Human Pretender Screenshots
 

I thought I'd go ahead and start a thread regaling the fun and good times to be had with Human Pretenders.

Qualifications:

</font>

• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Human Pretender, No Demigods or Undead</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Played in a Game vs Hard or Impossible</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Turn 1, Middle Game, and (if you are there) End Game Screenshots</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">List your Nation, Scales, Dominion, Castle</font>
• <font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Optional: Some fun or interesting stories about the game or Pretender choices/trials you faced.</font>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
So here we go with mine:

Pretender: Enchantress named Yna
Nation: T'ien Ch'i Spring and Autumn
Scales: Turmoil 1, Magic 3
Castle: Watch Tower
Dominion: 4

In order to keep this thread from loading slower than sin, I have some links to some other key players in the game.

My Prophet who began preaching the Will of Yna from Turn 1 (Picture at Turn 28, same as Yna)
Rhuax the King of Magma, was summoned on Turn 24
Golem Brother 1 (summoned on Turn 20)
Golem Brother 2 (summoned on turn 21)
1 of 3 of the HoF Celestial Masters (have been in since turn 6 or 7)
2 of 3 of the HoF Celestial Masters
3 of 3 HoF Celestial Masters

Double post. I am filled with shame.

Wuzza? Not to go TOO off topic, but that broken sword icon on Yna part deux is... unfamiliar.

Re: Human Pretender Screenshots
 

That is the Broken Armor symbol.

From the massive amounts of Acid Rain that are cast. It effectively reduces Prot to the Natural Protection (Non-Armor Protection).

Re: Human Pretender Screenshots
 

prolly a dumb question Zen, but how are you grabbing those screen shots ?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">How come she still has a protection of 10? It doesn't affect magical armors, or it only applies to body armor?

Re: Human Pretender Screenshots
 

Applies I believe only to Body Armor. Also when you get overland if you have a province with like 20ish resources it will heal it.

In order to get the Screenshot I used Gimp, which has an aqquire function.

Re: Human Pretender Screenshots
 

And here's mine. Egira the Great Enchantress, goddess of Pythium.

Her scales are order 3, misfortune 2 with a wizard's tower.

Turn 1:

Turn 25:

Of course, this picture doesn't tell the full story, which is the mass of communicants that I'm toting around. There's about 30-40 of them in total now.

A typical battle.

Heh. If I still had one of my human pretender games to post the results of, it'd be a Great Enchantress also - SG Ermor, so 4s and 5s in 6 magic areas or so.

Odd nobody has a Hag or Freak Lord to show. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Although I also had a Druid with Machaka, until Norfleet's server ate the game (generating gigabyte files and all). The extra vine men / vine ogres were occasionally helpful in the beginning, but rapidly lost their appeal.

Re: Human Pretender Screenshots
 

I'm writing a blog/diary of one pbem game in which im using a Rainbow human pretender. I wrote a couple pages on my thought processes of just picking the paths out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif but im not certain i should publish it since i don't want to fubar my chances at the game just yet. OTOH, i doubt the game will finish in this year (honestly).

Anyone here playing in Anaxagorasis' Cradle 2 game?

PS Resize those first couple screenshots. No need to be that big, we know what pixels look like. Back to the land of VGA with you!
