Re: Dom I Strategies which WON\'T work in Dom II

The Star Child was already king of assassins. 
It's all about Star Fire. |

IMO undead summoning assasins were/are better, but Starchilds were/are very good also.
Actualy, Lord of the Nigth with Black Heart is the king of assasins. Heliopagus with Black Heart gets close. Dusk Elders with Black Hearts are quite nasty too.

Just check out the various balance packs for SE IV. It is a good things, if the players are able to balance/tweak what they want.[/QB]

darn, I forgot my main point : I dont want to end with a dominions game stripped of many spells and items, just because they are overpowered. Because this is what you will be able to do with a mod. To imagine that the game mechanics of a particular item (number of imps generated and for how many turn eg) will be tweakable is very optimistic to say the least (naive would fit better). So it is better to balance, and not just suppress them (less strategies).

Ok, when we say "assassins" I took that to mean regular assassins without items. Otherwise why would we even mention the starchild in the same post? Of course it pales next to funky supercharged stuff.
The starchild has always been the most dangerous unaugmented assassin coming from a national list.

Really? I will believe you. I guess I need to play with Ryleh abit. I always thought the Abyssia one with fire aura was pretty cranked. Or the Ctis one with two magics and the ability to lead in invisible troops.

There's no comparison between Slayer and Starchild - Slayers get taken out by normal commanders often, in my experience. Starchilds annihilate any normal commander with no damage, and outrange most magical commanders. I don't know about Empoisoners - only used one once, and I remember that fatigue limited him to a few skeletons before passing out. |
