The Growth Scale

[chrispedersen]

I have played D3 fairly often - I don't think its that bad - its the d3L-3 that sucks bad.

Just in terms of events, generally speaking, turmoil and barbarians are worse than the death plague events.

*if* you are playing a Turmoil/Luck approach, you can also play death, it is not as bad as many other alternatives. Luck will give you sufficient income to support an SC or mage based strategy - although probably not a non-sacred army.

*IF* all or most of your magaes are death mages, you can take a death scale with virtual impunity, as very few of your mages will get death afflicted. by death mage I mean at least d2, and preferably d3/d4.

Also, I don't think ancient presence wipes out 90% consistently. Its bad - but I don't recall it being that consistently bad.
