Well I am going to make it hard research as stated in the first post. Is that bad?

Re: Fools Lament II - Newbies Welcome
 

No, this was what I was expecting and what I planned for. If you were to suddenly change back to normal research, I would have wanted to take Pythium back or something.

Ok, I'll try as Mictlan.

Question: Sea Troll kings produce water gems each turn. Are these allowed?

Re: Fools Lament II - Newbies Welcome
 

They better be allowed or these house rules are getting really silly.

The no blood stone thing is already pushing it. Has anyone ever mass produced blood stones for the earth gem? It's by far the most expensive free gem out there.

Re: Fools Lament II - Newbies Welcome
 

i've mass produced blood stones but only w/ the forge up

otherwise, yeah, they are expensive and difficult to exploit, and provide a fairly important +1 earth bonus for mictlan and aybsia especially.

Re: Fools Lament II - Newbies Welcome
 

Sea troll kings and troll kings are fine. They are expensive, and require upkeep, so they do not yield the kind of growth curve that fetishes/stones/clams do.

Blood stones may be the most expensive free gem producer out there but its still cheap. I have mass produced them without too much trouble as Abysia. Granted they are not as good as clams and fetishes...

As for being an important +E boost, you should be able to do fine with earth boots and staff of elemental mastery... how many +E items do you need?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Also eliminating fetishes/stones/clams makes the forge a little less of a game winning global. Still very good! But not grotesquely awesome http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Are all pretenders uploaded?
If so can we start?

Missing Pangea and Ctis... Also I must edit the mapfile.

Also for races whose mages don't have any feet and can't wear earth boots. Several of the races that are left open are affected by this.
