Hi aom friends and devs,
First of all I wanted to thank all the devs and project team for the amazing work.
I wanted to raise a discussion on how the new balance patch from beta has affected Odin. I remember back in 2004 when I started, this civ was always behind, and somehow on Extended Edition they have made it competitive.
What happened was, during beta testing, odin was really strong due to the Great Hall bonus on Raiding Cavarly and Hersirs, reflected by the bonus odin always had on Hill fort that was transferred there. As a consequence, people complained and the devs decided to eliminate completely this bonus, which basically nerfed the entire god…I can’t recognize where is the strenght of odin now when comparing to other norse. They have added 25% more favor generated by Great Hall units, but that doesn’t compensate all the nerfs on original bonuses that was done (we lost regeneration rate, hunt bonus cut in half, and hill fort/great hall units hp bonus).
Please let me know what you guys think. If you think the god will still be competitive…
