Really? Wow. From reading this thread and the others on modding and balance, I'd concluded:

1) You and the other good/knowledgable players really liked math.

I love math, and I love to generate statistics. However, I am neither very good or very knowledgeable about this game.

2) The reason I'm not very good at Dom2 is that I wasn't using enuf math, and was worrying too much about silly notions like reducing the other side's ability to fight.

*chuckles* Nah. I'm just trying to find something to occupy my mind, and I came up with this.

As I said to Graeme, my intent is not to change the balance point of the game, but to find a point where everything comes out to the cost that is listed for them in the games.

I understand but it will clearly change the balance of the game. Right it it looks like a lot of the powerful nations take it on the chin and I'm all for that. I look forward to a game with these new costs!

A game with these costs ( although the Nifel Jarl has to be worth more ) Sable Cherry's troop costs, Zen's spell mod, a crushing of battlefield spells ( a-la the mods Soapy has been running ), the change of all 0 enc to 1 enc, and the removal of life drain would be just swell for me

Yes, but right now it's worth 10 more. Much more than that, and... well, I don't know. How much do you think an Assassin is worth? Do you think a Spy is worth more?

I always found them undercosted. If your nation can make spies that is a real plus which indicates in my mind that the ability is undercosted.
