On the VQ issue, I fall more in line with Norfleet: there's actually very little reason to use the VQ now.

Is there any reason why we shouldn't read that an overstatement from the perspective of a narrow selection process? She's still a good immortal fighting chassis with a huge list of build-in abilities. Looks good to me.

And trying to argue that an Undead Pretender is non-thematic for Ermor is really pushing it. After all, you DO have Broken Empire as the base.

Good point about Broken Empire, but they'd have to change the god selection UI to eliminate it only from the Ashen and SG themes. Seems to me there are good thematic and logical reasons from taking from them, and the perhaps unnecessary hit to Broken Empire doesn't seem to me like a big deal.

Personally, I'd rather have an unclear reason for an omitted pretender choice, than a couple of pretender choices that don't make a lot of sense (vampire queen with murderous dominion exterminating her blood sources).

Basically, the VQ changes, in the main, were aimed at the way Norfleet (and only Norfleet) plays.

Oh? What about the chorus of whines that everyone was copying Norfleet's strategy?

I'm going to be trying to find a 'better balance' with everything through the modding. If I find anything that seems to lead to better games in the main, I'll be sure to post it. ...

Cool - looking forward to it!
