Re: Thoughts on balancing MA Oceania
What are your thoughts on a Kydnid-spam strategy?
I know Kydnids are normally ignored ("Summon Naiad Warriors," Conj5, W3N1, 30W(!) to cast) but each casting gets you fifteen Awe+3 amphibious heavy infantry with recuperation.
1) It's castable underwater, so 25% of your Capricorns can do it w/o boosters
2) It's in the Conjuration tree, which you'll definitely be researching as an underwater nation
3) They aren't unreasonably priced (2W per Kydnid) and as an underwater nation you can swing the steep 30W pricetag
Regardless, I agree that MA Oceania is weak, and would propose changing the Capricorn randoms from (100% +1 AEWN, 10% +1AEWN) to (100% +2 AEWN) as a means to rebalance them. This would allow the Capricorns to take their Earth and Air magic on shore, and access Falling Frost & Bone Melter w/o boosters, giving them a fighting chance up there.
Thoughts?
