Yeah, in the test game I ran I couldn't find an indie to scratch my guy, then 4 turns into the real game he takes a lance to the forehead. :/

Is the Ancient Master dead, or was that an awake Wyrm? Killing off the Ancient Master is not an easy thing to do.

Well, Dr. P killed him off last game with frozen heart, but surely the good Dr. does not have that researched quite yet.

The Ancient Master fell in single (almost) combat with the Blood Cursed champion!

Long live Mictlan!

Wow! Turn 7 and 3 of the 18 Epic Heroes are dead-that we know of.

The Blood-Cursed Champion and the Angel of Death are both just sickly powerful. Though I think the Ancient Master is certainly capable of killing the Blood-Cursed Champion. The Quivering Palm can bring down anything if it lands-unless he had lightning protection. It is a shock attack.

Dr. P can correct me, but I think he lost the Blood-Cursed Champion in a single combat to an Atlantis Worthy Hero last game. One more reason to never take misf, as that reduces your chance of getting another thug. Some of the Worthy Heroes are quite "Epic."

All of the Epic Heroes are designed to be valuable, though not all of them are designed to take provinces early.

Yeah, that's correct.

I lost him vs. the escaped traitor prince, in personal combat, I believe, who had been tricked out quite fierce. The traitor prince was then brought down by a host of the surrounding jaguar warriors.

Actually, the more I think about it, unless the Blood-Cursed Champion had a fire bless up, I think the Ancient Master would defeat him 1 v 1. Blood-Cursed Champion has 3 poison based attacks and the Ancient Master is immune to poison-but not fire.

I do think it is a mistake to make most Epic Heroes a Prophet though, as that is one of the reasons Dr. P lost his Blood-Cursed Champion in EH1. If memory serves, Dr. P lamented that the fight with the Traitor Prince took place in enemy dominion.

Maybe Shinuyama can post a screenshot of the battle? I doubt Mictlan will willingly divulge his bless, though an s9 f9 are almost certainly his bless, with maybe a n4 or b4 thrown in.

I prophetized the monkey king, as in the testgames he went from immortal but dies always to immortal and wins always, and as he does not have hp anyway it is not really important as he will be killed after the first hit.
