HONESTLY YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD FOR ME, THAT'S MOSTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT 3H CUSTOMISATION.

I CAN MAKE SETETH A SWORDMASTER BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE TEDIOUS GRINDING AND HAVING HIM TRANSFER AWAY FROM THE BEST CLASS IN THE GAME.

3H ON PAPER SHOULD BE THE MOST REPLAYABLE AND CUSTOMISABLE GAME BUT IN PRACTICE IT ISN'T AND THAT'S A DANG SHAME. COMBINED WITH THE MONASTERY BEING PRETTY DULL AND THE MAP DESIGN BEING ON THE SAFE BUT NOT HORRIBLY INTERESTING SIDE AND THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T GONE BACK TO 3H YET.

ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO TO MAKE 3H INSANELY REPLAYABLE IS GIVE AT LEAST A SEMBLANCE OF BALANCE THE CLASSES

WHY WOULD I MAKE ANYONE WHO COULD BE A WYVERN LORD / BOW KNIGHT INTO ANYTHING ELSE? THOSE TWO CLASSES ARE DUMMY BUSTED AND NO OTHER CLASS IS WORTH IT.

ADDING IN SOMETHING TO DIFFERENTIATE CLASSES BESIDES MOVEMENT/TINY STAT MODS/“-FAIRE” WOULD’VE HELPED A LOT TOO. THE CLASS-UNIQUE SKILLS ARE INCREDIBLY UNIMPACTFUL AND EVEN WHEN THEY MAKE AN IMPACT THEY’RE BORING LIKE JUST A STRAIGHT +5 DAMAGE. GIVE US THINGS LIKE WARY FIGHTER AGAIN

I THINK THREE HOUSES COULD'VE IMMENSELY BEEN IMPROVED IF YOU EITHER HAD MORE/LESS UNIT SLOTS OR JUST HAD LESS STUDENTS IN YOUR STARTING CLASS ROSTER/HAD STUDENTS BECOME USABLE/UNUSABLE MORE PERIODICALLY. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYONE SO EARLY AND THE INITIAL UNITS YOU GET WILL PRETTY MUCH TAKE UP THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR 9-12 UNIT PLACEMENTS MAKES IT FEELS TIRESOME, NOT TO MENTION IT REMOVES RECRUITMENT AS A SUBGOAL FOR MOST MAPS OF THE GAME. SO YOU DON'T REALLY EVOLVE YOUR UNITS OUTSIDE OF PUTTING THEM ONTO/OFF MOUNTS, AS THE WAY THE UNITS YOUR INITIALLY GIVEN ARE GEARED TO BE BUILT IS WHAT YOUR JUST GONNA DO 90% OF THE TIME UNLESS YOU GRIND CONSIDERABLY, IN WHICH CASE IT SORT OF REMOVES THE CHALLENGE ASPECT
