Nicely discribed requests. Some points:
Extra Hire Types:
- Physician and dyes planned. Blacksmith is unlikely, if there are any small upgrades, they would likely be done by yourself or a general craftsman.
- A Trainer is also planned.
- They will not take up a roster spot.
UI:
- Good suggestions, I know the Devs are working on a solution to the second point.
Game Type Feedback:
- On Frays, the main Developer agrees, while XP is tied to a player performance they are considering extra features to promote attacking verse staying passive. These will likely tie into a larger Arena change.
- The times this has been brought up in the past, the response has generally been no. More features are planned for hirelings.
- More events are certainly planned, although the beast will likely stay special in terms of enounters.
