Doom Horrors aren't even necessarily the best thing you can wish for, to be honest.

You can wish for a "lord of hell", and get a Demon Lord that spawns Militia and even Blood Slaves as soon as you GoR it.

You can wish for a Vastness, it has no item slots once you Gift of Reason it, but it is immune to Cold, shock, and Poison, and it has Astral Magic Level 3, and it has a bunch of Mind Blasts (which yes, are enhanced by the Astral Magic once you make it a leader).

Nerfing the standard wishes now will just make people spend some time wishing for new crap in single player for a while getting new units and effects that are crazy good.

It would issue in another dark time, where some people know what is good that can be Wished for and other people don't. That makes it unfair. Frankly, the list of high-quality wishes should be published with the game. It's fine if not everyone knows about wishing for Vastnesses, but at the very least everyone should know about:

*Gems
*Magic Power
*Doom Horror
*Gold
*Girls

Those are the standard wishes, and everyone should have access at least to those. The more specialized wishes, like Arena Fight and Lord of Hell can be Easter Eggs, but all the "raw power" wishes should be available to everyone.
