I think the new nations benefit from the power inflation phenomenon (I just invented that term seen in all gaming.
Do you really think so? Fomoria, Eriu and Tir Na N'og aren't weak but Fomoria is no Niefelheim (straightforward brute power) and Eriu is no Helheim (ditto). I suspect you're thinking of Hinnom/Ashdod (and maybe Lanka from a while back), and that's not enough to support a trend.

I do think it's possible that KO's love for the source material led to stuffing a lot of stuff into Hinnom/Ashdod, which may need to be balanced by a gcost fix at some point. KO has said before that gcost tends to come at the end of unit design as a secondary issue.
