Mechanical Militia
 

hi friends,
I've cast a GE "Mechanical Militia" with a big number of earth gems (80) but result has been a failure....!!
can you explain me why ?
......."Your global enchantment was overpowered by the existing global enchantment and failed to take effect"

"....overpowered"...!?...in this moment there are five global in working. Is this the reason ?

very thanks

Yes, there can only be 5 GE at the same time. If you cast one it will try to override one of the 5 existing GEs, selected at random.
If you read the manual, it's quite equivalent to casting a dispel, it depends a lot on the lvl of the caster and the number of gems you put in it in excess of its base cost. If the caster lvl and gems put in the spell you try to dispel exceed yours...well, unless you're really lucky and win an improbable RNG, you're screwed.

Also, note that you might dispel on of your own enchantments this way, so be careful when there are already 5 globals.
