So, not sure how hard this would be to do or if anyone else would be interested in such a thing (or if the idea has been suggested before), but heres my idea: What if you could increase the number of Guards each player controls in a single player (or perhaps multiplayer) game?

Through team games you get some of the cool combinations that are possible through having more guards, but this would be different since its each player commanding an army of 3+ guards instead of just 2. It would also be very different since there would still be only 1 Mage per player. I think it would make for a pretty interesting game as there would be many more options, but it might also make the game very long (perhaps only have feature for single player). There are obviously some problems with the idea (player X has bought extra packs and tricks player Y so that he has more guards in play in the game) but there would no doubt be ways to prevent this.

Anyway, thought I'd just throw the idea out there and see what others think. The game is very good as it is, and there are plenty of options with 1 Mage and two Guards out there for single player. However, I thought it might be interesting for there to be Epic two player 1v1 games where you command an army of say 5 guards each along with your Mage. I like giant chaotic battles with lots of bodies, but I also like to have personal control over lots of bodies (which is why this would be different then a team game). Hmm, so what do you think? Is this an interesting Idea of should I just go and Buy the summoner if I want  control over more bodies?

Just letting everyone know, Im going to be away for awhile (a few weeks or so, depending). Not really sure when Ill be somewhere where I have internet again. Love the game, enjoyed playing with you all and hope to see you around in the future. Hopefully when Im back, HM will have won the indipub contest, Ill have a Mino, and there will be all sorts of exciting new features. Perhaps Ill be able to check in on the forums now and then....

May the Dice Lords smile upon your rolls.

If you ever played Worms World Party, you know that after every game they had a list of "Awards" listing some interesting IF pointless information about what exactly each Unit did in the game. For example, there was the "Most damage done" and "Most damage taken" awards, which could actually be interesting and helpful to know. There were also some pointless but funny awards given to units that were particularly useless in a game or that didn't do much, like the "No Shots Fired" Award and the "Traitor" award.

Would it be possible to make such lists/reports for Hero Mages? It may not really affect the game at all, but it would be A). Interesting to Note what units of yours are doing what and how they are contributing and B). Hilarious to see some humors awards...

For example: Pansy Award-Given to a unit that takes no damage during an entire game
                    Cross Country award-Given to unit that sprints the most in a game
                    "Whiffer" of the round award-given to unit that missed the most in a game

And many more. Again, pointless but fun awards. There could also be useful awards that tell what unit did the most damage, rolled the most hits, earned the most valor, Killed the most enemy units...things like that. Again, not really needed, but something interesting to look at after the game is done...A kind of "Battle Summary". It could be as simple or as complicated as one wanted it to be.

What do you people think? Interesting Idea or needless complication?
