Raven feast. Don't know if anyone has ever got more gems than the number of gems he put in the spell ?

Norfleet aside

The attached jpg comes from the turn after I nuked someone's capital with 2 or 3 Black Deaths. It seems you need to generate a lot of unburied corpses to make hay with raven feast, but it can be done.

Number of deathgems generated by ravenfeast was squareroot of corpses divided by three.

My bad, it seems useful in such cases.

I agree Ravenfeast is a (virtually) useless spell, it would be easy to fix really, just change the formula to squareroot, full stop or if that makes it too powerful, just divide by 2 not 3.

I have played loads of MP and the most corpses I have seen in a province is 500 or so and thats rare.

In the Eventide game I was Ashen Ermor and was completely liquidating populations via pillage with gigantic armies. I got up to 1500-2000+ corpses pretty regularly I remember.... in two turns I could usually clear an entire province.

Unfortunately I didn't have an air mage high enough to cast Raven Feast but I had about 20 priests that were raising the dead and moving with the army.

If you were raising those corpses... might have been worth it for somebody else to cast Raven Feast to reduce your likely meatshield count.

Kind of a big if, that.

Sorry to break topic, but that thread linked to by morkilus was hilarious. I had no idea Dom2 had such characters. Deny deny, deny, leave. Awesome. He could run for office.

Bah, I could only raise a small percentage of the corpses before they rotted away even with the 15 dedicated priests.
