Re: Need to vent about "Vengeance of the Dead"
A counterpoint to the balance argument is that you can bLast undead hordes in more cost-effective ways, such as a low-level priest, such as an independent.
And as semi-relevant anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of magic resistance, in Dominions 1, my pretender was attacked by this four or five times IIRC, and always resisted. I did lose a priest or two to it who had banished many undead, but at 50 gold - c'est la morte.
I'd still welcome a change so that undead, soulless, and/or mindless didn't qualify for vengeance, on the basis of meaning more than balance. I think it might be good too if banishing tons of undead didn't get priests so easily into elite status and the hall of fame, but that's mainly just a preference.
By the way, does anyone know whether Vengeance of the Dead will involve people who were killed but ressurrected? Multiple times? E.g. If you kill Bozo the prophet three times do you face him three times in VotD? If he's currently alive does it make a difference to VotD? Mainly just curious...
