If memory serves, the Prince of Death already had some notoriety as an early expansion weapon for Ulm as a zero-enc commander with good combat stats. PoD + full plate is good early, could add a better weapon (Rod of Death was strength-not-added, not too impressive; even a Sword of Sharpness would arguably be better for a physically strong pretender against ordinary troops) if you like.

True. However, before this the PoD has been completely overshadowed by the VQ. I'm simply concerned that the balance tipped too far the other way.

Without native astral, nature, or death, but with the usual dominion rules; hm. Note that you'd only need to empower -one- blood-2 mage to blood-3 and then give him a dwarven hammer to crank out brazen vessels, athames, even armor of souls if need be, and you wouldn't need to divert slaves to maintain or expand dominion.

If you have the Earth gems. Granted, this mod would have Bloodstones, but every Bloodstone could be a Vessel/Knife. You're also just tantalizingly out of reach of Earth-5 for Forge.

Mictlan would have easier Crossbreeding, 'tho, for rapid reinforcement. Intriguing. If I wanted a Blood nation, I'd probably prefer this Version for the drastically reduced micromanagement

s/easier// The funniest thing about the various Elemental Demons is that they generally don't work very together. The Storm Demons can easily kill the others with friendly fire, the Frost Fiends and the Devils don't work well together... the best combination are Demon Knights and Devils, but then you miss out on missile troops...

I sort of made this to test out various things, but I guess it does cut down on the micromanagement.

Heroes might need tweaking, but I can't remember them except for Orokestes.

Orokestes would be even better for the mod than he would for the base. As a general rule, I simply remove Heroes from mods, just to avoid confusion.
