Some proposals from the core balance group rejected (for the record):
17.b) Chosen of T3 class units (not all of them) have Lava Walking on silver/gold medal and some malus if the unit hasn’t 100% of fire protection. E.g. for Warlord it may be only Phalanx and etc.
For: Skuns453Lirik902,
Against: Hiliadan, marcuspers (prefer 17.a first), Hellbrick, blackwill357, gladis
17.c) I like the proposal of Rickyroo222: Builder of each race has Lava Walking preresearched and also has the ability “Build a Bridge across Lava River” (with width not more 1 hex)
For: Skuns453Lirik902,
Against: Hiliadan (but maybe give Lava Walking to Builder through Avatar or Dreadnought skill), marcuspers (but can be researched), Hellbrick, blackwill357, gladis
17.d) 17.c + Builder of each race can build and destroy bridges on lava (although it is better to work for water bridges)
For: Skuns453Lirik902,
Against: Hiliadan, marcuspers, Hellbrick, blackwill357, gladis
20. All tactical combat spells cost 50% less research points.
(The original combat spell prices were on par with the upgrades and strategic spells of corresponding tiers. However, due to the nature of the PBEM mode going for the mid-level combat spells was never justified, leading to the weird situation when your heroes have better combat spells than your leader. This change attempts to address that and make researching combat spells for clearing purposes an option.)
For: Jean de Metz
Against: Hiliadan, marcuspers (unfair advantage for Sorcerer with good spells), Skuns453Lirik902, blackwill357, gladis
