Re: Most balanced game settings?
I like indie strength 7, it makes them pretty formidable so that early expansion is not a cakewalk. The difference between 6 and 7 is imo greater than e.g. between 7 and 8.
As for magic sites, depedns on map size. On large maps, 30, 35 or 40 tops. Any more and there will be no call at all for national armies if research is normal. Having difficult research and a site frequency of 30 means that you really need to focus on what to do and when and prevents the early SC rush. The downside is that blood magic gains more prominence, because blood slave income is not tied to site frequency.
