Default Re: Two new MODs from me

>Sounds like order 3, growth 3, productivity 3, some sort of castle... and anything that's left on the god. With scales that strong I can't imagine taking any negatives or wasting points on a god.

Yes, however the problem I see now is players spending everything on their god instead of wasting points on scales.

These scales are similar to Dom1, as Keir suggested. I have never hidden that I don't like the Dom2 scales. The Dom1 scales worked just fine and weren't too extreme then, and as such really are too extreme now. Just different.

It's my feeling that this makes choices hard on the players. No easy picks like order-misfortune. No picking two 9s in magics at the cost of death-3 sloth-3 for that unimpressive 6% income hit.

My goal is not to spite gods. It's to make all choices viable and interesting. No matter what you choose, you aren't getting something else valuable, whether it's god magic or luck scale. That's what I want. Hard choices because everything is good.


Try the mod once it's available. I think you'll find it more balanced than you think. At the least, luck is now a useable scale.
