Default Re: Water queens may be way overpowered.

a high defence unit just shouldn't be attacked with one unit.. you attack them with loads of attacks

Agri: try this earth elemental with a stone bird, the nature helmet that gives the gore attack, 2 swords of quickness, an amulet of luck, a ring of regen things like that.. givin high number of attacks

then have him cast the buffs previously mentioned

or try him with petrify as mentioned above

Thats no good cause if you were going to build an SC like that you'd want it to either have feet for Boots of Quickness, or at least 1 pick in water to cast Quicken Self.

At least I would I guess.

But I think you're arguing a moot point. Everyone knows Dominions isn't made to be a balanced game. Every nation is not necessarily on par with every other nation. Sure they may be close, but the only way to be 100% balanced is for every nation(elemental royalty ) to be the exact same. And no one really wants that do they?

Water queens are not overpowered, indeed the elemental royalty as a whole is somewhat underpowered. I had a air queen recently kitted out with 50 gems worth of gear, so a 100 gem investment in total.

Killed by a 2S mind hunt. They only bothered doing 1 mind hunt because that was more than enough. 24 MR was no defence.

Elemental royalty are lucky if they last more than 2-3 months when you put them into battle against someone who knows how to kill them.
