As title states, there are just some blessings from Legends Awaken (Kastor story mode) that essentially locks you out of 2-3 slots most games.
Ptah’s Secret Tools and Freyr’s Chosen Few, especially on standard and for the most part lightning, just gets you so powerful so quick, that no other blessing, that isnt a really powerful blue or epic quality blessing, is usable. The early game advantage is huge, and that just carries you through the entire match. Thats 2 slots, that are essentially gone and unusable.
Another blessing that usually takes your 3rd spot, at least until blue or epic blessings, is Loki’s Serpentine Wrath. A free nidhog when you reach mythic age. It’s such a power house and not all Pantheons have an easy way to deal with it. That one, combined with your Legend, is so much power. Further, combined with Ptah’s and Freyr’s Chosen Few, will get you into that mythic age very early. it’s a free win most of the time.
That’s 3/3 blessings, that are locked out for most games, except for deathmatch, which thankfully, feels a lot more open for choice of blessings.
In standard or lightning, no white or green blessing is ever useable. Rarely, you will see a great blue or epic, that gives cav or infantry aoe, or buffs your myth units by a decent bit. But those are pretty rare to find. Most of them aren’t going to make up for the extreme early power scaling. You only get 1 divine, and thats sometimes just goats or stronger workers, which again, unusable in comparison.
So you end up, using the same 2-3 blessings throughout your whole run, with deathmatch being the only exception. That’s incredibly boring. I don’t want them nerfed, I’d much rather have 4 or 5 slots open for blessings. I want the early blessings to mean something. Atm., theyre completely useless, if youve done Kastors campaign, which feels like a big flaw.
Deathmatch is the only mode, that really lets you use a bigger variety of blessings.
Please allow for more blessings to be used. Balance things accordingly, or add a higher difficult or something if you must. But atm, it’s just not very fun only using the same ones. Let me have fun.
Thank you
