Super-Casting Pretenders?

[ywl]

A Golden Naga is viable for Ulm. With the 120 extra points from drain +3. I can have 200 points for scale even with a Golden Naga of 6 Fire, 2 Water (for Quickness), 2 Nature and 2 Death.

The only trouble I have is "Fire Cloud". The caster casts it too often and damages my own advancing troop.

well, that's the problem w/ not taking air

try nixing the death, reducing to nature 1 (for eagle eyes), taking one point of heat (though you certainly do pay for it in economic penalties, however the Naga gets penalties in any cold, so the heat at least acts as a ward...), and using the resultant points for the eminently useful Air4

quickness + earth power + strenght of gaia + aim + eagle eyes.

[DLC]

aim and eagle eyes dont stack

and remove strenght of gaia, that doesn't add reinvigoration meh.

I can't wait to play this game enough that I know what you guys are talking about, because you're clearly all tacticians. Hats off to Shrapnel for this one. Just got it and I can tell it'll be in my drive for a long time.

Both nature and death are important for Ulm. Their summons add more diversity to their limited magic. The current configuration, IMHO, give a more balanced Ulm. Oh... also, death and fire together give you the flaming skull, which can increase the Fire level of your Master Smith by one.

Air is quite important for warding against lightning... but if it's just for adding two or three pecision, it doesn't worth it.
