Nice but not as good.


Actually CotS does have one conspicuous advantage over "normal" Marignon. It gets Marignon's fire path heros. Both the cardinal and Tomaso can cast flaming arrows (communion optional for the latter), which in concert with wind guide is quite a bit of fun.

That being said, I think the Royal Chartmakers should be given some extra buff, (perhaps a reduction in the chance of bad events in their location?) Unlike normal Marignon's High Mages...They aren't sacred, so you wont have very many that aren't devoted to communion mastering.

Be nice to make them slightly useful on their own.

Though Orb lightning is nice once you have a precision enhanced communion horde... surviving that long is nontrivial, against competent opposition.

Also it seems that the communion abuse is at present the only viable long term startegy for CotS, (at least more so than standard Mary) which is not really ideal.

Especially given the fire path advantage outlined above is arguably a bug.
