Re: color of province names

You can define the colour of the text in the map-file with the #maptextcol command.

You can find a description of it in the documentation on map-editing.

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

Fair enough.

If I understand you correctly your stance is that assassins are sometimes (very rarely) useful and the other arguments you presented were about situations when they are not useful....

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

Why on earth would you make him return? An assassin has only one business in a lab and that is killing people inside it.
I cannot imgagine that I am the only one who frequently buys mage-commanders...

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

But that was not the comparison I made. The point was that one mage not researching produces exactly as much RP as an assassin not researching. A mage not researching makes you lose the research race...

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

While I do not use assassins that frequently and certainly do not want to argue for them as some sort of general purpose unit, I do not see any reason to deny that they are occasionally very useful....

Re: Are Shields Worthless against AN Attacks

Let me see if I can make it a bit clearer. I will, however, not provide the answer in your grid, because it seems to me that you are not that clear about the difference between defence and parry.

Re: Killing Indi Commanders

Assassins can also be quite efficient when taking some cul-de-sac provinces. Unfavorable terrain in combination with general map layout can sometimes mean a delay of several turns for ordinary armies...

Re: MA Ulm in CBM 1.9x

Do not worry about it, Mightypeon, such things happen (and thank you, llamabeast).

When it comes to the siege bonus, I have a hard time seeing it as something that should be considered an...

Re: MA Ulm in CBM 1.9x

I do not want to be difficult, but that statement is rather odd. If I wish ranged support as MA Ulm, I want it for a reason. That reason determines what kind of ranged support I will invest in. What...

Re: MA Ulm in CBM 1.9x

Soyweiser covered the upkeep well. As for the rest, your argument leaves out a few important things.

I specifically pointed out heavy infantry or infantry with heightened protection as reasonable...

Re: MA Ulm in CBM 1.9x

The sapper is a great unit, no doubt about it, but you might want to look over your calculations again.

As Soyweiser mentioned, the massive range of the arbalest opens up for some interesting...

Re: Do you use CBM?

Those choices are rather obnoxiously formulated, are they not?

Nevertheless I voted for the first alternative, but a comment is in order.
I prefer vanilla over CBM, especially for MP, but I do...

Re: A few random questions re: MA TC

Reading guides here on the boards is a very good way to learn, but you need to keep in mind that in some ways SP and MP differ a lot. In SP there are a lot of things you do not need to worry about...

Re: MA Ulm Pretender, because I'm crazy

Re: Magic shield effects

I am going to disagree here. In particular about the 'almost always' bit.

Yes, the Vine Shield is better against generic human chaff and I even agree that it is useful in more situations than the...

Re: Lamia queen uses.

Give the bard a squad of wardens.

Such a squad can take out reasonable levels of PD without using any gems. If your opponent starts investing enough in PD to keep such squads at bay, trapezing in...

Do not despair unnecessarily. I have played a lot with Man and as long as crones are kept in growth dominion, afflictions are by no means a sure thing. During my games the crones that actually get...

Re: Can someone tell me about Machaka?

I do not understand your answer at all. As far as I can tell your scales involved production 1, so going two steps further would be production 3.

Now even apart from that, 160 points is 160 points...

Re: Can someone tell me about Machaka?

First, I want to make two things clear, so that we understand each other.

1. I have tried it. I would not be making the claims I do, if I had not.

2. I assume that the game parameters are...

Re: Can someone tell me about Machaka?

You do not need more than a couple.

The first expansion party is reasonably made up of ordinary spiders, but as soon as you have taken an adjacent province or two, it is not hard to come up with...

Re: Can someone tell me about Machaka?

Black Hunters cost 80 and Spider Riders 30 in the latest CBM.
In vanilla, it is 125 and 50 respectively.

At least with a minor nature bless, 4 Black Hunters do better than 10 Spider Riders. From...
