Neutral forces

Yeah, but the goal is to create a game where heroes aren't all-powerful. Where you can reasonably imagine playing with no heroes and still expect victory, if you play your cards right.

 

Hense the hypothetical rock paper scissors.

 

Regular units get whomped to death by (combat) heroes.

Heroes can be taken down by bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters are vulnerable to regular units.

 

Bounty hunters may indeed be heroes, but if you look at it a certain way, they're hireable heroes. You probably don't acquire them in the same way you'd get Obi-Wan or Thrawn. You'd probably just...well, buy their services.

 

Regardless, this should definately be a question for the live chat on the 18th. How the game can be balanced so that heroes and bounty hunters don't lord over everything.

 

Now it makes sense! Oops!

If bounty hunters could kill heroes and wade through normal troops, they would be awesome, but unfair!
