Minor Logical Inconsistencies

Now, about the lobsters...yes, that would work, but
A)It costs only one half of what an elephant costs for Arcoscephale and one-fourth in resources, even though (besides perhaps void summons) it is the largest amphibian unit available to either of the underwater races. A bit of a good deal for a trampler.

I believe that the Atlantis Lobster is "Aquatic" and not "Amphibious", which helps to balance the unit.

I think it is size 6 because it rides on a lobster (size 5). So you can imagine this being a special Lobster for the Pretenderthat is bigger perhaps.

Or, this may be a balance mechanism, to prevent the underwater Version of Arch Mage from being trampled, and allow it to trample all other smaller units, including Lobsters (suggesting an uber size Lobsters as the Mage's steed...)

Just guessing... It is perhaps worthy of a note that all underwater-only Pretenders are size 6 except Nerid at size 5 (not counting ghost kings, wyrm, lich, and master lich because they are available for land nations as well)

if freak lord is size six it's a good pretender cause of it immune to wind ride w00t.

Guardians of the Pyre should not be size 3. They do not have two morningstars as lava warriors.

Lava warriors need room to simultaneously swing their two morningstars.

War lords are exeptionally large. A legacy from the 'children of flames' of ancient times (more on this at a later date).

Drilling seems a bit wierd, but it is probably the heat of the dominion that causes rock to melt and moats to fill with lava and not deep core mining. I havn't visited the border cities of Abysia.

Freak lord is now size 5 (2.11).

Moloch has wings. A human would not fit in the same square. He would be fanned and flinged into another square if he tried to hide under the wings of the Moloch. A vaetti or Hoburg Champion on the other hand is short enough not to be flipped in the head.

Does "now" mean that 2.11 is out?? (Just checked: obviously, the answer is "no". Ok sorry.)

I dont find the things you mentioned to be logical inconsistencies.
A logical inconcistency, however, could be the fact that money can be used by all persons in all provinces everywhere simultaneously, that the "lab" is manifested everywhere at once (along with your money) but resources arent, that I can alchemize gems to money in province Q and use that money to build a temple somewhere completely different. I think these are all fine for game and balance reasons, but it is sort of funny.

Abysian Salamanders are already weak, please don't make them capital-only in addition !
I've no problems either with big Abysians and Lobsters : however I suppose Freak Lord could/should be smaller (4 ?)
