Gameplay suggestion - Duels

March 13, 2013 8:43:33 AM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

To spice up Diplomacy and the course of wars...

What if you could have 1-on-1 duels with enemy sovereigns? The outcome of the duel would result in war continuing or ending, or even one sov surrending to the other.

You're winning the war, but the other sov is higher level? They challenge you to a all-or-nothing duel. You can decline, of course, and keep kicking their ass...but wouldn't you want to humiliate them? 

You can send a champion in your place, but then they would be subject to perma-death...

There were duels in Romance of 3 Kingdoms games from KOEI, I think, but only as a tactical action in battles.

I can't imagine an implementation in FE that would not lead to abuse, especially against the AI.

imo this would require a re-balancing of the champion paths. with the current implementation, you could simply build an assassin with executioner perks (extra damage vs. champions) and some dodge/crit/armor ignore and roflstomp the other sov. i don't think that's a good addition to the game.

Azunai- That's why duels would be optional. You can just turn down a duel if you know you're up against a high-level assassin. 

Also, a well-built mage could kill an ill-prepared assassin with one flame dart.

The computer knowing when to turn down duels, on the other hand...that could be a problem, as kamazura said.
