I just got: Ambition, Conviction, Heavy, Stoneskin, Heroic Defense, and Regeneration, with no negative ones. 
What's your best mutation?

Make me laugh so much
Funny to see almost every planned changes come after planning as considered a problem by fans

I know... It's almost like they know what we're doing, to post issues about a system JUST after we decide to change it... That design was finalized what, 2 days ago? 
Yeah, let's just hope we see this new, improved version sometime before Tiger's next golf game. 
Speaking of mutations, I almost never get one without a negative promo...and, it seems like at least 50% of the time or more I get the one that makes my unit run away.

I will say one thing on the new system (Beyond this: I'm not the one making it, I just came up with the system. ): Results will typically be more balanced; Both good and bad, though in COMPLETELY different ways from what exists now. There will also be a few rare occurrences where the unit gains a very, very nice promo... To the extent where the unit even gets a unique name.

has anything in this system been made known. Cause I was always thinking it would be fun to have another arm

Nope, and that's not the system. Was my original idea, but I had a better one... One good enough that another modder volunteered to do it, so I don't have to.
I would say who, but I'm not sure if we decided to announce that yet... And it's more fun to tease people anyway.

I usually get one good promo, a few useless ones, and one bad one that doesn't really affect most situations (Such as -50% fire res or something). Although once I got a Lucian with NO negative promos, only good ones, and he singlehandedly wiped out four civs, plus captured about five forts from barbs/civs.

Since it's already been said elsewhere: The newest team member, Opera, is working on the Mutation mechanic. It's actually what caused Opera to join the team... Apparently she liked my idea.
My best mutation? Conviction, Strong, Berserker, heavy and light-weight (or whatever it's called), and Crazed. I'm starting to view crazed as not that bad of a draw back. At least it doesn't make my unit feral, which acts as if it has a far higher chance of just the claimed 5% for a unit to turn barbarian.

If I get "Feral", I have 1-3 turns before my unit abbandoned me....I hate my life...
Heard of reload or the worldbuilder? For heroes and stuff that goes barbarian it's considered good practice
But use it to much and all fun goes away, like all drugs
