I've been playing with the
NCF mod for a long time – it's definitely a very useful and interesting mod.
It's become boring to play without itBut there are serious concerns regarding the
balance.
After all, it's no secret that some units have turned out to be very overpowered: they have so many abilities that after a battle with them, your army is drastically reduced, no matter how well you play!
Are there any plans to improve the balance of these creatures?There was a general stream about these creatures – you can see how overpowered some of them are.

There was also a stream about the balance of
NCF tier creatures (tested on the EWA base).
Many good suggestions were made regarding the balance, but, unfortunately, they were forgotten, so they remain unimplemented.
