What if we gave rantine a boost, like his strength times 1.5?
Personally, I think this is a sterling idea. He is, well, really
really really weak as is. To the point of being almost useless, frankly. Now, don't get me wrong here.. I appreciate the potential inherent in his special ability. It is highly circumstantial whether you will get to use it however, and even then it isn't that much different from having conquered the cities honestly. Less effort, but really.. But entirely on the side of his special ability, what is the deal with him being so extraordinarily wussy? I mean.. He's as strong as an Axeman. And you get him.. at the same time you get axemen!
Okay, so yes, he accumulates XP. He's a self-learning axeman. And yes, you could give him the Heroic.. What's the new names for them? Anyway, the ones that increase Attack Strength and whatnot. But at the end of the day, even when maxed out with tons of experience, he is hard pressed to even be as good as a Maceman later on.
I dunno, he just feels horribly
lacking as a hero, to me. I want heroes that aren't just worth a minor boost in the early game, or that will get eclipsed by regular units a bit further into the game. ^_~
So yes, I, for one, am in favor of increasing his strength at least a little. Not all too much of course since he does come out early on, but for the love of Bhall, at least make him a
bit manly eh?
