Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
all you mages are very powerfull, I think they are all too cheap, 50 gp extra each at least
seriously a holy 1 astral 1 mage + random of 20 % for more paths is way way way unbalanced.. and that is starting with the weakest mage.
I'd put 50 gp on top of each mage below 200 gp and 75 on top of the mages more than 200 gp and then they are probably STILL to good for the cost.
I'd try compare them with equivalent mages in the game with same number of "magic points" in total and same highest path level.. and then don't take the cheapest comparison for each but a mid priced one.
ARGGG they are ALL sacred AND NOT OLD AGE....(most sacred powerfull mages are old age) seriously adding 75-100 gp on all mages would probably be the right thing to do if you don't want to grossly overpower this nation.
Your cavalry could use a few gp more and quite some resources more (heavy cav 9 res must be type but still..)
Overall I think you are giving this nation a bit to much of everything (strong troops with a wide range of the best weapons (composite bows, crossbows, falchions etc etc)< heavy armor, strongish sacreds, and a selection of the most powerfull mages in existance.
All those mages covering all paths is allready a bit much for me, IF you insist on having such powerfull SACRED mages they should be priced accordingly in the first place, secondly I think they should be offset by weaker troops and a poorish sacred.
Of course this is all only if you intend to balance the nation to vanilla nations.. if you just want a nice and thematic nation to play with all of this is of no concern and the AI might actually be a nice opponent with this race... but there is no way in hell that I'd play against this nation in a serious (time consuming) MP game.
