The Field Medic as a Support Hero
The hero should not primarily fight, but rather be used as a medic or field doctor.
1. The Field Hospital
- The hero can build a field hospital in their own and allied province. ( Same system like Johan Maes)
- Estimated construction time at approximately 12-24 hours.
- Wounded troops can retreat there.
- The longer the hero stays in the hospital, the better the healing process.
- The hospital has a limited treatment capacity.
-Morale boost?
2. Suggested Healing Values
Situation Healing per half a day/day:
Field Hospital Only +10% of maximum HP
Field Hospital with Hero +15-20%
High-Level Hero Up to X%
Would be on top of the healing from the province, depending on moral - +
3. Limited healing
I came up with five rules:
- No healing during combat, to prevent the creation of virtually invincible armies.
- The field hospital should ideally be located in the rear, as a retreat for damaged troops.
- Enemies could conquer the province containing the hospital, making it a strategically important target. Or they could destroy it directly when conquering the province.
- Limited tents to 5
- Only biological units such as infantry, horses, etc. would be healed.
4. What I particularly liked about the idea:
Such a support hero could be incredibly valuable, especially in long wars. Instead of constantly waiting for new troops or spending gold marks on healing, damaged armies could be withdrawn, regenerated, and then sent back to the front.
The difference to the normal game mechanics: Currently, the official Supremacy Help Center describes the natural regeneration of troops as well as healing with gold marks. Our field doctor would be an additional game mechanic that could potentially prolong rushes or wars with multiple fronts and offer even more opportunities for a counterattack.
And I also remember some moments when such a hero would be particularly helpful to players who were fighting tactically or were attacked from three sides and had to play defensively and had to think about distribution because of low health units, instead of having to fully heal their armies with gold marks/boosters. 😁
So yeah thats my idea for now :) What ya guys think?
Great idea- just an idea, though- that I want to point out: I believe that field hospitals or normal hospitals should be something that a province can build in general, but the hero can increase its value or build its own temporary shelter or something closer to the front lines.
It just seems logical to me that there are different ways to make the troops healthier, and provinces can make hospitals. Open for suggestions though
