Question about Ulm and iron faith

sure, and I think the MP frequency of these themes will be a good indicator on how they are balanced (or not). Because MP is a very competitive environment, where people make tests before playing.

I was a bit cooled down on theme, after having tried Blood of Human Desert Tombs, and then Serpent Cult. Serpent Cult is not that bad, but compared to regular Pythium dont stand in power. If themes are only there for SP, because they are underpowered, then it would be a pity.

I have faith that the themes will get better balanced once the full game is out, and more people have a chance to fully explore them

Besides why not have a PBEM where each nation has to take a theme? A non-standard nation matchup or whatever you want to call it. Not every MP game has to be an open format

Anyway, there's always idiots like me who prefer to use the themes for 'personal' reasons, even if it would appear to be a disadvantage
