Re: LA Atlantis, another thread looking for tips
 

hidden in snow can actually be used by atlantis in LE for diversification, though I wouldn't try it too much. Also, send tupilak is a pretty neat asssasination spell, and Catoblepas with death gaze can be pretty fun as well.

Re: LA Atlantis, another thread looking for tips
 

I have to agree. Send Tupilak is a nice assassination spell though a little expensive for comfort.

As you can't equip it, it is rather poor at handling crowds, thanks to its low attack and defense.

On the plus side
A solid magic resistance of 12 protects them from indie priests. One tupilak, although undead, can take down most priests.

Excellent hitpoints. They can shrug off firebolts, and most area affect spells actually work to your advantage. For instance, leeching darkness and fireball often kill off via 'friendly fire' those bodyguards your tupilak couldn't.

Excellent Strength - offset by the lack of any weapons, but good enough to kill typical humans.

They will usually be torn down by five bodyguards, but can take down many unprotected mage/priests.

Yea, LA Atlantis has surprised me twice in 2 different MP games this way. Both times proving fatal. Its a good surprise tactic.
