Seems unneccessarily complicated. A simple hard limit would be best.

The map is large enough that you will not feel the end-game to be terribly "constrained", e.g. there is a lot of STUFF on this map!

so it is 10 of each gemthings and 5 sc?

[Soapyfrog]

Sounds good to me, but it's your game so you have the final say!

if your placing limits on soul contracts you shoudl also place the same limits on vampire lords. lords cost a little less then a sould contract forged with a hammer, and summon 1 vampire per turn, so instead of devil hoards you will see massive immortal vampire hoards

I've found that, just by forging a clam when I've got spare water gems sitting around (i.e. no queens to summon, no boots to forge, all the global slots are filled, no nifty artifacts to make, etc...) it's not that uncommon to have 20 or so by the late parts of the game, on smaller maps than this. If we do just a hard cap, I'd prefer it to be 20 for the gem-producing things and 10 for the soul contracts. I wouldn't mind limiting vampire lords too, but the only because immortal vampire hordes are boring, not because they're particularly overpowered.
This is just my vote, though. Lots of other people involved in this game, probably most of them more experienced than I.
Cheers!

My previous pretender design (for Mictlan) wasn't working out, so I'm now in the list of people who will stay anonymous until I get kicked, then reupload before we start. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. I check these Boards pretty rabidly, so it shouldn't be much of a delay on my account (especially if you kick me now).

I'd really rather not limit the vampire lords... I plan on playing BF Ulm and I'd like to be able to stay in theme with my summons. Plus its hard to get the demon summons working for BF Ulm. You could limit the number allowed to summon allies, but they have other uses as well.
