Medallios of vengaeance... Holy avenger

[chrispedersen]

Hey, I'm kind of curious.

Suppose you had a mage able to mass fly everyone...

Do you suppose 5 priests with medallions of vengeane (magic trinket) + Holy Avenger (whatever)..

Soo the mage pops in with 5 or more iny priests. casts flight and retreats.

priests holy avnger and attack rear.

Cost effective?

Fun to do but probably not cost effective.

A thug/SC could do the same turn after turn.

I used to fly the bird leaders in from call of winds on attack rear orders with a medallion of vengenance. Which is similar.

A mage with some elephants casting mass flight is really, really good however... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Both things usually don't hurt much enough to make damage equal to the cost of 25 fire gems, 3 air gems and a bunch of gold for lvl 2 priests (who are normally not recruited in indy provinces, so you should recruit the, in castle instead of mages)

Meglobob:
Just casting Flight (now Gift of Flight, which is better as it is more reliable) on elephants makes a lot of fun when rushing with Caelum or stopping the enemy invasions.

Not cost effective in most situations. Medallions of Vengeance and Phoenix Pyre (which SAYS it affects AoE 50 but doesn't) are more likely to wound enemy units than kill them, which means that you'll wound some units and retreat so they can heal up. More likely to be effective on a starving army because disease units don't heal, but still very niche.

Nice idea, but completely impractical to the point of being useless.
