Default Re: Vampire Queens and Sneaking Armies

yeah, the VQ is the worst of the lot.

I'd suggest two things:

1. no regen would be good - that way, even though immortal, she would at least possibly get some afflictions. Lessening the implicit recuperative powers of immortal units would be good too.

2. Extra paths are far too cheap. those are what make a truly insane supercombattant. I'd raise the VQ's extra path cost to 60 or 70, and the Ghost King's extra path costs to 40. Also a few others should recieve similar increases.

edit: oops, I see I've basically repeated what Truper said.

And even increasing the costs for new paths won't really interfere w/ the creation of crazy supercombattants. but at least it would help a bit. Norfleet's standard vampire queen has 400 points invested in paths. increasing the initial path cost would only lower her numbers a little, and wouldn't much affect her brutal combat power.
