I'm not completely convinced that the early game is broken, especially if the CB Scales mod is used. If you take a large blessing, you're paying the price with an imprisoned pretender and/or crappy scales. I'm against an artifical capping of blessings -- it doesn't add viable strategies, it removes them. Of course, if you're just taking about a house rule, go for it, but if you're talking about something you want to see in a patch or for Dom 4, I'd be against it.

As far as the elephants go -- it seems to me that a 100 gold unit should be pretty devastating. And they are, so I don't quite see the problem. If you're saying that they are too good for their cost, then the simple solution is to raise the cost (in gold or maybe resources). Perhaps to 120 gold, maybe even 150 if you think they're really broken. We shouldn't be making rules that apply only to a specific subset of units. The rules of the game should apply to all units, imo.

At 150 gold, elephants would be so expensive to employ that they had -better- be really effective, or no one would use them.
