Making swapping positions with summons impossible


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Making swapping positions with summons impossible

What if you couldn't swap positions with summoned allies?
Suddenly you don't have a safe escape in corridors, suddenly summoning too many allies can backfire blocking your path to retreat. Summoners will spend more turns telling summons to attack something, retreat somewhere etc.

Won’t this just make summoners more obnoxious? What I mean is, it will increase micromanagement, increase frustration and actually convince more people not to play with summoners!
I’m current playing with Hep and the dumb ancestor stays in the wrong place and doesn’t help me from the tactical standpoint.
Maybe I just don’t like summoners.

Yes, the problem is that if you cannot swap position with your summons it remains true even if there is no danger, and it would be extremely annoying.

By the way Lightning Spire is a summon which cannot be swapped with. I guess then we would need to choose position for every summon which might potentially buff summons instead of nerfing them.

Re: Making swapping positions with summons impossible

Choosing where your summons come in should be baseline anyway, IMO.
