Age of Men: Themed Game

I have some concerns about rule 2 : only size 2 recruitable commanders may be turned into SCs :
Any knight is size 3 .
So nations like jotunheim , vanheim , man etc. are a bit disadvantaged then maybe .

Seems likely that everyone will just pick a lich, the ghost king, or the vampire queen, all size 2.

Finally what about blood ? If someone plays mictlan e.g. and may not use blood he is severely disadvantaged .

So, people wouldn't want to play Mictlan in this game, eh?

But they are not recruitable size two.

As for the other concerns, I doubt Vanhiem and Jotunhiem will be disadvantaged in a game were normal troops are so important (and anyone can get, say, a barbarian chief to make a SC).

We could probably make a mod toning down some spells and items (though wih items, it really has nothing to do with our rules, some items are just much better than others).

Since reseaching is fine without having a bunch of troops, having blood hunters in a lab province should be no problem.
I would also point out you will likely want patrolers, so thoose would account nicely for the required troops in non-lab provinces.
