I'll start from the bottom.

seems a bit expensive for what they do... they can't really lower cold in provinces can they?
|
The towers act as factories for frigates and stationary prophets. They should be able to spread the dominion and the cold with it.

your commanders seems a bit cheapish in gc (20 for a 40 leader, 30 for a 80 leader and 60 for a 160 leader, I know you don't balance to vanilla but this is a bit strange to me) The mages seem cheapish too I must say high magic very low priced, even with a forge bonus on one of them.

The commanders are pretty balanced in my opinion. Their stats are low except for leadership. Try a game with them and you will see.

Is it intended that the turret has 4 cannons with 4 shots per turn each (12 dmg AP)
|
Yes it is intentional. It was an experiment and I liked it so much that I decided to leave it in the game. The regular soldiers dont have any ranged weapons. The only ranged weapons they get in the early game are stationary. I thought it was cool.

I wonder why the warden is so much more expensive he has a blade that deals less damage for 1 defense more (seems like a elite troops could have a better weapon) and his stats are all the same except his patrol 2 bonus.. and that makes him cost 5 extra?? (I hardly patrol myself and would rather have extra soldiers for that cash if that is the only benefit)
|
Warden has higher moral, basic attack and defense besides the patrol bonus. So, I thought he should have an appropriate price. They are situational soldiers so you might not even use them in your game. In large numbers they should be good at warding off the assassins in your mage heavy provinces.

Amos, isn't parry 14 very high?
I'm not really into the shield balancing but rdonj was complaining of to effective shield when I gave a shield parry value 4.. and yours are 14..
not to mention they end up with a defense value of 24.
|
Since the Commonwealth soldiers dont have ranged weapons I thought it would be appropriate that they would have a very good defense against them. Troops with energy shields have very low level of armor so it balances out.

but if I remember correctly KO once said that a parry value of 8 always catches missiles.

They still get slaughtered sometimes(very rare occurrence) by effective ranged troops even with their high shields, so "always" is incorrect.
