Uh, oh. It looks like Vger's been feebleminded. No more Void Gate for him.

Given that Starspwn have only a 5% chance of feebelmindedness, it's not a bad deal. Once their summoning skill increases, they really start pulling in the good spawns.

What's more likely and dangerous than the feeblemindedness is the outright attacks on your summoner. What you can do is assign the immobile summons to act as bodyguards for the summoner. If the summoner gets attacked, the "Guard Commander" units defend. I also like to slap a anti-magic amulet on my summoner, because the biggest threat is from Mind Burn attacks. My Starspawn beat a Vastness once in one-on-one combat.

EDIT: Another tip is to add a Ring of Warning so you can have 10 bodyguards.

huh, the usual starspawn has a chance of 5% to get feebleminded ? You must be wrong, thats TOTALLY out of way. That would mean each starspawn could get 20 summon tries in average, thats DEFINITLY not how it is right now.

Even the Stargazer himself has a bigger chance, im almost 100% sure.


Edit: Major typo

I believe it's 5% for the Priest Starspawn (may be 10%) and 2% for the Stargazer.

uh Zen has spoken. I have to admit Zen is well known and really into the game, he is right most times.

Anyway, i tried 2 games with luck 3 to the Stargazer and both time he got feebleminded after 4 Summon tries (3 were succesfull), so he even got the summoning 3 skill .


5 % ?
