Default Re: New Mod game: Amoscalypse Now

Heh. The Angelic Crusade Pretender you describe costs 455 points. Sure, you can
build him. And then you're either stuck waiting for him to show up, or you end up
playing a nation with really crappy scales, and that's without any magic paths.
And the troops of Angelic Crusade may be strong, but not "out of this world,
freaking insane, gifted with incomprehensible stats" which is what Stygian
Corruption troops are. No, Angelic Crusade is a nation that would take some
finesse to play, especially if you want to be viable in late game.

As for Urdheim, did you see me mentioning them when I talked about a world where
Sylvania could survive? Yes, they are grossly overpowered. Nikolai insulted hem
by putting them at 25, but then, he had chosen them, hadn't he? Still Urdheim
are not in the same category. Urdheim does not have units with defense 37 (WTF?)
human warriors who are given defense 17 (just because they are so elite)
berserking tramplers with encumberance 1, regeneration, and immunity to mind
attacks (because of course tramplers are so underpowered that they really need
these three weaknesses removed) Even their deformed freaks have strength 23 and
berserk +3, twice a human's hps, twice the attacks, recuperation... for the
well researched and very appropriate price of a human elite.

Urdheim's units are quite underpriced, and his summoners are too numerous.
Stygian Corruption's units do not belong in Dominions III.
