Default Re: KingMaker - let the Ascension War commence!

I did get a pm about why i did not ban the spell.

To be honest I did ban most of the "destroy the world spells like BOT, Utterdark, and one insanely overpowered spell, Arcane Nexus, as well as Astral Corruption(I had to penalize blood if I take away Arcane Nexus).

But I did forget about Illwinter. and likely some other national globals that also destroy the world.

But clams have been nerfed pretty hard. And without the Forge hammer, you pay a pretty hefty price for one. Unless you have one of the Worthy Heroes or a Pretender that has a forge bonus and you empowered him to have n and w paths.

And with very hard research, Wish did not occur early in the game. On turn 75 LA Agartha( I am assuming) who had a huge research lead the whole game and passive neighbors, was able to start cashing in on having all of the const 8 artifacts and a huge land area.

And games do have to end sometime. Unlike Burden of Time which is ridiculously easy to cast early in the game, Wishing for Armageddon on a very hard research setting with the clam super nerf is not easy to do. The game ideally should end by turn 100. If wishing for armageddons brings the end about quicker than seraphs, then I see nothing
broken about it.
