The faiths should play a more important role

[cryingcat]

It would be nice that the faith choice be meaning something more than just different faith troops. And the faith troops should have some area effects on homeland soldiers around them, because they are supposed to represent whatever the homeland people worship. What I have in mind is like this:

The One = homeland soldiers around faith troops get strength bonus
Old Gods = ...life bonus/slow regeneration
The Void = ...damage bonus/agility bonus
Enlightenment = ...speed bonus/Proficiency bonus
Natural Philosophy = Ability to use artillery in battle...or something not so complicated...

Just some ramdon ideas. Sorry for bad English.

Well, depending on the faith, some have very powerful troops. Perhaps more faith troops? Like, add in another tier.
Health Regen and bonuses would be bad though, imho, theyre not SoD like.

My wish is to somehow emphasis the leader role of faith troops in the army.

A devoted crusader should  fight more heroic when alongside a missionary that's all I want to say.

I agree with you.
You can build buildings for faith, but you can only get 1 kind of faith troop while you're playing.
There should be more possibilities.

But I like your idea's, perhaps you could work that out a little bit more?

Grtz.

I would but:
1. I don't have the source code
2. SoD is THE most sophisticated MB mod I ever play, I really admire the team and question my ability on following their work

Maybe I should start a mod myself after my dissertation done...

i really agree on your idea, faith is something that keeps people going, and indeed these faith troops should be exactly the heroes the normal people need to have just that little bit more.
Morale bonus or something with teamwork / faith specific strategy?

 

[aequo animo]

Hmm I like the idea of giving Faith Troops a more important role especially in the beginning when you have only a few, perhaps something with Moral? I mean maybe Faith troops could somehow boost the Moral in Battle or stop troops from retreating.
