Regicide Remark

[Edwarf]

Hello,

Quick remarks about regicides :

• Due to the A24 elephant heroes change they are now able to destroy CC during phase 1 on a regicide game. I attach a replay from Dakara to illustrate this point.

• Extra heroes in regicide games : I figured out that some civs can have access to "new" heroes not trainable in normal game.
  • Macedonians 4th and 5th heroes :
    • 
  • Kushites 4th hero :
    • 
• Some heroes can start with a horse or without. Example :
  • 

About balance :

• Starting with random Heroes providing huge or useless bonus can severely impact the balance of a game (for example compare Indibil and the Kushite hero above)
• Also starting with a cavalry or infantry or elephant impact the hero safety :
  • Elephant heroes can't be garisoned
  • Infantry and Elephant heroes are easy to snipe.
• Cavalry heroes can kill all the economy of the opponent at the start of the game.

 

-> In order to balance regicide games: is it possible to provide a similar hero to each civilizations ? For example a cavalry hero with better resistance and less attack than standard cavalry heroes and with no bonuses. And this specific hero don't stop the possibility to train a standard hero during phase 3. This would be even greater if this can be set as a game option, Standard Regicide / Balanced Regicide (Yes random games are still fun)

Alternatively, if you could let players choose their hero at the start of the game.

Infantry heros.

If I'm not mistaken all horse heroes have been transformed into infantry heroes in A23.
