I feel like promoting to a Dragon should be free because right now would be more worth it promote to a queen, saving 6 energy and 4 moves, for a piece that is only weaker by 4 points.

Nav has it at half price. But you're right. A knight isn't that powerful. I'll consider it.

What gets to me is the 4 moves, I feel like queen should only be allowed to promote on 11 to make dragons more desired.

maybe at 9

winston_weng

But right now promoting to queen even on the same square as the dragon is better, as you pay 6 points for a piece which is only 4 points stronger than a queen.

HorribleTomato

That is extremely fair. I will lump the promotion tweaks with the balance changes coming in the Update 20 update.

My tweaks: Promotion line for dragon decreased from 11 to 9

Promotion cost for dragon is 1/4 rounded down (which costs 4 points instead of 6)

This makes the dragon cost only 2 extra moves for equal energy cost. This should make the dragon more worth it.

Do I get refund? lol

HorribleTomato

Does winston get a refund?

That's just the proposed changes... if you don't like it then vote it out and it won't be added into the game.

Bad_Dobby_Fischer

I'm kidding

I didn't know we're voting, but I'll vote for the change

hitthepin

I suppose I’ll also vote in favor of it.

HorribleTomato

I'm trying to keep this a community project. I don't want it to be just me deciding how the game changes and plays. Why make a balance change if the community doesn't think it balances the game?

K(7,1), James could you please move your queen now? I would be in favor of more events, and cheaper dragons.

No. I’m simply politely requesting for the Queen to go away.

Politely requesting with a connotation of death!

What’s so impossible to believe that this isn’t just a polite request?

Because that's probably what I would do. Passive aggressive requesting.

I'll move it  I was just trying to make sure my base was solid.

winston_weng

I vote in favour of cheap dragons

HorribleTomato

That's a majority since I made the vote and three people agreed. The patch will arrive in update #20.

Q(18;16). Is that legal tomato?
