The Ultimate Crystal Amazon Poll

quantum_mechani · #1 August 6th, 2004, 05:37 AM

Yes, I have done this before. But I'm still convinced that something is wrong with thier chances for appearing. I've played a lot , and have found all the other amazons over a dozen times- but never a crystal. This is despite plains being one of the most common terrian types.

I have added Garnet and Jade to the poll to provide a better average.

And you left room for the "Penultimate Amazon Poll" when you add Onyx Amazons next time.

Then there's the Pink PLastic Amazons (inflatable), and the Ex-spouse Amazons. Heh.

I do think you're right though - either there's a bug with Crystal Amazons, _or_ Illwinter decided to make them very very very very rare. (I may have left out a few very's.)

Huh? Someone has only found Jade amazons once but Garnet Amazons in most games? (Having seen the results of 2 people voting, and then 3 people voting, I know this was the same person.)

I'm guessing someone who has mostly only played aquatic nations?

Wow. I'm amazed. I've so very rarely seen ambers, (twice) while I've had Jades in 2 provinces neighboring my capital in one game alone, on Urgaea, and certainly see them in at least 1/4 to 1/2 my games.

I think this poll has some structural problems. Perhaps questions with answers like 'never', 'seldom', 'often', & 'constantly' would provide a better feel of the provinces that poll contributers remember better because they were noteworthy in some game or other. That being said it does seem like the crystals are quite a bit less likely. I have only encountered them a couple times during my testbedding of various nations. Often plains battles are terribly dull too; this province has light infantry, militia, and archers - that one has heavy infantry, militia, and archers.
