True that. The event obviously harms elves more that others.

Post-v12, they will have one base move, but start with mobility II (so effectively two base moves) and have a third if spiritual. The point of this is to motivate upgrading monks to priests. On smoke, I think I basically agree with what you said. It's super annoying, but is it any worse than a jungle growth? And it's not disadvantaging elves so much as removing an advantage - a normal civ would need mining after all. So I don't think its worth hunting down.

ah, so this is to make Monk-Priests just as fast as regular monks, eh?
Should the monk start with a monk-specific promotion, to allow for monk-specific things? (which, in turn, would also be passed onto the priests it becomes, as most promotions go)
What monk-specific things?

eh ... like Damage reistance (diamond skin), spell resistance (iron will), extra first strikes perhaps .... stuff like that.
stuff that requires a (promoted) Monk to achieve = leveled monk. We already have a handful of hero-specific promotions, granted the hero ones are a bit more powerful.
I'm not introducing any of that stuff.

So, I'm doing the Crusade Towns now. For those who don't remember, this is a change to the Demagog Crusade mechanic that changes it so that the Demagogs arrive at a set rate, from Bannor Towns (working title) that improve to Towns and then instantly produce a Demagog and demote back to Bannor Towns.
The question is, how long should it take Bannor Towns to promote to Towns? Currently, Village->Town is 40t, and at 20% chance per turn, another 5t. However, FT affects this, but there's also the fact that that delays the first salvo by a bit (because before the first, they're only going so what sounds like a good number? A round 50t (25 with FT)? Less? More?

Bob reminded me about the Esus changes proposed in the Paring thread, which I'd forgotten about. It's a bit haphazard, and never really forms into a cohesive option, so how about the following as a consolidated change:
*Extort removed *Nightwatch now available at Archery (still require Esus). Now come with 3/2 base strength (+2 poison; can use metal weapons), and the Marksman and Guardsman promotions (in addition to what they already have), cost 120h. [Stats I'm not sure about, can be changed. Especially cost - compare to assassins(/Champions) at 120h, who are faster but slightly weaker on the defense and without Guardsman or HN.] *Shadowriders now available at Stirrups (still require Esus). Now come with (the same stats as HA but also with) +1 poison strength, and do collateral damage up to a maximum of 25% (?), cost 180h. [Not sure about the collateral damage limit/factor, or how much it'll matter. Need feedback.] *Shadows can now cast the Escape spell. [Why not? Gives them another cool feature when they're relatively bland as-is. Unlikely to have real effect, but still.] Also, probably won't be implemented in v12 because of time investment: *Religion-specific Priests and Heroes don't abandon you when you go into Esus Thoughts? These are all simple changes from a coding perspective, so I plan on implementing a version of it in v12.
