I think I like Dr P's mod. It seems to make mid-game power come pretty quick, but doesn't make mid-game strategies obsolete too quickly. (Says the guy who's always barely shuffling into midgame when everyone else is pooping tarts.)

I prefer DrPraetorious mod as well, I think it would make for a better game.

But, respect whatever choice Xietor makes.

I like Dr. P's mod as well, as long as the 1st level spells can be set at normal. Having 1st level spells on very difficult is all well and good when you are playing the Niefel Giants, but when you are man trying to fend off said niefel Giants, you want lightning as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, that is not possible.

It *is* possible to set the level 1 spells to level 0 - and I think this is a good idea, myself. But there's no intermediate setting for them.

I was also thinking of setting the level 1 spells to level 0. I can't think of anything unbalancing about it. Just seems a bit strange.

As Llamabeast points out, it is the same amount of research to get to level 2. And you do not get anything at level 1 that is going to slow down a good rush nation anyway.

So after being enlightened, I am fine with Dr. P's mod unless
we get a storm of objections.

Incidentally, it has been brought to my attention that LA Ulm is not in use.

People may not have noticed this - but LA Ulm got a *big* power boost in the latest patch. The new black priests are extremely powerful, especially in combination with the cool national spells they've been given. LA Ulm will still require finesse to play, but with a forge bonus on E(ESFA) units, you can do some real damage.
