Fire-9 bless needs rebalancing !

[archaeolept]

well, I think Shovah is referring to the currently running "Artifact Game"; not as a general point of strategy.

However, fire flags or fire jags are a very cheap way to dominate early. I like having junk national troops that can take down a full-fledged SC

[shovah]

im not refering to the artifact game as i do not believe pythium can get flagelants, im refering to a game im having vrs ashen empire and carrion woods on the urgia map (only sp of course) and ive found that taking 4 commanders with clams and someone to cast will of the fates is generally more cost effective

[archaeolept]

ah i see - yah I wasn't thinking.

its true that will of the fates is one of the best battlefield buff spells, though often I cast the smaller area effect version as it is much simpler to do.

The sword of augelmeir is rather pricey.

will of the fates+warriors of mist+f9 bless=uber troops of army crunching doom

[archaeolept]

hmmm. actually, i don't find mistwarriors as good as one would think - by that stage in the game, its very common to be dealing w/ troops who have magical weapons.

OTOH, F9 + body ethereal you can do from the early game...
