Should all assassins get Hidden? I kind of favor stripping it from everything but the Ghost, but also nerfing Ghosts a little so that they can't Sever Soul (right now it's excessively difficult to protect a hero unit in the field from a particularly determined & suicidal netherblade ghost)

Personally I think Ghosts should have better invisibility and the Escape spell.

-> If this means losing Divided soul, so be it.

I think it fits "my vision" of the Ghosts more closely. But meh, better to keep it simple.

Captured Clan cities do not double unit builds with Warrens when captured by the Elohim.

When you get gold from the religions/stars events (the ones you can get a golden age from), the wording on the mouseover is backwards. It says you will lose money by increasing taxes. It still functions correctly, but wording is funky.

Captured Clan cities do not double unit builds with Warrens when captured by the Elohim.

And the city still has a warrens building in it? I think I can fix that.

I've seen that too, I'll fix it.

Erm, are swordsmen actually supposed to be able to use mithril weapons?

[Tasunke]

Back when axemen/swordsmen were 60 hammers, it was borderline.

Now that they are cheaper (and rightly so I would imagine) I think their access to mithril weapons should be removed imho

Erm, are swordsmen actually supposed to be able to use mithril weapons?

It's not a bug. The only units listed as able to use Iron but not Mithril are archery units (longbow, firebow, nightwatch, crossbow, flurry) and Ogres. Warriors are bronze only, and everything else that can use metal can use all three.

It might be a design problem, though, now that Mithril is easier to research and swords are cheaper to build. It's worth a debate, anyway.

The argument being, why build a 120h S10 champion when you could be building 3 40h S8 Axemen instead?

I don't know... I think the simple answer is that an army made up of axes is going to be more hammer efficient, but a lot more gold inefficient. Unit costs would go through the roof. And in battle, a swarm of low power units riven with collateral probably isn't too useful. They die quick, giving the more high strength forces experience to make their units truly unbeatable by the swarm.

It's like the warrens. Warrens lets clan get their army out *fast* but it doesn't let them sustain an army for a long period.

I always thought it was warrior=bronze, axe/sword=iron, champion=mithril

Regardless, I think with mithril working being a lot cheaper in EitB, 45h / str 8 is completely ridiculous. That's cheap enough that you don't have to maintain them as a standing army and can just spam them out during war. If you're clan it's even more ridiculous

[Gaspar]

I think I like the idea that each melee type can only use weapons 1 tier above. Its more elegant. And probably better balanced with the cost reductions in the melee line.
