He had 30 protection! So um... thats pretty good

And here I was thinking you could use a number of gems equal to the gem cost of the spell + your level in the required path.

Well if he could only have used 1 gem, well then, I guess that was a serious tactical error! Tiem to work on some F9 casters!!

i would guess that huzurdaddi (ironic nick) is projecting his own babyness (by losing a battle then saying "screw you guys, I'm going home") on others.

Sounded like a "Waaa, too bad!" to me. Huzurbaby doesn't seem to care if his quitting and picking up his toys and going home hurts the game. Maybe he should start a club with Cohen, have a Quitters Secret Treehouse.

You seem to feel that the game is "all about SC's", and you are talking about Vanheim? How are you playing Vanheim? They have very nice sneaking armies capability which can tear up the SC tactic. I would consider Vanheim to be the fix for SC's far more than having to rely on them.

Pythium on the other hand, I can see having a problem in a game with many SuperCombatants

What does that mean?
It means dont be a putz and quit the multiplayer game before all of your candles are snuffed.
