Re: This seems a little too good...
Awe/Fear combo works well, too. Of course, going to high dominion is expensive, and that means you aren't getting something else you could have. Awe is good against independents, good against many national units, and weak or useless against many other national units and most summons. It also doesn't help against Archers.
BTW, Gorgon used to be Medusa, and had the petrification ability but not the icon for it.

Re: This seems a little too good...
The mechanics of it didn't change at all? I never noticed that many people dying trying to attack her, guess I should have payed more attention. I agree that awe has its downsides, it really only functions as a backup when petrification doesn't go off and the combo seems really powerful for something I didn't have to monkey with my scales to get and could use from turn 1.

Re: This seems a little too good...
Gorgon/Medusa could be sweet in Dom2 as well. Main problem is that you have to take her into melee to use her auto-kill, and her HPs were low enough that she could easily die.

High dominions isn't that expensive for some nations.

Re: This seems a little too good...
I'd played with Medusa in Dom2 and while her hp were low, with Earth/Nature paths Ironskin/Invulnerability and Regen were easy enough that she had little trouble with normal troops.
Petrification is probably the most brutal aura. Probably a good thing it's only(?) available with the Gorgon. Kind of a shame she's another example of SC/bless platform combination.

Re: This seems a little too good...
One artifact also gives the petrification ability, and there might be few unique monsters, but it's still a rare ability.
