It makes little sense to be "penalized" for getting good. And the Vastness is certainly a better summon than even 2 GOs. IMO. Please reconsider the "logic" of making what is arguably the best summon in the game so awkward to get. If you want to make them rare, then skew the chances so that you need higher skill to get them. Not the current system where you only need skill 9-14 or so (which isn't that hard to do), and then after that you lose the ability to get what you've earned. The Vastness should be a reward for luck and diligence. Personally, I'd gladly trade a dozen-plus of my GOs for another one.
I wouldn't mind a restriction of 1 vastness at a time, even. A vastness can take out most armies I've seen...

Alternately, if every vastness alive decreased the vastness summoning chances (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, ...) that would work just as well.

If high summoning skill let you mass vastnessess... Rlyeh would generally win at around turn 50, if it could simply survive that long, without even expanding. And was lucky.
