Leftover Pretender Points

[HoneyBadger]

Just remember, it's not 15-20 extra hp on JUST a master lich, it's 15-20 extra hp on a master lich Pretender. I'm of the theory that your Pretender should be one of-if not the most-potentially powerful units you ever have access to in the game. If it were 15-20 extra hp on 30 units, like you'd get by buying 15-20 extra units with gold, it'd be much more of a problem than on just your Pretender.

There is a programming mechanics problem with adding leftover design points as hit points to pretenders , because at the end of the day, the pretender is a basic monster of its type (e.g. master lich is #180, master lich, not #xyz, master lich with +<leftover designb points> hp).

Well, IIRC Wish can increase the stats of your pretender, all you have to do is construct a similar mechanism.

I'd like to spend some of those points on gems. there should be a way to use those leftovers like in Stars!(one of my old favorites).

As I see it it can't be any permanent change, just something to help out on the first few turns. I'd say x2-x3 gold(capped at 50 points), extra troops of the nations starter variety up to the cost in resources equal to leftover points(1 minimum, capped at 50), 1-1 of random gems, or maybe some basic magic items of the first tier of construction(their gem cost determines how many per points and they are randomly selected).

Cap it at 39 points. You can spend 40 points on another scale. That would help keep it as just a way to use leftover points.

How about each leftover point equals 1 turn until you have a cataclysmically bad luck event in your home province?

each left over point could be an extra 2 gold... small gold reward to prevent abusing the left over points.
