And now you can start with almost any race units then training limitations make no sense for only human army any more


Well there goes my idea, back to the drawing board

I hear you - it is quite limiting. I was going to add the capability of the enemy human units to have these abilities later in the game (my "in theory"), but the Knight Circle Attack caused the game to crash when the AI used it. If I'm not mistaken, there was a similar problem in either AP or CW. I just didn't have a chance to go back and revisit it and see how it was fixed in AP/CW.

So you can have them in all slots not just 2 type of slots in hero inventory. As you plan it now warrior will be at most disadvantage, and mage will be able to carry with Elenhel 6 tomes (artifact, belt/artifact , shield/artifact , regalia/artifact and 2 in Elenhel). Or best to make it as metamorphic axel, all tomes same (since kids in KB-tL didnt choose where to appear, just show up on random wife slot and that was it)?

This is certainly under consideration, so I may make them Regalia / Artifact / Shield or metamorphic like you mention and I mentioned previously. We'll just have to see. I'm not sure if I want you to be able to equip all your item slots with them as you'll probably be very powerful. So rather, I'll probably revisit the hero and companion item slots and adjust them so that you can equip 5 total tomes. Unless I miscounted, I thought Mage + Elenhel was 5 total Regalia / Artifact slots.

The general idea, though, is to make it as fair as possible for all hero class / companion combinations so you can equip 4-5 items.

We'll see how it goes...
