Power-ups

[whoisyourdaddy]

Hey, new to the forum here (been playing AOS for awhile already though). So i was thing of creating a RPG map for AOF but i realized i didnt have any reward to offer for killing stuff which led me to the idea of power-ups. Basically power-ups are items on the ground that offer bonuses to any unit that picks it up. Examples:

Essence of agility:
A unit that picks it up gains +1 movement square for 3 turns (or permanently, we could implement both permanent and temporary power-ups if possible)

Essence of rage:
A unit that picks it up gains +2 attack power [for 3 turns](temporary/permanent)

Essence of defence:
A unit that picks it up gains +1 armor [for 3 turns]

So basically any unit that steps on a square with a essence on it becomes a "level-up" version of the orignal unit. This creates ideas for new maps e.g 1 powered-up unit vs a whole army or more strategic options. Also these essences can be created by any race by

Alchemy Lab (structure, 5 turns to build)
Creates essences that randomly drop around this building and can be picked up by any unit (essences produced are only temporary and take 2 turns to create)

Interested in knowing what the devs think of this idea since i would really like for this to be implemented. It can create lots of new strategy oppurtunities imo

sounds nice to me specially for campaign maps (not on random and multiplayer maps)
