Back to the topic of the post, what happened to the wyrm. Was it nerfed? At one time the wyrm was the "automatic choice" for SC and now I hardly see it mentioned.

I fooled around a bit with an 1150 -point rainbow wyrm. 300 hp and regen is fun. But you run out of fatigue in big fights and when machaka blinded it I had to use GoH... which can't be relied on in multiplay. And you cant put an elemental armor on it. But even a no-magic wyrm can probably beat a VQ early on. I'll test this... ok I tried it.. no magic-wyrm vs rainbow3 VQ. The wyrm's bite is not magical, the vq resists poison, and since lifedrain fatigues the victim the wyrm was soon passed out. The vq did not even get hit.

Pperhaps it isn't broken - but then, pls, we would like a general strategy to deal w/ the VQ/uber-SC + infinite castling + clam/wishes combo.

archaeolept - dont play in big games on huge maps against good players. That's what I will do when I start playing multiplayer dom again. A while ago I played against norfleet and gave up since the game was just too big for me and I ran out of ideas.. but I was not in a bad position really, if we had switched sides those vqs would most likely be killed every time they popped up.

The vq just needs 80 new path cost imo to lower the impact they have around turn 10-20. And some players will want houserules to not use them.
