Your love for this franchise shines in every post.  Love the ideas!!    

Btw: GFireflyE what is the inspiration for your handle/moniker?

It's a 25 year evolution.

Firefly came first; was my first GI Joe b-day present to me (I think i was 7 at the time), http://generalsjoes.com/reviews/2013/retaliation/singlepacks/wave2/firefly.html (third picture down on the left hand side) So everywhere I played as a kid I was 'Firefly'. Hi-Ya!

E believe it or not stands for Elemental. Has nothing to do with stardock though. In elementry (I think it was grade 5 or 6) a couple of my friends and I wanted a team name and that's what we came up with: The Elementals. It stuck.

The G came much later. I'd prided excellent piloting skills in the game Tie Fighter shortly after it came out. (even colided with a Star Destroyer once and survived...but that's another story) However, it wasn't until the second run through the game where I achieved the highest rank of General even before the second tour (battle 2 out of 12) was completed and my friends called me 'General' for a while so that name stuck (probably right around the time of Gladiator too now that I think about it).

As time passed the name evolved until it is what you see: General Firefly Elemental.

It's too long to write everywhere though, so I shorten it to GFireflyE or GFE in many cases online.

The Crafting System

*Blacksmith- To make items

*Enchanter- To enchant items

*Alchemist table- To make potions

*Beast den- To buy studded collars and customize your pet.

Beasts

Want bears and wolves to grow, change to bigger forms later in levels.

I want to train them with perks.

I want to put armor on them.

Better Diplomacy , and maybe AI. 

I always end up having to destroy the entire trog empire. 

I was thing maybe it would be cool if you could trade cities. And outposts.

Coming a bit late to this conversation, sorry. With regard to what I want to see in DLC...

What I wish for more than anything else is large (the bigger the better) scale 'campaign' maps. These don't have to have any sort of heavy handed, overarching quest or anything, just something interesting to play a big freeform/sandbox game in. In Fallen Enchantress, there are all of three large maps, and one of them is bugged (to this day, never fixed). I don't remember how many there are in Legendary Heroes, as I don't play that version, seeing as how it broke my enjoyment with the change in profession/classes (single class restriction). I saw mention that there may be changes in "trees", and I am hoping there is a change that allows people to build their champions through several profession trees instead of just one. If so, I might be able to start playing Legendary Heroes and buying DLC, which I do 'not' do now, as I am quite certain it is not compatible with Fallen Enchantress.

I must admit that this game has certainly grabbed me. My request is for a high score table to keep track of my game results. It would be interesting to see which of my hero's did best. 

Thanks for considering this.

Is it just me or is that a picture of six dwarves in first post?

One of the things I think would be critical to recapturing the mom feel besides the things you've listed, is the "spell power" stat, allowing for spells to take months to cast making them feel truly epic while allowing you to have those game breaking spells, and the ability to counter those spells if you were properly equipped.

While I do love this aspect about MoM, if LH were to emulate, it would need a 'casting' screen to show which spell is being cast and how many turns till completion. In it's simplest form, this could be a production bar in the top showing how many turns are left until the spell is cast.

dwarfs?

If Legendary Heroes 2.0 was approved and budgeted then where is it?

I must admit I was really looking forward to 2.0 and the planned DLC, but we only got two small DLC packs and a 1.8 patch.

Has all this been cancelled?

Don't think so, Frogboy just mentioned it in a live devstream during one of the SK release streams. Mentioned the backporting of some of the things they've improved/fixed in SK back to LH.

edit: That was either the wednesday or thursday stream of last week, forget which one. You can find that on youtube, and is mentioned in the last 10 or 15 minutes I believe. You'll know it's the correct video if it is Brad and Adam, and not the normal pair of Adam and Scott.

I have not heard anything about this in a long time, not being one for watching live streams that information would have passed me by, thank you BlackSmokeDMax.

Still, would be nice to have a blog or post giving us some official details.

Isn't SK basically Legendary Heroes 2?

More like an spin off IMO
