Does no one think of poor marigon? My poor inquistors are all old men

A 10 blood slave cost for every single mage you recruit is not trivial. It's a massive cost that will become 30 or 40 slaves per turn at a minimum.

Infinitely cheaper than those nations who are stuck with something they can't do anything about - miasma, death dominions, loss of power on land and so forth.

What's so bad with miasma? they cant recruit sages or indeps but have many mages and summons immune to disease.

I wasn't saying miasma was bad. The point is you can't easily work around the detrimental effects.

ok

I'll read more carefully next time

Why should there be any kind of balancing factor? Abysia was certainly not anywhere close to overpowered in Dom2, being a fire nation, so why was it necessary to nerf them, (And Marignon), so terribly in Dom3?

I think it was a nerf targetted at anyone who thinks Death scale is free points, which was a lot of Dom2 players.

Now any nation that has recruitable old mages, and there are plenty, has to think long and hard if they really need those points from death scale bad enough to live with the side effects.

I'm guessing MA marigon is ignored in this subject on aging,considering that all their normal inquistors are old men,as well as their mages,if I remember correctly the youngest natural mage had old age as well,and unlike abysia,this nation does not have blood hunting capabilities like abysia to forge boots

I thought 100% poison resistance stopped Miasma?

I don't think so. A lot of PR pretenders get diseased by the second or third turn.

Swamp Survival stops Miasma. Nothing else. Though undead/demon get the Diseased affliction, it doesn't actually affect them.
