Helhirdings can be recruited out of any fort? That's probably your problem right there. I can't check till i'm out of work.

Mictlan might be overpowered if they could recruit Eagle Warriors out of any fort as well. Eagles are some of the best sacred troops in the game. Indeed, because they can fly and have two attacks, if they were not capital only, they might well be the best.

Yes, any fort.

I'd personally rather see the gold cost of units be made appropriate to the power of those units. Wind riders are one of the better examples. You pay 125 gold for a unit that's clearly inferior to a valkyrie, which only costs 60 gold. A non-sacred black knight costs 60 gold, while a sacred Van, with better attack, defense, glamour, and stealth + 30 only costs 70 gold. A living pillar has minor resistances to the elements, yet costs almost the same as a Van, but with 56 resources instead of the Van's 12, and will be killed easily by any of the many nations that have access to S2 mages.

well. in dom2vans were overpowered too. In a MP With just a fire 9 blessing I could stand like 10 turns of war against the two biggest nations and just gave up tired of just holding.
In Dom3 you will need like twice as much army to take out a helfheim force commanded by the AI and they sometimes don´t even bring priests to bless their units. That means that they are still overpowered. Just nerf them or give them at least a weakness.
Making them more expensive would do tough.

Glamour is an ability that's IMO worth +20-30 gold to cost. Super sneaking AND great combat bonuses. On EA Van/Hel also have pretty decent equipment too.

It's already reported as fixed for the next patch.
