Default Re: Age of Men: Themed Game

My fear with Jotunhiem is thier (relative to other recruitable commanders) high base hit points. It seems to me that it would be too easy for them to get over the critical point in terms of lifedrain. But then again I have to admit that my play experience with quality SCs is actually pretty limited. What do the more vetern players think?

That's a good suggestion about troop costs, Boron, but its too much work to check it. If you just say 1 mage per 25 troops, you can just count the mages and eyeball the troops or check the end of battle info. But if you have to go through and count each troop type and check its cost? That would make the house rule more trouble than it was worth.

Boron said:
Do you think jotunheim could be allowed then too ? Just niefelheim gets disallowed but i think a normal jotun commander hasn't a big edge compared to a tuatha or van .

2nd i would suggest the following rule instead of the 25 men rule :
Each mage has to bring with him troops worth 300 gold .
This encourages players to build expensive units also like hydras or knights .
