Hi
I think Great Flood is absolutely ridiculous. You can be having a competitive game with a forward base and great flood can just wipe EVERYTHING out and basically make you lose the game… I think it really needs to be toned down - it massively counters Norse gods maybe where forward base building with lots of longhouse and great hall; also I might be wrong but Chinese units in general counter Norse units very easily
Chinese gods have three core ranged units plus the hero one and others; they have a very cheap and effective anti-cavalry also. Norse only anti-infantry is throwing axeman, and anti-archer is cavalry but both of these can be annihilated very easily by Chinese units. Godi seem to be a possible answer but cost more and take up more population - I am not an expert at these things but only going on gut feeling; Chinese armies are obliterating my Norse armies fully upgraded; and constantly trying to counter their cheap, effective units.
Also, somebody once used a Drought followed by Great Flood on me and literally my entire base was removed… I mean… this is surely just a bit ridiculous. It is extremely imbalanced - anyone else feel like that?
Edit: sorry I forgot to add, that the Chinese ranged unit is also anti-ranged which I think means anti-throwing axemen which basically makes them completely useless. And because they have archers it means you can’t build infantry without it being destroyed either.
Currently, the Great Flood power is the most powerful and broken god power in the game. Great Flood is like your opponent using an earthquake and two tornadoes at the same time on your base. An opponent who advances quickly to the Mythic Age can use Great Flood to destroy 90% of your base , 80% of your army and 80% of your villagers at the same time. Great Flood shouldn’t exist or should be nerfed heavily.
Great Flood should not be combineable with Drought.
Generally Drought should not make buildings take more damage from god powers because they are balanced around not destroying fully upgraded Town Centres.
Blazing Prairie is also OP with Drought and so are all the other destructive god powers in team games.
Totally upgraded constructions should not be destroyed by the great flood. It would be a fair way to solve the problem. But it seems that even if everything is fully upgraded, the great flood still destroys it. Am I right? If yes, we have a problem.
The Great Flood needs to make less anti building damage then an Earthquake because it also damages units.
It needs to make less anti unit damage then a Lightning Strom because it also damages buildings.
