Re: Your most magic-less game
EDIT: Oops, I was assuming const 4 instead of const 2.
This is what Pythium can get on a dormant PoD with earth magic when he shows himself. The gem cost is huge, but - you're Pythium, you've got the gems:
* Fire Plate
- Between the plate and your high prot, the fire blessing can't hurt you.
* Ice Sword x 2
- Not ideal, but you depend on fear to make people run away.
* Horror Helmet (alchemized from 20 pearls if need be)
- even blessed high morale troops run from a PoD in this thing.
* Boots of Giant Strength or Behemonth
- Require alchemy and a turn of god time, may not even be worth the trouble.
* Ring of Tamed Lightning
* Pendant of Luck
In his own dominion, this guy runs through jaguar warriors, blessed van, all that jazz like a hot-knife-through-butter.
Raiding is still a huge issue - but you're Pythium. Time is on your side. And a few good guesses with the Prince can cut down on the enemy's supply of van very quickly.
