Re: Exploit question

In a hypothetical situation where somebody is copying Bogus' orders and using them against you... doesn't that just invite you to Charm his commanders and use the same orders against HIM? And of...

Re: Terrible Player.

In my tests, it does. Notice how Decayed units eventually start taking damage and turn into puffs of blood? It only happens once they catch Disease, and after that point they take 5 points of damage...

Re: Terrible Player.

Unless somebody hits them with Decay, and then they'll take 5 points of damage per round just like any other Diseased unit. IIRC.

Re: Terrible Player.

The weird thing, though, is that he said his Oni all got diseased. Maybe they just happened to be on a disease-causing site and it just looked like it was from starvation? Either that or it's a bug....

Re: Terrible Player.

Maybe Reinvig 5 vs. Reinvig 4 is worth more to you than an extra Luck scale? For instance, you're playing with Sidhe/Vanir thugs and you have self-buffing thugs with Enc 4. Having net Enc 0 is great,...

Re: Niefelheim Pretender Design Question

Does Banish have the range to reach the back row? I can't check it right now but obviously you'd have your spammers set way back. I think you're right though that after 20 rounds, the spammers will...

Re: Niefelheim Pretender Design Question

Without specifically advocating skelly-spam as a counter (I meant only to point out a vulnerability): can't you just forge a bunch of skull talismans? At 3 death gems a pop w/ hammer, each one should...

Re: Niefelheim Pretender Design Question

True, I was being imprecise. For instance, "berserk encumbrance" would not double from being Quickened. Maybe we should call it "berserk exhaustion(2)" to make it clear that it's like turning...

Er, yes, that's true. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. But hey, that's "brainstorming", right?

Re: Niefelheim Pretender Design Question

E9N9 giants get tired and can be killed by skelly spam (net enc 2 after berserk). E9N8 giants have net enc 0 though.

Re: Terrible Player.

I don't understand this second paragraph, and it makes me wonder if you're using skelly-spam to mean something different than I think. For instance, if you mean "raise a whole bunch of skeletons with...

If an attack is stopped by luck/ethereal, it doesn't degrade defense. Lucky, ethereal thugs/SCs with high defense are basically impossible to swarm unless you happen to have troops with magic weapons...

Spells like Earthquake are actually better cast AFTER the enemy mage casts Firestorm (or whatever), since there's a Def check, and if the enemy mage has 200 fatigue from casting a big spell with...

Re: Decay

Once units hit old age, they can start getting afflictions. Any Decayed units with the "Diseased" affliction will take 1 HP damage per year of aging, i.e. 5 HP per turn. This means that normal human...

Re: Better Know a (Bad) Pretender: the Terrible Three

Good points. Nitpick: "To reduce risk, the Manticore could be scripted with (Attack Monster)x5, retreat, and have some cheap defensive gear like an Amulet of Luck." When you script a one-round...

I'm not sure I understand. You're opposed to defensive play but removing something which makes defensive play powerful^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H tedious is bad?[/QUOTE]
