Horror Reward System

[Maltrease]

I also like Uh-Nu-Buh's ideas. The Doom horrors are so powerful it just screams out that achieving mastery over them should be worth something.

I wouldn't even mind if things like body guards didn't appear to help you, or the Horror always targeted the commander (if it could reach them) regardless of what other chaff is available. That would keep the wrath crown and some simple magic from being able to take out the horror.

Well I believe the developers are on vacation right now, but hopefully with the next patch one of our suggestions or some other feature reward will be added for those commanders which win these doom horrors.

What if

- every unit started with a base reputation/fame value

- when you killed a unit in battle, you gained reputation proportionate -- quite a bit if the loser had equal or higher rep than the winner, less otherwise

- when you died in battle, you lost the same amount of reputation that the victor gained

- reputation bonus for winning the Deathmatch

And that would be used for the HoF, instead of pure kill count. If the HoH has been killing powerful heroes who've slain many, its reputation will be high, and he who kills it next will gain correspondingly.

Just wanted to point out that it isn't pure kill count, its 2*kill count + experience points
(At least that's what I understand from empirical testing)

There's also a 25 "hero point" bonus for each time you've died I believe.

What I meant was that kills are counted equally as it is -- so somebody who kills chaff is quite possibly more famous than somebody who runs around slaying powerful heroes.

On a tangent, does the 'Vengeance of the Dead grows exponentially stronger with repeated casts' still exist? VotD kills probably shouldn't count... unless the dead are supposed to become more vengeful every time you kill their shades.

Maybe their buddies in the underworld come along to help them get some vengance?
