I think it would make sense to make the pixie commander an ok magic leader at least. (#OKMAGICLEADER = base 40 magic units) Limiting the pixie commanders to 10 magic beings, when all the recruitable pixies are magic beings, is quite a handicap. Maybe you've looked at this and intentionally made it so, but at my first glance it makes recruiting sacred pixies far more expensive than their gold and resource cost would indicate because I need to recruit a leader for every 10, which is pretty much every turn.

At first I was going to ask why the recruitable Ents have such low HP, but then I realized the intent with the changeshape and I think you've got an awesome concept with an elegant mechanic.

No other mod can compare to your Myconos mod, but this one is brilliant.

Altogether, this is a very entertaining nation. You've really been an inspiration to me.

Thank you very much :)

The reason is that the Pixies got nerfed quite a bit.
They were really over powered and still are very powerful.
Take the Baphomet Pretender with F9S9 and 10 Pixies will rip through most Indies.

So by having them only have 10 Magic leadership it will be at least more costly in terms of gold and in lost research to expand.
Plus I think it's not really Pixie like to have large armies of Pixies.

Later in the game with a little more experience they can command 15 Pixies and the Ents can command some too. But if you really need a lot of magical leadership it's possible for Red Wood to cast "Awake Sleeper".
