Human Race Paladin Cost

U8 brought up an interesting statement in the other thread about units equaling other units because they are the same in stats/damage/effectiveness.

Regarding the 100 gold cheaper option: basically you would need to make 19 paladins AFTER the paladin upgrade is complete to start getting a slight edge in numbers. Still, it will encourage paladin usage.

We will just stick to paladins for now because knights and ogres are the same.  Power spiking at keep would be another poll. I appreciate the numbers Lone.

If knights were made stronger, then they would need to cost more for their tier 2 advantage, if left as is , then a short decrease in gold isn't a bad idea when they become paladins.

I think it's a good idea, but still hard to perfectly balance. For me humans are water map/early game race. You can rush harder because almost no lumber needed for upgrades. Bb It yeah making paladins cheaper could help a little bit. We must test it in games.

Yeah I agree. Just taking baby steps here.  Lone did some math and shows it was 19 paladins created before it evens out.  Ogre mages will still be more powerful and cost effective but this would increase the opportunity to select a paladin for efficiency.

Sounds not bad, but still not solving the first wave advantage.
But in even later game it evens a little bit the situation. Of you make it cheaper then it will make too big difference later...

Uhm,  you can already do this with the map editor.  You can also do this with Wargus.  There is absolutely NO need to change any of it.  If you want a map with knights that cost less,  make a map where that is the case and actually test it out.  But the idea of changing their values in the game engine,  no.  Absolutely no need for any of that.
Dk At hall is cause I started with temple at start and didn't need the castle . Not a hack .  I wouldn't bother editing a ss btw

^---- Dellam doesnt hack!  See, even by his own admission, no hack!!  LMFAO.

Lance you actually can’t do that with a map like gow unless you use use map settings which is fixed order.  Ill send you the map, if you can make a paladin cost 700 on tvb or melee, I’ll drop the poll.
