Giving experimentals castable spells

[:1]It would be nice to see castable spells on experimentals only. I know GPG is adding spells to the mage, and that's perhaps ok I suppose. I just don't want to see mass-produced units using spells. It doesn't feel like it's in the spirit of a large scale strategic game. For experimentals, however, I think adding spells would be a great way to diversify factions and add unique abilities.
Thoughts?|||It seems like a good idea in theory, but it all depends on how its implemented. If its only for experimental it might be okay, but even then that might become to much clicking to cast abilities. It really depends on how many experimental units there will be, and how easily you can get them. If its to easy to get the experimental, and they have a bunch of different abilities that are manually activated, then the game could just as easily become a clickfest. I know, experimentals are not supposed to be easy to get but its still worth mentioning. If the abilities might be buffs of some kind, or an effect that stays on all the time, then I really wouldn't have a problem with it, IMO.|||You say that, but you don't know how powerful the spells will be. Fine, only let experimentals cast spells, if the spells are going to be to KnC what Nukes are to Supcom. But if the spells aren't so powerful, why have to wait till end game to be able to use some comparitevly lame stuff?|||Epiphenomenon|||I'd rather have hero units with spells than experimentals|||chosan|||I saylets give spells to high tier units such as kings and queens, mages and expirimentals. thats enough for me. we don't need any hero units beside the king and queen.|||Dodanodo|||chosan|||I would like certain units to have special abilities, but only if these abilities can be set to autocast, much like capital ships in SoaSE. If not, I'd prefer they not be in at all (except for stuff that needs to be manually cast, like a wizard making a bridge)|||chosan|||Hazza616|||The_Silencer|||Oh, I see.
