Re: Balance opinions II
Two reasons: The scale settings that do almost nothing border on buggy, and a more powerful magic scale makes extreme blessings harder.
As for the celestial master, it was a non-serious option, though I suppose it does serve to see how many people did not read the poll carefully/were not actually familiar with CB.

Re: Balance opinions II
I thought you meant that the celestials should have an extra 10% of getting F/A/W/E/S/D/N/B.
Though I didn't vote for it anyway, so it doesn't really matter what I thought

Re: Balance opinions II
On a poll the wording is very important otherwise people will vote for the wrong thing. Thats why politicians argue over the wording on any referendum poll.

I guess I can see that. But magic-3 giving +3 research sounds insane! I think that would be a major turnoff for me, since I can't imagine ever not taking it - which feels like a loss of choice. |

Re: Balance opinions II
I agree, a +3 research bonus is a no brainer

Re: Balance opinions II
I understand that's what it's supposed to be. Magic 3 is a no-brainer, but you can't afford the same bless any more.
Of course, it also affects all other nations, some of which could really use the help. MA Ulm, as an example.

Re: Balance opinions II
Booster item costs and indy commanders shouldn't be together. I really like changes to indie commanders and spies. You really have to use your own commanders and it should be like that.
P.S. I would like to see air boosters cheaper than in vanilla.

This is more or less true, but magic 1 or drain 2 is pretty much a no brainer base game, so I'm not sure it really harms much. The impact on Ulm is not much either, since base game other nations can take drain 2 without much trouble, the Ulm drain bonus is quite marginal. |

Re: Balance opinions II
Magic 2 and 3 will need some sort of boost if it was kept to same rates as base game. Perhaps a % chance to get good events would be nice.
