[Sir_Dr_D]

All of Marignon takes a momment of silence. They pray for the recently departed Mister Clacky, and that he will find redemption within the great void.

Dammit - domain kill. How embarrasing.

Suffice it to say that I didn't have nearly the domain strength that Panjang did, and hadn't hired any Bishop Fish to help out. Both were mistakes I paid for.

Is the Atlantis hero supposed to have any strengths beyond being a competent mage?

[Xietor]

Atlantis Hero has a good summon. The Silver Orang. He also has a Death Touch attack. Similar to life for a life-but can
only be used once per battle.

He also produces 2d gems a turn. Skellies come to him in good numbers.

[Gregstrom]

Sorry, I meant Oceania. I keep doing that... :-(

[Xietor]

Oceania has a 60 hp mr 22 Basalt king with good magic paths
and a forge ability. Sort of a warrior mage. My thoughts were he should be made a prophet and with a n4 bless could likely take provinces solo right off the bat.

He has no secret abilities or summons, however. Just a very tough hero out of the box. more so if he is made a prophet.

[Gregstrom]

I liked the paths, but never tried prophetising him. Trrying him as a SC without the prophet bless just got him dead, unlike the land SC heroes, so I didn't rate him for that.

[Xietor]

In my test, making him a prophet with a n4 bless, made him fairly powerful if you attacked in provinces having your dominion.

Few land heroes are tougher. Arcos Epic Hero, who I am playing, would never be sent solo into a province whether a prophet or not. Nor would vanheims.

Not all Epic Heroes are meant to be thugs. Though Beowulf, the Ancient Master, and a few others are clearly that. Edi designed the Oceania Epic Hero. And he is fairly tough.

Ryleh's Epic Hero is tough also, but I likely would not attemt to take a sea province solo with him. And Atlantis' hero is clearly not designed to be a thug.

So of the 3 water races, Oceania's Epic Hero is best designed to be a thug, but id say he needs the prophet bless and n4 to safely take provinces. One should never take a province blind on the 1st turn.

I know Dr. P and others risk it, but it is a risk. Knights can kill most of the Epic heroes if they get their charge attacks to land. And the air mage pd will kill any Epic Hero
that does not have lightning protection-and few do.

The monkey king is quite strong, too bad i did not get a heroic ability that gives hitpoints :/
