Conceptual Balance Mod 1.5

[quantum_mechani]

Some of the changes from 1.41:

*Strands of Arcane Power, Fata Morgana, and Enchanted Forest all made lower research and cheaper/easier to cast.

*Treelords now generate 1 nature gem per turn, and are somewhat better in combat.

*Bug fixed where one of the unarmored Lanka sacreds was too expensive.

*Several national rainbow pretenders made more attractive, especially the Lawgiver and Divine Emperor.

*Some types of LA Pythium legionnaires made cheaper, as well as renata.

*Eater of the dead further improved, and made easier to cast.

*Dark vines made cheaper.

*Bone grinding once again needs a gem to cast.

*Leprosy and Black Death more expensive (though cheaper than base game).

*Sirrush cheaper.

*Son of the Heavens, Lord of the Sky, Daughter of the Dawn and Son of the Sea all cost fewer points.

*Tartarian Gate costs 12 gems and Gift of Reason costs 15.

*Arouse Hunger now costs 4 gems and creates 16 ghouls (instead of 2 gems and 9 ghouls).

*Tarrasque and Legion of Wights cheaper.

*Poison Golem cheaper.

*Several pretender auto summons toned down to make it harder to get an unstormable capital (infinite troop spam inside sieged fort).

Great job Qm!

Comments:

I don't see the reason for the GOR change. Great spell often used.

Id rather see tree lords with an auto summon of a vine ogre or vine man, rather than a nature gem.

But very cool anyway!

You know, i have really grown to love this mod - indeed, i don't play anymore with out it. I just have to thank you for work you have done - it has made a truly remarkable game extraordinary.

[Lingchih]

Yes, it's the best Mod going. I also only play games with it on.

[iceboy]

Agreed! Thanks for all of your hard work QM!!!

Great!
Cant help feeling that Tartarians could cost 15 death, since GoR is 15 nature now. In my experience, GoR is the main limitation anyway.

+1, Even without GoR, Tartarians are great thugs on their own.

+2 Anything to increase end game options. Tartarians are one of 2-3 main avenues.

Wonders what lankan was too expensive.....

Now the Lawgiver looks very strong, i'd say no-brainer for MA Mictlan. New path cost 40 (was 50), starting dom 3 (was 2) and A1S2N1 (was A1S1N1).

Assuming S9 bless and 6-7 DOM, the change is the equivalent of more than 100 design points.
