Ah, only if you could build that Sarlath rod...it would be so fitting for a mummy.

What is that? It's not letting me wish for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

Well the holy_4 and high precision would make him a great killer of undead units... not sure if any of your opponents are using undead. An item to increase his penetration would help too.

The winter bringer is a good setup, but you may want to pass that item to another commander you want entering the hall of fame. When you switch I would advise having the mummy use the bow of war with 'fire at archers' command.

Is this a multiplayer game or singleplayer game... what nations are you fighting? Any nations have their large pretenders walking around?

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

The "Sarlath rod" which real name I forgot is a Blood artifact that allows the caster to shoot Banefire. Perhaps some other stuff too. Let me check the manual...

Ah, it's called Sceptre of Corruption. Has it's drawbacks though, notably it curses the wielder and gives a slight chance of horror mark.

Single player, mighty AIs, but they're all a lot smaller than me now, so I'm just sort of playing around with the end game stuff to learn a bit. Haven't seen any large combat pretenders really.

Ahh thanks I'll try it out.

I appreciate the suggestions guys.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

Super-precise Banefire for 5 fat is worth it though I think. Your Shinuyama right? Slap Boots of Quickness on him and you're ready for Mass Destruction. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

How would you guys use a mummy with 28 precision and 4 levels of holy (not unholy).

Prophet (Bakemono General) got killed after 40 turns in the hall of fame with heroic precision and brought back as a mummy and reprophetized (+1 holy).

I stuck him with a bunch of wights and unfrozen (cold and disease immune) and gave him a winter bringer (falling frost wand) and sword of injustice (for the automatic protection of the sepulchure), and just have him stand back and spam 28 precision falling frosts on my enemies.

But it sorta seems like a waste, anyone have a better build for a super high precision unit with a wind of leprosy? Maybe bow of war or thunder bow on fire rear to try and snipe commanders? I tried him with an ethereal crossbow and he didn't really hit as often as you'd think for such a high precision.

The Black Bow of Botuf could be fun to play with too, they only thing worse than a dead mage is a feebleminded mage because they still have to pay upkeep http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

BBoB had it's heyday in Dom: PPP where you could aim enemy mages.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

That mummy with a bow of war and boots of quickness set to fire rear would be great at killing human mages. If you have alot of gems you could always empower for shadowblast spammage/other large AoE spells.

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

If you've got the gems for Wish, do you have the gems to empower the mummy to cast Gifts from Heaven? The -3 prec of that spell is nasty, but with the caster's prec of 28...

Re: Thug/SC/Assasin builds thread

I wonder if the two meteors could hit the same square with high enough precision...
