Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

Agreed. It's pretty bad.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

Actually, right now it looks like it's functioning like a feature instead of a bug, but whether the feature is desirable in quite this drastic a form is another question entirely.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

I agree with Edi. Something along these lines could be good, but it shouldn't affect early game as badly as it currently does.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

I could see the argument if the death, magic and luck scales were affected - but it doesn't look like they are.

It now really hurts some nations that need the bonus resources early to stay competitive and will help nations that don't need a lot of resources.

I'm about to play MA Ulm in Tigercat. This whole scale thing makes me want to not bother.

Just curious, are you guys raising your taxes and patrolling on turn one? I noticed in my games that raising taxes to gain extra gold at the beginning seems to cause it to happen. If this has been mentioned somewhere else in the thread, I apologize.

Jazzepi:

I had Order 0 isntead of 3 as MA Ulm in province with Dom 8. Massive temple building improved it recently.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

It's also very bad for Cold/Hot nations. I think we need patch ASAP. Balancing as feature, maybe later. But early effect is murder to many, many players - temperature nations, heavy ressource nations, growth builds, misfirtune builds. The late effect is murder on anyone with non-awe dominion and good scales.

Simple patch next week would rejoyce me, for sure.

On the other hand, it has become a game of 'Dominions' indeed. Great news for LA Mictlan bless rushers, for example.

Zeldor: temples building not possible until later in game, and will not help on borders, where your neighbor is building/preaching too. You will both have strong dominion, and you will both have wrong scales.

Foodstamp: it seems to happen always. If developers REALLY made scales average on neighbors, early capital will always have weak good scales.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

Nope, I don't raise/patrol on the first turn. Can't be that.

Re: Scales bugs in Dom3.14
 

LA Ermor is boosted by this as well.
