just a thought, can we just drop that retaliation thing which indeed was mostly a trick than a real thing? I mean no retaliation for all units!

or can we put retaliation on all attacks? first attack 100% and for the rest 50%? or just 100% for all?

Well i would go for a middle option, because no retaliaton would make us lose the reality in this game. I would go for a 100% 1st attack then due to troops going tired(in real life) 2nd attack 75% 3rd, 4th etc 50%.

yes, i had toyed with the idea of permanent retals, rather than the once per turn we have now.

Instead we could just multiply it by 70% each time starting at 100%... eg.. 100%, 70%, 49%, 34.3%, 24%, etc...
at the start of next turn its back to 100%.

its not really anything to with the recent changes, but rather a whole new one. would it improve the combat? perhaps.

well with you willing to make some drastic troop changes, it would make the elite troops a lot better, so i think i like it

Requiem, the decreasing but still multiple retalliations sounds like it will be important to make the high-level troops more viable in campaigns. Cuz right now you can still hit a 10pop HC with a 10pop Spearman to absorb the retal, and then move in your other troops to do some real damage. This will cause some change in Battle tactics (to what extent I am unsure), but I think it is necessary for Campaigns.

P.S. As a side note, it should help Demons fare better against Medival/Barbs in battles. (If you're careful as Medi and have ranged, you can mess Demons up pretty bad in the current system if the map isn't too open). This change would also make Knights and Ranged more valuable b/c they don't take retal damage for the most part.

Are Marketplaces now redundant?

I've just returned after a forced absence and I see that markets have gone but I'm in the middle of two duels where I had built Market Places - do these buildings now have any purpose?

ict far more than the markets have changed, for the most part for better.

at this very second, no.

but I am in the process of adding a new use for them.
they will be able to sell your TRIBUTE (your score points) for Gold.

The more markets you have, the better the price.
