I have been looking at the 3 zen mods (pretenders/spells/scales). Lets try them out all 3 of them no matter what settings or map we do.

I personally hope we do the Faerun map because it is a very nice map and AD&D players really appreciate it.

With 75 magice frequency probably everyone will have sages. So it probably will counteract very difficult research to make it seem like normal research maybe if you are focusing hardcore on research. But I rather have that because it is unfair how like one or two players get sages and nobody else does in every game. Or how one player always gets one of those uber sites and nobody else does. I think 75 frequency will make it more fair. Also we have lot of people who dislike hoarding and the 75 frequency will even out or actually outweigh extreme hoarding with a player that expands his empire instead of sitting there hoarding every turn like crazy.

The settings will make the game very interesting and the zen mods make for some fresh gameplay. I really hope we get the faerun map!
