Fimbulwinter should not generate favour

[Chouno]

in a large 8 player map, fimbulwinter is able to generate enough favour to spam it, i was gaining enough favour to use it immediately without fighting. It's already the most annoying of the end game god spells due to it just destroying workers.

It also doesnt seem to prevent worker garrisons like in previous AoE games, but the buildings they would garrison do freeze over anyway.

wow bump yeah this is not fair at all lol

the recast spells thing is cool but God Power damage shouldnt count towards Favor, that seems dangerously cyclical and abusable

For posterity I have to ask if you had a wonder.

While it's probably not terribly helpful, fimbulwinter is, mythologically, the end times of eternal winter. (Well, technically a winter lasting three years; but that's long enough that few survive.). Since it lasts just 35 seconds, you'd better be able to cast it successively. :)

Yes im aware its cost is reduced with wonders, however it generates based on damage dealt across 8 players. I was able to regen enough to use it again pre wonder multiple times by just using it. Post wonder it was on permanent cooldown.

Cant balance multiplayer

Well the Norse gain favor when fighting with units and those wolves are counted as units.

I think they meant that you can't balance large multiplayer lobbies while also balancing ranked 1v1s

This studio has actually done a pretty solid job of it in other titles, I suspect we'll get there eventually though it absolutely will take time.

This wouldnt be the worst fix either.

It doesn't make sense that some wolfies can win the game for you but a literall space rock falling from the skies can't destroy a single town center and costs the same as the wolfies
sky rocks exterminated the dinossaurs and should deal extra damage again't hydras

Not only that but the wolves are not only stronger than the other High tier GP's they regenerate their own favor cost.
