Default Re: Balancing Wrathful Skies

@ Tinktank ( quoting would be too long ) :

You are not argumenting for the games sake but only for your preffered playstyle .

You love national troops but wrathful skies is just a good counter vs. national troops .
There is the really obvious solution of SCs against this though . And there are enough good summoned troops that can withstand wrathful skies long enough .

Because of supplyissues you will rarely have big enough national troop armies anyways that wrathful skies can really hurt you !

If you have e.g. 60 national troops , e.g. as marignon 30 x-bows and 30 flaggelants + 2 mages leading them this force costs you approximately 1000 gold to recruit .

The wrathful sky user has some difficulties :
If he uses cloud trapeze he can't bring with him an army .
But if you do this then he is alone and he is the attacker and could very likely be killed in the first battle round by your troops .

Furthermore you have to invest 20 airgems for a staff of storms most likely .

The wrathful skies is not the problem . As long as you don't have an army more worth then about 1000 gold using wrathful skies against you is not cost effective .
In early-midgame you rarely have greater armies and in lategame you have countertroops + SCs en masse anyways like mech men , tartarians , whatever .


Have you really played a mp game so far where wrathful skies ruined your game or do you just speculate like i did some months before with my "invincible" vampirehoard idea which turned out in practice as garbage ?
