Now in Qms Balance 3 things are again a bit different but in Zens item 1.0 the golems and SC in general are rather crappy with the lack of Lifedrain.

Wow! This is the single best argument for getting rid of LD that I have ever heard. The game needs fewer SCs for sure to increase the fun factor (for me anyway).

I am convinced that life drain is way overpowered in the base game. So much so that it totally rules late game strategy. I mean, cheap (but very effective) bane lords with a hell sword and flying boots and perhaps a pendant of luck can be manufactured endlessly by any nation (except perhaps for base Ulm).

Also, if you guys are interested in a new target for your agressive acts towards peaceful neighbors, I would be like to play Jontunheim, a race I have never tried as yet.
Yeah i like the change also .
A banelord with LD is annoying but nothing compared to a golem with LD. The AN Attacks make the Golem very useful even vs. enemy SCs.

A Golem only costs 30 pearls also, vs. 15 Deathgems now with Zens Spells. If your main income is pearls, and normally it is because of hoarding, the Golem and the Banelord cost the same then and in Vanilla the Banelord is 1/3 cheaper.

Even a single Golem in Vanilla can beat near endless amounts of enemy units, even strong stuff like Devils as long as someone with a staff of storm accompanies him.

I am glad that this menace is now practically gone
