Depends on what you mean by "unbalanced". I think it's "unbalanced"
for a fantasy game to be dominated by armies of beasts instead of
armies of men. I think it's "unbalanced" for one group of mages to be
able to so effectively nuke any and all opposition. Long-term games
should be more difficult to "win" than Game 1 of Olympia was.

No one has yet to come forward to say that the alleged deaths of AOO
nobles are true.

Other than me, you mean? After the first AOO invasion of Tollus, I
took my army into Faery, figuring it beat being bored... but I knew I
wasn't strong enough to do anything but die.
