Default Re: Ooh, ooh, new info on patch page!

I am very appreciative of the fact that KO continues to update Dominions. But count me among the few that hate to see the super races nerfed. To me having a couple super races adds a sense of urgency to diplomacy in mp games.

The player who typically like to do his own thing starts out next to LA Ermor. He is basically forced to do some emergency diplomacy or he is likely to die. I think the previous Big Game benefitted from having LA Ermor and LA Ryleh in them. They were not excluded from Kingmaker because of their power, but because of their free spawns, and the unit cap.

But the other socalled super race was in Kingmaker and was either the 1st or second race eliminated from the game-Hinnom. Yes they were double teamed, but that is what mp is all about. It is rare in mp that you make it through a game and never see the short end of a double team.

My only caution is to nerf lightly. No need for overkill as none of these races are broken as they are.

If time permits, and it is thematic, I would like to see a few of the minor easy to implement suggestions for underpowered races added. Like a commander for LA Ulm that can lead undead. There were a couple of other minor tweaks for races that have been discussed over the last few months and i will not rehash them here.
