Sure, the VQ is immortal, but without the right items she's not really useful - and even an immortal unit looses its items upon death...

(Or is it necessary that SC-VQ are equipped with Fire/Earth magic?)

Some people are under the belief that VQs, inside their dominion, particularly in conjunction with "mad castling", can be lobbed over and over at an invading army with no real risk.

What they're forgetting is that if you got killed the first time, you're going to get killed again EVERY time you try that same stunt, and while it doesn't really hurt, it doesn't really accomplish anything either, and you'll just die repeatedly while losing castles and temples one by one.

2 obvious faults and misleads in such a small post. norf is really pushing it.


VQ may very well kill significant part of the army even if it loses at the end. If she did that, she will almost certanly wipe out the remaining army completely in the next battle or two, unless they recieve massive reinforcements in the same turn.


And even if VQ loses without inflicting much loses on the enemy, nobody said she had to attack alone all the time, making the same mistakes. She may very well take few strong SCs and army to help her in battle, and to distract attention from her while she is wiping the enemy's best troops.

After all you would have to be very stupid "to pull the same stunt if it doesn't accomplish anything".
