C'Tis - Miasma, Question about cold blodded

[Twan]

Personnally I'd like to see poison immune units also immune to the miasma effects, like they were in dom 2 iirc. It doesn't seem unthematic and would give C'tis a reliable way to protect indies mages (for 5 gems each), and to invaders a way to protect their valuable leaders.

But even in current state, I don't think C'tis to be underpowered. Marshmaster are really excellent for a mage recruitable *in any fort* (and as well C'tis has access to smithing priests everywhere) + don't forget the miasma income bonus.

[WraithLord]

The smithing is good for early game only.

The marshmasters are great, plus income bonus give two factors in favor of Ctis.

That said, in end game income is less important since the board is controlled by SCs, in this department MA Ctis lacks sorely both in access to SCs and in access to forging in order to equip them.

I don't think MA Ctis is a weak nation, but its certainly not powerful. In the hands of a skilled player with a sound game plan it can achieve solid results. That's it I think.

In late game C'tis can summon hordes of Tartarians. It is a pity that they are nerfed in the latest patch.

[Tifone]

It's actually a nice thing IMHO... the Shattered Soul trait is very thematic and everybody was complaining for their complete late-game dominance.

[Lingchih]

Yeah, the Tartarians are a pain in the *** now... very hard to keep them focused. I still summon them though. They're still too good to pass up.

[WraithLord]

I agree. Tartarians are the key to Ctis end game strategy.
I think the problem that MA Ctis has is mainly in mid to late game, in that gap between conj6-7 and conj 9 (when struggling with research of:
Code:

---

  

const 6-8 for items;

Thaum 5-7 for soul slay, charm

evoc 5-7 for shadow blast or bolt or whatever, stream of life;

Alt 6 for darkness;

Ench 7 for pale riders, rigor mortis, life after death and liches

---

)

But I reiterate my previous assessment which I think is consensus here, MA Ctis is solid but not shinning, amazing powerful nation.
