Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

Ulm's stealthy troops, with some mage support, seem to do pretty well against it. Then again, Ulm's stealthy troops are pretty good.

They're in my game now kind of beating the crap out of everybody else. I'll try some of my ideas out and see how they work.

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

I have only played them in EA but i think only the biggest giants eat the population in EA. I thought i read something about them not eating each other and everything else in one of the later ages but not really sure?

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

In EA the rephaim all eat population and can also eat avvim and each other. My Baal ate a Melqart the other day. I think he may have gained power by doing so actually.

Kullervo, perhaps?

Umm, wrong mythos. But I still hope to see a Kailevala mod some day.

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

o yea they do eat each other which was quite annoying. I had a melqart with 4 experience stars from the arena and one of the baal ate him and didnt gain anything. I was a bit upset

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

He probably became more powerful in blood magic, unless you had empowered him already.

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

When do they eat? I usually take growth 2.. and have yet to see it.

Butit makes me wonder about an interesting strategy.. could you send 4 wounded afflicted giants into the desert with one Bel?

Might that be a cheap empower?

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

The rephaim constantly eat population but you don't get any message about it. They can also create events where they eat avvim or each other, merely by being in the same place. It isn't /very/ common though.

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

hmm ill have to check and see if he did become more powerful. I was thinking maybe he gained some health or strength from the other giant.

Re: The New Hinnom Nation
 

Are you sure they constantly eat population, or do they only eat population if supply is insufficient?

I usually take growth with this nation - and I haven't seen pop decreasing...
