I love Arcos!!!

no. its overpowered even w/out false horror spam. but that really pushes it whole-hog over the edge.

Ermor is sometimes seen as overbalanced, though that tends to be more accurate in newbie games.

Perhaps Vanheim is a bit powerful.

Abysia is typically among the first nations chosen in MP... but that doesn't nescesarily mean anything. I think it has to do with getting 240 (!) practically free points for pretender design.

240 ? Not 120 ?

Abysia does not lose supplies with scales of Death. It does lose population however. The same goes true for scales of Growth. The other 120 points come from Heat 3.

[Kel]

Ah, I only count the heat as free points since the other costs you something.

[The_Tauren13]

Well, it costs you the population, but not the income. So i guess the Last 120 are half-free points... so lets say you get 180 free points

[Kel]

Fair enough
I wouldn't even worry about the population, except they make useful blood slaves and all...

A death scale still costs Abysia income - 2% per tick, just like any other nation. And their income in a death scale
will decline throughout the game due to pop loss. The only benefit Abysia has re a death scale is that their supplies aren't affected. So lets say they get 120 free points - and actually, to my mind its somewhat less than that, as they lose income when their provinces aren't at heat 3 - so they would prefer a somewhat stronger dominion than other nations, to help keep things heated up.
