I have the following comments about the balance mod. Through most of the game , as Man, I was fighting double bless Vanheim. For the most part I felt like it was fairly balanced, but it is possible Vanheim might have been two nerfed. Rasing the cost of the gods that are good for blessing, rasing the cost of the Vans, and reducing the cost of some troops for other nations, may have been too much.

As it was, since Vans troops are so expensive it took serveral turns before Vanheim was able to create enough troops to expand. By then I was already in the process of building my second castle , and way out incomed him. I was able to build enough forces to counter his Vans, and it was hard for Vanheim to both fight my troops and route out my bards. It was just one game though, and hard to tell how balanced it was. We both made mistakes which mad the war a lot longer then it should have been, and Vanheim may have been unlucky enough to have strong independents surrounding it.

But the war with Vanheim was a lot of fun. Things were deffinatly a lot more balanced then they were before.
