Well...talk about an intimidating game!

Although I am no fan of arguments based upon appeal to authority, I may make an exception for QM. He simply knows the game *that* well from a balance perspective. But then it's not necessary to simply trust his assertions since he always backs them up.

Oh, and he used to crush me with very unpleasant regularity back when I hung out on IRC.

I find that titans with air can be very devastating in mid game. Once you have wrathful skies you may drop it on an army having the right resistances and that army is history. You can do this long before your opponent have anything to counter your 200-300 hp god.

In Alpaca Digress had a Frost Father which turned out to be the most powerful SC I've ever seen (which took me by surprise since I was never very scared of titans). Unfortunately I can't remember the details, although I do remember it had a cold aura of 40(!).

[Folket]

Frost Father? He only got 10 hp. in dominion 10 that becomes 30, but still he should easily be taken out by lots of things.

Perhaps you meant a Father of Winter.

[Digress]

Yes the poor fella was the Father of Winter ... was countered in the end (oh for a couple of mammoths ).

The biggest problem being big is being big - your opponent can always script "attack large monsters" and your poor pretender gets a right shellacking.

Cold aura caps out at 24, I think. Stack a Niefel Jarl with enough cold-enhancing items and other stuff (Rime Hauberk, Breath of Winter, cold scale 3) and he stops getting any increases at 24. He'll actually ignore the scripted Breath of Winter because it won't add anything.

Ahhh, one more mystery solved. "why is BoW ignored *sometimes*?"
