What it will take for me to purchase Dom III

I do not oppose clamming, since it isnt an issue if your games are finished by turn 50-70. The current balance mod is way to restrictive in that respect imho, e.g. as Machaka I had real trouble to forge a few fever fetishes to keep my "flaming arrow" archers hords going without the managing hordes of scouts shipping gems...

[shovah]

just as a little off topic note how would a flaming windguide combo work? just wondering . and yes although not a problem on small games they generally dont tend to get summon heavy so........

[Ironhawk]

That combo works quite well. Tho I think only Arco can reasonably implement it.

I think that lowering the price of national fighting units (not mages) can make armies of normal troops more of an option.

After all, there are some pretty powerful national troops almost for all the nations.

For example a mod that halves the cost of all recruitable fighting units. (almost equivalent to doubling the cost of all summons, except that mages are doubly more expensive which further hardens the requirements for summons)

Would put more strain on commanders, and supplies (food), as bigger armies are harder to maintain.

Supplies wise. not gold wise. For supplies there are solutions. Growth scale, nature mages and food items.
I don't understand how more strain on commanders when in end games normal commanders are rarely used at all.
