Experimental Game - Outofthelab

[Illuminated One]

The statement that Kailasa can expand very effectively without troops does neither entail, that
a) Kailasa can't expand better with troops
b) Kailasa won't need troops later in the game
c) Other nations don't need armies

Therefore I fail to see where your statement 1 comes from.

Besides there is no contradiction between statement 1 and 2.
Only that you don't need something doesn't mean that you don't want it.

I'm fine with any discussion or critique (and some of your comments have already been taken aboard) but I don't like it if someone tries to get all smartass on me. Sorry if I interpreted that into your post.

Most of the things in this mod are in for a reason. Yep, it will change a lot, and it might go against my intention. But I don't like to jump to conclusions especially in a game like dominions and will wait until I see it work out before doing radical changes.
I don't believe in the less money=more mages argument. If you end up in a game with less provinces do you conquer your equally small neighbour only with mages? In any case what do you propose? More money? For having less micro?

SCs will be more powerful, yes, but totally overpowered? Let's see.
