time ago and it was shot down as too hard to balance and too much work. Not sure I believe that. Asking every imm to brainstorm 4 (2 or 3 would also add nice flavor, or even one for starters) unique high level communes can't be that hard. [You can repackage wither, change some maledicts, add a bonus for a certain align/ethos and give it a new name and voila.] Heck, run it as a contest on officials. And the balance thing is a bit weak (are we perfectly balanced now?), since shamans are empowerees you can obviously weed out as needed. That's what the empowerer is supposed to do. Another subplot here is that I think folks would get more excited about CF if they could have some, albeit filtered and limited role, in designing/tweaking aspects of Thera...
