One possibility would be to have the penalty kick in turn 1 and not be removed by casting a spell, just not made worse. They could tone up the penalty for not using it, but its so easy to counteract. The life steal is already a minimal effect on its own. I'm not really sure how it could be toned down. Another thing you might consider adding in is making pops generate research, casting points and/or production, but each pop consumes mana each turn like food. But, in exchange, all your units have an additional mana upkeep and suffer a devastating morale debuff if you ever go into the red on mana. Maybe give your units a small amount of cosmic damage as well, alongside the lifesteal. I was hoping that, instead of making it weaker, they would lean more heavily into the "power at a price" angle. That puts it at the top of all culture traits (and head and shoulders above the other pantheon traits) and probably means it has the nerf bat coming for it in the future. And in exchange, you get lifesteal attacks on all of your units. And if you don't do it, it's hardly the end of the battle. So the "drawback" is that you have to do something that you would be doing anyway. But there's basically no reason not to cast a spell every turn, even the champions are going to be doing that. You get -5 morale every turn you don't cast a spell. The "drawback" can hardly be called that. ![]() It's just as good on a Barbarian champion as it is on a heavy astral Mystic wizard king. Which is to say that it has significant drawbacks that make it more appropriate for a themed run rather than being universally good. This might be the most flagrantly overpowered culture trait, and it's probably due for a nerf, but I hope they don't give it a flat nerf, but adjust it so that it's more in line with the other unlockable pantheon culture traits. ![]()
