Your Dom2 quiz question for today

[magnate]

Who said anything about a fair fight? It's true that I didn't mention the Arch Devil, and I think GrayZ's right, most of the 18 dead centaurs were the AD, and he might have won the battle if the vans' commander hadn't died.

I also didn't mention the three pans, two shamen, illusionist, hydromancer, medusa and sundry other mages who did quite a good job tying up some of the vans ...

So it wasn't quite as clear a contest as I made out, but I was pretty stunned how much better the E9N9 centaurs were than the multi-blessed vans, even without the mages' help.

Now, GrayZ, go start your own thread about how to deal with SCs - or read old ones, there are tons on here. One tip someone gave me is that google is actually better at searching this board than the in-built Search function ...

P.S. Griffin - the berserk E9N9 centaurs only have 19 prot, because the +6 from the berserk does not stack arithmetically with their existing 15 protection - you have to use that formula which separates natural prot from armour prot.

This might sound dumb.but what's a "van"?

[shovah]

its vanheims sacred unit

[Endoperez]

Vans, like the white centaurs, have high defense and are sacred, but have rather weak attack. Both are very good units when used with high-magic pretender, either playing on their strengths (defense -> high water) or giving them real damaging power (fire 9, or nature 9 for centaurs as they start with berserk)

[shovah]

slightly off topic: if you want extreme sacred get ice giant guys(4got name) with nature 9
