Are you talking about slow/poison only or is really "all the balancing effort" lost for some reason I don't see? > I think it would be better for units to > always do damage, but with weak hits and critical hits.

The critical hits that can apply abilities (you are still talking about slow and poison, right?) is a good idea to balance the abilities, but giving the damage always is much to radical for my taste. I like Wesnoth's luck system and don't want to remove it completely.
Another way to balance poison and slow would be to reduce their affect accordingly to their increased occurrence. > The slider would then decide how damage is split between > weak and critical hits.

Can we implement both systems and see which one gives better results and is liked more then see which one makes it or find a mixture between them both? _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
