Units: There dose need to be some more that Just the Normal Human units:
I would like to see Ships get more development: Say a base type and let us add stuff to them, Better sails, Ballista, Catapults, Or Archers Have each size get more # of Weapons. So a Schooner could only have only one weapon, while a Warship can carry six catapults.
Schooner : Fast small armed scout: Can cary one Unit(up to a squad)
Not sure on cost:
Transport: Carries Units
Brigantine: An armed warship mounts 3x weapons can carry 4 units
Warship: Heavy warship: Mounts 6x weapons can carry 6 units
Merchant Ship : Acts like a caravan has to have a harbor at each city But with 4x the bonus ( since it dose not make roads)
Flying Units---
Ok So we have dragons.... that cant fly..... What the hell...... Are the wings for cooling off and not flight?
Would like to see
Pegasus ...
Wyvern
Griffons
ect...
Plz...... Lol wanted mounted Archers on flying horses >.>
Equipment:
Make it more unique, Let us add Elemental Abilities to our weapons and armor. Some Weapons should impart skills or abilities.
Addition of Spell Granting Equipment - Such as Crystal Staffs, Wands, Charms, Rings, Armor .Ect...
How I would like this to work is that Each Type of Equipment is linked to a type of Elemental Shard and would have a List of spells that require more equipment of the same shard to unlock more powerful abilities .
Example:
Fire Crystal Staff : Att: 1 Def: 1 Int+ 2 Essence + 4
Abilities -----------------# Required number Equipped of That element. * Have to have already researched the spell
* Fire Bolt 1
* Scorch 2
* Fire Ball 3
Ect......... Have some spells that require cross elements --
Bows I think range needs to be changed, with a Min range of 2: Short bows should be 2-7 spaces Long Should be 2-12 spaces
Composite Short Bow: This bow is made from layers of different Materials Giving a Stronger attack: Attack 5 Range 2-9
Composite Long Bow: This bow is made from layers of different Materials Giving a Stronger attack Attack 8 Range 2- 14
Crossbow: -.5 Ap: Attack 12 Range 1- 8
Heavy Crossbow: -1 Ap Attack 20 Range 1-11
Random Things:
Let me bribe the Bandits to leave my stuff alone. or Hire them..
More than gold for loot
More spells... not sure but want more...
Im not going to get on the combat and magic they have been discussed to death...
Sorry for how long this got... I will stop now..
