The Ultimate Crystal Amazon Poll
 

Yes, I have done this before. But I'm still convinced that something is wrong with thier chances for appearing. I've played a lot , and have found all the other amazons over a dozen times- but never a crystal. This is despite plains being one of the most common terrian types.

I have added Garnet and Jade to the poll to provide a better average.

And you left room for the "Penultimate Amazon Poll" when you add Onyx Amazons next time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Then there's the Pink PLastic Amazons (inflatable), and the Ex-spouse Amazons. Heh.

I do think you're right though - either there's a bug with Crystal Amazons, _or_ Illwinter decided to make them very very very very rare. (I may have left out a few very's.)

Re: The Ultimate Crystal Amazon Poll
 

Huh? Someone has only found Jade amazons once but Garnet Amazons in most games? (Having seen the results of 2 people voting, and then 3 people voting, I know this was the same person.)

I'm guessing someone who has mostly only played aquatic nations?

I've so very rarely seen ambers, (twice) while I've had Jades in 2 provinces neighboring my capital in one game alone, on Urgaea, and certainly see them in at least 1/4 to 1/2 my games.

Re: The Ultimate Crystal Amazon Poll
 

I think this poll has some structural problems. Perhaps questions with answers like 'never', 'seldom', 'often', & 'constantly' would provide a better feel of the provinces that poll contributers remember better because they were noteworthy in some game or other. That being said it does seem like the crystals are quite a bit less likely. I have only encountered them a couple times during my testbedding of various nations. Often plains battles are terribly dull too; this province has light infantry, militia, and archers - that one has heavy infantry, militia, and archers.

Re: The Ultimate Crystal Amazon Poll
 

i've never seen crystal amazons, nor have they been inn any MP game i've ever been in. I'm sure Norfleet hadn't ever seen them either, Last I asked.

hell, they're not in any MP game on these Boards, I'd bet. I would love to be proven wrong.

Jade amazons otoh are commonplace. I really don't know what's up w/ arryn, unless he plays some bizarre settings, or set maps, or really is referring to Dom I.

frankly, I suspect that people who think they've seen them, haven't.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I wish! Seems like the plains always have knights and heavy cavalries, sometimes with crossbows.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I tend to agree. Or they see them as part of some special senario (like the amazon mod), not randomly generated.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">1. She.
2. Only if you consider the default Dom 2 settings "bizarre".
3. Aran and Orania.
4. Never played Dom 1.

Sorry to disappoint you. Nor do I understand what the big deal is about how I responded to an unscientific poll. It's hardly statistically significant.
