Re: Blood Red (recruiting)
Hmmm, I was comparing the pegasus riders to EA Arco's wind riders and the Gryphon Riders but I suppose they're actually decently weaker. Poison arrows aren't that big a consideration on units too expensive to really mass. 50 is probably a decent price for them.
On the dragon scale, I don't know...as it is it's superior to the dragon scale mail which takes constr-6 research and 10 gems (minus the elemental resistance). Its clearly superior to every other non-forged armor in the game - it may need to be dialed back a bit even with a resource bump.

It's amazing armour to have for free on a mage, but on cavalry it's just 15 prot, -1 def. That's pretty special, but less special than Ulm's Black Plate and only a little better than a plate cuirass (14 prot, -1 def).
It can't be dialled back as is, because it's using the stats for the forged dragon scale mail. However, creating a new armour type isn't very challenging - what were you thinking the stats should be?
Peryton riders may still be a concern, as they benefit more from good armour with low enc. |

Aha! I spotted what's happened here. CBM 1.6 bumps forged dragon scale armour up to 17 prot, making it rather nifty. That's not great for Themiskyra's balance, of course.
I'll create an armour type called 'Dragonscale Hauberk', and give that the expected values of 15/-1/1 and an appropriate resource cost. I could even give Amazon infantry something like 'Dragonscale Cuirass' with 13/-1/1... but that's a different issue. |
