Cavemen

Thanks Cor2. Have you GORed a Monster Fish and equipped it with a Fish Amulet? I have been meaning to.

Thanks Wic. However the robe is only 5 gems so we are still at 20 air gems. Plus 10 earth and 5 nature for the boots and bear t-man.

The point is .....what is the cost of fun. Don't you get board with same old same old? Sometimes neat is it's own reward. You are not doing this for a archer that can kill almost any heavy footman in one shot. You are doing this for one that could kill any heavy armored unit in one shot but prefers to shoot militia. Cause he's going to hit the one chaff in the middle of massed armor.

You think you guys squander gems? Ha! I laugh at you. You sink 10-20 gems into an
archer, and think you're being wasteful. You've got nothing. Nothing, I tell you.

In the Dominions II Free for All tournament, in a very competive MP game, I
got a few of my provinces hit by multiple Exhibit As. When I started patrolling
to root them out, I unearthed Exhibit B.

Now, THAT was a waste of gems. Observe, and give the mistress her due.

Just a Fish Amulet? Why don't you give the Monster Fish a Fish Amulet, and the Gift of Kurgi, for true Flying Monster Fish Madness! LA Atlantis is probably best to try this, since at least they've got some land to get blood hunting on, and a B4 bless on Arssartuts is not a complete waste. You'd probably lose the race to Const 8 in MP though.

Back to the original topic ... I'm always trying to find a good thug to give some fire bolas to. 50 shots! A little Aim, and Strength of Giants, could buff up a squad of double-fire-bola firing cavemen nicely.

[Cor2]

Oh yes, the GORed monster fish is a natural.
My favorite GOR is Eater of the Dead, when it goes ballistic hopefully its deep in enemy territory.

Flying monster fish from the neither void!

Armies of fire bola chucking cavemen!

These are things I have to try.

[Forrest]

vfb, I stand corrected. Yes, Kurgi....it is so obvious. Now.

Fire-bolas? How could I have missed it? Double chunking at almost short bow range. Very doable.

[Renojustin]

Then add boots of quickness for extra special fiery fun. Imagine the look on the other guy's face when your 10 cavemen shoot 40 fire bolas and stop a cavalry charge dead in its tracks.

[vfb]

I was thinking the same thing, and tested Boots of Quickness with the Fire Bolas, but I couldn't seem to get them to fire more than once each. Maybe they just shoot two at the same square?

[Renojustin]

They'd have to be pretty darn accurate...
