New Balance Mod

[Gavagai]

TBS,

thanks for feedback. Some quick comments:

1) State Property is powerful because of corps which it can't use.

2) Salon is an invention of my own (+1 Artist base).

3) HRE change is because city maintenance bonus is distributed between Courthouses and Barracks. With Barracks HRE will be able to achieve the same 75% total cost reduction. Most probably irrelevant as Barracks/Courthouses will be reverted back in the next version.

4) Bombard is here to make a Reneissance siege unit. Rifles + Catapults stacks seem quite bizzare.

5) Refrigeration change is to nerf Sushi and make late-game boats slightly slower.

About Swords - if no malus against mounted it would most likely make spears completely useless.

[The Black Sword]

I'm just afraid that's a lot of free gpp from the Salon. It does increase artist chances but I guess in the majority of cases that would work out ok and Salon was really good, in a small percentage of cases you might get screwed over.

Spears are still 2/3 of the cost, come a lot earlier and are better in some situations. I'd still expect to see more spears than swords.

Double all SS parts? I guess that would make the Space Elevator worth it. Seems a bit excessive though.

Well, you have just personally shown that SS parts hammer costs is a joke - even without corps. I'm actually considering tripling them...

I wonder - is it possible to make Christo Redentor kill a pop in every single city upon completion using the same value which is used by Hanging Gardens?

Yes, do that--I want to see how badly the game breaks if you get a 0 pop city!
(I don't know if that's balanced or not; I just want to see the world burn)
