Actually, I think that most of these things (Hero Units, Minor Items, Spoils of War, etc.) should be kept out of Ranked Matches, and here's why. Such things could taint the game for competitive...

I always thought that Friend Mode should be more of a "Sandbox"

I think that only Major Items should be purchasable at the Market or with Renown, and consequently NOT subject to Spoils of War... on strength of the game right now is that you never lose anything...

Well, I'm no game designer, but... since we're talking magic items here, an archer (for instance) wouldn't need a shield and wouldn't actually "bash" her target. Maybe it's an enchanted arrow, so the...

Well, one variation on The Horn could replace a temporary Strength boost for Willpower... not sure how an Armor boost would work. I honestly can't think of others at the moment, but I'm sure there...

I have no idea if this is something that could reasonably be implemented, but I had a few thoughts regarding Items...

First, I would differentiate between Major and Minor Items.

Major Items...

I was thinking about how Stoic has said that they might introduce the AI combat into Factions with the Dredge as the opposition. I think a cool way to do that, and tie Factions and the Saga together,...

Random suggestion from out of the blue... I'm a member of the SCA, which does Mideaval Recreation including tournament combat. In the Kingdom I am part of, they generally use a double-elimination...

They've also said that, unlike in Factions, wounded units in the SP will not automatically heal to full-strength between battles. That should keep the thrill in the battles even without perma-death.

I've lost track of the thread where I heard this, but apparently every Varl was created by the actions of one of the Gods, which explains why they are all male. This makes sense in the context of...

Is there a Renown bonus (along the lines of the Daily Streak bonus) for Tournament games played? If there was, you'd at least have a chance to re-earn your entrance fee, win or lose.

I don't know if there are plans for this, or if it fits with the lore of The Banner Saga world, but it occurred to me that Skinchangers (i.e., Shapeshifters) of some kind might be interesting...

But they have said that damage (Armor/Strength) taken in combat will be persistent, meaning you could find yourself faced either fielding wounded units or avoiding a combat altogether; either of...

Here's another idea... Right now there are only two types of unit available in the Meadhall; raw recruits who have 0 kills, and experienced fighters with full kill-counts (costing 10 and 50 renown,...

How about this for an "Achievement":

Craven: Surrender five matches

:)

It figures... The first time I'm able to connect with a friend in the game, and Friend Mode is down. No worries, though... I understand things are in flux at the moment.

I was wondering about the Underdog bonus... is it a set amount regardless of the power difference between the participants? Would it be possible to make it a sliding scale, so the more outclassed you...

What if crossing the embers forced a unit to end its turn (like RoA) and snuffed the embers?

I haven't played in a while, and only once against a (single) Warleader. I haven't used one yet, myself...

But it occurred to me after reading this thread, would it be feasible to have Forge Ahead...

How about instead of Willpower, the remaining units facing the last-man-standing regain Strength? That could reduce the single unit's ability to do massive hits and put the attackers on a more even...

I wonder if it could be a software conflict/incompatibility?

Also, I had an issue way back at the beginning of the beta with downloading/installing through a router... I had to bypass the router...

I should preface my further comments by saying I've only played one game since Pillage was added, and I don't play a lot of games in general. And I don't win a lot, but I've managed to keep most of...

Is this what I had happen, where it got stuck on the loading screen? Tried twice tonight, but no luck.

*snicker* Frontbiter *snicker*

Seriously, though, I'm sure there are ways such a unit could be differentiated. Without Move-Through, but slightly longer range on the charge they could be good...

Maybe a special ability where the unit does a charge attack by first throwing an axe at the target and following up with a melee attack. Make the thrown axe deal armor damage and the follow-up do...
