Quick immortal question
You "kill" an immortal pretender whilst you are besieging their capital.
Does the pretender god: a) not respawn at all? b) respawn inside the capital's fort? |
Re: Quick immortal question
Respawn inside castle, assuming friendly dominion.

Re: Quick immortal question
Depending on the pretender, it can be quite a painful thing to deal with.

Re: Quick immortal question
Or if you have a swarm of vampires, that can be tricky.
You want to storm the fort and he sets the vampires to break siege, so first you fight them, and once you kill them you have to do it all over again in the fort. :) |
Re: Quick immortal question
Ugh. This is a CBM Phoenix, which immolates half my army every time I fight it. :(

Re: Quick immortal question
The only downside? Hardly.
The phoenix still can't expand very well on its own and will never be able to take on large enemy forces by itself, which a real SC pretender can do. It also has no slots, so if you take it for F/A diversity you don't get to have a forge discount with it. Sure, the phoenix shines when you're down to just defending your capital, but that's generally not a place you want to be at. The primary asset of the phoenix is just the diplomatic leverage of being a royal PITA to kill, not because you're a real threat. I don't think that anyone has won a competitive (non-noob/mostly experienced players) game with one, which seems odd for something with "no downsides." |
Re: Quick immortal question
I won a game with phoenix (as sauro), although it was non-cbm. He's nice in the back row with some buffs and then spamming shock wave, fire blast, etc.

Re: Quick immortal question
I have a shared victory with a phoenix.
Never used the phoenix pyre vs. an opponent once. Wanted to. Had some nice surprises planned. Never happened. I am particularly fond of Phoenix + Magic Duel. Never got to pull that rabbit out of my hat. |

Re: Quick immortal question
He only implied that was a power based objection. It could be he has some other problem with what cbm does to the phoenix. Maybe he doesn't like onebattlespells.
