my suggestions, choose some, not necessarly all :
- allow magical scale, so that Newt can be used as good researcher.
- add an astral gem to the 4 fires.
- reduce by 1 or 2 gold the humanbred cost
- give 40 additional DP, or let heat 3 possible.
- give a new unit, a level 1 blood human mage, recruitable everywhere.
- give 1-2 free slaves a turn (the human virgins are more available now)

thank you for your attention. Discussion welcome (but please test the 2 themes before!).

Hmm, I agree. Blood of humans was the Last added and least tested theme. Thus it has not been tweaked to compensate for the thematic losses of the theme.

Of your suggestions I am more in favor of the changes that goes with the theme (more humans, diluted essence of the fire magic). DP i find less attractive as it is a mechanical tweak, the same goes for the HB cost, although this is a more thematic change. Greater focus on blood magic is not bad, as this could be a way to compensate for lost fire magic, but a cheap blood mage is a very powerful thing to add if it is recruitable everywhere.

It takes some pondering.
