Yes, but it can wait for an expansion or a later patch.

No, Ubi has enough on their hands. Maybe when they're done.

I know about the other thread that was just put up, but i thought a poll was in place. I think i covered all the options...

It's a minor issue right now, as there are certainly more important things I'd rather see fixed before it. But, sure, I'd like to see some improvements to artifacts added in a future patch or expansion..So, I'll go with that option..

It can wait for expansions,though more artifacts are indeed needed.

As long as they are coming, I'm not particular about when.

Note that they fixed the missing descriptions in 1.1.

I agree that it is important, but there are just too many things I want to see before they even look into this issue.

Come to think of it, there is one option that I think is missing. I would like to see this addressed in a future patch not in the/an expansion.

I voted yes, but it can wait. While I definitely want more and most definitely want combination artifacts (all the Dwarven ones can go together and all the Sar-Issus ones can go together), it's something that can wait until more important things are fixed.

I 100% agree with the majority:

A lot more artifacts (and the possibility of artifacts combining) are indeed needed.

However, in the game's current state, there are simply many more important things to be fixed/added.

Agree. Has to be done, but not n#1 in the list for sure.

There are over 70 artifacts in the game right now plus the Wands and scrolls. I think, the problem is right now, that on too many maps there are too many minor artifacts placed and not enough major ones because a lot of the artifacts are falling into the "major" category. So that means you'll get a plethora of the same dozen or so minor artifacts in the course of one game which leads to the belief that there are not enough artifacts. There are, definitely, but you don't get to see them, is the problem here.

I didn't vote because while I do think more artifacts would be nice, I think they need to add a couple miscellaneous spots first.

I think one of the big problems is that when a game is created H5 doesn't do anything to minimize the number of duplicates in the game.

IIRC there are 26 minor artifacts in the game. Lets say that you're on a map with 6 factions and each faction has 4 random minor artifacts in it's area. This is a total of 24 minors on the map. When the game is created H5 should ensure that each of those minors are unique.

What happens now though is, by chance, you'll see a 3-5 of several artifacts and may not see half of the possibilities in the game.

Voted nr.2

It would be great as said, but I can wait a bit longer.

Two more requests: More artifact options for Academy and a tool for creating custom artifacts.

We need more artifacts, but it can wait a bit until they take care of other things. #2.
