SC's vs Thugs

Alneyan · #1 February 14th, 2006, 08:00 PM

Tartarians are an old favourite for Gift of Reason... or that sleezy Air Queen/Arch Devil... you've just captured in a fight (Enslave Mind is your friend).

If you want to make a bold statement about your might, nothing beats a Gift of Reasoned Dragonfly, with no fewer than 1HP and abysmal fighting stats. If you are so powerful that you can afford this kind of waste of gem, how could you fail to squash your foes like... well, a dragonfly?

Heh. Gift of Reason the dragonfly. Empower it with Astral magic until you can starting Wish(ing) for Power and Magic Power.

That is then a _Dragon_ Fly!

GoR is fun with cross-breeding, specially if you score an ettin.

(Does anyone actually use cross-breeding? I've played with it a bit, but it seems like the good stuff is depressingly rare...)

Are there any other summoned mobs with magic paths like Tatarians? Or were the Tatarians ment to be used with GoR?

Unless you want to mod/map make or wish for it, there isn't.

tartarians can be good withGoF but gems would be better spent on more tartarians in most cases(might get a commander anyway) other good things are vastness's, abominations, tarrasques and anything you consider worthy of wishing for (ie combat pretender)

At high summoning levels its all tartarians, golems, doom horrors, wraith lords etc. At lower levels...

Banelords, the Devil commander you get from Horde from Hell spell are good and cheap.

Some others that are good with CB mod
Firbolg
Harbinger (with a good blessing)

These you don't see as much but they are lower level summons that can be good thugs if you have a lot of gems
Crusher
Gargoyle

tartarians are the standard recipient for GoR. there is no more efficient use - though at least tartarians are a bit pricier in the mod
