A naked VQ with fire-4-shield kills 5..15 milita per combat. That won't make 60+ troops root 4 in 5 times. To make things more interesting, use difficult or extremly difficult research.

*cough*

a fire 4 shield? well, sure, if you're not even trying. W/ Alt 3 Enchant 1 a cheap VQ can destroy pretty well anything on the planet w/out breaking a sweat.

Basically, you are just saying that Etherealness, Regeneration, High Protection (armor or ironskin/invulnerability), Low Encumberance, Life Drain, and Immortality... are really uber together.

Well, that's a suprise!

However, that can be acomplished by a number of pretender templates... either through magic or items (though the immortality + full items slots is hard to beat).

She's the fastest out of the gate whooping it up with Indie 9s really early... but I don't think this is a problem, because somebody has to be... why not the VQ?

However, I think the full item slots means that she doesn't suffer at all for this in the late game... pretenders like the Dragons, Bulls, Wyrm, ect... can whoop up on indies early too, but they are more limited in the later game(ie against other empires), because they can't increase their power as effectively with added items...

So take away her misc slots. See how popular she is.
