Donating to the horse

We should be able to donate to the light/ dark horse when it goes in battle to attack a region. The troops we donate should increase the cp gained, but the troops donated would not be able to be used until the horse returned, also you know how it says how many men are left it should take casualties but gear should not be affected.

Please consider this.

Mayb randomly because of how they do in battle they can get xp, gold, and frags too and then u could view the battle to see them.

No u wouldn't get any rewards at for this except powering up the horse, giving rewards defeats the purpose.

Had discussed this unofficially with Joyce in chat awhile ago.

But yes, would be nice to be able to 'buff' up the Capital army by buying extra troops for it to make it stronger.

Maybe this could also in some what alter the units the AI fields when fighting on a given hex.

For example if a Capital Army has a heap of archers or cavalry in its composition, when the Army is attacking a hex, battles on that hex will encounter more of whatever unit (archers & cavalry) the Capital Army is comprised of.

Edit:
I am of course referring to these.

I like Turtle's idea of contributing troops to the capital army, but a reward system (for doing so) should be implemented along with it. After all, you won't be able to use those units in battle for some time....

Not donating units, just resources that the AI uses to hire those units.
No reward should be given. The reward is a stronger AI army to help us take hexes.

Totally disagree with that, XV.  I suppose it is meant to make the game more attractive to the players, so hopefully it would contribute to a larger number of active players. That will only work when implemented with a reward system. It's just how people generally are in it. No rewards, no input of whatsoever.

I don't think just giving resources is that fun, it is no real commitment either, especially to high-level players, who have plenty of them. Also, small players wouldn't be able to contribute that much. Donating troops would require you to give up the use of certain units in your baracks for the time being. Doesn't necessarily mean you send in your best units...still I would find this very motivating. It would give me the feeling that I can really directly contribute with my tiny armies to the big picture.

The reward being only the increase of cp gathered by the capital army, will not necessarily lead to reducing the stalemate, as the darkies will of course have the same possibility. Also, donating resources to the capital army will just create another resource sink. Soon, it would become a necessity to contribute as both sides are continually putting in resources to deal more damage to regions.

That's not a bad idea at all

Which was suggested months ago btw  

There was even a suggestion to buy horses with gems.

But i am all for "send own troops with the horse", while you do you cant use them - but the efficiency of that horse is improving.
