[Monkeyfinger]

I've played the game this hypothetical comes from and I didn't recognize what you were talking about until you mentioned Palom and Porom.

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

You didn't recognize Tellah, the Serpent Road, or the Tower of Wishes?

 

[Psycho_Ivan]

Dain already has Arcane/Philosophical.

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

But they don't have the Sage unique unit, the special buildings, or, to my knowledge, the civ trait.

Is this balanced for the world of Erebus?

 

[Korias]

Maybe, Four mana, but at a cost of income?
Serpent Road could be very powerful. How early are you giving it?

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

Hm..... What about after discovering Sorcery?

 

[Korias]

Would you still be able to build the World Wonder-Gate thing at X (cause I cant remember what tech it was), or would it too be buildable at Sorcery?

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

Yeah Sure. But you would still have to build Serpent Roads for the Income Bonus. This way you can afford to lose a building if it gets destroyed somehow.

 

[BugReportage]

As far as a I know a building can provide max 3 resources.

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

I thought a resource was something like horses... I'm talking about a +3 trade bonus... LIke from an airport.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

As far as a I know a building can provide max 3 resources.

A building can provide 3 types of resources, but I no of no limit on the number it provides on each except that they must all be in equal quantities. (Well, I'm sure it has to be a non-negative integer, and that it certainly must have an upper bound but that bound is probably way higher than you'd ever need it to be.)

Having a palace provide 2 Life + 2 Fire is certainly possible, but 2 Life + 1 Fire + 1 Mind would not be.

Arcane/Charimatic could be too strong...

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

How? I'm new here.

 

[Tyrs]

Mages would get XP faster from Arcane, and need less XP to upgrade from Charismatic.

 

[Lord'sBelievers]

Mages would get XP faster from Arcane, and need less XP to upgrade from Charismatic.

Hm... Could it be rigged so that the Charismatic bonus only applies up to the Adept level?

 

[zup]

Arcane and charismatic together just might make casters useful compared to melee. Wait, of course nobody wants units that can rival melee.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

(cough)amurites(cough)

 

[zup]

I am referring to the usability of melee and the lack thereoff for other unitcombats. Most unique units are melee too. March and city raider really make melee dominate everything without support. And they hardly have to worry about assassins.
