Re: Padmassa, the Black Coven - Alpha
Ok, my very first reactions,.....
The conjurer seems sort of cheap, as does the circle master,.. possibly the high circle master too. I suppose this is to encourage using the magic heavy part of padmassa though. I still think maybe they could all be upped a touch. I'm also not entirely sure about the circle master description. I'm not really so po-faced that I can't appreciate a joke in the descriptions, I just think that when you're paying for a top level mage you want to stick with the (very flavoursome) feel of the other descriptions.
I think the Gray Man is also a bit underpriced. I mean as it stands I don't feel compelled to use the knights at all - with the GM you get a much stronger unit with lots of specials who has incredible morale - the weak point of padmassa generally. 50 gold is just too cheap - they aren't sacred (which fits) so you aren't limited by holy resources either when cranking them out.
I really like the combination of bad morale troops and a lack of reliable priests. It puts a new spin on things.
The other thing is that I think the thrall children shouldn't be buyable at all. I really think there should be some sort of child catcher leader who generates them as a domsummon instead - this would stop the AI using them as much (I'm sure they would cause the AI to mess up risk calculations etc) and limit their numbers in a less artificial way,.. it would also be fun to build up squads of child catchers to spawn the little buggers. Makes for a very evil and flavoursome leader unit too.
