I would have to agree

Hmm, perhaps linking reanimation to growth would justify a high growth scale. Then growth would always be 3. Now its always 2.

No big difference in practice, but it might make you feel good when you pay the design points

My mistake, you're absolutely right. It seems my memory isn't what it once was, I probably spent too much time playing with that Void Gate

Isn't reanimation already linked to growth for some high level enchantments (Enchanted Woods etc.)?

Why not give CW one of those as a national spell? If Niefelheim can have Illwinter...

Anyway, I think part of the problem with CW is that the capitol-only troops are difficult to use with a rotting core. Why not remove capitol restrictions from them? Or provide a +resource site at the capitol that allows them to be built even after the population has been killed by the destructive dominion?

An even more radical idea: the dominion is dangerous to HUMANS, but CW's own population isn't human. So it only kills outside your borders (something similar to Desert Sun, Heart of Winter, Restless Worshippers). But that gets into the whole issue of how, when Caelum conquers a province of 25,000 Abysians, they all start to prefer cold +3. I don't think there's really a good solution to that.

I really like the flavour of CW, but I agree it's somewhat troublesome to play even in SP. One of the things I would like to see is to have black centaurs recruitable everywhere if the dominion stays this destructive. If the requirement is a fort and a temple, even the provinces that will be able to build them apart from the capitol one will not be able to do so for long, since the population will die out. Add to that the fact that they will probably need to be commanded by the nature mage because of the supply issues in you own provinces, and IMHO this change will merely result in another option that you can use, while not being overpowering at all.

How fortunate then that you came within my beneficial dominion and your feeblemindedness was cured.
