Default Re: Scales/bless changes you would like

I actually think Dom 2 superior in this regard - that you could buy themes and forts.

The point system is not granular enough - too often you will have 20 pts left and have to discard the build as it is not optimized or efficient.

I'd like options you can buy for points- so for example:

Buy an extra starting national scout - 5pts.
Buy an extra starting 200 gp - 5 pts.
Start with a prophet.. 5 pts.
Extra 10% HP for pretender - 5 pts
Extra +1 Atk on Pretender ... you get the idea.

---------------------------------------------------------

Second thing I'd like to see:

Make a unit creater. Allow each nation to create its own units. Give each nation unique advantages to reflect its themes.

So for example, all atlantean units have either amphibious or underwater - but underwater is free and amphibious is half cost.

All abysian units are fires resistent 25% and 50% and 100% are half cost. Additionally, all abysians get 5 pts of pd.
(whatever).

Then, have people 'buy' strength, movement, magic resistance etc - the weapon they want to use.

Each troop type would cost a number of points. The number of points you get would depend on the number of points you allocate to miliary.

So for example, out of a starting 1000 pts, abysia allocates 234 pts to troops ( a low number)

From that he creates a militia type, a flame wielding heavy infantry type, a national mage and a prophet. But thats all he has points for!

Adds almost infinite variety
