Default Re: Mists of Deception -- exploit??

It is not really open to debate. If the developer says it is a major bug and is on the short list to be fixed-it is a major bug.

While you may agree or disagree with whether or not it SHOULD be fixed, I do not think you can argue that it is not a bug when the developers say it is.

As an aside, what is so wrong with sacrificing a mage to take out an enemy army? Sure you lose the mage, but if he kills more than the cost of the mage, the battlefield spells are still worth it.

In one of my mp games I use mages to cast foul vapors and left them on the field of battle until they died. It is still worth it when you cripple a big army and only lose a few mages.

People wanting to kill a whole army and not even risk the mage casting the spell seems like a bit much.

You're right, it's not open to debate. I'm just saying getting pissed at people who do it is only going to result in high blood pressure until a change is made by the developers. Trying to "ban" it for MP is futile.

Everything's open to debate, though, isn't it? There's plenty of stuff that works as designed that we try to get the devs to change on these boards.

There's no harm in trying to convince them not to fix it if you feel strongly about it.
