A proposal to make Antagonist mode more balanced
on: October 09, 2017, 02:19:11 AM
In my previous threads in the feedback section, I explained why antagonist mode was unfair and unfun. However, an idea sparked from this discussion and I thought of something that could help the game mode if the devs haven't thought of it yet. Why not let the antagonist be able to command NPC's to attack or pull back when it suits the antagonist needs. This way they have more control of the battlefield that doesn't overtly break the balance of the game.  Of course, there will be limits on how many in all, but the principle idea stands. Also, There is the idea of using your accumulated aleph to affect the mission just like in the mission The Enemy Within where you can accelerate the Fifth Councils mission progression. An example of implementing this could when Uru Gal is being escorted, the antagonist could make use of the raiders absence and use aleph to take down his shield making him vulnerable. This would split the raiders concentration on the battle and give the antagonist some possible breathing room. This is just an example, but the antagonist being able to influence the game this way would make the mode more fun and less frustrating. I hope the devs read this and keep the idea in consideration at the ver least.

Well since the Antagonist is just 'sitting' on their loads of gained Aleph why not implement that as the cost? Perhaps 2 Aleph to 'recruit' a NPC and give them some basic commands like guarding a spot or attacking a specific Raider. The 2 Aleph cost would mean 'almost' 3 recruits. In other words, they would need one more kill to get a 3rd recruit and I would 'cap' it there on how many they could command total. Dying means losing your Aleph so it would force Antagonists to make a choice of being aggressive or strategic depending on if they utilize this system. Thoughts?
