There are plenty of nations where one could make the argument that more units should be capital only if you are going by where they are trained. Units should really only be made capital only if there is a compelling balance reason that they should be.

That too. My main point is that Man is actually a pretty interesting E/N bless nation (aside from the old age on best mages thing).

I'd say it would be better if their mages would be somewhat improved instead of making Wardens recruitable everywhere. Another thing which is bad about them is that capital-only (which is thematically sound!) Daughters are not very usable. Maybe thay should get some interesting bonus...
Speaking of which, I noted that C'tis Hierodulae got a price drop, seemingly in an attempt to make them somewhat useful. I think this is wrong approach - they aren't bad because they are pricy for what they do, they are bad because C'tis has much more useful commanders. I'd offer to give them an ability in line with their main function - make them domsummon lizard troops, possibly including elite ones: Temple Dancers and Princes.

Hierodules replace Miasma-vulnerable indy priests for C'tis--cheap, weak H1s, useful for temple-building and blesses in minor battles that don't warrant a H3 caster or when the nation can't afford one. The few times I've played MA C'tis, I've recruited 1 or 2 in the expansion phase, then never again, but I was glad to have those 1 or 2 so my prophet could do other things.

Man would definitely benefit from better mages. Less severe old age and better randoms on the crones would do it, even.

Well, C'tis isn't only Miasma. I actually meant more EA, which I tried in SP some days ago (though LA is Miasma-free, too). And it has recruitable everywhere H2 priest and a Prince - priest-thug with map move 3. And I think that even in Miasma if all what you need is cheap temple-builder, you don't necessarily need Hierodula - especially if you'd have to move her across the map. What I offer gives her a unique niche.
