1. I think we should wait for the patch since many major changes coming, including battlefield enchantments ending when casting mage retreats.

2. I am fine with random nation selection that we had in perp, but i do think no one should play the same nation again. I also think people that played water races, should be forced to play a land race. In other words, i do not want to see musical chairs with same players still in the water, but with different nations.

3. I am for a mod that nerfs the hell out of gem producing items or a limit of 25 total per race.

4. I am for banning the few truly game ending spells.

5. I am not in favor of ending the game with artificial limits. At the point a clear winner emerges, most players will voluntarily step aside and crown him. But I do not think they should be forced to step down if they want to fight it out.
