Lack of middle ground pretenders

[B0rsuk]

It's no wonder Dominions2 was dominated by SuperCombatants. I see SC pretenders, Rainbow pretenders, and scale/bless immobile pretenders.

I have a feeling KO loves SC's. I almost expect him to post here, his message containing at least one smiley.

KO loves big godly gods, not necessarily SC's.

[Endoperez]

What kind of a god is a god who isn't godly?

[Nerfix]

Crone.

She has a good reason to try and become one, though.

[Nerfix]

Haha, most definedly yes.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I foresee another Conceptual Balance mod being required, at least for pretenders. Once again too many are either too wimpy to anyone to take in a serious MP game, and a handful are too powerful for the costs. (Ghost King for example.)

Pretty much back to where the unmodded Dominions2 was.

I'm not sure if the Ghost King/VQ style supercombatants work so well with the reduced research speed. Quickness is less powerful and the Earth protection spells give penalties to resistances. Fireshield is higher up in the research tree and so on.

That said, it is quite likely that we'll get a CB mod for Dominions 3.

Yeah, Dom3 is balancewise better than Dom2, but worse than Dom2 CB imho.

National troops need to be rebalanced too imho and scales probably too.

But once a good CB mod is out there Dom3 CB will be much better than Dom2 CB .
