They're "only" good for chomping armies of about 20-30 normal troops (non-Jots). Solo, that is. They are much more effective if given a little support. I use mine, without support, to wreak havoc in the AI's rear areas.

Alternately, if every vastness alive decreased the vastness summoning chances (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, ...) that would work just as well.

That would be okay. It's reasonable and doesn't sound disbalancing.

If high summoning skill let you mass vastnessess... Rlyeh would generally win at around turn 50, if it could simply survive that long, without even expanding. And was lucky.

A bit of an exaggeration. At least if you play as I do on large maps like Orania, and with indies set to 7+. On smaller maps and/or with normal (ie: weak) indies, yes, I can see how Vastnesses can rule. |
