I want in.

old age is cool
vote for blessing hotfix
Not a big fan of CB, although 1.1 looks promising (haven't tried playing with it yet.
Emphatic yes for Epic/Worthy

I'd also like to propose random nations, I'm still relatively new with few nations I'm comfortable with but I think a random epic will give you as much feedback. From more of a blank slate perspective. On the other hand, If i'm experienced with the nation I'll be able to determine the difference/balance that much better. Not a ringing endorsement for random, but it might be more interesting!

Something to look at, but may change pretender strategy greatly is recuperating gods. All gods start with recuperation, means the gods already starting with recuperation are a bit overpriced. In terms of playability it prevents a lot of heartache though. Possibly too much to add, but wanted to throw it out there.

In the same vein, the mythology mod adds some cool spells and new pretenders with everything seeming balanced except the Pantokrator (havent tried new repriced version, older was a steal)

Dr. Have you made a mod for your Marveni/other nation spell effects? Haven't tried it yet, but followed it a bit and looked interesting.

Another weak suggestion if starting with a big map, 2-3 starting provinces, high magic sites (personal pref), renaming on, ambiguous on indy power.

I like mods

My tentative thoughts:

1. I do not want to go wild with the mods, because I am trying to test Epic Heroes for balance. If we have too many mods, and Machaka cleans house, we will not know if it is because of the Immortal Assassin or some other mod.

2. For that reason, it may be better to not use the cb mod.

3. If we do use reduced old age mod, Machaka will have no old age issues and an immortal assassin!

Pretty much agree, but always like to throw the ideas out in the hopes that someday someone will start a mod crazy game

As much as I dislike the old age mechanic, it does instigate certain actions (GoH, chalice, certain pretenders, etc) which are currently part of the game and factored into strategic balance. (in general higher powered mages are old and problematic, younger are weaker and easier to manage). I'd love to have a no-old age mod in my current mid game.
