cool bridges!

I like it

Different countries sometimes have radically different pronunciations of the same letters. Our "o" might be their "a", for example. The idea is to make sure that people in x country don't end up pronouncing Konrad as "Choonret", or something. Konrad should remain Konra...

No, your idea is up to Dave to refute. This has been suggested before, but I don't like it so much. The idea of the default attack selection is to make the 'very very obvious choice' of the most powerful attack. If the player wants to do something 'smart' like choose a less powerful attack in excha...

I have been thinking about this myself for a while... I think I posted something about picking attacks based on something slightly different. If it's not too presumtuous, I want to suggest a way of doing this. Math follows: !! For every possible attack-defence pair. suppose that the attack is 4-2 50...

All upgrading is inevitable if you play long enough, since statistically, some units will survive and some of those will survive long enough to upgrade. Kind of like Le Chatelier's principle: each particle has some chance of crossing a barrier, so some particles will inevitably do it. Which means t...

the most important thing, IMHO, is that there is only one kind of XP, and it can only be gotten by fighting. Nice, simple rules. As for people who are saying the reasoning against this idea is actually for it... what you want is a game completely different from wesnoth. there are lots of rules in w...

I don't see how the "It makes their upgrading inevitable" thing doesn't apply here. If you make scouts get xp from scouting and healers from healing, then all you have to do is recall those units scenario after scenario, and soon enough, they'll advance. And the important thing is that th...

What if it is a gryphon rider or a drake beak, which can scout and fight? What if it is a White Mage, which can heal and fight? They can still get experience from fighting as well as experience from healing. That way if you use them to fight they will probably advance faster and if you use them to ...

neat idea

you said elves have shamans, orcs have regenerate... what about the other factions? why should undead get healing when knalgans, drakes and humans don't? well that's fine... I'm not really sure how the game is supposed to be played. You probably have more experience than me playing the other races....

in general, advancing (what XP helps you do) does not make you a better scout or healer, it makes you a better fighter. so why should scouting or healing make you a better fighter? (yes, shaman -> druid gives you better healing, but it also gives you much better fighting, and i don't think you shou...

every race can heal by staying in villages -- granted. But if you want to move quickly, without resting one turn here and there in villages, then you need a way to heal on the way. Orcs regenerate. Elves have healing units. Undead units could use a way to heal. How about one of these ideas? 1. Basic...

please read the FAQ (stickied to the top of this page) before posting! this has to be the most proposed (and rejected) suggestion ever. hyperbole aside.... I am offerring a new reason to justify this. I did read the FAQ, it says that offerring experience without putting your units in battle makes t...
