Re: Blood of humans theme
I would concur with Saber, Alex and Pocus. Particularily on the issue of heat 3.As an Abyssian player giving up heat three is big and Sabers spelt that out well. I also would voluntarily take cold 3 for the giants so the Niefelheim theme is pretty tight.
Cool to read that Niefelheim get an income loss due to the discomfort of the Jotun with the cold - this fits my Back to the Ice Age theme so perfectly. By creating the precondition for the return to the Ice Age the Jotuns will destroy their own civilisation and lay the basis for the coming thaw.
I found the Blood of Humans theme expanded slower as the Abyssian infantry may cost more but you can build the same amount due to resource restrictions. Abyssia produces deadly early armies, who in my experiance, can achieve all the gains an early SC can. This has always been the basis of my abyssia play and I think alot of people underestimate the power and efficiency of killer HI armies lead by fanatacism. If you play them right you don't lose a battle vs an independant, take few casualties, and you conquer at an excellent rate. Battle afflications becomes one of the major concerns your guys live so long.
I agree with Pocus that it would nice if you could at least have a magic scale for the newts or else improve them.
Don't worry, be happy . . .
