New ideas
Since I have once again been screwed over due to my none-existent access to Internet I havenīt been able to keep the discussion flowing as it should. Sorry about that! *ahem*
First of all, why are you snowing about the Fallen Angels/Devils and so on. They are just names, itīs the CONCEPT that matters. That is; We would like to see alternative growth levels for Angels and Devils as well as other higher level cretures. (If names seem to be a tough spot, letīs just call them ::something else::
Do not snow about horses, we have centaurs, unicorns, pegasi. What do you want more? Dark/Light Pony?!
Also I got some new ideas during my absess from Internet, which I refer to later as "The Dark Times"...well, anyway...
As they are struggling to make Heroes more realistic, which I and many others know will never work since it IS a fantasy game, I felt is was time to tamper with the ultimate...that is ECONOMY.
Remember all those days, weeks and months you spent saving up money with Rampart so you could get that 10 % income every week. Well, why not add, prises that change as in real life. Say one week, Arch-Angels might cost the average 5000 gold, the other week maybe 3500 and the third maybe 6000. (Changes wouldnīt be this drastic of course, but I just wanted to show my idea clearly.) This would not affect your income, if you have a Capitol you would still make 4000/day but the VALUE of the money would change. Meaning that you eighter get more or less for your money. With inflation high, units might cost double their normal price and when low cheaper. (This didnīt work out as I planned so no snowing, but feel free to make an update!)
This could be fun īcause now thereīd be some strategy involved in balancing resources instead of just trying to sit on the biggest pile. Other resources than gold, concerning the recruitment of units, say 2 gems for one Titan would not change, although market rates might do so.
The other idea was simply for a unit, feel free to call it whatever you like since weīre experiencing certain vocal issues here. I choose to call it (for now!) the Monroe, since it would mainly blow up skirts in you face (not with explosives, wind and no lame fart jokes!).
The monroe would give your units say +1 on speed and lower enemy speed by -1.
Upgraded, say "the Marilyn", would enchance our speed with +2 and lower enemies by -2.
A kind of idiotic units, but Iīm tired and I want to post crap.
Keep those posts flowing and Iīll check in someday to see results.

Bad idea!!!
This is a strategy game and not a game based on luck!!
The monroe idea is good...

It has been a while...
...since I was able to access Internet, but now Iīm back with new strenght after a hot summer exercising my profession...well anyway...
Looks like our discussion went down the crapper. I would love to continue this discussion if not the get attention from 3DO at least as a chance for us to ventilate new ideas for units, races and so on.
For all of you who didnīt participate in our old discussions, your thoughts, comments and ideas are more than welcome.
I will be back now and will try to answer and keep this thread running again. Oh well, post and letīs see if can get things a little interesting around here.
Smack the keyboard up and post. Good to be back, Lovedoc

Offtopic: note from the moderator
Lovedoc, I found it necessary to do a bit of editing on your June 29 post on this thread. Not much, just a little bit, mainly removing some alternate names for units which I felt breached the code of conduct in the FAQ. Please read the new FAQ, and follow the code of conduct outlined there.
I won't alter someone's post lightly, as a free expression of ideas is part of what this community is all about. However, I do respectfully request that anybody who hasn't taken a minute to read the FAQ , please do so, especially the Code of Conduct.
Now, having gotten that off my chest, welcome back, Lovedoc. Hopefully you'll be able to avoid another 'Dark Time'.

I don't think any of you are even creative or original enough to post a creature that hasn't been seen in a game or in a book somewhere...

Thanks...
Itīs good to see moderators taking the time to actually look at posts. Iīll try to be a better writer from now on.
Feel free to drop in own thoughts at any time UnkaHaakon!
Who said that we werenīt original. Have you even read our posts Shae?!
Instead of nagging you could have posted original thoughts of your own.
The idea of implementing units from Dungeons and Dragons is good. Iīve just started playing with some friends, although all weīve encountered so far are some trolls and goblins. Due to the lack of a beastiary I canīt say which monsters that existens and which ones do not. If you have found something that doesnīt exist already feel free to post them along with suggested creature stats.
Thatīs all for now I guess, keep the posts coming!
Btw. I never got any comments about my economy idea, anyone care to pick up that pin?
