Balance ideas and suggestions
Has the OP Party Cart ruined your party? Is the Battlemage so weak he should be relegated to kitchen duty instead of wall defense? :)

It is still quite early to start balancing things, as the amount of content still waiting to be added is immense, but if you have any suggestions about balance issues, just chime in! This is more about single units, than whole classes/factions (way too much missing content for now to balance that side of the game).

if you change the dragon faction add more diversty in the dragons would be awesome as in vanilia it is pretty bland
examples:
1.storm
2.moss/forest
3.gemstone dragons
4.a dragon king unit maybe
5.frost fire
6.stone or rock
7.sun/moon

Good ideas, so far we have coded in Prismatic and Chromatic dragons, Sea and Water dragons, we will definitely take a look at your suggestion!

i willd efintily be trying this out but it think that we need MORE RACES/DWELLINGS! MOAR!!!!!!!!!!!. welp i think you get the idea :)

i have the best idea ever. here is my idea for a new dwelling and race. Dracons! there giant snakes that are the ancient ancestors of dragons and are the link between elementals and dragons. here are some types.
Snow Dracons: they live in the cold north and are the result of mutated snakes being exposed to and breeding with frost elementals. they are cold and cruel but also incrediblay intelligent. they have unique magic and have enslaved a northern version of naga.
fire dracons:they were created through the raping of female snakes by lesser fire elementals and spend their time etiher hibernating in lava flows or rampaging in a beserker rage. they can influnce peoples minds when hibernating.

that acutlly sounds pretty cool but i feel like they could be alternet types of naga as naga are snake people but even if they arent it would still be cool to see and will hopefully bridge the gap between wayverns and dragons as a teir 3 unit

thank you. i have a few more types aswell. theres chromatic which are the mix of all the types. they came into being after the other types and therefore are a mix of types. also they are the direct common ancestor of all dragons and wyverens as the other tpyes formed sepratly and have no genetic relation to each other.

welp im siging off for tonight. see ya!

Neat ideas! I'll recommend the rest of my team to read them :). I will not toss any spoilers in but some of the groups/factions, units and classes mentioned are what we consider an integral part of our little mod universe, so you are inevitably going to see them sooner or later (during second and third phases of deployment ie. - Embassies of minor and major powers in player cities, Headquarters of mercenary companies, various schools and orders and finally new dwellings). Thank you for sharing and keep them coming!

hey thanks for responding i have another dracon type.
Eldritch Dracon: umlike others that have a specific element these dracons were created through exposure to and the hunting of eldritich horrors. they spend large amount of time siphoning the life forces of node serpeants and of elementals and are generally cruel and unversially insane. there very presence on the battlefield can royally f up your mind.
galdershawron  [developer] 26 Sep, 2015 @ 6:43am 
The Eldritch Dracon's ability, specifically the one with the detrimental effect to enemy (or sometimes even friendly) units is something I'm actually working on right now (Dread presence, Infamy, Debilitating presence etc). I think it is a great idea to complement the positive battlefield auras/spells/abilities (and probably will force the players to go after these units first). Again, neat ideas :)

thanks
Curufinwe 26 Sep, 2015 @ 7:04am 
also since the effect compined with other abilitys would make it kinda op i think it should be tier 4 like the dragons
Curufinwe 27 Sep, 2015 @ 10:19am 
please respond. we need more interaction.
galdershawron  [developer] 27 Sep, 2015 @ 11:09am 
We are busy(having fun) testing atm, sorry :). Yes, effects like that should be definitely rare and I think that most of them will be attached to tier IV units.
Curufinwe 27 Sep, 2015 @ 11:27am 
yay he noticed me! okay ya i think most dracons should be tier 3 (except for eldritch and maybe one more im thinking on) and they should have like hatchling versions for tier 1, this would even out thw dragons peak alot
