Silent Seas AAR

Turn 64
My tests have been positive! My Yavanas went from 14 action point to 21 when blessed, to 28 when Celestial Music was cast. The incantation also affected the Gandharvas and Apsaras, as well as the Yakshas and Yakshinis. Here is a shot of Balastha casting the spell.



Balastha is now crossing the border into the province where Vanheim is besieging T'ien Ch'i's fortification. He is co-ordinating with Hansanadini and Ananda, who will have no frontier left once this city is captured.

My researchers this turn discovered the words of power that will protect a whole army from missiles. This knowledge is being rushed to the front, where Balastha can put it into practice immediately. My researchers are being tasked on discovering unique magical artifacts.

mmmm... Stacking quickness makes my mouth water almost as much as the new lighting effects.

Btw, all spell effects look better now. Remeber that slime spell effect? It looks cool now.

Indeed, the new lighting effects are awesome.

Coolnes. I hope to see Orb Lightning in action...

I thought the point he was making was that they don't stack. From 14 to 21 due to bless means +50%. To then go on to 28 means a total bless effect of only +100%. Had he not cast the bless but only the other spell, it would have gone from 14 straight to 28. The test he was conducting wasn't about stacking quickness, anyway. It was whether the Yavanas were considered Celestial Dancers or not.

true true. Maybe in light of this spell (Celestial Dancers) I should have gone for a fire blessing instead of water... although it takes a while to get up to Ench. 6 or whatever it is to cast Celestial Dancers - plus the fact that the only national mages that can cast it are summons. Probably better early to mid game the way I did it, and better mid to late game with a fire blessing.

Choices choices.

But that's what we love in this game, right?

Also, it made pretty blue sparklies
