.g. wrathful skies) either more expensive or allow more possibilities of countering.
