Golden Age Arcoscephale

Good point. But you can never be too careful eh?

What she does need is a Ring of the Snake, nothing like losing a perfectly good Virtue to a Snake Bladder Stick

Another thing. I always thought was a little bizzare. She's wielding a Flambeau and isn't fire Resistant. And if you've ever killed a Virtue with Holy Pyre, it's ironic as all hell

Well, that's why you give her a hellsword.

Actually I think she won't cast Resist Lightning even if you script her so.

Good one.

Anyway I always give fire and/or cold resistance to my Virtues before they go after other nations. It's so easy to lose them to Incinerate or Frozen Heart if you're not careful enough.

She can get afflicted to hell via poison as well. Not a prob with arco, but for everyone else.

Flame helmet is my FR item of choice these days

Poison will kill her and in the hands of the right player, they will have one coming at you on turn 5ish if you try to use your Virtue in any SC capacity if you don't put one on her.

Yes, that may be a problem. Still, poison isn't as dangerous for her as mass Incinerate/Frozen Heart if she lacks the ad hoc resistance(s). These may kill her in a single round, and Awe doesn't help here.

OTOH there aren't long range 100 prec poison spells. And poison kills over time, so its effect may be negated by regeneration if the Virtue gets enough buff from her dominion (sending her alone in enemy dominion where you expect to see a type of spells she's not resistant to is always a bad idea).

For the record, I've had a Virtue stand toe-to-toe and win a fight vs 4 Hydras in a Dom 1 MP game - she had regeneration but no poison resistance.

No wonder you had bad experiences with her. That should be 5-10 kills a turn after you've researched a couple levels in Alteration and Evocation.

If you want to get to Thunder Strike, sure she'll kill more people. That's Evocation-4, though, and as I said, we're talking about the first 5 turns.

Though, if you can tell me how to get to Evocation-4 by turn 5, I'm all ears.
