Should the Prince of Death kill population?

If you make him cheap again and let him kill population, it won't balance him imho. Just add more min-maxing; Mictlan lives with Ermor-style dominions, and still manages to do more or less ok.
Maybe a slight cost reduction, and a Hinnom-style population-eating instead of Reaper effect. (He does not eat people, of course, just causes some deaths now and then). Because thematically, yes, it makes sense.

I like it. Reduce the cost back to 100, and add the reaper ability. It might be slightly better than the PoD now, IF players make careful use of him. Also I love the idea of an enemy PoD flying around as a raider, spreading death wherever he goes. Mechanically, it would encourage using the prince to attack, which is always a good thing.

Hmm, which nation would need a SC god for raiding?

If he killrd population he would be unattractive for taking indies/defence, which would be the main reason for taking a SC imo.

It is thematic, though.
