That's a good suggestion.

The MA Agartha Kin-Breaker hero has some good flavor regarding Agartha getting completely owned on the surface world due to their outmoded cave battle tactics, so I think it makes a lot of thematic sense for Agartha to have adopted ranged weapons in response. Plus they really need the help.

Oh, and I disagree that no gens makes it harder for a lagging nation to come back, since the leading nation(s) will be able to break into wish cycling and Forge of the Ancients abuse much sooner than a lagging nation, furthering their lead. Gens do force more reliance on national units and gold though, so weaker nations do take a hit, but the solution to that is to buff the nations to get to a point of balance, which also leads to a lot more of a flavorful late game, since tart hordes and armageddon spam won't be the order of the day.

Err... Isn't this exactly what I said? Pangaea does not *need* the Gorgon, but at the price in vanilla it would be simply stupid to take anything else but an awake Gorgon.

I mean, if you are buying car and can choose a brand new Volvo for 50 bucks or a Ferrari for 2 millions, which one would you choose? Sure, Volvo isn't anything super fancy, it's "just" a comfortable, good and reliable car which is bound to get you where ever you are going, and if you'd get it practically for free...

Hopefully it is a bug, but Pangaea's CW costs now 90 nature gems and takes 6nature 5death to cast it. I thaught that it was ok in 1.5 to have it cost 50N and to be able to cast it 5n4d. In readme file there is nothing about this change.

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6
 

Agreed. I liked the 1.5 version.

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6
 

yeah, i hope qm addresses this soon. if its a bug, i really hope he fixes it very soon

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6
 

Blame Jarkko for abusing it in Forge, I think that might be behind the nerfing. =)

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6
 

he abused it in magellan too I thought it rather smart of him = )

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.6
 

Ohohoh, look, my name is mentioned! :)

Anyway, CW in CBM prior to 1.6 was slightly over the top, I just wonder why it hasn't been used more before :) Anyway, it's not like Pangaea needs it, but it certainly did open up totally new options for EA and MA Pangaea :)
