Default Re: Conceptual Balance (Discussion)

While it would be a huge task, I think it is unbalanced that some races get their toughest sacred units at every castle, (MA vanaheim), and a race like man does not get koas, which are not even sacred, at their other castles.

Man seems to really get slapped hard with the loss of units they can recruit away from their capital(5 units), and on a large map, not sure that is balanced. I can see stripping the Crone, and the 2 sacred units, but the daughter of avalon and Koa seems punitive.

I am not using MA Man as a poster child, it just the race I thought of 1st, i am sure there are others.

The issue with respect to balance is how races fair on large maps where they really have no access to their cap troops. Another race that is powerful is arcos. and they get virtually all of their best troops at any castle, especially elephants, and super high morale infantry. (And their astrologists can tp around the map).

So when you have tough tough races getting vans and elephants at every castle, not sure why man loses out on all 5 of its units.
