> Make the revive cost 0 at the begining of the game.
> It is not funny to go and die at level 3 and wait unit you have 450 gold... when you only have 200.
Upcoming feature:
You'll get the Gold much faster while still level 3 then being level 10.

Thanks.

Oh yes, indeed
> I actually got more the impression that I was playing a blood map more than an AoS.
That may well be so, yes
Although I thought that "AoS" meant you control a handful or less units,
and the comp does the rest...
Well
> The AoS factor mainly stemming from the fact that I had to buy the units I wanted to control.
Although this sorta happens in ever map...

It is already.

I noticed.

Yes. Without a player, this will take... a veeeery loooooong time...

Sounds good to me

Difficult to say...
But there are some changes coming up.

It's much less random than you think.
But, yes, I do see how that might be confusing...
There's some change there too coming up, which takes some random out of it.

Works as designed.
There's "Cheese" too
> And mask of death, ankhs, etc. are pretty abusive and reward luck to the first person that can grab them.
You got a Mask of Death?
Impossible!
While you might end up with one, it, supposedly, takes "for ever".
If you got one, may I ask as to how long you were playing?

Upcoming feature:
Hero cost set to 1000.
Tavern Heroes must be unique.
Pet Heroes get one ability (3 levels), one ultimate (1 level), and a 3 level attribute bonus.
Note to those that didn't notice yet:
Max Hero level is 15, max Pet level is 7.
> Those spirit towers are in some serious need of viagra (now I don't know WHY I thought that but there you go)
Spirit Towers shoot faster than an Ancient Protector.
A Protector does more damage...
But I'm going to run some test "damage over time", and adjust those settings.

Fixed.

Hm...
Who knows?

They do better than I thought they would, yes

That's a feature.

And there I was specifically putting it in so you have a chance to get some help
while that enemy army is in the middle of your town,
and you're on the other side of the map...

Indeed.

A lot? All!
The trigger will see some change though...
> The NE seem to have an advantage with the mountain giants, although I know you couldn't care less about balance.
The trees go faster with 2 or more NEs...
But, hm... they did seem like an interesting unit to have around.
Still, it's perfectly possible to win with any other race.
> Those heros that kept revivng in the center got really annoying.

Revival time adjusted.

12 seconds.
Ping added.
It's supposed to be total chaos. And you'll notice a lot of those items that seem to not do anything at all evolve when you pick something else up.
