Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

[Inigo Montoya]

I stick with my suggestion to increase the resource cost of MA Vanheim vans to 32. This slows them down in the early game by 50%. I hate to nerf all sacred units (decreases bless strategy diversity), or require that MA vans be built capital-only (decreases national diversity).

Sticking to the OP, my position is MA Vanheim is overpowered. If you make their vans capital-only, you are nerfing them by hurting their late game, but you don't diminish their early double bless rush effectiveness. If you increase their resource cost (or perhaps both gold and resource cost), you are hurting their early game and to a lesser extent their late game. It feels more balanced to me to up their resource cost and it actually feels more accurate to pay more resources for vans for what you get (lance, javelin, horse, etc).
