Hmm, perhaps linking reanimation to growth would justify a high growth scale. Then growth would always be 3. Now its always 2.

No big difference in practice, but it might make you feel good when you pay the design points

Isn't reanimation already linked to growth for some high level enchantments (Enchanted Woods etc.)?

Why not give CW one of those as a national spell? If Niefelheim can have Illwinter...

Anyway, I think part of the problem with CW is that the capitol-only troops are difficult to use with a rotting core. Why not remove capitol restrictions from them? Or provide a +resource site at the capitol that allows them to be built even after the population has been killed by the destructive dominion?

An even more radical idea: the dominion is dangerous to HUMANS, but CW's own population isn't human. So it only kills outside your borders (something similar to Desert Sun, Heart of Winter, Restless Worshippers). But that gets into the whole issue of how, when Caelum conquers a province of 25,000 Abysians, they all start to prefer cold +3. I don't think there's really a good solution to that.
