> Sirrian makes half his forum posts at 3am. He’ll come to this thread in a couple of hours just to prove my point, you’ll see. A wild Sirrian appears I’m just giving my voice a break… recording the third preview now! ---

@Mitheithel I agree that this will no doubt be well thought out and balanced. I have developed a lot of respect for the devs during the course of playing this game. I was just thinking of a possible difficulty with too much individual cstomization. ---

Tsk… And you’d prioritise sleep over feeding your update-hungry followers here? Selfishness I’d call it… If I dared… But then you’d go change my cool forum title to ‘sleeps with the goats’ or something… ---

Any idea whether changes to troop leveling will flow through to Arena? E.g. will we still be fighting Level 15 troops? Unlocking troops at the end of the arena, etc ---

As a lot of our players jump on the forums in our evenings, I like to occasionally check in and answer when possible (this also goes for weekends). ---

I also want to let you guys know that the third preview video has been delayed (so won’t be out today). To keep you guys tide over until we can get it out, have another set of Traits. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/7/78929be9926ee753d0ec97bb2d1e0c845c2c9ef2.png) ---

Wow carnex is a badass! ---

Carnex being a badass is redundant. When that first trait says ‘all ally Constructs’ is that _including_ Carnex or not? ---

It doesn’t include the word ‘other’ so I assumed it applied to itself… Bit confusing though. Also - are the words ‘at the start of battle’ needed really? Without those words I’d still read it as a bonus applied like all kingdom/team bonuses, i.e. at the start of battle anyway… ---

Wow, so there really are traits which are straight up stronger then others (Immune to Poison Barbearius compared to Immune to all Status effects) ---

Yes, but the better ones will be the third tier (have to unlock the others first) and be much more expensive in traitstones… ---

Could you show us about 10 more… 😄 Even then, you’ve only showed us less than 10% of every troop in the game. ---
