Things Kristoffer Ostremann forgot to double

I think some more things should be doubled to keep up with doubled resource and gold income.

If understand correctly, gold&resource income was doubled to encourage more national units. I still wonder if it doesn't boost mages more, seeing as they cost only gold.

Gems to Gold alchemy costs were not doubled. Any reason for this ? Was it really necessary to halve effectiveness of alchemy ?

Supply bonuses for Nature mages were not doubled, I think. But Nature magic may not need further buff, with old age resistance and more.

Mages can still lead the same amount of fairies/undead per level.

Some magic sites are two times worse now. Ones like Farm of Plenty, and probably gold mines and other Earth sites.

Is there anything else ?

Leadership on some units should be doubled as well I think. 10 troops in Dom3 is not nearly the same as 10 troops in Dom2.

Mages need castle slots and castles are ~doubled. Mages certainly benefitted less then the regular troops.

Supply bonuses from nature are doubled, from 5 to 10.

Magic and undead leadership primarily apply to summoned creatures. Since gems are the same and research reduced, why would they be increased?

Leadership on regular commanders was ~doubled, from 10-25-50-75-125 to 10-40-80-120-180.

I think that we need maximum indie strenght doubled as well. Indies with strenght 9 (current max) are much easier to overcome now when you can field larger armies. Makes sense to be able to go above 9 for games that have 20+ provinces for each player.

I second that. Indepstr doesnt really make difference whether it is set 1 or 4, for example. It could scale better imho.

Well, I still think alchemy (gem to gold) and magic sites (Farm of Plenty, mines) need doubling. I'm pretty sure Farm of Plenty still provides 50 supply.

What? There is a call for "Gandalfs Insane Padded Campaign Maps" already? Maybe I should reinstitute the project to make it more sensible in placing the units?

I would also like the option to set independents above 9.

Why double alchemy? for one fire gem you can summon just as much as you could in dom 2. And for 15 gold you can recruit just as much as you could in dom 2.

Heh, it would be a bit hardcore, especially in SP.

Anyways as a possible option, it sounds like a good idea indeed.
