Eeehhh. They're fairly substantial fatigue damage, which is conceptually good, but they're also range 8, do no actual damage, are MR Resists in a game where most things have high-ish MR, I think mitigated by poison resistance, somehow, and I think all of them are on hoburgs in this game. So, uh. They're possibly not bad? Good might be stretching it, I'unno. Haven't actually done much testing with the things. Would probably recommend throwing up a test game (maybe on talis, to make hitting formorian dirt quick) and seeing what happens.

... caesar has native gift of waterbreathing commanders. Their doom giant ones, even. No need for undead, the sacred giants can jump in the sink just as well

All the sacred giant nations have that, actually. The commander versions all have gift of waterbreathing and can cheerfully take 50 worth of anything into the water with 'em. The ubiquity of water access for ~half the nations in the game is one of the interesting things about it! And by interesting, I mean one of the reasons they're going to crap all over the rest of us :V

E: For extra bonus points, they've all got sailing, too. Trying to hold anything along the river is going to be a complete nightmare, ha.

You can certainly manage it via magic sites, at least.

... you know, it is only turn two, EA...

Work burnout can't really be adequately measured in suicide rates -- there's a potential correlation, but work burnout results in quite a few other things (including, but not limited to, job shifts, un and under employment, homelessness, various sorts of non-fatal physical issues, simple decreased productivity... there's just sort of a sundry list) and not to equal degrees, while suicide has significantly more contributing factors, some of which are both contributing factors to and results of work burnout. It's a bad measure that won't even remotely manage to adequately track instances of work burnout.

You'd want some kind of conglomerate measure if you're aiming for adequacy -- several things tracked and weighted appropriately, probably on a graduating scale instead of yes/no. Suicide could be on the list, but you're not dealing with a chicken and egg scenario, you're dealing with a dozen different chickens and eggs with no clear connect as to which direction the incubation is occurring. Trying to simplify things is just going to create a (badly) distorted picture of what's happening.

... method of election is fairly irrelevant to capability as a leader, in any case. A tyrant can be supremely capable, and a person chosen by direct democracy impeccably inept. How they get in office doesn't really matter much, barring the extent which that process reveals their skill.

Being unkind to both of them, the month or two old kitten living outside my house would also probably make a better leader than trump, so it's not really saying much. It has a substantially better personality and appearance than either of them, and would likely make at least as good a policy as trump. Plus its diplomatic skills would probably outstrip trump's while the kitten was asleep. Like, literally asleep, as kittens are totes adorbs when unconscious, and that's far more than the half-bald asshole with a hardon for burning bridges could manage while awake.
