True although a Balor should not even have been Epic Tier to begin with. From the ground up WotC didn't know what they were doing with Epic Gaming in 4E - that's why they simply 'folded' non-epic monsters (dragons, demons and even the Tarrasque) into the Epic Tier to 'pad' it out.
Spread out more like I agree, towards the end of my last 4e campaign, as my players were moving from Heroic to Paragon I started revising all the monsters to be 2/3 their original level. I reduced the hit points accordingly, but kept the damage the same and it worked well.
I had all that solved with my Unit Rules. So you could fight a group of 1000 orcs or 1 million demons (or whatever) within 1 stat-block.
Now you've got me really curious!
Best of luck amigo...it sounds like a lot of work.
Well I have it mostly complete a couple times, just can't seem to go the final mile. Of course, when I say finished I don't mean for publishing, just a collection of notes that make a workable game for me. No one else would know what the hell to do though!
