Its just that if there was only one "game is way overpowered in this area" complaint then it would be important to fix it. But if there are half a dozen of them, then it seems there there is a balance of sorts.

So the more complaints there are the less important the problem is?

You are still making my head x-plode.

No I just think that there cant really be a balance killer unless there is agreement on it. Multiple balance killers tend to cancel each other out. SuperCombatants cant be an end-game killer if too mch magic/summons is also an end-game killer since the two would seem to be tactics for use against the other. When discussions swing that direction then it tends to come out "oh I meant for small map blitz games" or some other limiting situation.

Im thinking that the built in benefit for Agartha is based on caves and darkness which doesnt seem to be incorporated into the game enough yet to provide the balance.

I've been relying on Bows of Botulf a lot more in Dom3 than in Dom2... Anyone with a smidge of death magic and the barest research in construction can shut down a lone spellcaster with little trouble. They're fun...

MA Argatha is weak. And people who nominate EA Ermor as a weak nation have no idea what they're talking about (read: didn't use lizards + combat pretender chassis). Mid Era Mictlan is weaker than it's EA/LA variant but I don't play Mictlan enough to make any judgment on that. Death scale is silly. Nations with no old age problems can effectively get 120 free points (or possibly even 240) advantage over nations with significant problems with old age. That is balance issue.

The game is not that complicated at it's current stage.

Deathisnt a no brainer in games that will last a long time, by turn 100 or so your capitol will be down to around 5000-6000 population so no mage recruitment without alchemising gems and if you run low on gems for some reason, no army.

The one thing about MA Agartha is that it's a recruitable land-based amphibious nation with human and amphib troops. Not much, admittedly.
