Seriously Bo- gus, dudes

So in this latest game (playing as Arco but you'd know soon enough), I get hit by Bogus and Co.
Attack with a 150-strong force led by Pathos... down to just Bogus. He's only MR of 12, so I got a...

Re: Vengefull Witch

Or there's a magic site that deals curses that nobody's found (but Arco shouldn't have unseen sites due to easy access to Acashic Record). There'd be no surprise at such a site- there's at least one...

Re: Why am I not able to win the Orania Map ?

First suggestion: Leave Ermor out of the opponent pool. The other AIs can't handle 'em.
Or, if you insist: Make a Broken Empire Ermor (non-pop-killing style), play a few turns of them alongside...

Re: Looking for TienChi S&A EVIL strats - anyone?

SC: S&A doesn't have Consorts. Seeking Arrow is Ench, not Evoc. I get those mixed up too sometimes. Also it's Air 3, not very spammable.

Re: Vanheim Musings

I checked the Tome (if you haven't DL'd it - highly recommended to try to cost out a concept):
Moloch is the cheapest to get F/W 9/9 ... 665 points. You'll have to take at least 4 extra negative...

Re: Counters to specific scenario

Technically, yes... if you're the attacker (since the defenders go first). So put a bunch of whatever mage-squad you plan on using in the boundary provinces and make this überastral whatzit attack. ...

Admittedly, Spring and Autumn has a devil of a time just getting out of the blocks...
I'd suggest being active in the mercenary market while you still have the gold to do so early on.

Re: Ack! Do I need to restart?

This is why I always recruit a priest-type on turn 1 (one with magical abilities preferred to cover all bases).

\"Radiates power\"

What determines if a given character is reported in scouting reports as "radiating power"? Pretenders obviously, Prophets likely, HoF-eligibles, sure. But why would a Dark Vines get such a jump? ...

Re: Super-Combatants

Except that in assassinations, retreat == death. So the round 100 situation would not apply. Of course, now I find myself wondering how to put together two characters such that neither can kill the...

Re: sequence of events: retreating

I read the turn sequence order again. There's no separate line for retreats (either kind). BB's figuring the order this way:
1 SC teleports in (Magic phase)
2 Battle occurs with SC retreating...

Re: sequence of events: retreating

If I read this right, you figure correctly. Battles occurring as a result of magic movement (like Teleport) happen before conventional attacks.
