Machaka: one request and one question

[tinkthank]

Hello, and thanks for answering so far.

I think I posted Last week asking if the "research stuck at 3" was a bug, and I couldnt find this thread, and did a search, and saw it was no longer there -- was that the thread that got deleted? (I was away over the weekend.) Did I do anything wrong to make it get deleted? (And does this "stuck at research 3 for one turn" happen only to me?)

Oh most helpful Wauthan: I would be happy to have the bane spider and his apprentices be non-capital and somewhat weakened, perhaps a point or two less defense and/or defense for a slightly smaller gold cost. The lesser spiders have a map movement of 1 (I think), one could consider giving the bane gentleman a similar 1-movement. I would not like to see the Ear become non-holy, regardless of his priestly powers, since a 70-cost spy is a bit much.

Tons of thanks.
