Global Assualt is an intersting ultimate in conjunction with this mod as it guarentees cheap and easy T4 units. I believe that this is something to be discussed. But first I believe there exists key concepts we must acknowledge. To start with:

1. If I do change it it will be as a seperate mod, for I am personally against changing people's game against their will, but if they feel it improves their experience, I want to provide it. So if any change is made it will be a compatability mod for Legendary Units.

2. There is an arguement to be made that if ultimate's are able to be cast, that person has won anyway, so it doesn't matter what the ability does. However, this has been discussed many times on the official forums, and some have found, especially in larger SP games, that many players may gain their Ultimate.

3. The Warlord special is unique in that even after it is dispelled it still has an effect as all the units remain gold level, this uniqueness, the deemphasis on mana and casting points, is something I'd like to maintain if possible.

4. We must remember that the evolution does not occur until 1 battle has been fought, so it is slightly less extreme than it may first appear (Though not much)

Now onto ideas.

A. a huge discount on buying units. The warlords already get that anyways if they cast the spell, for knights are essentially reduced to the cost of horsemen due to evolution, and draconian units all cost pennies if you don't care what you get.

B. I think that regardless of the change, the first strike and charge should remain, as it is not the problem.

C. If possible, perhaps the ultimate could grant every unit a permanent ability or abilites, such as granting martial arts to every unit even after Global Assualt is dispelled. (Although seeing as Warlords can already grant Martial Arts this particular ability would be a poor choice.)

D. Thematically, Warlords specialize in strong units and cheap production, as well as large, specialized armies.

E. When you are a Warlord what matters most is being in position and getting there, because you can baiscally win all the fights.

F. Perhaps a way to see the entire map, or to move faster?
