Hey! I actually kinda like the amulet of vengeance. Works well on a1 or s1 mages who cast air shield or twist fate/luck, then attack closest. Just make sure that they aren't deployed beside your other commanders in case someone gets lucky... BOOM!

I'm inclined to agree http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Slave collars should be made en masse and then wisely gifted to opposing AI nations.

The power of the spheres effect is automatically active in battle or you have the option to cast it even if you don't know it?

Re: Crystal Shield
 

Automatic boost to all paths.

Is it actually a power of the spheres, though? Does it stack?

Re: Crystal Shield
 

It's Power of the Spheres cast in the beginning of the battle, so no PotS will be cast afterwards even if it's scripted. So, no stacking.

Re: Crystal Shield
 

Hmmm, does that work with Communion Matrices? Slaves get the PotS boost?

Re: Crystal Shield
 

I believe so, which might be a good way to exploit the bug of resourceful slaves http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Crystal Shield
 

I just tried it with a Robe of Invulnerability and the Crystal Shield, and no, neither work with Master/slave matrices.

You have to cast spells for the communion to take effect. Item effect don't carry over unless the item casts the effect. Most items just grant effects. Enchantment spells like storm are actually cast. Fire res, strength of gaia, etc are just granted effects. If one of the slaves cast PotS with a pearl it sould apply to all.
