Default Re: Conceptual Balance Mod 1.41

I propose that LA C'tis have all their national summons H level increased by one (at the very least)

reason:
LA C'tis is supposed to be a reanimate power that depends on these guys; ergo they should be a good deal, but as people have pointed out they are not.

consider this direct comparison:

LA Argatha can summon a Tomb Oracle at Conj5 for 30death with 3E 3D 3H and a ton of hitpoints, plus their are not `lifeless' and can benefit from regen; these guys can also reanimate.

LA C'tis can summon a Tomb King at Ench0 for 21death with 3H and a lot (but not a ton) of hitpoints, but they are lifeless and cannot regen; these guys can, of course, reanimate.

The only reason that no one cares that Tomb Oracles can reanimate is because they are so good no one would ever waste a turn doing that with them. For 9 more gems they get a ton more stuff. granted, they are Conj5 vs Ench0, but given the gem cost (ie. you won't summon either of these guys for a little while anyway) and the fact that Conj5 isn't really that difficult to access, I don't think the research requirement difference is really meaningful. Lastly, LA Argatha has other things they can benefit from such that Tomb Oracles do not have to be an integral part of their strategy (LA C'tis cannot, I believe, say the same thing about their tomb summons). Given these points, C'tis' tomb summons really need a push.

Conclusion:
do something to make Tomb Kings/Priests/Consorts on par with at least other national summons!!! one extra level of H would be nice, perhaps a possible random in death too.

I have noticed that some Giants (Niefel Jarls + EA Sacred, Hinnom Ashdod & Hinnom Rephaim, Gath Anakim, the Rasharaja) have speed 3. I think this is an unnecessary advantage and odd too, why should these giants be as quick overland as most cavalry and fliers?
