World map spell restrictions in closed beta

[stiff wagon]

The proposed one world map spell per turn sounds too restricting especially for play-through specializing on magic. The problem of casting too many spells could be solved by making multiple casts less appealing but still viable if entirely focused in it.

I would propose adding an upkeep on precast spells to limit their accessibility. So you can't precast 7 spells then fire all at once. Either mana upkeep per precast spell or precast only reduces the world map casting points by X% instead of eliminating it entirely.

About a wizard king with too many world map casting, it is possible to add a X% casting points modifier per spell cast that turn.

e.g 1st summon per turn costs 50 mana / 50 world cast points. 2nd summon per turn costs 60 mana / 60world cast points. 3rd summon per turn costs 70 mana / 70 world cast points.

I would disable the ability to store spells, or limit it to 1.
If one has many casting points, more spells should be allowed, but storing a bunch of spells seems lame

Agree

I think making the spells stored cap scale with something visible would be a great start. Something like starting at 1 for non-wizard kings and 2 for wizard kings, then maybe a tier 2 wizard tower upgrade could increase it to 3.

Yeah, this is something I'm not fond of. As the game goes on, I'm just going to end up with a whole bunch of casting points that are effectively "dead" and functionally unusable because I won't be able to spend them on anything, and it's going to turn terraforming into a slog. If people have been abusing overworld combat spells to nuke down armies, isn't it more appropriate to limit those specifically, and not lock out the rest of the toolkit?

Or disable saving spells once ready... which is kinda a weird idea anyway
