Battle still has Magi to fight regardless of cabal. They could justify a war on the main canals if they wanted to.
Balance wide I agree a number of things need changing.
Dex warriors need a tone down. Accelerate prep in potion form that easy to get needs addressing.
I'd also have more AI spots but each character just gets a subset.
Entropy is a perfectly fine cabal. It just needs someone pk oriented to go for it and it seems most choose other cabals because they want stronger powers. With 6 or so members they would be able to raid easily enough of they stick around to hero.
Scarab will likely ebb and flow according to the quality of its apps. Also most apps just don't get what scarab is about and will spew the helpfile without actually living it.
Also bringing back arcane sect would require enforcing uncooperative behaviour between sects. Not token grumbles while all holding hands. Otherwise empire would be far too strong all the time.
