Reset Skills. Why tho?

[hollow patrol]

Resetting skills allows you to choose a different set of skills, which is kind of nice.

YET YOU GET STUCK WITH THE SAME CLASS. I've been turning my mages into proper melees for decades, and while I understand this is no longer a thing, turning a sword+shield guy into a BIG SWORD guy doesn't seem that far fetched. RESET SKILLS should allow you to change your hero class. Or at least there should be a way to do it.

The reason I thought the class system was great was because I thought "oh, finally I'll get to use reset hero skills!" but the class being fixed changes it from "very useful" to less useful than before.

Never did they say you could change your class. Kinda odd in my book if you could.

[hollow patrol]

It would be nice to have another way of chaning class.
As in sometimes you just need that melee hero and all you got is filthy sorcerers

Or sometimes you just want to give your sword+shield hero that tier 4 greatsword

It makes sense that it doesn’t. I mean you choose the class your playing at empire creation. If you don’t like that class, then change it before a game or play another empire.

What about heroes? Heroes can change their ambition, but they are stuck with their class forever. Even an event or a quest would do

[dim bramble]

Because it’s supposed to add weight to your decision of recruiting them?

Heroes or rulers shouldn’t be able to change their class freely or at all. Not a fan of this idea in the slightest

This makes heroes a bit harder to come by. Sometimes you just want that one knight with a shield, and all you have is mages and bows everywhere around you.

I don't like this kind of limitation, even if you can reroll

[dim bramble]

I mean not really? The more free cities you come by the more heroes you get available. Odds are you’re likely to get what you want. And even if you don’t, that’s the hand you’ve been dealt and you must play with. To me that’s the core fun of a strategy game is working with what you have.

But if it does bother you then you should be able to mod it

I’m sure someone will

[hollow patrol]

Some factions can't really interact with free cities much beyond "kill and raze", especially with some cultural traits

I hope someone will

[dim bramble]

This is true.

[hollow patrol]

But anyway, I'm actually kind of glad I'm the only one who complains lol

[dim bramble]

Good for discourse

[wheat mauve]

That's the built in drawback of those factions.

[devout quest]

i mean can't you just pick a different hero after all, or reshuffle

but chosen destroyers do get the short end of the stick there
