[Suggestion] Commander Path Unrest Reduction & Bonuses Per "x" Levels

from Elemental Forums

Commander Path Bonus: -5% Global Unrest (btw: how about some stat increase per x levels for each different path?  maybe -1% Global Unrest per level for Commander Path or a Commander Sub-Trait)

 

How about a Campaigner line of Traits? (I think this matches a Commander who is good at unrest reduction re: keeping order, and money injections, but if you have a better name go for it!)

Campaigner 1: Cumulative -3% Global Unrest, One off bonus of 25 gildar.

Campaigner 2: Cumulative -3% Global Unrest, One off bonus of 50 gildar.

Campaigner 3: Cumulative -3% Global Unrest, One off bonus of 100 gildar.

Campaigner 4: Cumulative -3% Global Unrest, One off bonus of 200 gildar.

Campaigner 5: Cumulative -3% Global Unrest, One off bonus of 350 gildar.

 

Adjust the numbers as you see fit, but I think -5% Global Unrest for the Commander path and a cumulative -3% Global Unrest per level of Campaigner (or whatever the trait line is called).  If you wanted, you could have a Gold Rush skill after Campaigner 5 (or at the end of the Gildar income trait path if not there already) that just provides a big one-off bonus of Gildar without any unrest reduction.  Maybe call it Benefactor?

And I would strongly that each Path has its own stat bonus for different stat/s per x or y levels, or have some sub-Paths that provide a specialisation stat bonus per x or y levels (if you didn't want all Champions from the same Path to have the same instrinsic per x or y levels bonus).

What do you think?

EDIT: I agree with the suggestion to balance the unrest reduction based on map size.

I like global unrest reduction over local unrest reduction actually, makes keeping the champion on the frontlines gaining experience viable.

Yes, this was a big part of my reasoning.  If they don't want to give more experience to Champions for sitting in a city, I think it's better that they give a global unrest reduction that's smaller than the 1 city reductions currently (but could add up to a lot more with multiple cities).

with the current 2% unrest per city, that guy alone would basically remove the extra unrest of 10 cities. that's a pretty strong upgrade line you suggest there. i think it would be a very solid choice especially for large/huge maps - i'd probably make my first hero a commander by default, and possibly also the sovereign. especially for factions like gilden or yithril that have some really powerful trained troops a high level commander that boosts his elite stack and occasionally picks some global unrest reduction sounds like a good plan.

the changelog for 0.52 suggests that the stat perks are being "condensed" a bit, so realistically it would be more like 3 tiers instead of 5 so you could still pick some of the more active/fun picks.

if the commander gets some fun choices (command was a good start but there's certainly room for several more active spells) it may actually end up becoming my favorite path.

The recommendation could be scaled depending on map size.

and on that note, probably everything dealing with unrest should be scaled depending on the map size.
