Um, no, I cannot think of a game format I would like to play less than this one, except for the same settings with no mods...

Plus, I am not getting in any more games until after my trip to France. And maybe Dom 3 will be out by then and Dom 2 is history.

[PashaDawg]

When do we expect Dom 3 to be out?

Soapy asked me if we want to play with an anti-hoard mod. Me + Aku didn't plan to hoard in this game (it is hard to believe i know ) so we didn't think on the issue cause we thought without wish hoarding is not such a big deal. Now giving it a closer thought it is though: A clamhoarder could cast Arcane Nexus and get insane amounts of further gems and then just spam hordes of mech men or banelord thugs etc.. Though not as nasty as hoarding + wishing still quite nasty.
I would personally like to play with an anti-hoard mod also.

So please everybody post what you want and as soon as we have a simple majority (9 of 17 players) we will play with this setup.

P.S.: Huzurdaddi i gave you atm the claim for both caelum and marignon cause i guess you would rather play caelum if we chose to play without an anti-hoard mod and marignon vice versa so that you can decide then

Edit: Aku suggested that we could disable the forge of ancients. Imho this would be an interesting idea.
Without forge we could leave blood stones as they are and would only need to slightly balance clams and fever fetishes.

So the above poll is obsolete and we start a new one:
Question 1:
Disable Forge of Ancients?
Question 2:
Which Hoard items should be nerfed?

You cant hoard blood or death gems so my vote will just be on clams and fetishes. Wish is disabled in zens spell mod so we cant wish for blood or gems so I think the only concern is clams and fetishes. It also raised vampire lords to 77 slaves to cast.

Faerun is going to be a long game so if we nerf clams and fetishes to lets say 20w10s for a clam and 10f10n for a fetish they would still be feasible to use for a very long term strat but not the only strat to use. Or some other combination of gems to make them whatever someone can think better.

So my vote is:

2/1 and 2/2

I also vote we disable forge of the ancients since that is just a hoarding tool anyway.

Edit:
New vote with the better "poll"

1. Disable Forge
2. With disabled Forge Bloodstones are hard to hoard.
So only clams+fetishes need to be balanced.
I would suggest clams cost 20w now and fever fetishes 5n and 20f.
The strange fever fetish cost is because first i planned 10n and 5f as cost but this way machaka could do them very easy but no other nation. This would be unfair but with 5n and 20f machaka has to get lucky also with the random and still needs 1 firebooster. So they would still be an investment but would have a longer paybacktime also.
