Re: Drain Life

Definately worth checking out. Thanks!

Btw, my new thoughts on GR is that it should cost 10 gems. Army of Dead should be 15 gems. I have never thought that the actual spells are to powerful, or...

Re: Drain Life

Well, if I considered *doubling* the cost of mages that can cast GR fairly insignificant (Demilich vs Demilich + Skull Staff + Skull Face), I'd agree with that statement....

Re: Drain Life

<shrug> I dunno. I'm still new here. I still have faith that armies are good for something. Either way it's beside the point I may, or may not, be making. The point is that it is not balanced...

Re: Drain Life

I made a simple test. 2 groups consisting of 12 Royal Marignon Guard, and 1 admiral. One group gets attacked by 1 GR, the other by a Phantasmal Army. Can you guess the results?

GR group - Nearly...

Re: Drain Life

Tartanians? Or is that of no use? :-) As I said in a previous post, GR should be moved to another disipline.

Re: Drain Life

Sure it is. You can raid with ghost riders, then take the province with a scout. The size army you need to defend against this is a bit larger than most nations can afford for all their uncastled...

Re: Drain Life

Hmmm...so you need a large army in every province to protect a couple mages that can probably only deal with 1 or 2 GR's. Or am I missing something?

Re: Drain Life

LOL. A fort is the best counter? and there are people who think it isn't overpowered? That's comical.

No wonder everyone spams cheap forts. I begin to see the reason for never selecting the other...

Re: Drain Life

Maybe 7 Death gems. My biggest beef on this, though, is that GR, Well of Misery, and Tartarian Gate are all in Conj. They should be in seperate disciplines.

Re: Gem Producing Items

Ok, I was wondering if it had to involve cyclical transmutes. Seems wasteful to me, at least in the short term. Doubtful I'd ever do the transmute part. Good use for excess water gems, though.

Van vs Valkyrie

Hi

Does anyone use Valkyries? and why would you? For 17% more gold it looks like Vans are better 2:1, at least according to Saber Cherries utility.

The only thing I can think of, is...

Re: Modify the Randomness!

Powerful as in it would be nice to actually execute a plan based on mages magic paths? Yes, I agree.

No, random is not necessarily balanced. It can be far from what I consider balanced. All this...

Modify the Randomness!

Ok, building off my "Random" thread, here is an idea for a slightly less chaotic mage recruitment system.

When recruiting a mage, instead of having a random magic path(s) automatically selected,...

Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

All this tells us is the overall randomness. However, if the picks follow some sort of pattern, your conclusion will be wrong, even if it looks distributed. This is why I recorded each mage, in the...
