I suck with Pythium ... please help!

[Huzurdaddi]

What I want to know is what Hen and compadres propose to give Caelum as compensation if False Horror is nerfed (as opposed to the bug where priests don't cast sermon of courage with them).

How about we give them national armies that can skip provinces and strike rear areas? No that would be insane. Just imagine the carnage that could cause!

No, no wait I got it. How about we make their best mage recruitable not only in the capital but anywhere they have a castle? No that would be crazy.

No, no, wait. How about making their top mage have one 3 level path one 2 level path a random and yet cost only 180? No, that's crazy. No no, wait let's make it fly as well!

Caelum is excellent even if they did not have false horrors. Just not quite so "dear god Caelum again" excellent.

I am *not* arguing for or against false horror, or Caelum or anything along those lines...but Caelum has more going for it than False horror.

They still have good raiders, mobility and good mages. Probably other things, too, that I am not experienced enough to be aware of...but Caelums success does not hinge solely on False Horror, imo.

Lex is essentially repeating what Gandalf said a while back. Unfortunately, no one seems to have been listening to Gandalf. Which is a shame, since Gandalf knows what he's talking about. Certainly more so than those whose minds are closed to viewpoints other than that of singleminded simplicity and pet peevishness.

Well Stormbinder / Truper and a lot of other very experienced players say too that false horrors are at least a bit overpowered while you and Caine seem to be the only ones still claiming it is okay .

First, who's "a lot"? Second, who's definition of "very experienced", for I assure you that your definition and mine are likely to be dramatically different. Finally, you completely ignored the text I wrote which you (for some unknown reason) bothered to quote. Why quote text if what you're going to write utterly disregards that to which you are ostensibly referring to? To make it abundantly clear what I'm speaking about, lest it elude you, how can you claim that only I and Cainehill hold a certain viewpoint when the text you quoted very clearly mentions that there are others (in this example, Gandalf)?

Oh, and one more thing: just because some people are VERY vocal in their whining about Caelum, False Horror, Abysia, or whatever other aspect(s) of the game they have trouble with due to their preconceptions and/or inflexible playstyle doesn't make them a majority. Or even significant. It just makes them a pain in the ***. If you choose to accord such folks more importance than they merit, that's your prerogative, but don't expect others to agree with you ... no matter how vocal you are.
