Keep simple houses.. raise more pop limit via upgrades. simple right?

[Dragon451]

This thread is still going? Wow....Well, what about keeping houses as they are now, but adding a spell that replaces the house with a similar unit with no model? No more lag from screens full of houses in laggy games, and we get to keep our futuristic house model if we want it.

[Annonie]

Wouldn't that make them too easy to hide from enemies? If they could still be attacked at all. Or difficult to repair? It seems a simple thing, just increase house costs and increase pop limit, either the one the houses give you from the beginning or the one the upgrades improve.

Of course you could just *cough* make smaller populations give you better income. Either allow taxes to start off higher or just plain give more cash from the existing population. Ne?

BUT BUT BUT

then the game would end under 2 hours we cant have that happen!!

Not really. If you've ever played Genesis of Empires 1, my idea would be like the roads. Of course, now that I think about it, just having the option to give it a simple placeholder model such as the circle of power would work as well, but that is a fair amount of work. Nevermind, it probably isn't worth it.

He's being logical when it deals to making houses gigantic, but I don't like bulky things. Especially when those bulky things don't look orderly size comparison to the objects around them. The houses are an eye soar, when I look at my town hall (and no if you're thinking of zoom).

But anyhow, there were many ways you could've solved this:
(x)-Make houses larger to take more space
-Lower the population that houses supply
-Lower the house's armor and health
-Make houses more susceptible to fires
-Make plagues and population drops bigger
-Harder to make populations happy
-Make Housing capacity research 5% instead of 10%
-Change of terrain to prevent over advantages

7.3 seemed me as the perfect version. There were a couple of bugs, but it was the perfect version.

nice to read that asakari, and id have to agree when it comes to empire. heroes could use some balancing, though and indeed; a couple more bugs

Im going to say no
1. the houses are fine about the size and how many people they hold in them
2.I'm not going to check on my houses every 10 seconds to see if a fire killed them all.
3. Fire already kill the last building in ten seconds no need to make it faster
4. The terrain is fine and Final did a wonderful job making it. If the retard noob wants to build in the center where there is no protection thats his fault. On the harder levels you need the terrain to help you win.
5. Heroes and Empires is already a two hour long game I DO NOT want to play a three hour game or longer kk thanks
