[Suggestion] Soldiers

from Elemental Forums

Soldiers right now you just make a few but you mostly just form a party of Champs and just go wreck everything in your path.  How about showing some love to soldiers in the form of different bonuses as they level. Right now they only get better when you upgrade them with new tech or they level up and get more HP (you been doing only hp bonuses since GCII, come on now we want more!  :) ).

 

Can we give them some other bonuses when they level (no where near champ leveling abilities). Say every 2-3 levels they also get a random small bonus to their attributes, and or ever 3-4 levels they get low level perks and or abilities. Someone else wanna get this ball rolling with their ideas?

Soldiers are rank and file grunts. You've chosen their equipments and teached them how to fight when you've designed their unit. When 7 out of 8 guys are killed in a battle and the survivor gains XPs, how do you explain bonuses given to them? Gains in HP and some attack/defence seems to be good enough.

The solution is to rearm and drill again if you want to give them new attributes and this solution is already given to you. They are unknown and unnamed guys doomed to anonymous graves. Why should they have a chosen path to the glory by levelling?

I think trained units are great as they are...I use them all the time and they are extremely helpful.  I rarely find more the two low-level champions to hire before mid game.  I think gaining traits ought to be reserved to champions.

I use them all the time, I find them better than most of my champs in offensive melee power if my champs don't have powerful magic weapons.
