A Kill Counter

[Empress Matilda]

I think that suggestion might make Abnwtwtuds day if it was taken up.

I think that would work so long as the bonuses were there but somewhat minimal to prevent balance breaking.

Do they already have a morale mechanic?

Well it seems to me that the risk would be in over-specialization of an army if such a mechanic were in place. After all, if you've been fighting in Midgard for the first third of the game, maybe all of your units suddenly are only good at killing Trolls or Humans. Then you get to Jotunheim, and suddenly, giants. Not a bad idea overall, but seems like it could make units a bit too specialized.

But think of the decimation as your elfkiller elites carve their way through armies of elves. I really thought this would appeal to you.

In the example I was thinking of, the bonuses were, in fact, relatively small, generally similar to a single level of a skill (like +10% melee attack)

We need to get the anti elf-defamation league on this guy already

There needs to be a Elf-killer class for humans only.

More for Abnwtwtud only regardless of race. Still I reckon the best elfkiller would be another elf. After all who would suspect them? Hundreds of elves dead. Right, ban on other races entering Elf Central, but nobody would prevent the cunning if insane darkelf bent on self-genocide (is there such a thing?).

I like the way you think.

Instead, I'd like to open up a conversation that's not about gender or highly controversial topics.

Yes it is. GENOCIDE is a highly controversial topic.

GENOCIDE is not OK.

GENOCIDE is horrible to all who are involved.

The good people of this forum sit while this maniac makes his first moves. /s

Sir! I take offense! This is a thread solely about the possibility of a kill counter in a video game. Nothing sinister about that.

You can't deny it. You intend to GENOCIDE all the elves with the kill counter.

That's an outrageous accusation. As far as we're aware, they aren't even implementing a kill counter, much less the ability to use the kill counter as an attack.

How do you kill with a kill counter? Genuinely interested now.

The kill counter as an attack?? that seems very weird

You're the one who suggested it, so no argument here.

Didn't realise my mistake on my first post -should have read "You can't deny it. You intend to GENOCIDE all the elves and count them with the the kill counter."

Obviously wasn't thinking there
