Mod: Bretonnia, Knights of the Grail

2) Reduce the amount of freespawn to 2, but make the summons a bit better. Like Lord to 2 chain men-at-arms and Marquis to 2 Yeomen. I could reduce the gold cost of the leather men-at-arms further to see that they see use in Bretonnian armies.

I would have thought that might work reasonably well. I think that would be a sufficient change to make my "Recruit 3 marquis every turn and churn out freespawn like crazy" strategy pointless. It would be a shame to lose the freespawn altogether because you have done a good job of making it actually tempting to recruit commanders who aren't mages. Very few nations manage this and I think it is good.

NB I think both Burnsaber and I are using "freespawn" to mean "Summon Allies", somewhat incorrectly I realise.

PS Thanks for the hawk info Sombre, that's interesting.

Yeah, I think scaling back the numbers like that and forcing you to use the summon allies command is probably sufficient to make it fair, while still being useful. I don't think you need to worry about the price of leather men at arms though... 6 gold is pretty cheap as it is, that's already lower than almost anything in dom 3. They're plenty usable as chaff. Not as good as skavenslaves, but what is?
