This means that:
(1) Healers/curers are more powerful, since they can cure up to 6 units
per turn, not ~2 as before.
(2) Allied healers/curers are much more powerful, since they will cure
on *their* turn. Combine this with yours to get double healing.
I think it is actually a good idea - bonus for smart teamplay.
We have three possibilities for simple tuning:
(1) Reduce amount healers/curers do (presumably make villages different)
(2) Reduce number of patients healers/curers can handle (needs priority
decision, probably poison then amount of damage)
(3) Remember which units have been treated, don't let allies treat
already-treated ones.
Ad (2) - I think one of main resons to change healing was to actually
make it simpler, and I really doubt that adding to KISS-Healing any kind
of 'priority decision' is simple.
Ad (3) - like I wrote: I consider it as a good thing, that smart
teamplay can give you some addictional bonus. And I doubt that this will
really affect balancing, since it is really faction- and player- dependant.
And now about (1)...
I really don't want (and I _really_ don't see any need to) change
village healing in any way.
Like I wrote on IRC: my proposal is to set amount of HP healed by healer
to 3 or 4 (4 shouldn't be a problem since we don't have any kind of
healing-stacking besides team-one). And set HP healed by curers to 6.
What's more - let's make healing/curing power dependent on healer/curer
level - so for example make lvl3 mage of light cure 8 hp, not 6hp.
Now you can ask - how do we make formula to set how much unit should
heal/cure, if we want to make it level-dependant? I would like to have
system, which would allow me to easly tweak amount of HP healed/cured by
healer in its unit cfg file. This way this ability would be much easier
to balance per unit (and it would add some intresting options for unit
designers).
