Dirk the Average posted:Depends on the god. Eventually they'll eat enough horror marks from horror attacks that they'll attract a big enough horror to eat them, but some gods last longer than others. If you've got a giant fuckoff dragon, for instance, it can easily eat a lot of horrors. If you've got a crone, on the other hand, she might just get eaten immediately the first time a lesser horror pops up. How does that interact with pretenders like the phoenix? Will it get to the point that they will fight against horrors every single turn? And are horror marks wiped if you die "for real" and are brought back by your priests?

amuayse posted:Tests indicate that anything below MR 23 when attacking/shooting/casting damage spells/looking in the general direction at Blood Vengeance +0 units is hazardous. What values of MR do most mages start out? I imagine it could be difficult to get too much magic resistance. What methods are there anyway? Some crafted gear. Does Astral magic give mages a passive bonus to MR? Is there a spell to buff MR? Anything else?

Lilli posted:I'm slightly reluctant to post why we picked each of our nations since our composition has much to do with our team strategy. That being said, I'm willing to post an AAR about why we did what we did and what our (or at least my) thoughts were going into the game and how we did during it. Since you are fighting against dirty (forum-)foreigners, I think everybody understands if you don't post more stuff or your thoughts about the on-going game. As long as we get an AAR where we see you go  against your enemies we will be satisfied.

Chomp8645 posted:It looks like the next thing on my list is to figure out how the hell sieges work. I was doing alright against the AI until my main (enormous) army with my pretender spent at least 10 turns trying to bash down a castle gate with seemingly no progress, while in the mean time Caelum was able to burst into my fortress in something like four turns. Basically, sieges work by pitting the units inside the fort against the units outside. If you have more guys besieging the castle than there are defenders, you will reduce the defense value a certain amount. Different castles have different defense values, with capitals typically the highest values. If you cannot outnumber the defenders then the siege will make no progress. BUT castles also have a limited supply, when this is used up the defenders will begin to die. So many dudes inside the castle can prevent besiegers from making progress in tearing down the walls, but they will eat up the supplies quickly. Except if the have certain magic items and nature mages that feed them I guess. Castles can be build up to have more supplies and better defenses, but capitals always start with a fully built up castle. If Caelum besieges one of your new, undefended castles while you siege their capital it is no wonder that they took less time to siege it down. There are troops who count double or more for defending castles (you should have some as well as MA Man) and for sieging castles (you are out of luck as Man). You can craft magic items (with earth paths) that give a sieging bonus.

One thing I would love were buttons to adjust values by 5 or 10, instead of one. I like to put 5 or 10 PD in my provinces, and casting a big spell with 20 additional gems can get tiring. And I am always afraid that somebody will snap up important mercenaries, so I don't mind spending 50 gold more than the suggested amount, but it leads to too much clicking.

akulanization posted:EA Caelum gets a stealthy sacred flyer and better Harab Seraphs. Seraphines also have F1 in EA now, so I think the nation wants to raid much more aggressively than it did before and you can justify a cheap bless. Caelian infantry isn't good by any metric, but it has a use with its moderately powerful charge bonuses for small amounts of gold. The Conj 7 summon is very nice, 30 gems for A3S2H3 are respectable paths for a bunch of things; it can claim thrones, thug with built in awe and ethereal, and summon itself with a starshine skullcap at a minimum. The death troop summons are good if you can get the income and are not an order nation or fighting an order nation (so not that good in practice) as they have inbuilt fear. The mage summons in death are good for magic diversity and can give you some high level paths, but they are very expensive, will require a god or empowerment to cast, and will not be able to thug because of chaospower. I think that taking astral on your god is a good idea for EA Caelum, empower a harab in fire if you get lucky with income for the death stuff. I only know Dom4 through the demo, the LP's and the Mod Inspector, so I don't have the most experience with the game. But to that "completely unrelated" sentence: Lucky for Caelum to have mages able to cast thunder ward AND troops inherently resistant to lightning who ALSO have magic weapons. Curious how that works sometimes.

Boing posted:So it looks like scripting Summon Storm Power is really annoying because your mages won't cast it unless there's a storm already up. Which means if you have 9 A2 mages and one A3 mage with some gems, you better hope the A3 mage is first in the casting order so he can do Storm before the rest of them, else your guys have to wait til turn 3 to start casting their evocations. Especially since it's really hard to boost your A2 of choice to A3 and will probably have to rely on random paths to get that A3. Yes, casting order is fixed. It will always be the same mage who goes first, so if you have any boosters or empower the A2 mage who always goes first then your problem will go away.
