Houserule Lifedrain
As you can't take it away from them, it would mean banning a whole lot of units, ok, some units. What I'm against.

AFAIK all(?) those units have range-0 as they attack "bare-handed". That gives other units the chance to repel, and damage isn't that high as well (STR I think, while all life drain weapons are at least at STR+3..)

It would mean banning the spell as well, what can only be done for the first 5 turns of combat, so it wouldn't work.


suggested houserule: No bane venom charm !
It's still bugged and gives Exp for killed civilians..


Map choice
I would prefer 12 prov/player as well (72 overall), but how many maps are there in that size?
Mmmh, I could do a special version of Parganos - by cutting of some provinces from the upper edge !?

game settings proposal
Indies 7+, research at least difficult, sites 45-

My choice of nation:
Either Man, Machaka or TC.
