Re: Late Era Team Game
I disagree that the PoD should be nerfed, because I don't think SC gods are grossly overpowered compared to bless-chassis gods (at least for the bless nations.) Rainbows and titans may also need boosting, as a class, but nerfing the PoD does nothing to help that problem.
The *other* SC chassis, which are seldom used, need to be made more powerful, rather than nerfing the prince of death, ***WYRM*** and cyclops.
Possibilities:
* Heat from hell or a natural fire shield for the Moloch?
* The various dragons could have a decent base dominion strength. They are dragons, after all.
* The shedu could have glamour.
etc.
P.S. - I don't have a PoD, I have a triple-bless oracle instead.

Re: Late Era Team Game
Pythium's pretender is named Doctor Death. Want to take a wild guess what he is?

Re: Late Era Team Game
It is easier to nerf a few than boost a hundred  and I'm more interested in making new stuff than altering old stuff.
I'm inclined to call my PoD overpowered since he is able to take innumerable provinces without risk of loosing his ability to take more. Flying, fear, (awe) and survivability through high stats is a bit overkillish.
My crippled god is still as functional as he was in the beginning, much due to awe and fear. It bothers me.
I like the fireshielded Moloch though. There is a new fireshield on appropriate units (seraph, ophanim etc, but not elementals and other sprites with a drawn fire).
Actually I do like the occasional boost, but I can't see myself going through them all.

Now, lets try another angle.
What gods are used as bless-chassis? |

Re: Late Era Team Game
Water and earth really are the most popular blesses. I'd say they get abused about equally, it's just there is a slightly wider range of pretenders to do water with. The other important distinction is that the earth ones also tend to be awake for SCing. The oracle is mostly just there because it's the easiest to duel bless with.

Re: Late Era Team Game
ZOMG oh noes, someone could *win*! We can't have that.
Beware thou the terrible Nerf Bat, which comes in the night and strikes down the proud and the powerful.
I'm much more concerned with balance between overall strategies (Supercombatant vs. Bless, for example,) than with balance among chassis choices. There is infinite room for cool powers, and more are always welcome - so if a given chassis never gets used, give it cool stuff until people want to play it.
