Introducing Regiment Training

I like this new thing but now I’ll have to go and pay Hellion a ton of money to see how I fair with Tier 3 stuff…

I always wondered why there wasn't a penalty outside of costing potch to change regimental units. It's a nice addition and something to make people stay in their chosen regiment instead of constantly changing to suit whatever upcoming battle phase is coming up.

Sweet. I really like this feature!

It's good to have an incentive for regiments not to switch all the time, of course. And it's also awesome that this exists so that people who don't post as much can get a little bit better at their regiments without having to become posting monsters on the board, too.

I would be excited except for that in 5 months, I could be fighting pirates with over 130 leadership.

This is a great feature, but I fear some of the NPCs with special regiments that people don't change will become quite powerful.

NPCs don't tend to change regiment types it's true but no one is forcing normal users to have their regiments changed either, it's a decision nations now have to weigh up as to whether the training that a person currently has is worth trading away for a short term loss in training and a long term gain in the person's usefulness. I really like this change which is strange for me because I always seem to dislike the new things the Vextor adds for the first week of it then warm to them.

The only thing I'd suggest is that perhaps some regiments should be easier to master, ie. the tier 1 regiments. It already takes a long time for new users to be useful so if tier one regiments developed faster it may help new members become involved in the games more quickly and keep their interest up in the site. That would be a good thing in my opinion.

A very nice idea indeed! This forum keeps becoming more and more interesting ^^

I'd do that if I know how. Well, it's probably possible but the coding will be way too complicated. Also, tier 1 regiments are no "weak" either-- they can be just as effective if used correctly, and many "special" regiments are weak towards tier 1 regiments... so I don't really see the justification that tier 1 regiments should be eaiser to master.

That's reasonable I didn't know the constraints of coding such a thing at all and I wouldn't like to force lots of work on you anyway. I realise tier 1 has it's advantages however my thought process was most older folk aren't using tier one regiments any more and that it tends to be the domain of the newer members until they reach their five victories, I thought it would be a good way to help the very new get involved a bit quicker. Your reasoning not to do so is good enough for me anyway. Thanks for explaining.

...UH?!

This is indeed very nice. But it sucks that we can't pull the same thing that we did in phase 13 in Lion's Maw anymore. =/

If I were you, mercs, I'd coordinate something so that you aren't all the same regiment (Rangers) in order to increase your chance of being hired.

I like this feature, as well.
Perhaps persistance does pay off afterall. ^^

Nice addition!

Or indeed Grassland just did to Jowston at Greenhill.

I have a concern - some regiments (such as Pirates) seem to enjoy an inflated LDR ratio per point of attribute than most other regiments.

Because their LDR ratio is higher it reasons out that a bonus based on only on % will also be higher - so it will work out that higher LDR regiments will have greater bonuses.

A potential way around this would be to give fixed increase per % point. I guess you've already written the code though so you won't want to be changing it so soon!

Most pirate NPCs have stats that are optimal for their regiment type, which results in their high LDR. It's not some sort of thing that's local to the pirate regiment type per se. I don't see a problem.

Edit: Also, this feature won't be affecting war results for phase 14 either, so don't panic.
