Not enough monster slots

[Plystire]

After beating the game on the small map on Normal, I went to play a new run on the bigger grid on Hard.

Well, it seems you need a lot more "beauty" to gain stars on Hard, which I don't really mind... I wanted to make a massive dungeon anyway! The plan was to have the first section be low-level, leading up to a "mini boss" room, which would then branch out in 3 directions. Each branch would be a different theme, leading up to the boss for each of the monster groups (Underworld, Inferno, Forest).
Underworld branch went great, but by the time I was done with it, I'm sitting there with 4 monster slots left and apparently NO WAY to get more!
I'm also not even at 2.5 stars WITH all of my rooms being max beauty. That kinda matches with the size of the map too as I've not come close to using half of it either!

I get that there are plans to expand the themes on the roadmap, which obviously will lead to new tech trees for those themes and thus probably more monsters, but let's be real here... the monster slots expanded by 4 -- FOUR!!! -- monster slots from the Inferno and Forest themes each. That's NOT going to fill out a large dungeon, even IF you added 4 more themes each expanding the slots by 4 each.

Also, don't make the bosses consume a monster slot, please. Like... if I'm allowed to max out my monsters BEFORE unlocking the boss... and it's then totally fine with me having 1 more monster than I'm supposed to, just make them a separate pool or something. Because now I can't delete monsters for reroll without PERMANENTLY losing them!


I'd love to play more of this, but there's really no more room for expansion with the monster slot limit as it is. Which is a shame since I haven't even hit 3-stars on my Hard save.

Bump. There's not enough monsters for a multi-level dungeon with monsters in most rooms.
