EA Tempest - Game Finished - Dimaz Wins!!!

[Executor]

Well I look forward to seeing the new CBM Llama, but I'm not really optimistic about it to be honest. I kinda agree with Dimaz.
I'm convinced that the hammers are a lesser of two evils (the other one being hugely unbalanced item prices), including blood rods. They might overpower blood magic but at least all nation can use blood equally.

Now as for item price regulation in the new CBM, so far I looked at it from a construction rusher point of view. The current 1.8 CB version almost eliminates the point of rushing artifacts as you can't afford to forge them even when you hit const 8 first, which I find ridiculous as the whole point of risking to rush construction and not researching battle or summoning spells so that you can snatch the best artifacts is sort of obsolete.
