Gorgon as aSC?

[Xietor]

Petrify is fairly wicked. I was fooling around and made a gorgon with 8 earth, 10 dominion and set her loose. She destroyed everything. The petrify worked better than i expected. Not even sure the awe was needed.

Of course she does have low hp. I guess mr is the check used for petrify. Did not get to try her out against undead, so not sure if you can petrify them or not(doubt it).

I do think races with low mr, like ulm would be in trouble early on before they got stone statues and other mechanical beings that i assume would be immune.

you can petrify anything but the functionally blind (those that lost their eyes are not immune)

e9dom10 gorgons are pretty affordable in base. And yes, they are kickass SC chassis. =)

Awe is not really useful for the gorgon, but Astral is !
cast luck & Body Etheral, give her 2 shields and boots of Behemots and she can take indep 8 for breakfast

They you have to research a lot. better is just to get a dom10 gorgon and she will be able to take indep 9 since turn 1.

plus, 10 jade maidens a turn (sauromatia gets a gorgon)
