So you're saying things like Banner of Fear and Wing of Night spell being altered so they're not ovepowered against huge armies anymore only applies when playing the expansion? I guess that follows what Paul was saying about how certain rules and stuff in the expansion needed to be altered for the new gameplay elements.

If there are things in the expansion that will affect how the base version is played on its own, the publishers should release a separate item (e.g. errata, FAQ, etc) for people who may never buy the expansion. The Lost Legion might contain replacement components for convenience, but an errata/FAQ that states the changes to the cards should be released on the internet. Future reprints of the base game would come with these changes if so.

For those things that alter the base version's components to work with the expansion, then it is purely an optional add-on for those wanting to play with the base version.

It is unreasonable in my view to expect that people must buy expansions to continue playing the basic game.
