Limited skills

I would like to know which limitations you are thinking of in particular. Because I don't neither see a problem with builds themselves (except of the slight advantage STR builds have over AGI builds at the moment) nor how limitations would help anything.

I am always for as much personal freedom as possible, so I say rather no/pointless. 

[Kafein]

PS,IF,ATH,shield and riding tend to become too good over 8 because you can take the full advantage of your unbalanced build without suffering from the tradeoff too much if you play smart.

[Adamar]

Yeah, I was thinking of forcefields too.
I dunno about specific numbers for limitations, the devs would be the ones making the ballance.

Another example may be foot archers with 1 slot bows. They need only 150 wp or so, so they can increasy their pd over the top and sudenly deal way more damage than they should.

But you can give rough examples, so that I can get at least some kind of idea what you mean.

Something like "You can't raise one attribute (AGI or STR) more than 6 points over another" or "Limit shield skill to 5" or something like that

Somewhere between 8 and 10 maybe less, depending on the skill.

Like no more than 7 or 8 for ps, 8 for pd, 9 or 10 tops for wm to cup spammers short...

But like I said, I'm not omniscient about the game engine, haven't even played much of cav, so my opinions can't be taken to heart.

A limit of 10 seems logical since you can still get some extreme builds but it would, for example, fix the problem of 13 shield skill turtles. Setting it at 10 would leave enough skills to have a very diverse character base while removing the very top ends of both spectrums.

[MrShine]

I agree, I think a limit of 13 seems fair.

[zagibu]

Yeah, let's reduce diversity, so we can have more members in the Kuyak clone army.

people always say (insert something cheap) is OP usually because they die to it.  Str builds die to AGI builds and vise versa.  Horses kill a lot of people and also die a lot.  Archers are stupid OP but there K/D ratio isn't usually that great.  Throwers are annoying but they definently have a bad KD ration *usually*. 

The only thing that needs a nerd is engineers.  They are stupid OP and i'm sure we can all agree on that.

I think you mean "nerf" not "nerd"

By the way, after the latest patch there are no engineering in the game but strategus if I am not mistaken.

[Bobthehero]

Right now the limit is 15, I think its good enough.

[Gatsby]

sure a good idea, if u can be fast as flash or strong as hulk, it should be possible also to fly like superman!
Also unbreakable shields are wierd..
Imo 9 it's enough for many skill.
It's also funny to see or try some extreme build, but i like a realistic game more, so i would vote for a limit.

[Vibe]

Extreme builds always have a disadvantage, the more extreme the build is the more extreme the disadvantage will be. I don't see anything wrong with it.

[Ninja_Khorin]

I vote no. Extreme builds aren't particurarly effective, the only problem I have is the invulnerable shield at 13 skill, so limiting it to 12 would be alright. Other than that, I don't see the point.  And I'm not a 30 agi ninja lobbyer. I have 24 agility.
