Summary0026363: DL3: Initial Starting 'Essence'
DescriptionAfter several playthroughs with the Necromance I'm not sure that the initial starting 'Essence' is sufficiently balanced.

Any chance of adding an option to set this value?

There is an option for this in the game lobby; "Bonus Starting Resources".

You can also just use cmd:essence,X to get X bonus essence.

How much essence do you think would be balanced?

Oh...so that's what that option does. Okay.

And I personally feel like it's sufficiently balanced for early early game. It's at least enough to get your Necropolis to Mark 5 and your first flagship to I think Mark 3 just shy of 4. Which is actually somewhat excessive considering your lack of unit buildings for hex usage. Then again, early defenses aren't a bad option either. So it's best to save up essence to build a new minor necropolis, a major necropolis, and a defensive necropolis. And rank up that one defensive once. Basically, spend your essence wisely.

The way necromancer resources are allotted has been reworked a couple times, so if some adjustment is needed in the numbers that's an option.

An option in the game lobby already exists to tune the starting Essence. Additional feedback would be required before any additional changes are made
