If the front window of your car is broken and you change it to the back window, is the window still broken?
In that case I think "If this bottle is full and that bottle is empty and you pour half the wine from this bottle into that bottle, which bottle is empty and which isn't?" would be more accurate.

I can only hope that there isn't a finite amount of 'balance' for each nation and we can't get out a jug of water and fill up one of those glasses without having to pour out the other

Water? Real gods drink ambrosia!

It does kinda suck thatbase Pan cost 350, attract followers, AND have GGGEE?. I thought unit costs were based on stats. Oh well. Earth boots are easy to come by.

The Pan is hideously expensive as it is, so I can't see mich of a reason to raise its cost.

I think Pangaea was one of the worst factions in Dom 1. Not complete crap, but definitely bottom tier. I had alot of fun playing them, but boy did they stink.

In Dom 2 they're better, but still not good. It seems misguided to me to weaken them, regardless of whether NE Pangaea is worse. In fact I think something like Arralen's mod should be the default for Pangaea.

Could NE stand to be improved? You bet; but then this is true for many of the themes.

We're not interested in nerfing Pangaea. New Era might need a beef-up, but it will not be in magical power. Magic has seeped from the nation.
