Ya. Diploma is already op with general.

It looks like you edited your list since what other people are saying don't match up to what is on it now. Have you ever glanced at the balance patches? This game has been fine-tuned over the course of its entire lifetime. Many things you suggested have been tried before and been physically proven that they don't work such as:

• The thief did steal 20% until Build 244
• Additionally, Build 244 removed the nav's speed penalty given to it in Build 216

On my own personal opinion, here are a few other things I don't agree with:

WAAAAAY too powerful, completely makes hiring a hypnotist useless if the opponent hires a diplomat, and there is no reason to ever hire more than 1 diplomat.

bleatingsheep39 wrote:Revered Elder: No other specialists participate in combats involving you within his range, which would be the same as an outpost's sonar range.

I feel like this kills the main uses of the revered elder. It prevents him from being good defensively since he cancels out all of your other defensive specialists. Additionally, he would be do nothing in sub to sub combat (assuming he works identically to the current diplomat) so certain set ups like having a nav + queen + revered elder for safety would no longer work.


I don't necessarily agree or disagree with everything else on your list, these are just the ones I feel like were worth saying something about.

Sorry, I think I got the Elder across wrong. It prevents all enemy specs. My bad. Also, other forumers such as Nojo have said the truth. The thief is underpowered, that's why I boosted it to 20%.

As for the nav speed penalty, people also say the nav is OP. I mean, everyone who agrees with me here simply haven't been posting here lately.

I agree with you, and I'm posting here.
