Posts from ASW – Alternative hero leveling. Auto-translated

How long does it take to instill the idea that the "General balance" in your system is already being distorted by definition? If you are running away from changes to the General balance, then nothing should be changed in the system.

Too much fantasy (what I'm considering and what I would break), too few arguments. City classes help in supporting spell upgrades (if we're talking about the starting city), but their influence is much less (simply because the starting city is not the only object on the map). In the end, create a topic about city classes (but first, make sure it's technically feasible), and we'll talk about it there.

And regarding the fact that city classes apply to all cities, what difference does it make, from the point of view of obtaining spells, whether we encounter a new class-based Inferno with Darkness + Light on the map, or an old Castle with Darkness + Light?

Don’t you remember that I said the balance evens out in the end? I said it even with the NHF mod.

o_O You won’t encounter both of them at the same time! And there’s also a cunning mentor who can completely retrain a hero into a different school, and the spells will be right there. + It’s better to develop a second native city than a non-native one, even if it means building a guild.

Actually, I think we've already discussed the issues related specifically to upgrading, and now it's just going off-topic.
Will you give the Elf an increased summoning ability? Okay.
Will you give perks for obtaining free summoning spells outside of summoning (phantom)? No.
Will you give Elves wasps/a hive without summoning? Also no.

So why are you telling me that Summoning is bad for the Elf because it enhances it?

I don't understand. Explain the difference between your new class-based Inferno (Darkness + Light) and the old, good Castle (without using your classes).

Why both at once? In one case (without your mod for city classes), I'll encounter a Castle. In the other case (with your classes), I'll encounter an Inferno with Light on the map. What's the difference, what's the point?

P.S. We've been on "you" terms for a while, or do you prefer a formal style?

And am I right in assuming that city classes are now part of the ASW theme? You're the author, you decide.

These are just malicious speculations for now, inspired by the "summoned stone elemental."

Because the fix should only affect the theme of this mod. And it's impossible without external changes.

Do you know the difference between a second native city and a second non-native city?

I've already explained this in the suggestion below. In my opinion, this is an insignificant difference due to the rarity of the situation. If the game is played with 2 cities, then the chance is 1/8 x 1/2 (if there are 2 classes) = 6%. If there are more cities, nothing prevents you from developing the native city into troops and the non-native city into a guild.

1) Other towns won't appear early, and magic is needed (or there are very few such maps).

2) Cumulative buildings? Is an army from the second home town not important? The guild can help raise the level of the second town if needed.

If there are more towns, nothing prevents you from developing the home town into troops and the non-home town into a guild.

That's an interesting point of view – hero classes are a good thing (despite the game's RPG elements), while city classes are even better. Although, in essence, both serve the same purpose – supporting a larger number of effective upgrades for each race (in the first case, through stats and chances, and in the second, through spells).

It depends on the map. I prefer maps like those in Heroes 3, where there are already places to expand to in the first week. Or do you only envision one type of map, with completely blocked passages and staying in the starting zone? On closed maps, the role of the starting guild is more important, which is understandable.

I agree about leveling up. Regarding the army from the second native city – read the previous post carefully, specifically:

What prevents developing an army in both?

Most maps have difficult access to the second city.

I don't care about this majority, because I simply don't play on such boring maps. Of course, this is a subjective point of view, as is any opinion.

Well, here's where the avatar comes in handy.

It's been said many times why this is inappropriate.

What's inappropriate? On one type of map, your town classes will play as you intended. On another, they won't play at all, or almost not. Is this an inappropriate argument?

The same can be said about your changes to the schools for each race. You're sabotaging yourself.

Come on. The Elf Summoning spell works on any map. You yourself wrote that this is its enhancement.

1) A very rare map must appear;

4) This city must be captured before the third week, and already with a built guild, that is, even earlier;

2) That second city, which will have the necessary rare magic, must appear;

5) The main character will return to the second city and take this magic;

And even if this coincides, will it be worse?

Well, it's a city class with summoning. What's the difference?
