The one change Dom2 really needs.....

Otherwise it is i think too hard to balance them because they become either totally cost ineffective or are still a good choice .

As I discussed with Zen the cost effectiveness of all hoarding stratgies is almost completely dependent upon the size of the map. On a 100 province map with 5 players you would have to be insane to hoard.

On a 400 province map you are crazy not to hoard.

Sadly the engine does not support items costing different amounts on different maps currently.
