PBEM Game: King of the Hill 2 (Closed)

[The_Tauren13]

I guess I never really thought about alchemizing. Thats probably a great way to actually make some money, and the guy in that link Molog posted had a really good idea: fever fettishes. If you get a hefty fire gem income, who cares if your population dies off, you could still support a bunch of mages with alchemy.
Wait, what are those '3 non-artifact boosters' you mentioned? Other battle spells? I guess fire magic is always good for dishing out massive damage... and would definitely make earlier expansion easier. The thing is, level 4 sites are really few and uncommon, so I didnt think it was worth it just for the site searching.

3 non-artifact booster : the flame helmet, the fiery skull (only requires 1F and 1D) and a staff of elemental mastery. The first two are dead easy, as long as you acquire any amount of fire gem income, and your pretender can forge the last as well. (There's also Robe of the Magi and Ring of Wizardry, but those tend not to be easily obtainable by Pangaea of any flavor.) If you only have 2 of those, that raises you to 6, and Phoenix power gives 7 - that's a lot of devastation you can cast without too much fatigue.

And sure, the level 4 sites are few and far between - but they also tend to be better, and you really do want all the fire income you can get. Once again - if fire didn't tend to also be so handy on the battlefield, I might not recommend taking it to 4 - water and air, by comparison, have relatively little reason to take past 2 or 3 imo.
