Re: Treelords in Conceptual Balance
What about the Nature itself, if the treelords happen to be somewhat less egoistic embodiments of the etenral forces than the spirit of the Oracle?
Anythign can be axplained away with magic. Some things just conjure so strange images to our minds that they are best left alone, EVEN if they could be logically explained. It's the opposite of urban legends and myths, IMO - they are believed to be true without any proof, often even though they can be logically disproved.

Re: Treelords in Conceptual Balance
One thing I do like about non-immobile, arm instead of misc slot treelords is it would be a fairly unique in terms of gameplay and strategy - a powerful unit but restricted to forest terrain (yes you could empower with astral but that has its own weakness).
Personally I can imagine a fountain and a tree flying around on a carpet, or anything else.

Except for the fact that, last I tried, Faery Trod isn't restriced to Forests. Or was it Call of the Wild? Any way, something didn't work as it should have.

Re: Treelords in Conceptual Balance
Call of the Wild isn't, while I'm almost positive that Faery Trod is; I've had treelords casting it and they were limitted in where they could go.

I kink of think that even in a fantasy game, book, or movie, there needs to be some internal logic and limitations based upon some premis. Otherwise eveything is just arbitrary, which ultimately is boring. A lot of kludge game balancing takes place because the authors didn't really give thought to creating natural limitations.
