Whats really bad about the arena is that usually Ermor wins because he sends a powerful necromancer which spits out tonz of undead.

Not if someone else sends in a prophet.


Anyway, the easiest way to kill of your god is to research a teleportation spell and target a land province. If you're an aquatic being. Don't ask for details, please.

That is generally not true. C'tis has better 'standard' necromancers than Ermor, not to mention a few other races with as good if not better paths 1 on 1. Soul Slay anyone?

Hi,

Another very quick way is paralyze. I've had this happen to me once and I've seen several AI pretenders die after being hit by that spell.

Also, if you whack a pretender with Mage Bane they die fast.

I'm begining to think those who say paralyze is too powerful have a point.


Vaya con Vastness,
V'ger gone

Taking an undead pretender with no other undead can also be harsh if there's an enemy nature mage. My Prince of Death came /very/ close to death after failing an MR save vs. Maggots; if he'd been hit a couple of times during the battle, that probably would have been it.

My commander had a sword in the right hand and a shield in the other with one or two misc. the trident appeared in my right hand and the sword disappeared.

The trident always replaces whatever is in your first 2 hand slots. The replaced items go to the lab.
