What you could add/change

[Alsharys]

Hello everyone.
I hope I am in the good spot to make such a post.

First I'd like to salute the entire team for releasing such a good game.
I already played dozens of hours.
Here's a list of what might need to be changed and a list of what may be added (I pray for that!)

What needs to be changed :
-Kastelan robots are way too powerful. They deal great damage and have a great armor. The armor should be lowered a bit, since it's a single unit and not a squad, firepower can't be reduced by killing a member.
-I don't get why when I finish a quest, the next act appears like randomly. Like for example the IG appearing in orks campaign, or the enslavers assaulting the IG bases... It almost ruined my game because I had no way to know when and where they will appear. Maybe I am missing something. If not maybe a turn counter could be added, and the quests with could be a little easier, because with the firepower required all IA could be wiped out easily, so what's the point in doing campaign?

What I'd like to see :
-For Khaine's sake bring the eldar. My most favourite race .
-A world conquest map, like the war for the ring in battle for middle earth.
-Alternative quests just to get some rewards throughout a game.
-Make subfactions (like chapters for SM) for every race with advantages/disadvantages...

-Kastelan robots are way too powerful.

Not way too, maybe a little. At least I prefer them as neibourgh than the scorpions..

-quest almost ruined my game, with the firepower required, all IAs could be wiped out easily, so what's the point in doing campaign?

Yeah.

-bring the eldar

Waiting for Chaos Marines.
Waiting too for bayonets to be researched (for SM, as Chaos may have them by default). I liked them, playing Blood Angel SM in old Space Crusade boardgame. Gretchin skewers!

-Make subfactions with advantages/disadvantages.

You are supposed to build them yourself, using the research and production.

I just want Tyranids... ^^

[Alsharys]

I ll trade any Kastelan for a scorpion, any time ^^.

I know, but I feel like it's not enough. I don't ask much but just some little changes, for strategy and for immersion.

if I could add anything it would be this faction as I think it would be very interesting. I Don't have a complete idea of how it would work but this is my rendition.
the only thing I know is I would not want it to be a very large force stuck to a few cites or a city like the space marines and many out posts that expanded a few hexes. the outpost would provide repair posts and all buildings would be built by the saristan's similar to the techprest for imperial guard. the main structure would be made of a drop keep and expand out ward with research you could build a few more but not many (cost prohibitive would be best the way I go about it I think) and every unit would be expensive to build so at turn 200 you should only have about 20 of them.

I would add a diplomacy function. A minimal one. It is not unheard of for temporary alliances. Obviously they don't last. No diplomacy victory unless it's for the Tau race added later on. But a minimal diplomacy function would be nice.

More quests.

They last at least for a battle. So you have already a very basic diplomacy: you set the sides before the battle.

Suggestion ^^
I think that AM city is not unique at all. Edict system is smth generic for all Imperium factions. As for me - i think that AM should represent restoration of the world. Its easy to build some bunkers for your infantry, but what about manufactorum or void-port? I guess it may be good to lock this buildings to the titles with imperial ruins. I.e. - AM will need to stick to the restoration of the world from ruins, giving more sence for imperial ruins all over gladius.

Swap Units
The ablity to swap 2 unit positions without having to go via an empty square! This will make army positioning much easier.

Transports
Getting units accross the map can be tedious. There are flying transports so why not basic ground transports that unlock early/mid game.
EG. Rhino & Chimera transports.

Quest Triggers
I think allot of players just plough through the fairly easy starter quests, then get dumped into The Invasion and final quest with the horde of robots way before they are ready for them. These quests should either be limited by turn timer, the last quest could only trigger once all other players are wiped out - making it an end game mission. We all love a few extra turns after all.

Propper Drop pods
Space marine units should deploy from drop pods anywhere you can see on the map. You have to pay requisition for them to come in from orbit so this seems to make sense.
