Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

That's the thing though, Man doesn't have trouble expanding or fighting early game. Man has superb regular troops, and always did, even before CBM made the knights and avalon knights useable. ...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Couatls are H2. It's the High Priest of the Sky that's flying H3. And having access to H3s is hardly just something for lazy players. Look at Man, only priest is H1 nonmage. It needs to recruit...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Oh for God's sake, again, bless nations need a good sacred, but that's not all they need. Mictlan has low resource needs, free points from temp preference, wide magical diversity allowing for an...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

MA Mictlan is still very much a top tier bless nation, vastly better than Man in every way. Honestly, Jags in the cap and eagles out is better than the other way around, since eagles are best mid...

Re: Forge of Ulm

Eh, that doesn't work as well in practice as it sounds, especially blade wind. I really wish there was a way to stop mages from casting bladewind as soon as their script runs out. That 80 fatigue...

Re: Forge of Ulm

Well, if you're right about how Storm works, then it comes one level lower, is an early priority for all air nations, and halves the effect of iron blizzard in addition to the precision malus.

Re: Forge of Ulm

Iron blizzard gets stopped by arrow fend. It's nice, but it's like the Ulmish version of flaming arrows. Devastating from when you get it to when the enemy gets the counter, and mostly useless...

Presumably Army of Lead cast by the "earth mothers."

Except what earth mothers? More 50 gem empowerments? Presumably what he actually means are troll kings summoned either by one of the...

Hmm, so you think it works on projectiles in particular? That makes sense mechanically, though it's disappointing in a game sufficiently detailed that gay men can't be seduced by women for ethereal...

Storm and other ranged weapons

I understand Storm halves precision and halves missile fire. The former is simple, but what about the latter? What counts as missile fire?

Recruitable archers sure, but what about other units...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Yes, that is how I calculated it.



I do rather like F4W4 myself, as a part of a general minor bless. You can take a sleeping Archdruid with F4W4E4N4 with a bonus D2 and A2 for dom6 and plus 2...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

So did you have a point to make here? I've already pointed out how you aren't getting better than 50% odds until turn 45. You've yet to present this super duper bless that would let Man sweep all...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

No, it just cost you 60. What, with if you empower so you can forge boosters, you still need to forge the boosters. If you take turn 30 as the latest you can wait before empowering, and you manage...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

What in the world are you forging? 2 Rings of Wizardry every single turn? Or just every single artifact without any concern for whether or not you could actually use it as a part of your strategy? ...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Wrong again, it's 60 gems to empower from A3 to A4. With a 1.5% chance per recruitment, you still have a 50% chance of not having an A4 after 45 turns of crone recruitment. Crones aren't even that...

Re: Domain 4? Death?

It's not luck based decent scales right? To state the obvious, luck that doesn't spread is entirely worthless. If it's Order based, and you have strong priests to preach up dom in your best...

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Wrong. Having H2 priest mages (that aren't mounted, damned Eriu) means a crystal shield from a pretender, lucky indy, merc, or trade boosts it up to H3. And barring that, H2s, which Atlantis can...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

So I guess people never, ever take non-prefered, and nonextreme temp scales, right? Even extreme temp with its corresponding encumbrance issue is so close as to be no difference, yet somehow you...

You'd think so, but then there's his second post on the matter. If that's sarcasm, it's at a level far beyond my ken.

Re: Man: A Bless nation in CBM 1.92?

Wait, the nation with access to only 4 paths, and needs a pretender to forge boosters for all of those, no way even to get holy 2, much less 3 besides the prophet, and also can't take dump scales...

Re: Conceptual Balance Mod v1.92

My mistake. Too used to the older and less controversial CBMs. Certainly, if the latest CBM supposedly makes scales too good, while earlier ones didn't, it needs to be compared with earlier CBMs.

Re: MA Eriu

Song of Power is N4. A Bean Sidhe needs a thisle mace and an extra gem to cast it, and you can't boost up 2 levels.
