Invisible Swarm III: over

[Turin]

I´d like to playin invis swarm 4 too.

regarding lifedrain weapons: I played a bit of lets design a banelord to send it after the other banelord and lifedrain designs were inferior to real combat designs.

Most of the other weapons got boosted, so a hellsword wielding thug will lose often vs thugs wielding a cheaper shield/sword combo.

I don't quite understand what you are saying here. Of course, the hell sword loses badly under the mods to pretty much anything else, just as designed.

Also, in a bane lord vs bane lord, the guy without a weapon (using the bane blade) will kill the LD guy every time, as that is a nice anti-SC weapon. I always have some bane lords with no weapon hanging around just for this exact purpose.

But against non-SC armies, the bane lord with Life Drain (base game) kicks serious ***, big time. The Hell Sword is easily 3-4 times better than the Bane Blade. Probably more...
