4. That a VO is inferior in every way to, say, a devil, or a FoD, etc. is making a point in my book: Devil Factories are no-brainers.
Maybe it is just a silly idea to want to balance any one unit out without changing the entire game. So... I'll retract the idea for now ... but would like to keep it in mind for future patches or dom3.
To setup Devil Factories takes quite some time . You might be rushed to death meanwhile already by Pangenea or Vanheim .

And with blood there are so many other choices like IDs and ADs so a devil is not a no-brainer .
And vs. a Wrathful Squad devils suck bigtime also .

The only thing in Dominions where i would maybe use the word no-brainer is maybe Caelum . They are unfair , good troops and the best earlygame - midgame mages .

Really quickly caelum researches quickness + lightning bolt . That's already 2 dead troops per caelum mage per battleturn for most nations . Shortly after they can either rush to AQs or Alteration 6 for false horror spamming + ultraunfair raiding .

So caelum is my no-brainer number 1 .
