Balance on small maps

Sure, that is a point. Perhaps the blitz playing population is a small percentage of the dom3 buyers. But settings cant fix it, unless we gain a setting like 'disable L9 blessing untill the pretender is awake / out of prison'.

Settings can't unless something is changed. As I posted earlier in this thread, Helhirdlings are only slightly more
expensive than other sacred cavalry that is clearly inferior to them (even if Rejuvenation is a nice ability). Increased price, as an example, and perhaps lower def and/or loss of stealth, could help. These can be changed in mods. That drastic changes aren't probably needed.

More like 6, since they cant afford higher dominion, but it doesn't matter.

Fire 9, Water 9 and Dominion 10 CAN be done by both Vanheim and Helheim, thanks to Father of Winters who starts with Water 2, Dominion 3 and for whom new paths cost only 50 points.

Fall in the First Year, or turn 8, I had 8 Helhirdings in the first expansion force, 10 in the second (they lost one) and 14 in the third. I only took Misfortune 1, and lucked out in getting a hero to lead the third group, otherwise I'd only have had 12 in that one. 30 Helhirdings with F9W9 on turn 8 is bad enough.


You did a nice job explaining why arrows won't work against Glamour. I don't like the result, but you presented them well.
