NCF – Extended list of Neutral creatures.

however, I still had a faint hope that they actually did a real rebalancing, but alas... and in general, someone needs to take this and do it; I can show where to get the rebalancing file and which buttons to press later!

psatkha, if the authors of this mod couldn't achieve balance, then I definitely won't be able to do it.
I doubt that it's even possible for one person to create a fair balance. What one person considers logical and fair, another will simply consider nonsense.
However, the balance issue needs to be addressed, so I suggest bringing this up for general discussion. For example, we could create a poll on the most imbalanced creatures in this thread. Yes, it won't be fast! Because there are many creatures, but we need to start somewhere!
