Default Re: Another Death Match Balancing Idea

The only thing I don't like about Death Match is the way newfound magic items are handled, which is more global mechanic. Forcing someone to use a crappy cursed item is in my opinion design flaw. You could argue that the commander has sticky fingers and a weakness for magical trinkets, but if that were true, why equipped commanders are immune to cursed items (no slots left) ?
Is this just me, or SCs seem overnerfed in Dominions ? Horror Mark, Magic Duel and Curse were probably justified in Dominions2,1, but now with much more gold and resources, and relatively strong bless strategies, do we really need stackable Horror Mark and Magic Duel ? Couldn't early SCs be handled by ordinary troops now ?
I'd happily test this in a game without Magic Duel and Horror Mark, but you need several people to do that...
