Only N picks (or D picks if you're undead) increase max age.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

Mother of Serpents and the Priestesses of Arcoscephale don't have much trouble with either, but can't fix the undead. MA Arcoscephale's Astrologers have a nasty habit of getting Feebleminded frequently while Mind Hunting. The Priestess is truly the unit that allows this strategy to be viable for Arcoscephale and no other astral nations.

Mother of Serpents could be used to take the Mind Hunt strategy for other nations, but you either have to wish for one, or tie your pretender up on healing.

Not quite true. Earth gems increase constructs.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

Ta, I wasn't aware of that one.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

What does that mean?- Did you mean earth picks?

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

yah. earth paths.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

So what is the earth path constructs bonus formula?

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

See the FAQ at the top of the forum.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

copy that.

so "The maxage of lifeless creatures is increased by 50% of original maxage per point of Earth magic." - this sounds like a pretty useless bonus. The prot. bonus is cool though.

Re: Better Know a Pretender: the Crone
 

No more useless than the maxage bonus for Nature or Death magic, which is exactly the same.

Except that constructs tend to have higher maxages and not start as near them. But that's usually true of undead as well.

If Earth applies to lifeless and Death to undead, which applies to lifeless undead? I'd assume Death, but I hadn't thought of it before.
