C'Tis - Miasma, Question about cold blodded

JimMorrison · #1 July 17th, 2008, 06:18 PM

Kuritza - I think his point was they are very cool, and they do have tools that can be effective.

I can't count how many times a tactic has been suggested to me, and my experience with it was not very exciting, or I have tried something new that seemed to work great, and other people shot holes through it.

I don't think anyone said MA C'tis is going to be in the top 3 "most likely to win" MA nations, only that they are fun to play, and very interesting and flavorful.

Changing MA Ctis in a way that will allow them to branch into blood (not too easily though) would go a long way to improve MA Ctis mid to late game.

This may be unthematic though, so I'm not sure I like to idea.

Giving any nation a 120gp, sacred B1 mages would go a long way to improve its mid to late game. It'd be an easy enough mod, but I don't like the idea in base game.

Make it 180, non sacred 2 sorcery radnom pick, this way it will be a tough decision whether or not to diversify into blood.

Mmmh I can't see those lovely little lizards sacrificing people

Joking, but even I have doubts on the thematicness of C'tis going into the blood magic :\

Yes, maybe going into blood via a recruitable mage is too far a stretch thematically. But how about it giving them a conj. 5 summons that costs about 30D to get an undead Pandemoniac. The spell description could relate to the history of wars vs Pangaea and the newly discovered costum of reanimating the Pandemoniacs in ancient battle fields.

The undead Pan should get something like 3 B/D picks, or 2B+1D fixed paths.

sounds better?

Kuritza · #7 July 18th, 2008, 06:15 AM

30D means you wont have enough hunters anyway. For such price, you can just as well summon lamia queens and pray you're lucky with random picks.

>> Now, instead of mediocre, say "A nation with a number of challanging difficulties, that requires planning and thoughtful play to get the most of" Sounds a lot better doesn't it?

Lets make it 'nation with a greater-than-normal number of challenging difficulties, also known as handicap'
