Lycantropos? Doesn't that force instant Berserk, which prevents the casting of Quickness? Added to that, there's the drawback of eventually turning into a skinshifter.

Against indy tritons and thinking cheaper, I wonder how well a Shield of Gleaming Gold, a Snake Bladder Stick, a fear helmet, a rime hauberk, a dancing trident, and a luck pendant, would do. The underwater indy's aren't likely to Soul Slay or Enslave you *shrug*.

Oh yeah the Lycantropos Amulet is rather a bad choice for a WQ . Mea Culpa

.
For Banelords and the like it is imo very nice though .

When would a waterqueen fight against underwater indies ?
By the time you reach conjuration 7 and construction 6 most or all underwater indies should be long gone

Maybe in games without water nations? In my view, the independents of water provinces vary quite a bit in strength, so one might grab one water province with quite some effort, and then proceed...

That's what's happened in the MP game that I'm playing against Deccan. The independent underwater provinces are contested by the heat-loving human preachers of Marignon (that's me) and some shambling rotting things (that's Deccan).

Curses! Why are you reading this thread? Go away.

Now I am sure to see Phoenix Rods against my water queens. But I have all three of them! Muahahaha!

Um, he was joking. He most certainly knows what they are!
