Neither Air nor Astral

[vanedor]

Air necessary?

I don't think so. I played quite a few games without using it. But perhaps it's the fact I tend to play the smaller maps.

Hey is that a portrait of Descartes?

Well in any case: Nothing is necessary. But I love air for Wind Guide if for nothing else, and for Arrow Fend if vs the usual suspects, and for staffs of storms, or whatever the plural is, and for all the other great items it yields.

Then again the best Air spells are mostly low level, with wind guide and Arrow Fend level 2/3

I myself can NEVER play without Nature, its really great. Just forge a few cauldrons. Or a few whips of command. Or maybe The Beckoning ? Oh, why not Call of the Wild...

dang it, i ALWAYS get nature, i have admit its mostly because of food support, i HATE to see starving and or ill units. ^^

I can play really good without Astral, to be honest i only get Astral to cast Acashic Record, i dont see another reason for astral magic...Most strong astral spells are high level, at least rituals.
Any while its easy to get high level mages with air, nature, fire or whatever is ALMOST impossible to get a high level astral mage, unless you designed him yourself as your pretender. Each magic way has its caster summons, but the only way for astral is that serpent guy with 3 nature and 3 astral, and that isnt even an astral summon.

definitly the way you play ^^

Mmh. I'm pretty sure Ermor w/ Ashen Empire has neither wind nor astral, unless it comes as a random.

I think that's what he meant, yes. Base Ulm, Pangaea, and Machaka can't get them at all, because they have no randoms, IIRC.

Uhm, Machaka and Pangaea both have randoms. How can they not get air or astral?

*deleted* ... I read "Ulm" instead of "Uhm" in Zen's post !! .
