Sovereign trees.

from Stardock Forums

While I do like the controlled levelling with LH, it is quite boring. And that sovereigns share XP makes me not even consider playing anything else than Men, for the henchmen.

The problem, as I see it, is that most trees have goodies at the *END* of trees which you may or may not want to pass through. I suggest revamping all of this, so that no branches are put after a multilevel skill.

For the defender, a lot of levels are plainly wasted trying to get to stun. I think you guys need to rethink trait picking entirely. I suggest a level based tiering system. The current system, while I love how it is controllable, is a little more boring. Before I could avoid picking all the junk. Now I have to grind extra levels to get what I want.

Perhaps it is just me being a min-max'er.

I thought Sovereigns and heros did NOT share XP any more? Did I misunderstand? (Ah, OK I noticed the post on it now. Yes, they still do split. That changes how I should be playing a lot).

What I have noticed is that 'Men' are awesome empire builders, as the only race that can have henchmen, they can build unlimited numbers (well, limited by Fame) of excellent henchmen governors, each of which can reduce unrest by 40%. No other race can so easily pacify the map.

Which brings me to another point. If you make most your cities with high food into forts... you can reduce empire unrest by 40% for ALL cities fast. You don't even need henchmen governors. A lot of new exciting things in LH, but they are barely scratching the top off the things they CAN do.

the problem with defender is that it's like a really bad warrior. Guard and rescue are pretty cool but everything else is fairly bland, until you get to the end game stuff. Guardian dodge should be removed for +Defense. I think the guardian needs more ways to protect his army than he currently has.

Really bad? Once your guys has enough defense, you can auto-battle yourself to victory.
