Why does the enemy leader sleep all time?
I mean, after move 1 (when The Boss goes capturing the nearest village) the enemy leader sits and waits for our armies to storm the keep.
Is there a reason for keeping the (usually) strongest unit at bay?

On holy ground the undead do -25% damage or have lower defense, or whatever

On cursed ground all other units do -25% damage or whatever.

Just the idea.

OK, I've been working on a graphic for an upgraded Shock Trooper, and it's almost finalised. But the question remains - should it remain in the same greys as the previous two levels, or should it have golden highlights to demonstrate its superiority? Opinions please.

I've been thinking that a hotkey that showed at one time the hexes where all enemy units can reach would be useful. It wouldn't matter which or how many units could get to which hex (though I suppose the latter could be done with increasing opacity).

Unit abilities such as 'heals', 'cures', 'regenerates', 'ambush', etc, are difficult to make flexible. To make a system that would allow anyone to define any ability they want in WML would require a full-fledged programming language, that'd probably be so complicated that anyone who could use it...

I have the idea that you could issue defend action to a unit that hasn't attacked. It ends its move at that moment and has +30% defense during opponent round. Something like fortify in civilization.

Implementing the feature to see how damage in attacks is calculated, has made me realize that the calculations may have some problems.

Why is the Princess so much weaker than the Lord? She's a level three unit, he's a level three unit, but they're so far from equal. Not only does he have 20 more hitpoints, his sword does more damage and he has a bow attack as well.

At the very minimum, I think she should have a 12-5 sword attack...

This is a feasible way to do it, but I think there is a more interesting way to do it.

This thread is for people to suggest features they want for version 0.8 of the game.

This MAY be the last version with new features in it before we release 1.0. That is, if a feature doesn't get into 0.8, don't expect to see it for a long time.

Let the suggestions begin :)

Allow the player to set wich attack a unit defends with if it has multiple attacks of the same range. Its stupid that the Shyde defends with her ensnare attack when she has a more powerfull thorn attack. The same with Konrad defending with his bow when he has the scepter (or Sword of Fire).

At the moment, recruiting and recalling units can be a laborious process, especially with a lengthy list.

You have to:

select 'recruit' or 'recall'
