Why isn\'t X ethereal?
Angels. I always thought Angels and the Virtue should be ethereal and have zero encumbrance.
Please add your own ideas!

Re: Why isn\'t X ethereal?
Vampires should probably get back their ethereal trait because they are quite vunerable now. In exchange for the ethereal trait vampires should receive one of the following punishments below:
1) cause population to drop since they have a strong desire to feed.
2) stats lowered for balance reasons... ethereal was removed because I assume they were viewed as too powerful previously.
3) each turn they lose 2hitpoints when leaving their original province the same as the blood lord and blood warriors... thus forcing them to be pushed into battle to steal more life.

Re: Why isn\'t X ethereal?
I think that it would be good to eliminate the 0 encumbrance from the game. Enc 1 instead.
Late game is overpopulated by Tartarians or any enc 0 commander. It has become over exploited.
If the argument is that undead never tire. Then some do. Count Dracula had to return to his coffin with earth form his lands every day.

Re: Why isn\'t X ethereal?
Cool idea, NT - you could copy the ability from the Harvester of Sorrow, but hopefully to a lesser degree. I agree Vampires got a bad break in Dominions 3.

Re: Why isn\'t X ethereal?
I believe that vampires were nerfed b/c the vampire queen was nerfed, b/c people thought the VQ was overpowered b/c somebody was cheating 
Ethereal never made sense to me for vampires, though. They're not like ghosts.
Invulnerability - a natural prot of 20 - would seem to make more sense to me. But that would be even more powerful than ethereal, I think.

Re: Why isn\'t X ethereal?
Maybe 20 prot, with a vunerability to fire?

"There is no death for me in fire" - Count Dracula
A vulnerability to shock would be more interesting, I think - and hardly anyone has it.

This depends on the historic source being referenced. Slavic reports vampires start out as an invisible shadow and then gradually gained strength from the blood it had sucked. Sounds pretty ethereal.
