If you concentrate on the spider ,its probably adviseable to take more N for higher regen.Something like W4S4N6...well,now that i think of it: N9 would make the spiders pretty strong. |
Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
I wouldn't consider S9 as very helpful to the spiders once they lose their riders. Their mr is still their obvious weakness and it isn't boosted enough to shore it up against mr check spells.
It's great for the riders though. |

Afflictions are a huge problem with the hunters,expecially for the low HP rider,N really is a must for both forms. If you take E9 you got prot 24,so if you take damage,its often pretty low damage,like 1-3.Ive learned in my games that the lonely 1Regen helps a lot there,too. Also your spideriders do face fatigue problems,because you are getting swarmed and many battles last 12+ turns. The base 20 prot is as such wasted bc of critical hits sooner or later.U need reinvig for large battles. Twist fate isnt helpful,since you are getting hit by a lot small damages. Only thing instead of E9N4 could imo be E9N9,though u take a big hit in much needed scales there. N9 solely makes the riders fatigue problem even bigger,though it helps the spider more. |
Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
Actually, a minor B bless would also be very helpful, as it would guarantee that your spiders' bite attack would penetrate for the death poison.
Edit: Oh, and I think people forget how incredibly tough it is to kill Machaka's mages on the battlefield when they just turn into spiders. The same applies to armageddons. |
Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
What's this about a nerf to astral magic now?

Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
Probably this means clam nerf?

Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
You can only recruit hunters from capital. I wouldn't spend design points to bless a capital only unit. A minor bless can work b/c usually you can get it as a side effect of SC/rainbow pretender. More than that is not required for hunters. I'm not arguing that they are not good or overpriced. I'm saying regular spider can carry the day for Machaka in early game. Don't forget that you will want your riders to die so that you get no upkeep so the regular spiders are also 0 upkeep - what's not to like.
That said, Machaka is not competitive and no FF factory hurts them a lot. I think 1 extra D/E/F/N pick on their mages is a good boost for them. Their mages, not spiders or armies are their real power. |

Re: Nations under CBM 1.6
common, besides the fact that you can only crank so much of a sacred capital only unit (so you get diminishing potential returns on your bless investment as the game progresses) this practically cries out to shut down your capital with spies/unrest spells. And in that case you have put all the eggs in the same basket and someone will have just punched a hole in it's bottom.

So your niefel build would revolve around skratti?
