Gold cost for the Helheim units hasn't changed, as far as I could see.

It's funny how earlier people were complaining about Helheim being too strong and now that it got knocked down to size, there are doubts. The way I see it, now you actually have to make CHOICES as to what you're going to do and have a long term impact from it instead of having it all.

It used to be that you just took screwed up scales, hit a double bless and TRRRRRRRRAAAAMMPLLLEEEEEEE! Not anymore. You need more of the very good units to get the same impact and if you go the maximum bless route, you will suffer in other areas where you did not before. The thing is that you can still recruit a Svartalf every turn that you do not recruit a Hangadrott and you can use the Helkarls and Vanjarls as commanders of the armies.
