XAI is something I am aware of and will be looking at. The thing causes some serious balancing issues in the stock game ... but no way anything in this mod is standard anyway!

The author seems to have designed it to be flexible in terms of how it is employed, and that is good. It;s not a 'blind alley' kind of deal, but rather something that can be tuned to get a desired effect. Having more use of seaborne invasions is something I want to have anyway. I always considered that the Northmen should be raiding Viking style, and that the High Elves, with no land borders, should be able to move out, or be attacked. There natural tendancies are not expansionist, IMHO, but they should able to expand!
