Re: Question about elemental royalty

And if the dead one is in the HoF you can cast Ritual of Rebirth and have it as a mummy as well as re-summoning it.

Re: good races for/against newbies.

I wouldn't consider myself a particularly advanced player of MP, but isn't 10 turns quite a long head start? I mean, that could make the difference between getting a fair share of the ice/arch devils...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

For a race with recruitable blood mages I'd be inclined to agree with you, but B4 on a pretender can be a great kick-start for a non-blood nation like Caelum or Arco.

I think I'd still rather...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Surely BoW does not stack with the NJ's intrinsic cold effect?

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Yes the NJ has water magic, but can only cast quickness on himself, at least until Alteration 8. The W9 blessing gives all his accompanying troops quickness and +4 def.

Why not bring a Gygja...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Well, reinvigoration maybe, but quickness items are Construction 6, and as you say, research is poor. If you're bothering with an N9 bless it's probably worth taking W9 or E9 as well - E9 might be...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Doh! Thanks Turin - it's not shown in the actual battles though, which is why I missed it. That probably makes E4 more useful than W4 for most troops.

QM - my mistake (again) - you're right that...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Ooh I so disagree! +2 str is awesome for any mass-produced troops. Can change a miss into a hit and a hit into a kill. I've never used Blood 9, but I presume the Blood Vengeance works like the spell,...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Wow - I didn't know that fatigue lowered defence! I mean I did, but I thought it had to be over 50 or something. That makes earth blessing *much* better than I thought (oddly leaving air blessing as...

Re: good races for/against newbies.

Hmmm. I'd go with a W9N9 Son of Niefel, since most battles do not last long enough for the reinvigoration of the earth blessing to matter to troops (and Jotunheim has no sacred mages except the...

Re: beating \'difficult AI\'

I find this too. The trick is to do a lot of scouting, and expand so that you only meet AIs when you choose to. That way you can pick them off one by one. This is why crowded maps are so much harder...

Re: A twist on an old idea

I think the important gameplay issue to solve is allowing two allied armies to fight an enemy army *together*. I don't particularly mind whether you have a straightforward MoO-type diplomacy system...

Re: Aegis not fear +5?

That's almost right - it actually starts at -4, ie. a +4 bonus to the MR save of the opponent. This is a "fear value" of +1, if you like. So +5 fear, from the Aegis or the Horror Helmet, will give a...

Re: Yor global enchantment was overpowered..????

This can also happen if you try to cast a global that someone else has already cast - yours has to compete with the existing one, and may fail.

New words are always fun - what is Norfleeting? I never played against him so I don't know.

Pythium god-calling weirdness

I've just killed Pythium in my latest SP game. It was a long siege (about 8 turns), and on the very first turn of it I killed the pretender, a Daughter Of The Land with W2S7. 8 turns later I storm...

Sneaky supplies

When you're sneaking about in enemy territory, you never see the province's supplies shown on the strategic map. Does that mean it's impossible for sneaking armies to starve??

Re: Def and Prot

I guess so. It's a bit ham-fisted though - with a decent body armour, hat and/or shield you can get well over 30 prot with Ironskin.

Ho hum.

Do mounted troops get a bonus to def? (It's the only way I can account for the high def of the Vans) If so, does it vary at all? eg. does a guy mounted on a horse get the same bonus as one mounted on...

Re: Blessing with weak priests

Ok, I guess I need to do more trials of this. Yes, I'll try multiple priests spread out a bit. Thanks.
