Default Re: The Grand Anti-SC competition!

I'd like to participate, but I cannot decide between two ideas. So I ask some questions first:

1) What about equipping clams or other gem generators? Will all battles be fought in the same round or one after the other, allowing gem generators (who take up a pretty valuable spot) to work?

2) Are wished for pretenders identical to what I see in the actual Black UnitView Map from SaberCherry?

3) I guess prophets are not elligible, right?

4) What about equipping the Shroud of the Battle Saint? Am I able to choose a ridiculous huge bless effect or is there some limit? (Same actually applies for any sacred commander who might bless him- or herself.)

5) What about morale? Do I need to equip some berserking item to prevent routing for combatants who still have something to loose?

6) Do battles take place in truly neutral dominion with balanced heat/cold scale, like an arena death match?

I know that I am always too complicated, sorry... ...and never mind the bless quesiton, for I do not want to choose a sacred combatant anyway - I'm just curious about the options...

nope, battles happen in same round, so clams are useless.

Yeah.

Right.

No bless other than the morale, I'm afraid.

Well, sc's rarely rout anyway, but it IS possible.

Yeah, I will create each nation with balanced scales, and fight the match in a province that has land connection to most, if not all, capitals, and a few hiding stone idols present.

What other reason could there be?

Hmm. I wonder how many first-action casts of Petrify one's likely to see.

Why first action? There isn't enough range. So if you want to bet on petrify you better make sure you have no quickness and script something like ironwill+summon earth power+petrify x3+attack. And bring wraith crowd. But it won't work so well if the opponent relies on some monster with one gazillion of various attacks and scripted on attack.

Suddenly I feel much less genuine...
