The units for Pythium should have high poison resistance or immunity... otherwise it's easy to cripple large AI armies when the computer is using Pythium.

And i do not think the developers owe any obligation to keep improving a game after release(in the absence of a monthly fee), unless there are actual bugs that need fixed. But I would love to see some of the better ideas put together and sold as an add on.

Yeah the pythium situation isn't great. It could be partially fixed with a mod though.

Hmmm lately Ive come across an even bigger challenge. Playing as Gath or Formoria. Bare starting army, bare set of pretenders to choose from, no national sites or recruitables or gem income. You have to turn them on with a bare script mod but it is interesting.

I tried out a map with no indy poptypes and it actually seemed to work out better for the AI, since the player makes more use of them. The AI also likes to build forts, which fits in perfectly.

I suggest other people do give it a go. You still get some interesting indies via sites as well.
