Max Party limit

[Da Man]

what do you guys think on the 4 member party limit. do you think it best balanced at 4? what about having your party size unlimited, obviously no repeats on party members, but have the limit at how many heros you can handle. now this may be something I think I want but in reality may completely unbalance the game making it too easy maybe?

[Ekko Tek]

I think 4 is plenty. I think a chance to encounter and hire 6 would be rare. I've completed the game with 3 heros a couple times as well so it is doable. I like that you are forced to work with limited options. You can always abandon a hero in order to hire one you encounter if you like the composition better, but it is risky if you've already leveled them up quite a bit.

4 is the perfect number.

I think the game gets way to easy when you get more than 4 heros. As it is now you have to rotate your heros sometimes to defend all sides of your "base". When you get more and more heros you can just defend everywhere without moving a single one of them.
You also need to take care of you heros if your maximum is 4. It can be a big problem if one out of four heros dies, while it makes only a little difference when 1 out of 10 dies.

personally i'd like a five members > in that the extra slot would open up once so far...

Penta squad.

Five would be nice to be honest, more than that would make the game a little too easy as you can just place them on all sides of your zone.

let go with 6 max
just like xcom

[Bat Daddy]

Well the more you have the lower levels they'd all be, right?

[MrMurLock]

I'd love 6 heroes to be honest. Balance could always be achieved with tweaking the numbers especially since more heroes = lower levels for each as food would be more scarce.

[Weary]

4 works pretty well (I don't know where the 5th member would start at the beginning of a level), but I will admit that it's painful to come across a potential 5th party member and have to leave them to their (most likely gooey) fate.
