Default Re: vengeance of the dead, how it works with 1000+

You guys are assuming a lot. Can you point me to the MP thread where someone with MP experience has complained because an enemy is spamming VoTD against him?

Sure. Wish granted

(althoug i think you should had used your only wish to find cancer's cure for example)

An opponent's SC has to make it into the hall of fame to be a realistic target
Which bassically menas "using the SC". Also notice that the spell is DOUBLED every time it is cast. I got 5 casts in a turn...

If it needs any tweaking, it needs to be fixed where when an Immortal dies to it while targeted in his own dominion, he goes back to his capital.
It needs to be fixed so it actually follow the rules (ATTACKER loses in turn 50, not the defender). The sentence "the army of Ryleh is routed" can be read clearly. Just that the fact there is no leader retreating and the troops are a special form of undead that need no leadership to fight made the designer forgot to add a way to the army actually being defeated in that turn

f you guys do succeed in your quest to nerf fun and unique spells in this game such as Vengeance of the Dead, what is to stop the same player from spamming Horror Mark on your precious SC?
Nothing at all. Notice that I'm not advocating that SC should be invincible. I'm saying that the BUGS in the GAME should be fixed. This is a bug. Like Mist of deception is. Probably related bugs (mindless special units created by a spell that do not die when they have no leader). I dont want a dull game, but i do want a game as free of bugs as possible.

Oh, that's insightful. At the very least it shows your own level of reasoning i guess.

Maybe when he has two months, he will equip an amulet of antimagic.
I'm pretty sure you are aware that amulet of antimagic is construction 4, and this spell is thaumaturgy 4, so in order of your brilliant suggestion be able to be used the nation
1) need astral
2) need to rush to construction 4 as soon as the other nation rush to thau 4
3) need to have better and faster research than the VotD caster, which might be impossible depending on the nations compared research mages
4) even if you run as much as the other guy does, you need 1 turn to craft the item and 1 turn to equip it, and only 1 turn to cast VotD, so it still beats you
5) it is reported that the out of combat spells reduce the MR (see the link). Being it a WAD or bug, it is there.
6) penetration items also are available.
7) it cost 3 damn gems, it is easily spamable for the right nations
8)the original poster in the original thread that i linked you at the starting of this post had MR 25.
9) did i say i did not have an amulet of mr?
