armies will own the map under these settings, and will be impossible to stop without an army of your own.

I think this particular game (set of mods) is just about it.

Bogus and his band will complain of this changes.

On the subject of life drain weapons, they are MUCH too cheap in the base game. The reason is not so much the life stealing as the fatigue stealing! You never get fatigued when using life drain but the enemy trops get fatigued very quickly. That makes life drain far stronger than the mere damage it delivers. Dropping the strength of the weapon thus does not fix this mistake.

Zen nerfed them because all the top players built mostly life drain weapons for all their SCs and even mini-SCs. Making the weapons more expensive would open up a lot more options for other weapons, just as it should be.

Ever notice that Gaap is the best Ice Devil simply because he comes with a Hell Sword? And the guy with the no hand slots (can't remember his name) is not very good because you can't give him a Blood Thorn? I have...

I am pretty sure the devs will correct this problem in Dom 3.

Yeah if life drain weapons didnt steal fatigue, they'd be fine.

I'm going to bow out. The combination of rich setting and the super buff to Abysia are too much of an advantage.

I am glad that the game was set to rich though. I never would have tested some of the nations ( Abysia in particular ) unless something like that had happened.

I'm going to bow out also. I don't think I could stay interested during a long game playing BE Ermor.

This map is just too big for these settings. Even if you can find 17 people willing to start the game, I would predict that at least 8 will drop out by elimination or quitting before Turn 50. It always happens that way on big maps when the game becomes tedious.
