Default Re: Skaven Nation. Warhammer based.

Which specialists were you thinking of? The night runners and gutter runners?

I'm currently having a think about summon allies and how to best balance it, but I will say that choosing to ignore research and go for summoned allies is supposed to be an option with this nation (at least on micro scale) but it shouldn't be an easy choice to go for the allies. If it is currently, I'll have to change things. One thing I've already decided for the next version is that Rat Ogres, Globadiers and Warpfire Throwers will have a high(er) upkeep cost that will be mentioned in their description and make them less of a bargain when 'free' summoned.

If I have to keep them as gem summons only, I'll fiddle around with the spells to cast them and make them so they're still fairly low research level and must be massed by using several casters, with a higer research level of the spell massing them more efficiently. Comparing them to fire drakes doesn't make sense though - who actually summons fire drakes at that gem cost?

The Moulder Packmaster's cost will be up in cost next version. Giant Rats do pretty much suck and run away after a few casualties though.

The Plague Priest's scepter will be changed. I'll give him decay on it probably.

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it. Future versions should be much improved, as with all my mods.
