Dear forumers
As you know the game is undergoing a big amount of changes and, even though we are getting more and more satisfied with the results we're attaining, we are also recognizing an increasing degree of complexity in the game itself.
Achieving balance between races - at the moment between the 4 original ones - is not an easy task if we also want to keep their own uniqueness and to reach such a goal we are giving every army more and more options, often in the form of new spells, abilities and techs and, as we also could notice by reading the posts of some new members, it is not always easy for a player to tell what unit or spell should be used in which situation.
Some races, like orcs and humans, are definitely easier to play as their strengths are visible at first sight but those races who rely on spells or specific tactics (for example the corpses economy for undeads and their reanimation techs) are less immediate and could require some guides to start mastering that gameplay.
In similar situations we are feeling that some race specific tutorials are definitely needed and thus we might benefit from the help of experienced players that are used to the map maker (or that are willing to learn how to use it) to create those maps.
I think we might start by making some tutorials that explain how the various races upgrade their units (for example the requirements needed to upgrade human and orcish units and the structure of elven techs) and next some guides that are specific for the various spellcasters and units with active abilities. About those spells and abilities you might have already noticed that we are adding tiers and techs specific for spellcasters and in the next versions we'll also remake most of the spells and thus we could make a good service to new players by explaining them both how caster upgrades works and what are the detailed effects of the spells.
I hope we can have your support and we thank you in advance
