I have now witnessed how baleful star is possibly overpowered for its price

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

In this version, it is.

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

In the old days when everyone always took 2-3 misfortune, baleful star was no big deal. But with the CB mods, people are taking luck frequently. In my opinion, this is why it has become a pretty good spell (especially against a luck-3 nation). I have used it recently in some games too.

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

the strength is not in the misfortune, or even the curses. the strength is that it causes unrest, and being cheap, can be spammed like crazy to reduce your enemies resources/income.

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

Exactly. The other effects are pretty negligible, but is the 30 unrest effect which almost everyone seemed unaware of until the spell became cheap enough people were willing to give it a shot.

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

which is why it got nerfed a little in the most recent cb

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

yeah, but that doesn't help my cause in this game :/

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

do you know who is casting it on you?

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

probably pythium, that is my guess.

Re: Turn 62 Proposition
 

Pythium's looking pretty scary... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
