Huh, sorry, keep it low - I didnt want to start another flame war...
I just like the VQ and are about to start a PBEM game with local friends and want to make sure that I am not using a tactic that is invincible...
I using a VQ with Blood3,Death2 with Caelum, because I like access to Blood and Death in order to forge boosting items for my mages. There is no cold-resistant earth mage available which could also satisfy my needs, and the VQ-stealthiness is big boon in order to push my dominion (and hence the cold of my lands) to prepare my attacks.
I was also put off by the blue dragon I tried first, which has only the water magic and gets crippled to easily (the VQ immortaility is another boon, true).
Yet I do not see how a VQ can kill an army without being fully equipped, which is also probably a problem with my magic paths (i usually give her a wraith sword, armor of souls, boots of strength, magic resistance and luck amulet), but even with access to soul vortex I really fear loosing her to my enemies, so i stick to my own dominion and use her and her vampires for defense.
But without her items, I think that she wont stop a whole army. So what am I doing wrong here?
The answer I'd appreciate would be something like: yeah you must give her other magic paths in order to make her the super VQ everyone is complaining about - so that I can use her the same way I did without having a bad remorse...
