The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

@guillermo: uhm, the units weren't specifically to balance the drake faction, mainly just level-ups. the burrower could be seen as a balance though, no? in anycase, imho it shouldn't be balanced even if undead were slightly stronger than drakes. It's only drakes vs undead, not drakes in general. I t...

Ok, just pitching a couple ideas. I'm don't know the game so in depth, so I prob. shouldn't make the stats. Saurian Burrower: A lizard that digs "foxholes", to defend from. either simply give it the steadfast ability, or maybe a new ability where it's defense rating(% chance to hit it) goe...

Yeah, I get your point. 1. The example was just to show that a person's traits(RL) are dependent alot on nurture, and not just nature. Regarding the game, I still think that it wouldn't hurt to choose the traits of the hero. It just makes sense that in a game you can choose who/how you are. Also, if...

// digression from top to bottom @Turin & Neo: well, I suppose people that is usually the case maybe, but it wasn't for me, and it definately wasn't for my brother. I'll use his exapmle since it's more: My brother used to be rather chubby, right on the borderline of fat. I used to always be able...

The acquisition of new information makes you more wise and not more intelligent, yes you're right, but imho the more you study, the more you are "training" this ability, and you probably become more intelligent too. Same goes for other traits. and yes of course, if someone is born with som...

Yeah, actually I meant in multiplayer mode. even the temporary advantage you get is quickly resorbed by the lack of unit recruitement. I was thinking of making the leader sufficiently powerful, in a way that, at least one medium maps, having your leader on the frontline or keeping it in the keep is ...

Well right now, Leaders are little used, especially because they tend to be easy to destroy. Imho something should be done to encourage the use of leaders. First of all, leaders (in general units that you don't recruit but start with in the beginning of the game) don't have any traits. Imho doesn't ...

I don't think Drakes need changing for those reasons either.
imho though, it'd be nice to add a little to the saurian exp-tree, add a branch to the skirmisher, and add up-level to the caster. hmmm, I'll think of stats later.
