Yes more stuff to read about balance...

The item Procipinee's Crown is basically mandatory equipment.  Im Just throwing this out there... could this be removed for the sake of not always using a creation point on the same thing. 

And.. Ereog's Token, I found it from a quest or goodie hut once, I forgot which one.  Should this item be in the custom creation selection if its not unique to the world? I feel like I wasted a point when I found it in game.

Also whats going on with the monsters running loose, banding up with monsters in lairs, and then leaving as one new group.  The lairs are left open for sneaky people grabbing awesome gear free, an you have ungodly mob groups skipping around laying waste and creating player panic.

It's called self control and trying something new for a change ;)

Usually happens when somebody releases the layer by building a city too close to the lair. The world is dangerous and it should remain so... the bigger complaint is that the player tends to be careful not to do this, while the AI is not so careful... I call it carefully planned AI with a random streak in them to hopefully kill you with very dangerous monsters.

I don't think there is much to change here, as I do enjoy both features and I don't ever pick Procipinee's Crown at unit creation. If I feel like using the crown I use Procipinee.

Disagree, I've never wanted to take. Wealthy on the other hand...

At first I thought the Crown was a big deal. Now I realize having the mana isn't a big deal mid to late game. I never spend the points for it with any of my custom heroes anymore.

I see the crown as pretty nice, but far from required.  I only occasionally take it.

Yeah, one meditation spell on a city with 2 essence covers most of the mana maintenance, but if we are talking about balance: there is a huge lack of balance between the different professions (for example bandit lord vs. warlock) or traits (for example veteran vs. discipline).
