Cross-Breading

[Oversway]

I tried it out with marignon df, and I think it can be a fun sp strat but not worth it for mp. Even with high luck you do not get that many good units for the blood. The weaker ones are better than milia, but not by enough to spend your blood on them. I cannot think of a nation that would find them useful.

If you are playing for fun, the grotesque looks worthwhile to GOR, as well as the ettin. Maybe the chimera, draco lion, or cockatrice, since you are just playing for the heck of it

I was trying to think how to mod crossbreeding to be worthwhile. You could lower the blood slaves and/or research level, yet another way to generate fodder isn't that great. I'd rather see the units be more interesting. More protection would be a big help, most of them have less than 10. More abilities would also be a plus.

Sadly, everything with less than 15HP and 15Prot/15Def dies to fast for its interesting abilities to have that much of an effect.

Maybe if some of them had elemental resistances .. would be useful against battle spells.

But oc only if you get enough of them - therefore their number should be greatly improve to make the spell worthwhile.

I tried wishing for a "Baguette"
I just don't understand it. If you can cross-breed it (even using a bakery) why can't you wish for one? I think a baguette would make an excellant unit, if properly equipped with the Green Eye, Nethgul, and Carcator.

Therein lies the misunderstanding, which I just realized comes from the thread title. You cannot crossbreed baguettes! They only come from crossbreading.

One of the tentacled ones is immune to cold. But I agree, more elemental resistances or prot/def.

There must be some mistake. I was sure that was how to get challah?

Still not convinced about the baguette.

And you _have_ to involve me or you can't get sourdough.

QM - Did you ever consider changing X-Breading? I was actually surprised by the unanimous sentiment on the subject.
