Re: Exalted Mod
Pshaw, game balance is for the weak and sickly.
Even in the age of the Ascension Wars, the Exalted weren't MEANT to be balanced, and doing this to them seriously impairs their style.
Go overboard. Then make the Exalted nation a theme which costs 800 or so points, ensuring only impossible difficulty AI, players in insanely high point value modded games, etc. actually get to play them*.
Nothing quite as fun as having 16 player-controlled nations go up against one Exalted nation(Probably also player-controlled) in a desperate bid to make the world a saner, not quite so manga-Earthdawn-mock-WoD place. Y'know, Paradigm Shift(TM) or whatever.
Besides, if you absolutely must make them a balanced nation like any other, you could always give them an "Exalted --" theme*, and come up with some cliched explanation about how nobody believes in fairies anymore, and so the Exalted aren't anywhere near the 800 point special-scenario-or-ubernation-only juggernaut they once were. Either make them weaker, or weaken an existing, mere mortal nation and compensate by giving them the mostly-endgame-related wildcard that is the Exalted, as insanely expensive capitol-only commanders, or high gem cost national summons, with upkeep.
Go on, you know you want to.
* Well, not a theme, those aren't actually moddable yet... just make each of their pretender Chasses cost base cost+800 points.
** OK, not a theme. You get the idea.
