Hiya!
At first, thanks for taking the time to both check and write down so many remarks.
Now to the point:
1. Designing this I had in mind only 4-player games (which I should have noted in the post, that's true) - where there are some limitations as to where this one can move/build/etc..
2. I've removed the scoring per 2 removed warriors. Other means will stay there for a while for now (next in line is the one for removing own nests since removing them does other beneficial things).
3. There are now 3 mutualy exclusive ways to score VP - true. But they cannot score by crafting, for example.
4. Phoenix(es) - limited to 2. I want them to have separate actions to limit building up for one snowball with other warriors and all. Also, I'm gonna try with 2 of them right now, because I've also added this rule: "There can ever be only one phoenix on a clearing. If there would ever be 2 phoenixes on one clearing, remove one immediately."
5. Action pool for phoenixes - I've added clarification. i.e. the pool lets you do 4 actions divided between both phoenixes - I guess this is what you had in mind?
After this, we'll see after next 4-hand test.
