[Scott Hebert]

I stated what I felt to be true.

If you had done any research, however, you would have seen that the statement did not apply to me, and thus had no place in the post except as an implied insult.

You implied you felt cheaper mages were only good for forging and communion slaves (and blood hunting I imagine).

If that's what you 'got out' of my statement, let me be clearer. The overwhelming use of cheaper mages is to be research or bloodhunt, especially in the early-game, because they are more efficient.

Great, let's improve the wind rider then shall we?

Read what I wrote again. I did not say 'underpowered'; I said 'overpriced'. That is, I think they should cost around 100g, because their kill rate is much higher than comparable units (like the Valkyrie). However, they don't compare well to Gryphon Riders, so they probably should fall somewhere between the two.

I seem to recall that was what my mod did. Giving GE a well-costed large flier would most likely improve the theme quite a bit, and it's what I've advocated all along.

I disagree with how you modified them. Awe is totally inappropriate for them, IMO. And I hope you gave the Crystal Amazon Pegasus Riders Awe, too, if your reasoning for the Awe is because of the Pegasi. I would never give a flying sacred unit Awe, personally.

Also, that was not the only change you made. The changes seemed geared towards making Golden Era Arco play more like base Arco, which doesn't seem what the developers wanted.
