elephants grouped with hyperists, are a powerful against smaller units. They are certainly more powerful than a guardian unit from ulm(who also has a crappy mr), and in certain situations better than the KOA.

You are correct they are vulnerable to smite, mind blasts, astral magic, but they can trample some very powerful units as well. Units that otherwise are very hard to kill(double blessed vans). They fight to the bitter end when grouped with hyperists and they do get lots of afflictions, but arcos. can heal those.

The LA Marignese high/grand inquisitor seems a bit overpriced at 210 for an oldage F1H3. The normal inquisitor is 110 and has the same abilities with only one less level of holy (F1H2).

Oh and did you mean for LA agartha to not have Agarthan infantry (not the heavy or light variants) as recruitables?

I figure it's a bug, but maybe there's some reason.

Sombre, what are you talking about? LA Agartha does have the basic Agarthan Infantry (unit 1355) as recruitable and so does MA Agartha. Both had it in 3.06 already and nothing has changed in that regard with the new patch.

I have no idea about the new patch, but either my copy of Conceptual Balance Mod is different from yours,... or we're interpreting the title of this thread differently. When I say 'did you mean for X' I'm referring to QM and the Conceptual Balance Mod.

Attached is a screenshot of the CBM LA agartha recruitment screen with a piece of 'code' from the CBM dm file. No 1355 there.

Ah, sorry, my mistake. Got confused for a moment. The Agarthan infantry is available in the vanilla game, so their omission from the CB seems strange. Especially since that unit is hardly a balance issue in and of itself.

No problem, I probably should have posted my comments in the mod forum CBM thread anyway.
