If they "push to obnoxious play" and are "annoying" (to play?) and overpowered(is it?), and hill orcs are "a lot like deep dwarves", then why is a hill orc healer not similarly obnoxious or annoying or overpowered?

If it's meaningless, why does it have to be culled?

KoboldLord wrote:Ultimately, food just doesn't work very well as the pacification cost. Draining works for Ru, and it would probably work for Ely just to make it generally more favorable to actually kill most things.
It also might be good if failed pacifications prevented further attempts, since it's really the spamming process that is most horrible.
