Re: PRI 1: Geodryw - OP [DISCUSSING]

For geodryw, I suggest we go with the ability changes mak has planned. Stone fall should be for buildings and mechanical targets only, then adjust the wasp swarm spell to actually deal decent damage at full range. This will eliminate the extreme damage output against most units and replace with some...

Re: Skirmish Maps for gems (Priority)

Suggested method for determining gem payout: Highest gem value among opposing teams divided by gem value of players team, rounded down. Matches where multiple players are "human" are invalid. Player is worth 1 gem Easy ai is 0.5 gems Hard ai is 1 gem Very hard is 1.5 gems Impossible is 2.5...

Re: Skirmish Maps for gems (Priority)

Maybe there can be a "Challenge" mode in Skirmish games which gives more advantages to the AI and makes the match grant gems on a win. Sadly, hard ai is already too much for new players who need the gems most. This should probably scale with settings, but the lowest level players with abs...

Re: New Handgonner unit Upgrades. Arquebusier and Musketman.

Gunpowder unit upgrades are a big no in general case. The existing gunpowder units are a holdover from a previous design leader and are not time period appropriate already. Advancing them to better versions just pushes the time period issue further.
