Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

[Calahan]

Tbh I haven't played or tested blood hunting under CBM 1.92's new Growth scale settings. But if the sort of results for patrolling pop loss that Executor and Valerius have been posting are true (and I have no reason to believe that they're not), then blood is no longer OP, as now it's just completely f*cked instead.

As if under G3 you can blood hunt any high pop province with insane numbers of hunters for an insignificant pop loss, then that just totally screws any game with a blood nation in it. The income mechanics of blood hunting and patrolling with taxes are pretty fuzzy (your income numbers lie to you), and it's usually the pop loss that's the problem with mass hunting and patrolling a single province. But if that's gone then it appears the sky's the limit. Blood for everyone! and CBM might need to add a few cloned mod nations to meet the demand. Lanka 1, Lanka 2, Lanka 3.

Not that I disagree w/ you. I just think it's worth mentioning that blood + gr8 scales get pawned by Armeggedon spam.

I wonder how much of blood's perceived OP actually translates to MP game wins. For instance, do blood nations dominate the HoF?

For reference here's the HoF nation wins statistics:
