Q. about LavaWarriors

shovah · #1 March 11th, 2006, 09:54 PM

the lava warriors have the low defence because of: their armour, and their 2 weapos (which each have a defence penalty)

The 2 weapons...

That explains it!

Thanks!

np, and since there defence is rubbish anyway try them with an offensive bless (i like b6 f6 or somewhere around there if you dont want to go too expensive)

I suppose b6 should be n6

Given the 2 attacks, a f9 blessing might be good as well... but I think it's not worth to do a bless strategy with Abysia. Lava warriors can't stand up to demons which you will undoubtly summon with Abysia. And even if you don't use blood magic and concentrate on massive armies with lots of mages hurling fiery doom of all sorts on your enemy (Abysia is really good at those things), you are better served with the much more endurable Abysian infantry. Cheaper but with more standing power, at least thats my experience.

Btw Shovah: How did you manage to do so many posts in such a short time?

i have so many post due to my obscene amounbt of free time, and i mean b6 to be b6 because the bonus it gives to strength is handy although f9 b4-6 would be nice too.
i also agree that a bless stategy is bad, b6 f6 isnt because it opens up some nice spells and items

i don't think i've ever seen a succesful bless strat w/ base aby - the darn lava warriors move too slowly, have no shields, and are just far too difficult to amass due to the resource system. Guardians of the Pyre in the CB mod are viable though.

shovah · #7 March 13th, 2006, 03:32 PM

yea you cant put your whole strat on an aby bless.

edit: just had my first go wqith blood of humans under a cb mod (ive only used em before) and i just want to say im impressed. my only problem is the fact that your only non capitol mages are b1 h2 and f1 h2 (the guardians of the pyre are sweet though)

Ah,I'm sorry, I was actually unable to identify what b stands for, so I thought "hm, maybe he pressed the wrong key and meant n".
Well you usually don't see blood involved in a bless strategy, so it took me some time to get the meaning

shovah · #9 March 14th, 2006, 02:28 PM

yea, i dont base the bless on blood, its just more useful to aby (in general) than nature
